SANDS: Why I'm voting for Obama

I voted for Barack Obama because I want back my sense of outrage. I have been dulled to this president's despicable ways. I've glossed over articles depicting the deaths of fellow human beings in Iraq. Yawned while looking at the wreckage of car bombs on TV. Felt nothing when Bush vetoed a bill that would have banned waterboarding on prisoners in Guantamo Bay. And it all makes me sick with myself.
