Find out how Eric Benet really feels about Barack Obama!

It’s interesting because I am a pretty mature man and I have seen quite a few administrations in my life time and I’ve seen a lot of presidential campaigns. I’ve had the opportunity to actually meet senator, future president Obama and it’s interesting because he doesn’t talk like a politician he talks like a visionary. He talks like a person who has a plan for this vision.  And for me, it’s no just talk, part of it is from the opportunity that I had to meet him, it’s like this inspirational authentic feeling I got while meeting him. He really, really believes in the best of us, instead of working against the people, he can help us come together as a country. And we are, buried underneath all the bullshit and the rhetoric, a great nation caught up in crazy policies that are all about big business and huge lobbyists and all these interests that have everything to do but what’s best for the people.  It’s very easy for a person to loose faith in this country but I haven’t lost faith in this country and one of the things that is so inspiring about Barack Obama it is clearly evident that not only he hasn’t given up on this country but the has a realistic plan which won’t be easy because the person who has been in the white house for the past 8yrs has put us in a position that is embarrassing which is crippling.  As a world traveler I completely understand Michelle Obama’s statement about ‘I can’t remember the last time I was proud of this country.’ Because people in other countries are like ‘wow man, you Americans, what are y’all on?’ I think this is man can once again lead this country to be a leader in the world.  I am very passionate about Mr. Obama and am most emphatically looking forward to his leadership.
