To Mr. Severe

Editor:

Once again Mr. Severe has written an epistle to try to turn the faithful away from Obama.

But, this time he is trying to convince us that we are “emotional” and that that is the only reason we are voting for Obama.

I beg to differ with him.

I am going to keep this short and sweet.

I am not voting for Obama because he is a Democrat or because he is black or because I hate George W. Bush.

I am voting for Obama because he may be the smartest leader we will ever have as a president.

Barack Obama is wildly endorsed by the rest of the world, except by Iran and the Al Qaeda who prefer McCain.

I am voting for Obama because he gives me hope that the things really important to our Society, like health care and education will be given a fair shake.

I am voting for Obama because this ridiculous “trickle down” theory and wall street deregulation has proven a disaster for our country.

McCain has been a strong supporter of each throughout his career.

This is fact, not emotion talking.

Small business owners that I have talked to say “ I don’t need a tax break, I need customers”.

Customers are the middle class, we buy services and products, we don’t pay ludicrous salaries to executives and lobbyists.

We don’t hand out billions in golden parachutes. We don’t ship jobs overseas.

I am voting for Obama because he has dedicated his entire career to improving this country and I believe in him
