I've always voted Democratic but I never really paid attention to politics until Barack Obama came along.

I'm not sure if I can put into words about the man but articulate, compassionate, and quick-witted comes to mind for me.

I don't have anything against our other Democratic Presidents or Democratic Congress but there's something about him that stands out for me...not sure if I could ever be able to put into words.
