Obama, Biden are golden ticket

As an American I'm extremely thrilled and proud of Barack Obama's sound judgment in selecting Joe Biden as his running mate. Joe Biden has a powerful meaningful personal story. He is dedicated to the concerns of the "average working middle class families"... from a middle class Catholic family who has never owned a home in Washington, D.C. In fact, he takes the train home to his wife and family in Delaware every night. He has never tried to get rich from his role; he genuinely wants to serve.

We must once again become a nation with honor, go back to governing according to our constitution, bring back good paying jobs for people who just want to support their families and live in a decent home, have affordable health care and medications for everyone, and to have other countries look at us with admiration and trust once again.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are America's gold ticket that will provide the U.S. with a new meaningful dialogue with world leaders and will improve America's standing with our allies and the global community. I've seen a lot of empty rhetoric from politicians but Barack and Joe are the real deal.

What a joy it is to see a presidential ticket with such a grasp on what it is like to be a "regular person" and at the same time relate to our global neighbors.
