blog.obiefernandez.com — Today's "super Tuesday" is almost a nationwide primary, and is a very important day in America's presidential race. In the small, idealistic hope that I might help sway some of my readers to vote for Barack Obama, here are ten of my personal reasons for supporting Barack Obama as our next president.

Here is a reason not to vote for him. He is dirty and it is going to come up again and again and again:<a class="user" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4111483">http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4111483</a>In sharp contrast to his tough talk about ethics reform in government, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., approached a well-known Illinois political fixer under active federal investigation, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, for "advice" as he sought to find a way to buy a house shortly after being elected to the United States Senate.While Rezko's wife paid the full asking price for the land, Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the house. The house sold for $1,650,000 and the price Rezko's wife paid for the land was $625,000.

At least from the ashes, those who saw and accepted the forewarning will return from the shadows to re-build and better the world for everyone. The most humanitarian act is to live and expose Liberty. Forcing it on others is a paradox defined.

I STILL HAVE YET TO READ A GOOD ONE! Come on People. This is pathetic. So far all I've seen is bickering about who crapped and who's going to clean it up. Where's the SUBSTANCE!? Core problems and solutions please.

People are so refreshed to see a smiley-faced black man whispering sweet nothings into their ears that they forgot all about the criminal war and the fact that Obama supports it.
