I hope to get a few more of these Daily Doses out but if not I've really enjoyed watching the videos myself and thanks for the kind comments. I've donated as much time as possible to the Obama campaign over the last year or so, somewhat neglecting my photography business but I don't regret one minute.
After this election I'll need to get back to working on the bottom line for my business but with an Obama win on Tuesday I believe this nation will be led by the best person possible in getting it's bottom line back in order over the next 4 or 8 years.
Again thanks for the comments on the video blog posts. I'm with all the rest of the Obama supporters who I know will be doubling down their efforts this final week to not only try to ensure a victor for Barack Obama on November 4th but also a successful day for Congressional elections throughout the nation to give the Obama administration the help and backing they will need from the House and Senate.
The past 7 plus years has been one of the biggest nightmares in American history and in my mind the most disastrous and dangerous administration in our nation's history. In 8 days we have the opportunity to finally begin to wake up from that long nightmare and wake up to the beginning of some of the best days in our nation's history.
Wake up to ending two wars. Wake up to the end of 50 million Americans uninsured. Wake up to the end of warrantless searches of American citizens. Wake up to the end of American involvement in torture. Wake up to the end forever of American initiated wars of choice and wars of so called preemption. Wake up to the end of Americans floating helpless, some dead, in the streets following natural disasters. Wake up to the end of a mindless administration cloaked in secrecy abusing the executive privilege claims to hide their actions. These things MUST NEVER EVER again be allowed to occur in this country.
Fired up and READY TO FINISH! How about you?

Sorry, just had another thought or two I'd like to add. I really believe if elected then in 50 or so years from now Senator Obama will be looked back upon as being one of the best leaders our country and the world has ever had. Someone who came on the national and international scene at such a critical time.
A time which has so many seemingly dismal political leaders. Of course America's leadership in the Executive Branch the past 7 years has been worse than awful. But also worldwide competent leadership seems to have been in a void. Putin in Russia seems to me to be just KGB wanna-be politician. I'm not a big fan of Sarkozy in France. I think Royal would have been a better choice. Hopefully an Obama win could lead to a wave of quality leaders in other nations.
The citizens of the world deserve better political leaders than we've had in recent times. Hopefully in a few days we in America can began to get the kind of leadership we must have to face 21st century problems.
