A Mormon explains why she is voting for Obama:
What I really wanted from the debate was more of the hard truths that Obama seemed to be on the verge of saying:
"This recession is fundamentally different than other recessions, and there are no short-term fixes."
"Our old strategies for managing Middle Eastern conflict through military intervention or propped-up dictators don’t work. And there is no easy way forward."
"The only thing the $3 trillion Iraq war produced for the United States was a mountain of debt and a legion of disabled Americans."
"We need to have a serious discussion about Social Security."
"Debts don’t get paid down without adjustments in revenues."
These are the kind of hard truths that speak to the same part of me that took notice when Obama at his inauguration quoted the Scripture: "It is time to put away childish things" (1 Corinthians 13: 11).
