Sorry, I'm not feeling the National Enquirer image coming from the other ticket. Calling Barack a terrorist? He's the one working hard in law school and streets of Chicago to help citizens and remember the other tickets pokes FUN of service to poverty. Amazing. The only terrorist I see in government, is the one who avoids their own criminal investigation and belonging to a church that drives people out of town and one that pushes for a pipeline and to pave the way, let all the animals around it, suffer and die. Environmental terrorist. Saying Barack has no military experience yesterday was another point that bites her tail off, she has absolutely no military experience either. Shooting animals isn't military experience. Enough of the ugly vision, let's turn the page to change. Ready? Here's we go, put your seat belt on, let's get safe.
At the convention, Michelle related the story about how Barack gripped the steering wheel of his car and he drove tentatively down the street, protecting his new little newborn daughter. He checked the review mirror frequently to catch a peek just to make sure things were fine.
I trust that Obama checked more than his review mirror on this economy strife and has checked the mirror frequently on other issues as well. I TRUST him fully. He did contact Bill Clinton and others in making his decisions, he keeps informed, and he maintains communication with who he needs to.
Barack gets my vote, for being a: slow, steady, reasonable, intelligent man that is successful at rallying America for CHANGE. He's a uniter, and a man that appears, and acts and WILL emerge as most presidential.
Congratulations to Barack and his family for all the hard work in gaining the electorates needed. We're SIX away. SIX! It touched my heart, when he made a pledge to give his daughters what he had, he's done a great job in moving that direction, not only for his daughters and family, but the human family. He really cares and is concerned. Can you imagine how happy and proud his daughters will be when their daddy becomes the president? Over joyed, so will I. It's going to be a huge relief actually, I'll breath again. He's already completed a mission to lead a beautiful path for his daughters by working so diligently on this campaign.
All Aboard! Calm and Steady as he goes! He's the beacon of light shining through this fog.

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan.
1.Alan Cranston (D-CA)
2.Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
3.John Glenn (D-OH)
4.John McCain (R-AZ)
5.Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)
-----------------------
Alan Cranston (D-CA)
He was reprimanded by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics for "improper conduct" on November 20, 1991 after he accepted $1 million in campaign contributions from the Lincoln Savings head, Charles Keating. Keating had wanted federal regulators to stop "hounding" his savings and loan association. The committee deemed Cranston's misconduct the worst among the Keating Five.

Stevens’ Latest Problem: Supporting Wall Street Donors As Alaskans Face Consequences Of Fiscal Meltdown From a Campaign Money Watch press release
Today Campaign Money Watch, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, criticized Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) for siding with wealthy Wall Street, banking, and insurance industry donors who have given him $595,279 in political donations since 1989 instead of the Alaska voters who are struggling to get by in a troubled economy that is now in the midst of a financial crisis.
http://alaskareport.com/news98/x61635_stevens_fiscal.htm
Ted Stevens helped lay groundwork for current financial crisis
Headlines across the country highlight the troubles of Wall Street and the economy, yet Senator Ted Stevens has been close to Wall Street firms for years.
"Senator Stevens helped lay the groundwork for today's financial crisis. How unfortunate that Stevens is on trial for seven felony counts related to accepting illegal gifts instead of helping fix this mess," said Bethany Lesser, spokeswoman for the Alaska Democratic Party. "Stevens supported wealthy Wall Street banking institutions, the insurance industry, and financial services industry at the expense of Alaska . Alaska families are struggling to get by in a troubled economy that is now in the midst of a financial crisis. We need a new direction that demands accountability from Wall Street and enforces oversight." (There's been an exodus and the media doesn't even talk about it.)

No one in Washington is more closely aligned with the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq than prominent neoconservatives, who for years had regime change in Iraq as a goal as part of their philosophy that the United States shouldn't be reluctant to use its power, both diplomatic and military, to spread democracy and to guarantee world order.
Now, McCain and other politicians who pushed for the invasion are seeking to emphasize the progress, albeit fragile, of the current troop surge in Iraq.
Scheunemann was on board with the Project for the New American Century, whose letter to Bush nine days after the Sept. 11 attacks pointed to Iraq as a possible link to the terrorists.
The letter said American forces must be prepared to support "by all means necessary" the U.S. government's commitment to opponents of Saddam Hussein.
Scheunemann was among the letter's 37 signers, a Who's Who of neoconservative luminaries including William Kristol and Richard Perle.
More military:
The exercises were held less than a month before the outbreak of the 2008 South Ossetia war. Almost concurrently, Russia conducted it's own military exercises in the north Caucasus (including North Ossetia), called Caucasus Frontier 2008. Read More »

I believe that the ultimate showing of how much the country's mood has changed, would be to place within the concerts at Barack's inaugural......The Dixie Chicks!
But, that's just me...........
But, that's just me...........
It would seem to me that the Bush Administration would want to actually do something RIGHT before they actually are FINALLY put out to pasture. But here we go again...give big money MORE big money while at the same time, members of their own party are calling the American people...."whiners"!
If this bailout really is the only way out of this mess, I just believe that a couple of ground rules should be required. Starting with the help that the Democrats are trying to get for the actual homeowners. But I also think that some kind of repayment should be required from the CEO's and the boards of directors at these institutions that caused and profited from this mess.
First, the government should move, maybe under the RICO laws (I obviously am not a lawyer, but I have seen Law & Order), to take possession of all assets built up by these people during the time in question.....meaning the last 6 years or so.
Second, I believe that in addition to 'bailing them out', the government should move to take control of every one of these companies until, if ever, they reach the point of complete solvancy. And in doing so, fire the boards and all corporate officers.....the same ones they have just been required to make repayment by the claiming all of their assets.
This would probably bring most, if not everyone of them, into the midst of us in the MIDDLE CLASS!
And then maybe....just maybe.....they might see the evil of their ways, and start voting DEMOCRATIC when they realize that the only American political party that gives two hoots about them NOW....is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

I may be the only one who had not seen this site, but I found it interesting.
Finally, the media, the American people in general and most American women specifically have finally figured out what most of us have known all along......the 'bounce' for the other ticket went up....and is now on its way down.
Most Americans have known all along that John McCain is such a bad idea and not just because of the 'new' positions he discovered right after George W. Bush pulled an early version of 'swiftboating' of him in 2000. They also are showing some concerns about his age and health. And what is making them start to have concerns about these issues? His ignorant, political choice of Sarah Palin as his VP running-mate.
They looked pretty good together, but then they started to be seen apart. She is a speaker....and he isn't. And it just MAGNIFIES HIS WEAKNESS in this area. She is fairly young.....and he isn't. And it just MAGNIFIES HIS WEAKNESS in THIS area, also.
And THEN, they realize just how empty-headed Palin is.....and how frail John McCain may really get after he takes the most pressure-filled job in the history of the world.....and how if he DIDN'T survive his first term, the most powerful person in the world would all of a sudden be....RUNNER-UP TO MISS ALASKA 1982!!!
Plus, the more we hear from her, the more she sounds like her biggest experience in life WAS her years as a beauty contest participant.
But I feel the best about this. Barack Obama has decided to handle her properly.....IGNOR HER!! Sarah Palin is a major LIGHTWEIGHT!! Why raise her up to YOUR level by acknowledging ANYTHING that she has to say?
And what is the result of this shift in campaign actions and thinking?
A TURN AROUND IN THE POLLS!! Granted, I STILL believe that the polls are fatally flawed this time due to the large number of new, young Obama voters being ignored because they have cell phones and not land lines....AND because their 'models' are flawed because they can't take into account the extremely high numbers of new DEMOCRATIC voters this year.
I always felt the American public, in general anyway, was not going to continue to fall behind McCain/Bush/Cheney/Palin...and would wake up and 'pay attention to the men (and woman) behind the curtain.
But then again....what the hell do I know?????
