September 29 - Surviving as a Nation & Choose To Unite at 22,000 Views

"If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth. His defeat would say that when handed a perfect opportunity to put the worst part of our history behind us, we chose not to.  In this event, the world's judgement will be severe and inescapable: the United States had its day, but in the end could not put its own self-interest ahead of its crazy irrationality over race."

"You may or may not agree with Obama's policy prescriptions, but they are, by and large, serious attempts to deal with the biggest issues we face: a failing health care system, oil dependency, income stagnation and climate change.  To the rest of the world, a rejection of the promise he represents wouldn't just be an odd choice by the United States.  It would be taken for what it would be: sign and symptom of a nation's historical decline."
