Enjoy!!!
Why can't she just admit that she LIED!!!??? Really? She "MISSPOKE"...and we are going to be OK with that? When did it become OK to LIE to make yourself look better? I guess this is more of their "We can say anything" mentality. Eventually it is going to catch up to them. Let's not rule out karma and the "what goes around comes around" boomerang.
Are the voters of America really that forgetful? Do we not remember "Travelgate", Whitewater", the Hsu fundraising faux pas, Peter Paul, Lewinski-gate, the Clinton pardons...etc, etc, etc! These are all instances where the Clintons have been caught in a lie! Yet the media is burying this...WHY!!! I don't understand!
It is time to reclaim our government!!! We have been ruled by big business for way too long. We may think we had a say so in the election process, but we have been influenced by the media, the media is influenced by advertising dollars from the corporations, the corporations also pay the lobbyists to influence government officials. It is time for a CHANGE!
VOTE OBAMA 2008!!
I just saw a commercial for Friday's "The View" saying that Barack Obama will be on to discuss his candidacy!! YIPPEEE!!!
This is what we need!!! More main stream coverage that will get to the women of America. Let's face it, the majority of mainstream Americans haven't even seen his speech yet, because they don't watch the news channels. They watch NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, Nickelodean, Disney and Cartoon Network, or the specialty channels such as The Food Network, HGTV, or TLC. So we need to get him out there in the public eye!
According to a recent interview, some people in PA still think OBAMA is a muslim! COME ON!! Spread the TRUTH!!! Get active!
GO OBAMA!
The media is deciding who is going to be our next President! They are airing deceitful stories that are influencing voters towards one candidate. When the truth comes out that the stories are lies or half truths they don't cover it! Why are we, the American citizens, putting up with this? We are the consumers that buy the products from their advertisers. We can make our voices heard!
Let's start by sending emails to the media expressing our unhappiness with their coverage. Please keep it clean and respectful, as we do not want to have a negative impact on our candidate Let's tell them that we see what they are doing and we do not agree with their tactics! We are not asking for special favors, we just want them to do their job...REPORT THE FACTS...ALL OF THEM...not just the half that works for their candidate.
If we continue to see this one-sided reporting we can go straight to the advertisers and let them know that we are boycotting their products unless they pull their advertising. The media has a responsibility to report the news in an unbiased way! They are failing miserably!
Meet the Press today aired the "Chicken's come home to roost" sermon, and not once did they mention that this was a "quote" from someone elses speech! DISGRACEFUL!! Send them the you tube link of the total sermon so they get the point!
Hey,
We need some PRO-OBAMA support on the New Times site! Let's owverwhelm them with positive responses!

Senator Obama...I have always been a huge fan and supporter, but after watching your speech today, I am filled with pride and overwhelmed with emotion! I believe that you not only dealt with the Rev. Wright issue, you did what no other politician would dare to do! You put all racial/economic differences out there for all of America to see and start to talk about.
As an upper-middle class white woman who grew up in an all-white community, and who, now lives in a very conservative community in Florida, you would think I would be supporting one of the other candidates. I do not like people assuming things about me just because of the color of my skin, or where I live. I shuttle my children across town and out of my neighborhood school so that they can get a well-rounded education with children of all races, because I feel that THIS is what will serve them in the future! The reactions I get from neighbors makes me aware of the fact that I am ahead of my time. But I believe that with you as our President, more and more people will start believing that we are all citizens of the UNITED States! We all deserve opportunities to better ourselves and our families, and you can lead us towards a country that embraces our differences and uses them for the betterment of the country!
Thank you Mr. Obama, for making the speech that no one else has had the guts to make! You have proven yourself a diplomat of Presidential proportions, that our country has NEVER seen before! This speech, this moment is HISTORIC!! Thank you!

Florida supports Obama!
OK regardless of your position on the re-vote, can you not see the irony here?
Here we have two states that willingly broke the rules by moving their primary! So, as a punishment, their votes don't count! Fast forward to post election and everyone is crying because the votes don't count and it is a really close election. So the powers that be propose to have a mail-in vote that will, in-turn, decide the nomination.
WHAT?!?!?! They actually get to DECIDE who gets the nomination? Why? They broke the rules!
The only resolution that will keep the punishment intact and yet allow some more delegates is to split them 50-50 and be done with it!
As many of you know, Oprah is an avid supporter of Barack! I would love to see her get out there and campaign a little more, but having her name on board helps!
I am currently reading Oprah's Book Club's newest book, "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, and have come across an amazing paragraph that sums up the difference between the Obama and Clinton campaigns.
"Negativity is not intelligent. It is always of the ego. The ego may be clever, but it is not intelligent. Cleverness pursues its own little aims. Intelligence sees the larger whole in which all things are connected. Cleverness is motivated by self-interest, and it is extremely short sighted. Most politicians and businesspeople are clever. Very few are intelligent. Whatever is attained through cleverness is short-lived and always turns out to be eventually self-defeating. Cleverness divides; intelligence includes."
Thank you Eckhart for your wise words!
Barack is one intelligent man and he runs an intelligent campaign!
The man is BRILLIANT! This is an interview done this weekend in Wyoming! He addressed the VP invite, fundraising, the issues without even missing a step!

This is yet another trick dreamed up by the Clinton's (probably Bill) to sway the undecided towards their camp. If they vote for her then they get both. It is crucial that Obama not refuse this with disgust, as many of us are! The average voter may see this as a feasible answer to the problem. So we need to focus this on the facts...Obama is WINNING! He has the momentum. So, Obama should come back with an alternative...
HE is winning!!!! She can submit her resume for the job as HIS VP and he will get back to her! But it's not looking good for her!
Job market is tough Hill! But our man's got a plan!
The Florida voters have been done a great disservice! But this was not done by the Democratic National Convention, but rather the bodies that govern our state (led by the lovely Charlie Crist... a republican). They chose to move our election against the wishes of the National Parties. I don't remember anyone asking us if we wanted to vote early. But "THEY" changed the primary and the DNC set the punishment as "No Delegates would be seated" and no campaigning from any of the candidates. This was set a year and a half ago! We, as voters, knew this! They have been talking about it forever! In fact some of the local politicians actually went on the news and told Floridian voters not to vote to prove a point! Where were the candidates then? Why didn't they fight for us then?
So, as the primary approached, we saw no TV ads, no mailers, not canvassing, no signs! It was eerie! Then, the powers that be, decided to put a very controversal issue on the ballot and people flocked to the polls to weigh in on how much tax they want to pay on their house. So as you can see, you get all these voters at the polls, voting on the Homestead Tax issue and then they decide to cast a vote for President since they are there. But the majority are uninformed about the candidates. They have no idea who they are, except for one; what they look like, except for one; and most importantly what they stand for...not even one! So, of course, the vote turned into a name recognition game! "Hey I know her." It seems this is what 8 years as the First Lady will get you!
As a Florida voter, I feel the vote was not fair! The results do not reflect the true will of the people! This being said, it really shouldn't matter, since we were all told that it wasn't going to count anyway! Why, then would the DNC back down and allow the delegates to be counted? Because the bully is whining and crying? It is too late for that! The time to fight this was back when the punishment was first announced. Not a year and half later when you are losing and need the numbers. Next she's going to try to get the new vote to be open to all parties so she can get all the Republicans to vote for her like in Texas and Ohio. ARRGGGHHHH!
I have sent my emails to the POWERS THAT BE and have yet to hear anything! I am going to keep sending them and I urge any other Floridians to do the same! We need to let them know what we, the people of Florida, think about this issue! Of course, the powers that be are rooting for Hillary, because the majority are Rebuplican and they know their man can beat her! So if they decide to do another vote...BRING IT ON!!!! I am ready to get out and let the people of Florida know who the best man for the job is!
GAME ON!!!
Attention: Central Floridian Obama supporters
You are invited to get out and support the community while promoting Obama! The Trailblazer 5K is a walk or run on March 15th, 8:00 AM at the Timacuan Country Club in Lake Mary! The entry fee is $20 in advance/$30 day of race and all the proceeds go to finishing the Children's Playground and Splash Park in Lake Mary. Wear your Obama shirts and bring any stickers you may have to hand out! Let's get his name out and let Florida know what Obama really stands for!
Hope to see you there!
OK is anyone else tired of hearing about Hillary's comeback? What are they talking about! I think the media should give the full details about this so called comeback! She gained only 4 deligates...f-o-u-r! They are talking like she won the superbowl in a shutout!! And they aren't even reporting the whole Limbaugh factor! The vote was so close and the crossover voters definitely made a difference!
I am tired of hearing about Barack's losses! They are making it look like he has lost his momentum, which is so not true! Infact, Barack was way behind just a few short weeks ago in Ohio and Texas, only to finish in tight races! And the stories about the Florida and Michigan primaries are a joke! Of course she won these delegates... Barack's name wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. I live in Fla and because of the no campaigning clause, Barack's name was virtually unknown.
Let's flood the media with emails demanding they report the full stories not just what makes better ratings! The media definitely can make or break a campaign. Look at Hillary's last minute cameo appearances just before the March 4th primaries...seemed to work for her. Barack needs to get out there and show his gorgeous smile and do what he does best... speak the truth!
Barack Rocks!
