The time is now…my endorsment.

“I’m asking you to believe.  Not just in my ability to bring about real change Washington…I’m asking you to believe in yours”

The time is now.  I have researched all I can research. Prayed all I can pray. Thought all I could think.  The time is now that I make a decision on who I will throw my support and effort behind for the Presidency.In my personal opinion this upcoming election is the very most important election in United States History.  I’m not of the thinking it’s so important because our current President has done a bad job, because I don’t feel that way.  I feel it is the most important election of our time because of what is at stake.  September 11^th, 2001 changed America, it changed it all.  President Bush has done an exemplary job in addressing the war on terror and keeping America safe.  Like him, love him, or hate him, he is the leader of our country and he is a man who we all should be praying for on a daily basis.  Your political preference should not prohibit you nor anyone from praying for your leader.  There have been mistakes made, like in every administration, like there will be mistakes made in the next administration, but the time is now to think about that next administration.If you are reading this, you know me. If you don’t know me let me go ahead and enlighten you.  In the 2004 election I voted, in my first election, for George W. Bush.  He far and away was the most superb candidate versus his competition.  I’m pro-life, I have supported the Iraq war from the beginning mainly because I believed in the ousting of Saddam Hussein, I admit there have been mistakes, both major and minor, in the Iraq war, and have sometimes I’m sure viewed as a Republican.  The latter of my description is not true, however.  I declare no political affiliation and have always said I will vote for what I view is the best candidate.The time is now…

The best candidate for the Presidency of the United States is…

I have differences with Obama on an array of issues, however in my research of all the candidates in the presidential race obama far succeeds what I am looking for in bringing america back together as one nation under god!

I am fully supporting Barack Obama!  I’ll be doing what I can to get Obama elected albeit volunteering, stickers on my car, and even urging you to vote for Barack.  God be with you.

“I’m asking you to believe.  Not just in my ability to bring about real change Washington…I’m asking you to believe in yours”

-Barack Obama

Could we trust her?

Let me preface this video by letting you know that is was a paid for ad by John Edwards, however it is pretty self explanatory. Decide for yourself. But after watching this ask yourself this question, “Can I trust this woman?”

Only 14 remaining.

Don’t worry… If you have been following my Presidential Endorsement Series of posts I haven’t stopped them, just broke from them to change it up. I’ll be finishing it up in the coming days… 

In the, “what have you done for me lately” world of College Football, Coaching changes have picked up the kind of steam the NFL-Draft now has.  There are 66 BCS schools, including Notre Dame, and of those schools only 14 of them have NOT made coaching changes this decade.

The 14: Auburn, Clemson, Connecticut, Florida State, Iowa, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Texas, Texas Tech, USF and Virginia Tech.

Of the 14, who will be next?  If I was a betting man, my money would be on Tennessee.

On the other end of the spectrum: Alabama, Stanford, and Indiana all have changed coaches 3 different times.
