The Hope of an Obama Voter

College student Molly Sweeney writing in The San Francisco Chronicle explains why she voted for Obama:

Barack Obama gives me hope that when I graduate from college, I will have a job and a place to start my life where I don't have to worry about not having enough money to eat or repay my school debts. Obama understands the importance of my education, and wants to help ensure that I can receive that education, thus bettering myself and bettering America.

Obama wants to make sure that kids aren't starving in our towns and cities; that men, women, children and teenagers have access to health care and don't succumb to treatable illnesses because of lack of health insurance. Obama believes in life lived without fear.

I guess George Bush's giant spending increases on education(the last 8 years) weren't enough to get Molly Sweeney excited about her "future".
