Okay folks, it's the morning after Obama's speech and what a speech that was!!! I don't know about you, but I have never been so inspired by a politician as Obama. And, I have never seen so many young people inspired as I have in this election year, and it's all because of one man - Obama. 

As a nurse I am very concerned about the 50 million Americans with no health insurance, which many of my friends fall into this category. I am concerned that more and more middle class Americans are losing their health insurance each year. I am concerned that the skyrocketing cost of health care has the working class opting NOT to take their employer's health insurance plan because they are now forced to use that money that would otherwise be put toward their healthcare plan, on food and gas. I am concerned that more and more middle class Americans have "catastrophic" health plans only.

I am concerned about our jobs are going overseas. I am concerned about our national deficit and I am very concerned about the war and our dependence on foreign oil.

I have to admit, I haven't paid much attention to McCain. I would sure appreciate any viewpoints about McCain. What is his stance on healthcare, the economy, the war, drilling for oil? I will definitely listen to the RNC.

It's a beautiful day in the desert!
