It’s better at the Mountain Top

I’m too young to have seen Dr. in person or on live TV but I cant help but to remember those words that I memorized in civics class. The words of a man whose time on this earth would end sooner then anyone could have known, have without a doubt come true today. I just finished watching coverage of our new president. And to tell you the truth I still can’t believe it happened. I keep slapping myself. Daily!

I think. No! I know today I saw history made. So often we see history in the making, but its often history of times we would rather forget. It is sadly so rare to see history change for the better good of mankind, for the betterment of our own better angels.

All I can saw is I look forward to seeing more history being made and to having the right to blog about it right here.

Note to Al Qaeda.... You Can't be an Uncle Tom When you Own the House

I saw a curious breaking news article on the internet a few hours ago. It appears that Al Qaeda’s number two official has called President-Elect Barack Obama a “House Negro”. I think Al Qaeda needs to hire a media relations expert. Because the last time I checked you can’t be a house negro when you are the (soon to be) master of the freaking house!

What's Past Is Prologue

A wise President once made that statement. If you have read this blog you know which side of the fence I’m on, I don’t hide it. And I’m not here to beg for last minute votes for Barack Obama. And I’m not here to gloat, because to tell you the truth I’m not even sure if we are going to get it this time.

It has been a hard election cycle to say the least. It would be a double loss for Obama if he lost this one. I was sad to hear this his grandmother (the woman who raised him) has died before she could see this improbable journey come to pass.

All I can say is that I do not regret one second of the work I was involved in with the Obama campaign. In fact I would like to say that I admire the work that McCain staffers have done, even thought I don’t agree with them. They have however taken a stand for something.

It’s a growing problem in this country, even more for young people, who don’t seem to take a stand on anything. As Terence Mann, character in the famous Iowa filmed movie Field of Dreams said “a passion is still a passion” no matter what it is.

I know I’m going to catch fire for this but the truth is that at times I wanted to disown my county because of its totalitarian policies created under George Bush. But that changed one day in 2004 I met a man running for senate named Barack Obama. I didn’t know that he would run for president so soon after his election to the senate. However like Kennedy also a junior senator and a catholic (a double minority). Once said “Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.” I believe this journey will not be easy, nor should it be. But right now I must put away any petty prejudice I have and be a stronger man.

It’s two hours until the polls open and I’m ready for change.

Make Dreams Come True.....

He Won Iowa…… Remember?

It seems that most of the media outlets are saying the same thing. Obama? He has the election in the bag. But he wont win, because white folk are going to vote for McCain even though they claim when asked that they support Obama.

Do you buy that? Most of the people I know (who are white) speak their mind. The other day here in my small Iowa town, I can truthfully say that Obama signs out number McCain signs 5 to 1. Are all these people simply afraid of being called a hate monger?

Are white folk in the closet? Because I have to tell you, if that is true then we have some very passionate people working day and night for Obama. Are they hiding their hate?

Just remember that Obama Won Iowa. Iowa! that’s pretty damn white.

GOP Works Overtime to Slander Obama Over Muslim Mishap

Sunday while on an ABC morning talk show Obama was discussing his Christian faith. While doing so he said that many in the right wing calmed and still claim that he is a Muslim. While on the subject he said the phrase “my Muslim faith” clearly an accident, Obama immediately corrected himself saying “my Christian faith”.

It’s sad that republicans have to stoop to editing footage they know without a doubt is false and portray it as fact. Below is a video which has not been edited down to 10 seconds, view it, send it to your friends and stop the lies.

McCain Fails to Beat Obama’s Convention ratings

John McCain failed at all odds to beat Barack Obama’s record breaking 40 million viewers of his acceptance speech, which received more viewers then the last American Idol final. But did John McCain do himself a disservice as well?

John McCain seemed to come across as a wounded warrior, failing his que to introduce his running mate Sarah Palin. But less important he came off as smug, even arrogant. Telling supporters that he is not running because he feels he must make history, a clear remark made at Obama.

Commentators agree last nights speech was an “ok speech” most would agree that McCain is not a great speaker. However people hoping to find substance were left with little more then an ailing preacher singing to his choir.
