It's official, I have endorsed Obama for President!

Well, it's official. I have joined the ranks of a growing number of felines who support Obama for President! You can see me on the official Cats for Obama Web site at the link: www.catsforobama.com Web site. You have to scroll down a little and then you will see me in along with the caption: Robert William Claire, a 7-year-old Manx, has endorsed Obama for President. I was still 7 when I officially endorsed him. I just turned 8 this summer so the caption is a little bit outdated.

We all know about the polar bears, of course, but most people don't realize how many other large mammals are in danger as well ... Sumatran orangutans, red colobus monkeys, Conservative Republicans ... a lot of marginal species whose populations have been steadily shrinking due to habitat loss, declining populations, and out of date thinking in general are all at risk. The fear (or hope) is that by the middle of an Obama presidency this last group might disappear completely.

Anyway, be sure to check out the site and you'll see several other politically savvy kitties who share my political views ...
