Not to fly my flag of support too high but, I came across this video and found it to be very informative. Obama talks about some issues and policies that I feel would be a great improvement to Washington.
Check it out and by the way it is 22 minutes long.
What he proposes I feel would begin to address some of the major flaws that currently exist within your government. Lobbyist, special interests, No Bid contracts, wasteful government spending, and unchecked/balanced transfer of powers with into the government branches are just some of these issues. There are many that would come to light once these have been addressed.
Unless we the people start to take an active role in how our government operates and stop viewing it as a commodity. These flaws will continue to grow and consume anything that doesn't support them. We've seen it before and we're seeing it again.
So again the rally call goes out, "We Want Change! We Want Reform! We Want Something Better!" and I hope this time we can get it.
To be fair, I was looking for a video of John McCain's plan but was unable to find it if you know where it may be please let me know. No sense making a decision without hearing what the other side has to say.

Obama's plan seems pretty good, I will agree with that (no surprise coming from me).
You mention taking an active role in Government; one thing that I find extremely attractive about the Obama campaign is that they are big supporters of the concept of Transparent Government.
Most people couldn't care less what goes on in the halls of congress, as long as they can still get their Krispy Kremes. Some of us do, though, and it would be amazing if there was an independent open source 'feed' of what laws are being passed, and what they are meant to do, in layman's terms.
I can assure you, I would subscribe to that RSS.
