Amy, so true....
Can't wait for Obama's 1/2 hour tonight..... did you hear McPalin's latest pathetic statement? Now Obama has been found to pal around with the PLO. They are bordering on ridiculous at this point. Can you say desperate????
Love the new Obama ad.....no talking in it, just McSame's face and subtitles where he says he is basically clueless on the economy.....BUT...not to worry...whoever he chooses to run with him will have the economic experience he lacks...cut to a picture of Palin, WINKING!!!!!! Loved it!!!!
By the way, Palin is in trouble again for charging the State of Alaska $21K for her kids' travel expenses. Apparently she went back and changed the expense reports to say "first family business" when this came to light.....
-
blue- Palin is a crook, plain and simple. She charged Alaska a per diem to live at her own house.
I loved Barack's election special

oops, I hit enter too soon! I thought it was very well done and showed Barack's priorities, with real people illustrating financial needs in the country and some of the problems of the middle class. The live part at the end was electrifying, I'm not sure if they're doing it live in all time zones. If they are, West Coast people get Obama and Bill Clinton for their broadcast. I doubt the other side is going to have watched with an open mind and heart. I don't think most of them will get the point. When the older woman with arthritis was trying to straighten out her fingers while her 72 yo husband was going off to Wal-mart to work because he can't afford to live on his retirement, which was lost when he retired, I was really touched, Call it socialism, marxism or communism, but we can'tbail outt big business while not caring for the people on main street. Those who prosper in good times need to pay what they were paying before Bush's temporary tax cuts. That's not raising taxes, but rolling back temporary cuts in what was one of the most foolish economic things done by a president during a time of war.

How about this new one the right wing is pulling in Virgina...sending out bogus forms that say Repubs vote on 11/4 and Dems on 11/5. I think we have to be very vigilant now. They are so far behind and will stoop as low as they can. It's happened before. Keep an eye out for each other..and again...if you can....VOTE EARLY!!!!!!!!! We are almost there!!!
-
OMG- Palin reportedly has said she expects to be on the scene for the 2012 presidential campaign if she and McCain don't win. She said she hasn't done all of this for nothing. Nice of her to do this before she loses....
g- Liddy Dole has an ad out calling her opponent an atheist with a woman's voice shouting 'there is no god" making it sound like her female opponent.
-
hey nic- did you vote?????
btw- Joe the plumber now has a publicist, and is trying to make a country-western album. you can't make this stuff up. Big surprise, he's a racist too. He's a moron, even Faux news pointed out his stupidity.
-
okay...did anybody else get tears in their eyes? did anybody else feel so connected across the country? a REAL american moment...
for me. the first time i felt sooo connected in a looong time.
feelings of hope and better are a wonderful thing. it has been a long time, too long, that i have been able to see a chance for ourselves and our families.
we are going to do this ladies...we are almost there.

Amy...I haven't seen it yet. 2 more hours.
You know what I think about the right, they claim to be so god fearing, and so religious, but they have a huge problem with sharing anything! Or helping anyone. It makes no sense. And I am so tired of it. And so tired of listening to their hypocritical holier than thou talk. How about less talk and more action? How about they stop slamming us for being caring humans when they only say they are. I'm just sick of all of that. They really should just admit that it's all about the almighty dollar to them. They have the nerve to back these people that are just in it for the money and break every ethic code and law, and no repercussions. Again..I guess it just matters if you go to church on Sunday and say you were wrong. You're good to go again and steal from people on Monday and ignore basic human rights. Just my thoughts.
-
g- I totally agree with you. Some of the most vile words are the ones who try to shove their religion around like it's something to be proud of. I just shake me head and think what a bad name they are giving their religion and what poor representatives they are for their faith.
-
I enjoyed the special tonight. I didn't see anything particularly new, but that's because I am a political junkie and have followed every single tidbit of the campaign. Still - I am so inspired and hopeful and looking forward to next Wednesday morning!
I am so sick and tired of McCain and Palin trying to pretend that Obama might secretly be a terrorist. They know better, but they want to prey on the ignorance of their racist base. Drives me nuts that the fringe wing-nutters don't realize how pathetic and stupid they are and how they are being played -- just like Bush did in 2004 with all the "anti-gay Marriage" referendums and the constant "terror alert" changes in the days leading up to the election.
Only 144 more hours (or someting like that!)
-
What a wonderful special tonight. Obama is what our country needs so desparately right now. I loved that he was able to get his message across without once sinking to the level of the McSame campaign. I am so sick and tired of the hate mongering that the M/P camp keeps pushing. Can't people see how they are trying to divide our country rather than unifying it? How in the world can M/P supporters embrace the hate? How much more mud can they sling?
The only things that can derail Obama now is voter fraud - and didn't we see how well the Republican camp worked that out in 2000 and of course the ignorance of prejudism. We unfortunately have many people afraid of electing a black man to the highest office - racists have small closed minds that are fermented with ignorance and those people cannot be changed - we can only hope that their numbers are not too large.
I loved that he asked us to join in after the election to help rebuild our country - I can't remember any other candidate with the ability to electrify us the way this man does since JFK.
We can only fervently hope that this man can be given the chance to lead...........

Wow..I watched it and had a similar reaction to your's, Laura! It was awesome!! Donna, I to am a political junkie, but I just feel so much from Barack and he is so honest and down to earth, I just get very lifted up by watching him! And what about that term "I am my brother's keeper?" Does the right know what that means? Do they have a clue? Isn't that preached in their church's and in their bibles? The troll's reaction to this, well, first of all, he can't even imagine how to reach mass amounts of people in 2008 and I think is upset his team didn't think of this. But he had the nerve to say something to the fact of "at least he woun't interrupt the ball game." Yeah..I'm sure they would all much rather we be even further dumbed down by the TV and pay no attention to that man behind the curtain and to what is going on around us! Well to bad. Because we are..and we are not going to take it anymore!!!!
OBAMA '08....it's almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
WellWater...."well" said!! :-)
-
little gggggggggggggggg <vbg> - "I am my brother's keeper?" Does the right know what that means? Do they have a clue?
Its okay, Barack will still watch out for them...We are not the left or the right we are the United States...:)
I AM my brothers keeper. I AM my Sisters keeper.
Loved it...LOVED IT!
The Rally was great too. Reminded us of the better times we had and the OPPORTUNITY ahead.
Obama '08 gets closer everyday! wooooooooooooohooooooooooooo!
-
Laura...you're right. We are all in this together. Back on track and in focus. We all need to move forward. It will happen!!! Thanks for your post!! Sometimes the hypocrisy of it all gets to me and I just don't get it. I do know we will do this and there will be much opportunity for all of us! Thanks for the lift!!

OBAMA '08...it's almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get to see the whole thing and I missed the rally with Obama and Clinton afterwards! I try to catch up on the news when I get home from work. Hoping they will show reruns. Amy I never did get to vote early yet. I'm getting home from work too late everyday. I already have permission to go to work late on Election Day.
I did hear the McCain gave money to the same guy (PLO) Palin named. She is so stupid! Guess she thinks she is the chosen one! Back in 4 years? I think not. I don't think the Republican party to make the same mistake twice.

Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Barack could run.
Barack ran so the children could fly.

TNT- that's absolutely beautiful!
Clinton/Obama- very good, very very good.

"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.

TNT, that is great. did you write that???

od Morning Everyone!
I thought the Obama presentation was brilliant. It wan't about him at all...it was about average folks like us...which is what we need from our next leader. Someone to look out for US......It was well done and very on message.
I watched the news afterward (and flipped through a half dozen stations) to get the gist of what the reaction was. Pretty much everyone said the same thing....on message....how he is going to help us. Not ONE attack on the opposition. In response to the question..."how does McSame follow this up....someone (I forget who) said..."well, I guess he could have taken the next half hour slot....."
By the way...that fool Palin needs to check her facts before she goes spouting off about Obama "paling around with a member of the PLO".... McSame gave the same guy a half million bucks.....
Last but not least... I thought we were past "Joe the Plumber" once "Tito the Builder" was introduced....but no... the guy is trying to get a book deal, a country music contract and has hired a publicist. He is dumber than a freakin' stump and this is what McPalin has out there to represent their interest and beg for votes. Some MORON in the FL audience made some comment about "if Obama gets elected, it will be the end of Israel" (or something to that effect) and the moron said, I'll go with you on that one.... THEN... the MORON (who was not shown on camera) is heard to say, "I want to shake your hand sir"..... OMG....what is WRONG with these people....he sounded like a shill for Hannity (the FAUX NEWS gas bag)....where anyone and EVERYONE who agrees with his is "A Great American"...... AHHHHHHHHH!!!
Ok, I can feel my blood pressure going up so I will stop now..... gee, and this started out so calmly....
5 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!

I cannot take credit for the inspiring verse. It was said by a man participating in a workers training program who was part of an NPR interview in St. Louis, while discussing the significance of an Obama presidency. The reporter was on the trail along the Mississippi in Missouri , a state which has the distinction of picking the presidential winner for all elections in the last 100 years, except one.
And I don't think he was the originator, as his lead before he recited it was, "it's been said...."
-
blue- Obama never mentioned McCain/Palin in his documentary presentation. It was all about us and why his plan is going to help us. You sure called ""Sam the guy who takes jobs away from union plumbers" right. We haven't even broach the subject of the McCain campaign imploding with staffers calling Palin a "diva" and a "whack job". LOL. I wonder what took them so long.

This Obama buddying with the PLO is getting out of hand. I made the mistake of opening an email from a friend who's die-hard repub, and it was full of vitriol about this. I normally don't even open that stuff, knowing it's crap, much less reply, but I've had it with lies.
McCain gave half a million to this guy's group. C'mon.
And, this particular email had a picture (horror!) of Obama holding the book (horror, he reads!) The Post American World. Well, has anyone read this book, or perhaps even a review? It's not anti-American, it's about how we may not be able to dictate to the world anymore, but we can still be leaders.
Grrr. I never should have read that email before my first cup of coffee.
BUT--Bill and Barak made me smile last night. I am so full of HOPE.
Five more days...

For AnneW:
Just in case you do not come back to read my response to your post to me.
AnneW wrote: You persist in saying that we who support Obama, horses asses that we are, will never change our minds and vote for McCain.
Anne, I'm sorry you mistook what I said. I should have used a comma. ShirleyHughes wrote:Rosemary, no matter what we post (facts instead of talking about "the troll" = John McCain) -- words out of the HORSES ASSES mouth, people who are voting for Obama will not change their minds. I was referring to giving Obama supporters quotes or showing you videos that came straight from the horses' mouths. I wan't referring to you being the horse's mouths. We can show you in writing what Obama et al says and it makes no difference. We can post facts about the housing crisis and how it brought down the economy. We can show you proof, from the horses' mouths, and you don't care to see it or acknowledge what we've proven. In fact, I dare say, you don't click on any links that we provide, even videos. You would see what happened if you choose to. We post what Joe Biden said about Obama being tested. I posted the scary part, did you read it? What does it mean to you?Barney, Pelosi, Obama, Dodd, Schumer, et al are the horses I was referring to. Sorry, it was not you or anyone on this board.I hope that clears up what I meant.Shirley -
Maybe troll supporters would like to start up the book ban again. It's very ridiculous the little petty things they keep coming after. I can't imagine if my clients came to my home and decided if I was right to work with based on what books I am reading! This is ludicrous. 5 more days!!!!!!!! Move forward and stay positive!!!!!!!! We are doing this!!
Niki...leave work now and go vote!! :-)
ROCK THE VOTE LADIES!!!!!!! Obama '08...it's almost here!!!!!

G- 5 more days until we take back our country! OUR country, that has changed so much in the past 8 year it's hardly recognizable to us and to the rest of hte world. I have a friend in europe who put off her vacation a few days because she's going to some jungle where they don't have TV/Phone access and she really wants to know before her vacation, She said her country will feel a lot safer with an Obama presidency than they ever did with Bush or would with McCain and I told her I feel the same way about this country. I sent her one of my obama pins.
-
Anne- I've said since before we invaded Iraq against the UN's support that Bush doesn't understand the difference between being citizens of the world and rulers of the world. If we want to be respected leaders, we have to lead by positive example and we have not been doing that for the past 8 years. I've heard of the Post American World. I for one am for a stronger European community, to help keep us in check should we ever be dumb enough to elect a Bush/Cheney type regime again.

Amy...I really can't wait!!! What a LONG 5 day's this is going to be...but the outcome will be President Obama and it will be worth the wait! I can't beleive the troll is bringing up Osama Bin Ladden again. Are you kidding? How long has the troll had to find this guy, how much money has been spent on it, how many of the worlds people are dead over it and he has the nerve to bring that up? And his supporters cheer for it? Why? I'm telling you, I never realized how many closed minded, hypocritical, selfish, mean, angry and greedy people there are until all of this. It is very disheartening. To look for the silver lining in all of it, it has really opened my eyes as to how many of us are out there that are good humans, that do care for each other and about each other. I know that is the majority of us and it has given us all a chance to get together in some way to fix what is wrong. On to a better US!!!!!!! And a better planet!!! Let's just all live by four simple words "Be a good human."

Maya Angelou was on the Today Show, she has a new book out Letter to My Daughter. She is an awesome lady!!! And very uplifting. She never gave birth to a daughter, the book is written for all women. I know I'm going to get it. Someone who is true to her word and beliefs! This is what we need more of!! And of course, our Barack!!
