The Next President and Wife,  Vice President and wife Of The United States Of America.....who cares what the media say

Texas. Rep. Ron Paul kicked off his political action group Campaign for Liberty at Tuesday's rally.

Paul, who said he entered the presidential race reluctantly, told the roaring audience, "I lost my skepticism. I hope you lost your apathy."

As the congressman stepped on stage, red, white and blue confetti fell from the ceiling during a two-minute standing ovation.

Paul said he entered the presidential race not because of what he wanted to do but because of what he did not want to do.

"I did not want to run people's lives. I did not want to run the economy and I did not want to run the world. I didn't have the authority to do it, and I didn't have the Constitution behind me to do it," said Paul, who has served in the House of Representatives for more than 30 year

TALK ABOUT UNITY>>>>> 

While Sen. Barack Obama’s stop in Milwaukee was supposed to be a rally to cap off Laborfest, the presidential nominee instead focused his speech on Hurricane Gustav, asking the audience to pray for the victims of the storm and to donate to the American Red Cross.

“What makes us great is that we rise and fall as one nation,” he said. “The spirit that we extend today and in the days to come . . . that’s a spirit we’ve got to carry with us every day.”

He spoke before an estimated 15,000 people at the Marcus Amphitheater.

This visit is Obama’s second to the state in nine days and falls on the first day of the Republican National Convention in neighboring Minnesota, which was scaled back in deference to the situation in the Gulf Coast.

One question do we want 4 more years of this?

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.

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.

Former aides to Sen. Hillary Clinton say those who switched their support to Sen. Barack Obama may be on the outs.

"So today, I am standing with Sen. Obama to say, 'yes we can!' " Clinton said on Saturday.

Yes, Clinton can support Obama in his race for the presidency. But as for the former Clinton supporters who switched sides, forgiving and forgetting might not come that easily.

The New York Times reported that some Clinton loyalists have been keeping tabs on those who have crossed the Clintons.

But CNN contributor and longtime Clinton backer James Carville told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that article is "laughable."

"It's a very silly piece ... There really wasn't a list ... It's laughable. I talked to a lot of people in Clinton land today and they're not even sure what the point of the story was," he said.

One former Clinton adviser, however, said there's no doubt some have forever burned bridges with the power couple

"I think it would be wrong to say that the Clintons would have an enemies list in the Nixonian sense. They do have long memories, but I don't think they have long knives after the people who broke with them," said David Gergen, CNN senior political analyst.

Former Clinton aide Lanny Davis is one such loyal Clinton supporter with a long memory.

"I certainly know that I will never forget ... I can always forgive but I won't forget, as President Kennedy once said," Davis said.

Davis said he's not upset that some former Clinton supporters endorsed Obama. He said he's upset because he thinks they violated what he calls a fundamental rule of life.

"You don't trash publicly somebody who's been good to you. Period. And that is why Bill Richardson is the No. 1 person whose name evokes the most anger in me," he said.

Former Clinton administration official Richardson said he knows the Clintons have been unhappy with him since he endorsed Obama -- and he's not the only one thought to be on the outs.

The New York Times said several Kennedys won't be in good graces, along with some members of the media, like NBC's Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, and Vanity Fair's Todd Purdam, who drew ire from Bill Clinton for his recent profile of the former president.

So what does it mean? Most likely cold shoulders and no favors.

According the new survey out by Gallup, Obama now holds a 6 point lead over McCain among women over 50 nationwide, 47 to 41 percent. That compares to a 3 point lead (46 to 43 percent) McCain held over Obama in a similar poll taken last week just days before Hillary Clinton conceded the nomination.

Hillary Clinton is out of the race for president, but she’s not out of the red. Far from it. In fact, it’s believed Clinton has the largest presidential campaign debt in history. Recent filings show Senator Clinton loaned her campaign $11.4 million of her own money, and she also owes vendors about $9.5 million. That’s at least $20 million. Other wealthier candidates, like Mitt Romney, have loaned themselves more money… but they don’t always plan on getting it back. Clinton also has to deal with both the personal loan and the unpaid bills. One campaign finance lawyer tells the New York Times that Clinton’s debt is “unprecedented.” Other candidates who have lost have owed less than half the amount she owes to businesses. So what exactly are Clinton’s options? The good news for her is her campaign says it’s raised about $1 million since the final primaries last week. That suggests some supporters may be committed enough to help out with her bills. The other possibility floated around is for Barack Obama to pitch in. Although campaign finance laws prohibit him from transferring money from his campaign to hers… his campaign could ask supporters to chip in or he could hold fund-raisers on her behalf. But not everyone is sure this is the way to go. Some Obama fund-raisers say it will be tough to help out Clinton because they’re already raising money for Obama and for the DNC. Others say the tensions from the primary race could make it more difficult. But if Obama does help Clinton, it could go a long way toward getting her – and her supporters – on board his run for president.

I going to run for Public Office for the state of Wisconsin in 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I can do it.

fter a weekend of torrential rain, the focus in the Milwaukee area has turned squarely toward cleanup - with officials keeping watch on rapidly rising rivers and following a forecast that so far shows a couple of dry days ahead. Gov. Jim Doyle has declared a state of emergency for Walworth County, bringing to 30 the number of counties on the list. The governor and local officials are to tour flood-damage in the Milwaukee area early this afternoon, including in the Oak Creek area. Some of the more severe flooding appeared to be in Waukesha, where officials declared their own state of emergency and shut down several bridges downtown over the Fox River, where officials said water levels were at a 35-year high. Officials have also closed a third bridge that crosses the river on the south side of town. All of the roads that lead to W. Main St., the main thoroughfare through the central shopping district, are closed to vehicular traffic. Many roads that are next to the river from Frame Park to the Fox River Parkway South are flooded, Police Capt. Mark Stigler reported. A host of other streets and intersections are closed in the area, with authorities urging drivers to use caution. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service reported that essentially all major rivers in the state are at or near flood-stage. Among them: the Rock, Fox, Wisconsin and Milwaukee rivers.

THIS IS HERE IN WISCONSIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we want 4 more years of this????
