Obama’s run for the presidency has shown me that there is no need to bend in fear to negative obstacles, challenges and expectations that others try to impose. |

I think that he comes from a different experience, coming from both white and black [heritage] … He speaks to the breaking down of the tensions and building up of the commonalities we all have. |

One thing: He inspires me as an African American. Secondly, I appreciate his delivery in comparison to Hillary Clinton’s. Her delivery is hateful, bashing her opponents when it’s not really necessary. That affects me. |

For me, he has insight on being biracial. He walked on both sides of the track. So, for me, he inspired me to go out and vote because I wasn’t voting before him. I was discouraged. |
