Dear America:
Nov. 4th, 2008 08:16 amPlease elect Barack Obama as your next president.
Not just because he is the best man to be in charge of your country, but because he is the best man to be in charge of the part of the world that is currently most influential over the rest of it.
If you put McCain in charge, somebody somewhere in the next four-eight years is almost certainly going to get nuked. The way that man talks about war terrifies me. The possibility of a third world war, given the current tensions in the middle east and elsewhere, is a real one. The last thing anyone needs is a man who seems to want that kind of conflict in charge of the country sitting on the powder geg.
This election is not just about you - it effects every single person on earth. Please, please, if you're not thinking of the rest of your country - of the poverty stricken lower classes; the foster children without decent medical insurance; the rape victims who have no access to abortion; the GLBT human beings with no right to marriage or adoption; the economy crashing and burning because of Republican financial policies - think of the rest of the world.
Vote responsibly;
Vote for Barack Obama.
Yes.you.can.
(And pay no heed to the fact that his catch line is filched from that of a British, animated children's TV character).
