More than 100 days after Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, Bill Clinton was finally due to share a stage last night with the man who proved to be his wife's nemesis.
The former President, who for months has vacillated between rage, envy, petulance, open scorn and — only lately — solid support when the topic has turned to Mr Obama, at last agreed to campaign with him in the critical battleground of Florida.

God bless USA
God bless Obama & Biden
The need for a fresh start in America has grown markedly in the two years of this presidential campaign, and became imperative as the crippled financial system punishes workers, families and retirees in the country.

Sure enough the entire world is anxiously waiting for the USA to once more lead the global effort of making our earth an abode of haven for mankind and in Obama we have the potential to fulfill wholly or partially our dream and and hope.

Video: Al Gore's endorsement of Barack Obama (15:02) (short commercial at start)
Written by an Australian Dentist....Please Keep Reading. Makes You Proud to be An American!!
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who [hurt] an American, any American.So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is so they would know how to recognize one when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
To [HURT] an American......[emphasis mine, to soften the actural comment]"An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that - he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other na tion in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan . Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built AmericaSome of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.So you can try to [HURT] an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be [Hurting] yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American."
