With age comes wisdom. Helen's older, so I trust her more than McCain. Helen for President! :)

What a sweetie. My mother is 89 and everyone in her retirement community is voting for Obama and Biden. They are sick of the last 8 years...they were the GReatest Generation and they feel great pride in America, and are sickened by the course this country took under Bush, and will continue with McCain and Hockey Mom. Take a look at Obama's platform...it's time for us all to be proud Americans again. I feel the dark night of Bush and Cheney is almost over...time to celebrate America.
