Geeks for Obama

I just realized that Obama is a geek, and that's awesome. This man embodies what I have been striving to be, and the insults thrown at him feel like the insults I got in Jr. High.

Change your Facebook profile Picture to your favorite Obama poster pic

Obama and the Youth Vote

I am the senior class president of Boulder High School in Boulder, Colorado, which is one of the bluest cities/towns in America.

I personally believe that Obama should reach out more to young people to get them more interested in politics and voting. If Mr.
