Barack Obama visited Eugene, Oregon today. I decided not to attend for a number of reasons- mainly because the local news live streamed the entire speech.
In any case, Obama was down to earth, eloquent, humble, and genuine all at once. I heard someone call him “a real human being” he does come across [...]

Today, was a miserable day. Sure, it was a beautiful sunny day. But, noticing that we have passed a casualty milestone in Iraq and hearing how cold-hearted the Vice-President was, in response to that milestone, broke my heart.
