Why did I vote for President Barack Hussein Obama II? It wasn't because he knew how to read well and sounded eloquent on the stage, though this was a very proud change from the last eight years. It wasn't because he had written two books, though this too was something to be proud of, his words in Audacity of Hope truly resonated with me. I didn't vote for him because of his ethnicity, or how he was perceived by the Pop-Life crowd. I voted for Barack Obama in 2008 because I read his platform, and found it to be in common with his book, and his words, which were ... well, truly very eloquent. However, as an aspiring critical thinker I follow no party or ideology without reservation. My vote must be earned, again, and again, and again. For every vote I consider the past actions of the candidate and what the candidate intends for myself, my family, my community, my state, my nation, and yes the world. Over the course of Barack Obama's Presidency I have been truly astounded by what he has been able to achieve, despite the abject obstruction of today's GOP, which actively wages a social war on America, shameless and arrogant in their position and perspective. I am proud of this President and his record. This book is at times raw and unvarnished, a personal perspective and journey. It is also a legacy for my family, a commemoration of my trip to President Obama's Inauguration. However, it also serves as a clear and concise explanation of why I, an everyday common American who aspires daily to be better than he was before, voted for this President, and why now, at this moment in 2012, President Barack Hussein Obama II continues to earn my vote without equivocation.
