2. Atonement
America has to atone on the World Stage and also domestically for the horror that is GWB and his merry band of criminally psychotic neocons.

I have an office mate thats a decent person, but a righty (like all ex-military I know) and he said, without my bringing it up, that he's voting for Obama.

8. Since last year, I've met retired Marines like you Dad supporting Obama
I'm talking about last spring and summer, way before McCain was even considered. They are so PISSED at Bush and certainly don't want anything like him to be continuing the crap and they are not exactly big fans with the Clintons. They respect Obama and think he will try to do the correct things and start this country in a new direction.

Salty guys like your dad make me a proud American when they don't drink the Neocon Koolaid.

Hats off to you and him!
