Barack Obama

This election was my first election that i was able to vote. I admit that i didn't pay as much attention to it as a should've, but i knew from the start who i wanted to vote for. Now that we're older, I was surprised to hear how many people my age that were so into the election. It also surprised me finding out the political views of a lot of my friends. I naturally have pretty much the same views that fall under the democratic party and so do many of my friends. I base it on the society we've grown up in and so it shocks me to hear when people would say that they're all for mccain. I find it hard to believe that people can believe things differently than me. Not in an arrogant way, its just something so weird to me that people can think so differently. For example the large issues of gay rights or abortion. The only idea i can settle on is that though this is a great country, we'll always have confrontation.
