I trust this man on a level I have not since I was much younger, before you were born, to care about PEOPLE. I'm trying to keep my head up about it, but I feel so very sad that he has less than 18 months to go. IMO, this country did not deserve him.
He has done all he could for us and others out of humanitarian instinct and I only get glimpses of others that way. They may be good people, good politicians, and all of that. As far as Canada is concerned, if there was any way for me to know what would happen in the 60's and beyond, I would have left the USA.
Now I am too old, no one wants me and I am tied down. So I have to face whatever fate hands me. Obama has made the last few years some of the best years of my life, although things are getting much worse for me.
So I am going to vote, most likely the candidate will be HRC, and I'll vote for her. Or O'Malley. Or whoever. I can't afford to not vote and let the murderous GOP take over. My vote may not stop that happening either.
But I have no choices, neither does my tiny family, if we had, we'd be gone. Obama has done all he could to make it more humane, but in too many ways, it still is.
