We have to be grateful to Hillary too. She fought a hard campaign and was so very gracious giving this beautiful gift to Barack. She didn't hesitate in grabbing that mike and taking charge in reading the proclamation to nominate Barack. My heart swells with grief, pride and joy simultaneously. We lost a beautiful sister, but gained a beautiful brother. And in gaining that brother, we made leaps of unity.
Right after the Democratic Roll Call and this monumental nomination, what would have the audacity to slap my tearful senses and stop my melting into the floor? McCain's commercial arrived on my television screen, picking on Barack for not taking Hillary as a VP. Can you believe it, I thought? This dark haired girl proclaims, "Now go ahead and vote him (McCain), it's ok, really." And walks off.
So yeah, so let's mirror this, like I keep preachin! "Go ahead, vote Barack, really, it's OK, and EVEN Hillary said it's ok. Really I saw it with my own eyes, it's okay, REALLY!" Then walk off and vote.
Can you imagine what this will do to Shawn Hannity and Rush Limbaugh? Fat guys are having coronary day!
Celebrate! Cheer! Rejoice! I am. :)
Here's a portion of 2 messages I got from McCain's manager: Rick Davis
(warning - they're shaking in their knee boots...you know, the ones they wear to walk thru their own sh@t).
"My opponent broke his pledge to the American people to accept public financing during the general election - a pledge I have kept. The Obama Democrats are raising unprecedented amounts of money. They and their liberal special interest allies - Big Labor, MoveOn.org, Hollywood elites and other left-wing groups - plan to spend nearly $1 BILLION in an effort to mow over Republican candidates with negative and misleading attack ads that will play non-stop across our country's airwaves from now until Election Day (LOL, how many Hillary commercials have they done? I heard today it's FIVE! Carry on!)
- especially in the essential swing states. Despite what the Obama Democrats and the liberal media would have you believe, my campaign and the RNC rely on the generous voluntary contributions of Republican activists like you for the support we need to answer their barrage of assaults with the truth. Our immediate goal is to reach 2 million individual supporters by the night our Convention ends - September 4th.
After naming his running-mate, Senator Joe Biden, our campaign believes Senator Obama will receive a bump in polling numbers after this week's Democratic Convention in Denver. Senator Obama's bump in the polls means we need to re-double our efforts this week as we head into our own Convention starting September 1st. We're focused on electing the man we all know is ready to lead, a man who puts his country before all else, John McCain. (NOT!) That's why I'm asking you to make an immediate donation to our campaign As of September 1st, we'll be limited in the amount of money we can spend to elect John McCain. Senator Obama broke his promise to accept federal funds and will be able to spend WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DEFEAT US. (EXPLAINS WHY THEY'RE WEARING THEIR PUTTING ON THEIR HIP WADERS, THEY'RE GOING TO GET FLOODED!!) Any amount you can give today - up to the legal limit of $2,300 will go a long way. (LOL. THEY AREN'T ASKING FOR $5, $10, BUT SUGGESTING $2,300...YOU KNOW, POCKET CHANGE!!! THEY JUST DON'T GET IT, DO THEY??)

Didn't your mom ever teach you respect for others?
BLOW A KISS - NOT A BULLET!!
These guys wanted to assassinate Barack Obama last night.
They want to HURT...
THESE PEOPLE!
I think we can end this thing, here and now! She's going to be the highlight of this whole convention. SHE DELIVERED. She's gorgeous inside and out. She's already brought my tears and humbled me and inspired me. Today as I ironed, I thought about how she seemed...well, I thought cold, but that's not it, then I thought strong or unfriendly, but no, that's not it! After watching the documentary tonight, it answered that question of who she is: she learned from her father to be respectful at all cost. So, she reserved and respectful and graciousness to each person she meets. That's not cold, or unfriendly, it's smart.
She will be someone that little girls aspire to and her two daughters are already off to a good start with this great mama. Her mother should be very honored and proud. I cried when her mom said she looks up to her daughter, my mom just said this very comment to me. This Michelle and Michelle Obama have good mom's.
Wonderful job Michelle. Excellent! You're the bomb. I felt your passion for your man, for working hard and desire to save our country (this poor struggling country and hated country due to the cowboy in the capitol who likes to saber rattle...Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Georgia, but still failed to do Pakistan and find his friend and bro Osama Bin Laden).
Funny too, I posted this way before someone else here, they posted it negatively and I got bumped off and he received more comments, go figure. Maybe I should switch my methods here, people are drawn and love the negativity. Why I'm leaving soon...

Very interesting article coming up from the opinion of a reader who is concerning about the situation in the Caucus. It seems to me finally the American opinion is taking conscientious about GEOPOLITICS and comprehends what the old fashion of politics of the 20th century is gone!
And for the sake and PEACE in this small rock called PLANET a new alignment of POWER will be welcomed soon rather than later.

Superpowers flex muscle, but at what cost?
Earl Beal - Terre Haute, Ind.
In the power politics of international relations, superpower behavior is governed by the concept of geopolitical spheres of influence. When a superpower nation meddles in the internal affairs of another and attempts to exert undue political or economic influence in its perceived sphere, that's when trouble starts.
The trouble started when President Bush pressured Poland and the Czech Republic to establish a missile-defense system in their territories. This policy was then, and continues to be, seen by some as a direct threat to Russia, not to mention Bush's push for democratic reforms in former Soviet Republics still considered vital to Russia's national security interests.
Also, if Russia placed ballistic missiles in Cuba and/or Venezuela, this would constitute a direct threat to the U.S. Washington's hue and cry over such a move would be surpassed only by Bush's hypocrisy when he and his Pentagon took the "dramatic," "brutal" and "disproportionate" measure of invading a sovereign Iraq in 2003. As a result, what do we have?
The hemorrhaging of our national treasure in terms of lives lost.
Thousands of courageous people wounded.
A cost of more than $10 billion a month to finance this fiasco.
5 million Iraqi refugees scattered and without homes.

2 November 2007 protests
On 2 November 2007, tens of thousands of Georgians protested outside the parliament in the capital, Tbilisi, urging President Mikhail Saakashvili to step down. The crowd also called for early parliamentary elections. They accused Saakashvili of heading a corrupt, authoritarian government and wanted him to be ousted democratically.

Lil B loves this guy - two peas in a pod. War mongers!
The 2007 Georgian demonstrations were a SERIES of anti-government protests in Georgia. The demonstrations peaked on November 2, 2007, when 50,000 rallied in downtown Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. People protested against the allegedly corrupt government of president Mikheil Saakashvili.
Shortly afterwards, Mikheil Saakashvili declared a state of emergency Georgia-wide to last for 15 days. As a result, news programs at all the private television stations will be shut down for 15 days. The publicly-funded Georgian Public Broadcasting (GPB) remained the only station allowed to provide news coverage.
On November 8, 2007, President Saakashvili announced a compromise Read More »

While the American media is bluffing about the “Invasion of Georgia” the Bush administration just receive a lap in his face as a consequence of his erroneous and horrendous mishandling of the situation in the Middle East; special remarks on his attitudes an action in the illegal war in Iraq.

He wasn't tapping on the floor in public airline restrooms. Be understanding and sympathetic to his being human. He's agonized enough.
Eliz forgave him, why can't any of us? She's a strong woman to stay with her man. She's as strong as Hillary was too. That doesn't make her bad, just a forgiving woman and loves the one she's committed to. I too forgave my husband for a short time, then gave up and raised 3 children alone. I wasn't so strong or forgiving and my children suffered. Bless her and help her heal from a scared heart. Maybe this outing by media will heal her cancer, she can finally release her pain. It takes balls to admit to infidelity to your spouse and then take kicks from the media. I found out the hard way, I hid in the back seat of the car while my husband drove to the tryst.
Let's support this family for staying together, not let media pound him. Let's break this grip media has on democrats and pound on McCain or pound on Georgia for shooting Russian planes out of the sky, or pound on Bush for holding our troops hostage to a un-winnable war...those should be our real concerns. Refocus...the GOP have, they're laughing their asses off. Read More »

Steve Clemons gives the Barack Obama campaign a good thrashing from the left today for the candidate's willingness to accept the resignation of his Muslim outreach coordinator, Mazen Asbahi. The Wall Street Journal reports that Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, resigned because of questions about his ties to an Illinois-based Imam named Jamal Said who has been accused (though not indicted) of fundraising for Hamas. The two served together for a few weeks on the board of an Islamic investment fund back in 2000. Predictable smug outrage has followed on right-wing blogs.
According to the Journal, the tenuous connection between Asbahi and Said was first noted by the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report, a subscription-only Web site that tracks the international activity of that Islamic party and its supporters. The WSJ says the Report is published by a "Washington think tank," but there doesn't seem to be any author or organizational affiliation mentioned on the site, and a Whois lookup yields no clues.
The Report employs a fairly loose definition of Muslim Brotherhood affiliates that includes fairly mainstream organizations such as the Islamic Society of North America and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Amusingly, recent FP contributors Graham Fuller and Marc Lynch are also described as Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers. As Passport readers know, Lynch has indeed met with senior Brotherhood leaders in Cairo, but they hardly see eye to eye. Fuller's supposed ties are of the six-degrees-of-Mahdi Akef variety.
