2008 - The Year of the Underdog.

by neo_savvy 2/10/2008 8:40:00 PM

Loud bangs and flashes of fireworks ushered in an air of inevitability in 2008 in the sports and political landscape. It was a foregone conclusion that the New England Patriots were going to cruise to their fourth Superbowl title in 7 years. And then the New York Giants happened to the Patriots (18-1). I can still replay that whole offensive drive leading up to the perfect spiral touchdown pass by QB Eli Manning to WR Plaxico Burress. The New York Giants achieved an impossible feat when they won the Superbowl and prevented the "inevitable" coronation of the Patriots that almost everyone predicted would happen with ease.

Remember when John McCain's campaign was declared dead when he laid off a bunch of his campaign staff when money got tight? We all know what has happened since then. McCain is now the presumptive nominee of the Republican party. Along those lines, when Hillary Clinton started running for president, I assumed she would cruise all the way to the Democratic party nomination. But Barack Obama and America has a different plan. Hillary Clinton has taken all the big delegate states winning 8 states along the way so far. However, Barack has racked up 13 very impressive wins in states all across America while getting young people from different races and backgrounds involved in the political process. Even though he trails in the total count of pledged delegates, his campaign is gaining momentum.

By uniting people across all states - Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, he will provide the leadership necessary to bring about change desperately needed to lead our dear country off the abyssmal path we're charting on. There's no doubt that Obama is sailing through on the wave for political change in America because we are ready for something different. Take a stand for Universal Healthcare, Education, Peace, Diplomacy, Clean Energy and Civil Rights. If you're in one of the upcoming primary states, vote Barack Obama for change and make your voice heard. Only time will tell the exact sequence of events leading to a happy fairy tale ending - just like President Clinton predicted (he just didn't know it was going to be a happy ending Smile).

Join Barack Obama - Change We Can Believe In

Its great to look back on old posts like this, in the days when Obama was not the president or presumed president - where he was still the underdog being rooted for by millions of Americans either openly or secretly across the country.

I think that Obama has so far done a great job in office, and I hope that he is also living up to everyone elses expectations as a leader.
