I am a white, straight male who is in better circumstances than most....

....and I was PROUD to cast my ballot a few weeks ago for President Obama and VP Biden. There was no hesitation about either of them being a "lesser evil".

Bill Clinton is still my favorite president of this lifetime, but Mr. Obama is a very close second and I look forward to a win on Tuesday, and an even better second term!

And I am in the same situation.
Though I do not like Clinton, and I have my problems with Obama, he's damn side better than the alternative.

FDR is my favorite president. Nobody ever came close to him. Maybe Johnson came the closest, but it's a long way to get to FDR in my book.

I'm a straight middle aged white guy who drives a muscle car, for Obama.

I bought the GM Chevy Camaro, inspired by Obama.
