There has been so much divisive speech in politics in the past couple of weeks where attacks have gone beyond the presidential candidates themselves and have been targeted at Americans, U.S. Congress Members, and even areas of the country itself.  Even the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee herself has encouraged the division through recent comments she has made about pro-America parts of the country.

When I saw this clip of Senator Barack Obama addressing this mentality being expressed, I have to say I was moved to tears.  What a welcome contrast and an attitude I’m sure the entire world would embrace with us.

If you’re actually deciding who to vote for based on taxes — you’ll be interested to try out this tax calculator the Obama campaign just put out:

Pretty cool huh? Leave a comment and let me know how you fared!

As for me… Looks like we’d get $1000 from Obama and $967 from McCain. But my vote truthfully isn’t hinged on that anyway. I’d vote for Obama over McCain even if my taxes doubled.

Edited: Actually will save $1800 based on the calculator on their website which includes the amount you owe on your mortgage… click the red button that says ‘CLICK HERE to view full calculator’ to hop over to their site and get a more accurate estimate…
