Charles Mathias,Jr.: My Choice: Obama

Republican representative in the House, 1961-68 and Senator of Maryland in 1969 to 1986 published his reasoning in the Washington Post,Oct.28,08 page A17:

"Americans will face a momentous choice. We must decide which of two talented, patriotic individuals is better suited to set the course for the nation and steer it through a stormy sea.

My decision is based on the long range needs of our country and which of these two candidates I feel is better suited to recharge America's economic health, restore its prestige abroad and inspire anew all people who cherish freedom and equality. For me, that person is Barrack Obama. I believe that Obama's inspirational leadership, contemplative nature and well-reasoned, forward-looking policies offer our troubled nation a real opportunity to face and overcome its many challenges at home and abroad. The fact that he is also a black American adds special significance for me as someone who was witness to and particiopated in at least a part of the past century's discourse on civil rights." www.washpost.com for details.

Phoenix TV showed the survey that folks in China prefer Obama as the next president of the United States by coincidence or serendipity. Let us wait for the election result on Nov. 4, 2008. Here is another chapter of Sino-American Economics.(sic)

Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao, an Asian American of Chinese ancestry. I share the spirit of Civil Rights Act for all Americans to have equal opportunity to make contributions without discrimination such as race,color,age or national origin et al. Such legal rights are specifically stated in the Constitution of the United States,Amendment XIV. "Citizenship Rights not to be abridged." Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

The case rests here for readers to ponder and reflect the Spirit of America with our own spirituality as homosapiens on earth.
