no its not a sports team, and i cant be thrown out of bars or schools for wearing it, but it is my true color. its my obama trek bike! the one i ride to work every day. look at that beautiful sticker that just happens to match the color of my bike. yep, i was always on the blue team but after the DNC last week i'm estatic to be on the team. i've been doing my part, helping register folks to vote in my neighborhood, phone banking, attending community meetings, supporting the campaign. and voting of course. and it all feels refreshing, empowering and just great. i'm just giddy at the hope of having great leadership with vision and real heart lead our country and turn it around for the future. edits: whaddya know? turns out there's more folks out there like me: www.bikeobama.comlets face it, i mean i'm educated, i have a job, reasonable mortgage, health insurance, car is paid off, but there are days when i'm just this side of the line of failing and losing it all. i'm smart, successful, and i'm middle class and the low side of that too boot which is fine by me. i dont need much more than i have right now in life (okay maybe unlimited access to a mountain cabin). but the point is, i know many others who squeak by like this too. and do i think for a minute that mccain is gonna catch me when i fall? or catch my single mom friends when they fall? or truly take care of my mom in retirement? or provide a way for my young nieces and nephews to get to college? or for that matter even make me feel like i'm a fellow human being (who's not rich) but i matter. no. i dont. will obama? yes. and do i wanna hitch my cart to that wagon of hope, vision, change for the future? yes, i care about my fellow man and our planet and our future b/c thats how i roll. those are my true colors, if ya didnt know it before, ya know it now!
