52: The Barack Obama Tripod
For those of you who have asked what the hell the "Barack Obama Tripod" is, here's the answer! It's just Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope. I've used the book on occasion to give my camera a little extra height for a shot. I also use it to give the camera a flat surface to rest on every once in awhile. I'm actually considering buying a gorilla tripod. Anyone know where I can get a good deal?
This book is quite good. It lays out the issues our country faces one by one and Obama discusses his own experiences with each of them as well as some potential solutions. The candidness of his writing was a major draw for me as I was picking a candidate to support early on. He's not afraid to tell the truth about his past and he is open-minded enough to recognize where people with differing opinions are coming from. I laughed heartily when I read an amateur review on Amazon.com that criticized the book's content because it, and I quote, "borders on audaciousness."
I decided to vote for Obama at the Minnesota caucus on Super Tuesday. I believe he's the only candidate left who can transcend the partisan tension in Washington. Also of importance, he represents a fresh start in politics for a generation of young voters who want to believe that the country they will inherit will still be a prosperous and fair one. I think he's the type of person who can admit mistakes and work towards fixing them. In other words, he's honest.
I am hoping that the Democratic race will end sooner than later to minimize John McCain's time advantage. With all due respect to Senator Clinton, she should realize how desperate her campaign looks as it keeps trying to find new ways to justify the idea that she can win this nomination.
Bottom line, I trust Barack Obama. It's why I voted for him in February and why I look forward to voting for him again in November.
PS: I'm neglecting FGR today because I don't get my own kitchen in the dorms.
