I never really talk politics on here because well, this is neither the time nor the place I feel to express my opinions. However Obama selecting Sen. Joe Biden was one of his best decisions he could have made. Finally shutting down the experience and foreign relation/policy argument that is always used it fills in for his shortcomings. Now Biden is very outspoken and is known to say a lot of dumb things including comments about Barack earlier in the campaign but apparently they have let that go. Either way it is better then Hillary because no one really wants the Clinton's in the picture anymore and the attention she would try to muster would be harmful to Obama's campaign. Him even allowing the Clinton's to even speak at the convention isn't a good look for him. Quite frankly I dont think Obama is the best candidate in the world but to me he is the best we have to choose from and the lesser of two evils.
While I'm on the subject I really encourage anyone of age not to just vote but educate yourself about the political happenings. An interesting quote I always use about government is, "The people should never be afraid of the government, the government should always fear it's people." We need to get out here and understand what's going on because these decisions being made affect us the most. Just voting isn't enough though. There is no point in uneducated voting. Find the candidate that fits your beliefs and philosophies and support them. Show interest in how our country is run and use the power it gives us.
