GreatNEWS!!! Gov. Richardson gives the nod to Obama - the more this happens the more likely Obama will get nomination... now where is John Edwards....
Or is he waiting until the nominee becomes clear so he can get veep privilege?
eK
Just came back from the Ben affleck / Jennifer Garner event at Rumor nightclub in Boston, MA.
It was a very good event! Well run, and there was a surprise guest.
Sen. John Kerry and his wife.
Talk was about Kerry's time in Pakistan, and India and Afghanistan and Turkey and his message from foreign countries about the hope that Obama becomes president and that the next 4 years is not a repeat of the Bush second term. That to honor our soldiers sacrifice and hard work we need to pull them out of a war that should never have taken place.
jennifer garner looked lovely - and had a very positive message about her hopes for her child, and her country.
Ben told of how there is nobody he sees on the political horizon that can match Obama in his mesage in his hope in his aspirations of making this country great and restoring our international image.
Its funny how on this site you can meet and talk to as many people who want Obama from America as from the rest of teh world.
This is how crucial this man is to our society. People believe that he can undo the decades (with the exception of Bill Clintons hand in the Northern Ireland Peace accord - I was there, it stopped the fighting). But an article I saw today had people scared that since , and I quote "[Obama] was annointed with the spirit of JFK" will he be assassinated by the CIA for the very same reasons.
Considering that the president is commiting war crimes left and right, I dont think the left would be able to do anything if they did. - and this is coming from an Obama supporter...
Just because we want change does not mean the establishment does. In fact they fear change.
Thank you Wyoming!!!
Its really frustrating seeing how deficient in memory we as a nation are, and how much we tolerate. By Clinton's implication that Barack didnt win the big states - so what ? This is not the united states of OHIO, TEXAS, CALI AND New York.
Its the theunited states of america.
Seriously, does the rest of the country not matter?
Why is she so visceral? Why does she try to divide the country along a sexist line?
Because once she is in power, she willl quickly forget those who got her there.
Hi there,
You dont know me, but I am a supporter of Obama like you.

It is a fascinating story that raises many questions, such as: 1. WTF? Does the conservative head of state in Canada really use polysyllabic words? Its been so long since I heard anything like that I'd forgotten what it sounded like. 2. Even more WTF: did the conservative PM just express...shame? Does he actually know what it means to have done wrong and feel compelled to make the victims whole? Even if he doesn't, does he actually think that he has to at least pretend to feel shame? 3. Did the opposition party really get in their face and publicly demand an independent investigation while accusing the PM of intentionally manipulating a foreign election? Did the journalist manage to actually convey this sentiment (!) without editorializing about how the opposition party is a bunch of pansies who can't keep us safe? 4. Did this one journalist really write what is quite possibly the best written national news story in a major paper that I've read in years? I mean, for crying out loud, the American papers of record are busy debating such vital questions as "Women: too stupid to breathe?" and "Women: are voting rights and education wasted on them?".
I was never one for politics, I always found it so polarizing.You were either right or wrong. for or against. in or out. red or blue. That was too black and white for me... Life is more than that, thus politics did not reflect life as I considered it.
But Obama's vision and thorough insight into how unhappy the citizens of this country are is about to change all that.His ability to reach across the aisle and shake hands with republicans, and have them listen to issues that affect them. And in turn he will give an ear to issues republicans that might need his attention.
I was at the convention in Boston, and I thought Obama would take Massachusetts. I felt so disappointed and cheated that people could not see that Clinton does not have the interests of this nation at the fore-front of her mind. She has a point to prove. But she herself does not strike me as someone who wants fundamental groundbreaking and necessary changes that need to take place to wrest the power from the lobbyists and back into the citizens hands.
I liked reading up what you had to say.Its just amazing how the politics of fear that has dominated this country for so long finally appears to have a chance to be removed and a politics of fear, and hope, and forward thinking can dawn upon this great nation once again.
We believe in you OBAMA!!! YES WE CAN!!!LETS TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!!!Lets be proud to be Americans again.
I watched his speech in Texas, how much energy was in that room? How wonderful to see texans wanting change. For the longest time, I painted texans akin to Bush... How wrong I was. The vibrancy in that room. It was like if belief was a fuel, we would no longer be dependent on oil.
I am happy to see Obama's momentum gather strength from the wins in Georgia and Washington State, and on into the potomac states. Such great energy!
Its interesting to see Hillary not congratulate Obama on his wins, and start bad mouthing the wins, like the people there dont matter.
Depending on the Michigan and Florida outcome...PS email howard dean about your outrage that hillary went ahead in these states even though she signed an oath she would not.
If this is how she behaves in the primaries, how would she behave if she were in power?
