Obama for President


Now it's down to two. With the suspension of the campaign of the admirable John Edwards, Democrats have a clear choice. However it's phrased (past vs. future, technocrat vs. visionary, etc.), the differences between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama don't really involve major policy differences. Rather, it's more a style of politics and a generosity of spirit and authenticity of vision that distinguishes the two candidates from each other. We believe that the candidate best able to unite Americans and point them toward a better, more progressive America is Sen. Barack Obama.

To be most successful in politics, and governing, a person must have an ability to inspire as well as challenge us. That's because we need to overcome the fears and division that have been the hallmark of the past 7 years, if not the last 25. It's because we need to begin to rebuild what has been neglected. It's because we need to restore our standing with the world's nations, and our government's standing with its own people. For these and many other reasons, tangible and intangible, Hackwhackers proudly endorses Sen. Barack Obama for President.
