Why I Voted for Obama

I tend not to listen to the politics side and to go with my gut when voting. My gut was already leaning heavily towards Obama for this last major election, but the final push was the following article I read in "Parents" magazine (see links below).

The Next First Family: Q&A with the Obamas

Q&A with Cindy McCain
http://www.parents.com/family-life/work-money-politics/election-2008/cindy-mccain/

What struck me with these two articles was that the Obama family came together as a family for the interview (which was the main topic of the interview) and the McCain family did not (only Cindy McCain was available - John McCain and children were too busy traveling, etc.)

In the end, I wanted someone in the Oval Office who would do right by my family. And my belief (especially after reading these articles) is that Obama was the best person for the job.
