Barrack Obama

I watched Barrack Obama accept the Democratic Nomination last night and I've gotta say, it was something else! 

I have a great interest in politics but cannot stand to watch the regular CNN crap that is usually on—I find it incredibly boring. I do however, enjoy watching these great political moments and last night was the most historical political event of my lifetime.

His speech was fantastic and he gave great hope to the American people. But the thing that gave me the most hope was the people. The stadium was filled with over 100, 000 people and that many people with that much hope is a powerful thing alone. You could see the hope in their eyes—that this man was something that they needed and had been a long time coming. Many people were also crying. These people are very aware of the current state of their country.

The current administration has single handedly destroyed the economy and as well are destroying the earth. They are only out for personal gain as well as that of the special interest groups. 

I am Canadian, and many other Canadians I know, don't pay attention to American politics. They say that it doesn't effect them. I disagree, I think it has an enormous effect on us. We are their neighbors and our economies are so tightly intertwined. This is why I am rooting for Barrack Obama. I think he will do, not only, his country a great service but the entire world will benefit from his leadership as President of the United States of America. 

Barrack Obama isn't going to do it all (no one can). But he is going to help the people help themselves which I think is the greatest thing he can give them.

Hands

I can't draw hands. I never could. They always make my illustrations look as though the character has some sort of physical disability. To compensate that lack of ability, I usually tend to draw some sort of lumpy mitten.
