Leadership - A discussion of traits, characteristics, and current news of leaders.

Bridget, thanks for writing this. I wish we all would vote based on who we think would do a better job, period.

Wow. Congratulations. I just removed your feed from my reader. You are an idiot. No one is sacrificing what they believe just to have the first black president. Did it occur to you that some people believe in the right to have a say over whether or not they bring a child into this already over populated world, full of unwanted babies? No, probably not. Because you are racist and a total moron. What do you know about leadership? Your blog is a waste of space. Bye bye.

Thank you, Easton, for your comment. I too wish that people would make a choice based on whomever would make a better presidential leader and not get caught up in the rhetoric of it all.

To the reader who thinks I'm an idiot: Thank you! I appreciate your opinion as I'm sure you appreciate mine for what it is - my opinion. I'm sad to see you leave, but I stand by what I believe. If people are so excited to have the (potential) first Black president that they are willing to sacrifice their beliefs for this, then I would say that they are in fact the ones who need to reconsider what they believe in and the choice that they are making. Do I know everything about leadership? Of course not but I am willing to make myself available to learn and to be taught. However, I don't see what it is that I do or do not know about leadership has to do with the political agenda of Barak Obama.

I'm not sure what the debate about pro-choice or pro-life has to do with being Black. Are you saying that Black Christians should not support Obama because he is pro-choice?

Sure there are plenty of Christians who may agree with you but there are also plenty who wouldn't. As a Christian myself, I would not advocate abortion in any way, but I don't want to take away anyone's ability to choose - which is what makes me pro-choice (that does not = pro-abortion). If Christians (Black, White, Asian, whatever) support Obama for being pro-choice, so be it - that really shouldn't be a race issue. Nor do I think being pro-choice makes people less Christian.
