I am amazed that so many people can judge someone based on a priest they listened to on Sunday mornings. For crying out loud people! You mean to tell me you’ve never had a Friend, Brother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Mother or Father do or say something that you didn’t agree with or that could be offensive to someone else?? Should you be judged by what they did??? Or since we’re on the topic of priests’ should those people that went to a Catholic church be judged because their Catholic priest molested someone??? People are judging a man because of what someone else, emphasis on “someone else”, said… How does that NOT sound childish and hypocritical? Too many people are just waiting to judge someone else so that they can feel better about themselves. Hell, our society has practically made that a past time! Reality Television anyone? People like Bill O’Reily and Nancy Grace make a living off of judging everyone else. I think we need to grow up and stop waiting to throw the first stone…

Something that I’ve taken away from this campaign, which in my opinion has gone on way too long, is that Obama has never changed who he is, has never abandoned those closest to him when they were being ridiculed, and has had the same direction and has spoken the same message from day one. Can anyone realistically say the same thing about Clinton or McCain?

In a society where everyone is judged on the surface without knowing much about them, I’d say he’s shown that he’s a good person who loves his country. Someone who, if anything, deserves a chance for the people of this country to get to know him better. The other option is to reject him because “We don’t know him well enough.” or “We don’t know if he has the political experience.” then years from now we can complain about him being too corrupt and just another Washington figure taking money from lobbyist and not thinking about the people of this country. Just another politician who can’t get anything done.

Take the blinders off and see the world for what it really is. It’s time to step out of  your safe little bubbles and see that maybe things do need to change.
