I need to write this post, more for me than for anyone who may eventually read this blog. I need to write this post so that I can actually keep this blog.
These posts aren't going to be perfect. They will be researched, but I do not have the time to go through 100-200 hours of research for each post, which is what I think it would take to really do these justice. So as a disclaimer -- I will not be able to give a full view of this person's role in politics. I will be giving a snapshot, but I hope it can go beyond the soundbyte.
I have been intimidated in trying to figure out how to describe Obama. I know a lot about him. I have followed his campaign for the presidency closely for a long time. I like him, but I don't know what to say about him. That being said, I will probably fumble a lot in the beginning. Things may seem chaotic and not unified. That is because I am figuring out how to do this as it goes along. Hopefully in a year from now, I will be better than I am today.
To those reading this blog who want to see a change, and feel like they want to be a part of it -- I welcome you. I think it will take more than one blog of alternatives to start to change the face of the media and the face of soundbyte politics. I cannot do it alone. I need readers, and it will take a whole lot of other writers who want to change the face of American politics. We can learn and grow together, and make the American political process one we actually feel like participating in.
