A foreign-born student, on top of that. And a immigrant with a great respect and love for the United States of America. I arrived in the US not too long after September 11, when Bush has one of the highest approval ratings of any president in the history of the US. Now, I live in a country that my international friends despise and fear, and where my American friends are hopeless and angry at the injustice done to the country.

And now we finally have candidates for a new election that could change all of this. But then I read the election news. And I follow the democratic campaigns. And what do I keep seeing? Hillary and her back-alley-fighting campaign smearing Obama’s name on every occasion they can.

Seriously. If Obama doesn’t win, I’m leaving for greener pastures.
