Reader gives Obama his support

I have never had much use for political pundits, but I have never seen them as worthless and damaging as they are in this election.

For the first time, in this year's historic election, we have diverse candidates running. So naturally the pundits are having a field day pointing out who votes for whom. There is even one person on CNN who has a "magic" white board that he uses to slice and dice the country and the people living in it.

It is time for all the pundits to put a sock in it, step back from their white boards or word processors, draw a circle around the entire country and say "This is where Americans live, and they will be voting for the person of their choice."

This is the message that presidential candidate Barack Obama is so eloquently saying when he says we need a change in this country. We need to get away from all the fences that the Republicans have built in order to separate and segregate us like so many cattle. We have to be one people, one America, all working toward the good of the country and not just the good of some politician's "base."

As much as I love and respect Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, I feel that she is too divisive to accomplish this and, of course, GOP frontrunner John McCain would be just more of the same.

No, only one person has the ability to bail us out of the consequences of eight years of incompetent leadership- only one person can bring us together as a nation to work for the common good.

That person is Barack Obama. John Darling Ventura
