Why I Won’t Vote for Obama
By Janet Morris • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Ages: 16-19, Ages: 20-24, Ages: 25-30, EditorialsLately, it seems as though the internet has become a breeding ground for pro-Obama people, which is fine and dandy, but I’m not one of them.
I won’t vote for Obama because he would not vote for a bill that he claimed he sponsored. He would not vote for a bill protecting sex-abuse victims by allowing them to get a court order to block their court records from being seen by the public. I’m not talking about the criminals here, but the VICTIMS. Victims who have already been hurt and deceived by adults and the like who may have even claimed that they cared about them.
So, why didn’t he support this bill?
Apparently, it wasn’t in line with the First Amendment. I’ve read the First Amendment and I’ve read the bill. Personally, I think that he didn’t support it because he doesn’t have the guts to. He doesn’t have the guts to actually take a stand on an issue until it’s too late.
What does that mean?
We could be in line for a second Jimmy Carter, who was a great man, but a horrible President. I know most of the people reading this will not know much about Carter, but trust me when I say that, even I, Janet the liberal, would not have wanted him as President.
I will probably vote for McCain come November, if Obama gets the nomination. In my opinion you should vote based on what you believe in. Because of this, I don’t want to vote for a man who might continue the war but I cannot, in good conscience, vote for Obama.
Janet Morris is I'm a 24 year old from Huntsville, Alabama. I write poetry and am working on my memoir, which will discuss my psych history and abuse I went through as a child. I was majoring in Social Work, but I've changed my major to Psychology, since I decided to become a Psychologist. I will always be a writer at heart, though. I am the Editor in Chief.
