You should not support Barack Obama because the Clintons abandoned you in your 2000 campaign for president. That betrayal was certainly one factor that led to eight long years of a Bush presidency. Al, you should not support Obama even though you recognize that Hillary and Bill are despicable. That they lie almost every day on the campaign trail. That they break rules and agreements. That they are race baiting, swift boating, and resorting to Rovian tactics in their relentless quest for power. You even recognize these things, and that the Clinton’s are seeking to exploit and deepen rifts in an already divided nation. Even still, none of these are reasons to endorse Barack Obama.

You should endorse Barack Obama because he is a uniter in the absolute widest sense of the word. It is not simply that he has the potential to unite this nation (that much is quite obvious). Barack Obama has the potential to unite the entire world. As a leader who bravely and wisely opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, and who respects international institutions, he will help to unite America and Europe. As a son of Africa, Obama would have a unique opportunity to form bonds of trust and cooperation between many African nations and the United States. Barack Hussein Obama could even begin to mend the great divide between the West and the Muslim world. By electing a man who grew up with Muslim children, who understands the suffering of Palestinians, a man with the name Hussein, we are sending a strong message to Muslims: Americans do not hate or fear Islam. We simply loath the killers who act in its name.

Al Gore, you must endorse Barack Obama, because this is our moment. This is a turning point in history, and Barack Obama is the leader that is destined to take us to the future. Years from now, our school curriculums will have undergone a change. In addition to learning about FDR, JFK, and MLK, children in the future will be taught about BHO. That is why you must endorse Barack Obama for President in 2008.

Sincerely,
America
