Political Baby...

So, there is no denying it... This family of three (plus a dog, plus a cat) is psyched about OBAMA ... In fact, JPA smiles really big and laughs when you say Ooobaaaaammmaaaa!!!

Seriously though, the country is NOT ready for Bush version three (Senior, Junior, McCain). I don't think my checkbook/budget can take another republican in the oval office. I'm registered as an independent and I have voted republican previously... But not this time. We need someone who is going to effect change. I don't have much hope in regards to either candidate halting the rise in gas prices... They are what they are and I can't ever see them declining enough to make a difference in my weekly paycheck. I am not a partisan person. I tend to vote for the candidate that I believe will actually make a positive difference that I will feel in my life. Obama is that person. He's fresh, new, and I could listen to him give a 36 hour speech on changing a light bulb. He's that great of an orator....

For the past three months, I wanted to buy some Obama gear for JPA... I was afraid if I did it before Hillary dropped out, my somehow trivial purchase would somehow jinx the very momentum of his campaigning (irrational and superstitious, I know)... So... after the last primary, I finally ordered not one, but two pieces of Obama apparel. The first is from the 'official' website. That way, the $$$ at least don't go in someone's pocket; however, the second is my favorite and I HAD to get it... So, stay tuned and hopefully there will be more updates and my JPA's first birthday, we'll be able to celebrate our nation's first minority president!!!!

Grandma , grandpa who is Obama. Well Grandson he was a second rate Jimmy Carter. Who we thought was going to be president. HAHA Hope all is well. I like the site. Miller
