--I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.--MLK, August 28, 1963

It's this simple. John McCain has betrayed everything he was; his stance on major issues, His loyalty to his principles to embrace the Bush policies, His disdain for the negative, lying politics of the minions of Rove, his fellow servicemen from both the Viet Nam era and today all for political expediency.

Obama has learned throughout this campaign to adjust some of his stances in an interest of compromise, which was the main plank of his campaign. He has held true to his values. He has stood up to the Clintons and won while still allowing them their time in the light without bowing to the opinion that Hillary had to be his running mate even though all of it might have cost him votes. He has won over and chosen a running mate who was critical of him. A running mate whose experience could overshadow him but he still did it in interest of serving his country. He has remained loyal to his family and has been open about his mistakes. And finally, he has spoken so honestly and intelligently with us about race and division that all pundits have been shocked.

Please, I invite you to weigh the contents of their character and make your decision.
