Something Amazing


Something amazing happened in St. Louis today. Barack Obama came to St. Louis to campaign and was met with a crowd of 100,000 people. According to The Wall Street Journal, it was the biggest event ever in the U.S. I’m so happy to see so much support for Obama in Missouri and I hope he wins the state in the upcoming election.

When looking at the above image there are many things that awe me. The size of the crowd is the most obvious. I’ve never seen that many people gather in St. Louis. The thing that awes me the most, that I feel a deep down sense of pride and amazement, is the building in the background. That white building with the greenish dome is The Old Court House. It was in that building that over 150 years ago a black man named Dred Scott fought for his right to be a free man. He won his initial freedom, but that was later overturned. Now, 150 years later, the U.S. is seeing its first African-American major party candidate for president. Hopefully this is just the beginning and we will see President Barack Obama. Today was truly a historic day.

Plan for Change

While John McCain and Sarah Palin lie about all of their changes, Barack Obama is sitting back and telling the country what he plans for change. Take a look at his new 2 minute ad. It’s simple, yet powerful. If you are tired of the lies that the Republicans are spewing (and they are lies, the media has called them out on every lie forcing them to change their story), then get involved and help out the Obama campaign. Make calls, pass out literature, or donate. Do whatever it takes.

Don’t Believe the Lies

I’m very tired of seeing all these ads and one-liners in the press about how Obama and the Democrats are tax and spend and will raise your taxes. If you would look at the tax plans for both candidates, it’s clear that Obama’s benefits 90% of Americans where as McCain’s favors the richest of the rich. He still believes in the trickle-down theory of economics, which has been disproved over and over. Just look at the last 8 years. Those are the same tax policies that Bush implemented. McCain even talks about how Palin stands up to wasteful spending, yet hired a lobbyist to get millions of dollars in earmarks for her town, some that even John McCain opposed in the Senate. She claims she was against the infamous “bridge to nowhere” yet she was for it, accepted money for it, before she was against it. She secured money for a multi-million sports complex when her town didn’t even have proper sewage treatments. On top of that, the complex went well over budget and the people of her town wound up paying more and more for it. That, my friends, is tax and spend. Don’t believe the lies put out by Rove and the Republican party.

I would also like to ask you all to donate to the Obama campaign. If you really want real change, you need to fight back against the smears and lies put out by the campaign. Unfortunately, the most successful way to do this is via TV ads, which costs a lot of money. So, whatever you can give to the campaign, $5, $10, $100, whatever you can, please donate. Be a part of history.

Obama in My Cube

The Obama Action Figure brightens up any work cubicle

Yes, I got an Obama action figure from Jailbreak Toys. Now I think I need a McCain figure for Obama to beat up on. But then I’d have to spend money on something McCain, and to be honest, he is not worth a dime.

Fox News is Racist

fox_racism

I really don’t understand how the American public is letting Fox news get away with their smearing of Obama.  People on the channel have called him Osama, equated his fist-touch with his wife as a terrorist gesture, said he’s Muslim, and are now being completely racist by calling his wife, yes, wife his baby mama.  This is not only disrespecting her, but also their two children. The slang term baby mama refers to a woman who is the mother of a child by a man who is not married to her and has no intentions of marriage.  That is not the Obama family in the least.  Don Imus didn’t get away with calling basketball players “nappy-headed hoes,” and rightfully so, so why should Fox News (and I use the term news lightly) get away with things like this?  You know that if someone on the left said something about Bush or McCain there would be a demand for an apology and that person would be fired or would resign.  What if the left started putting up images questioning McCain’s mental health (the very thing that Bush did in the 2000 primaries to defeat McCain)?

The American public needs to finally speak out against Fox and their propaganda machine.  If they keep going unchecked they will keep making up lie after lie.
