Enjoy and post comments!! Go Obama!
Obama is very prescient. Here is a letter dated 22 March 2007 to convene a summit regarding the impending mortgage crisis:
We cannot sit on the sidelines while increasing numbers of American families face the risk of losing their homes.
And while neither the government nor the private sector acting alone is capable of quickly balancing the important interests in widespread access to credit and responsible lending, both must act and act quickly...
[A] consortium of industry-related service providers and public interest advocates may be able to bring quick and efficient relief to millions of at-risk homeowners and neighborhoods, even before Congress has had an opportunity to act. There is an opportunity here to bring different interests together in the best interests of American homeowners and the American economy. Please don't let this opportunity pass us by.
Howdy! Hope you all enjoyed the debate last night!!
The election is only 4 weeks away!! We need to kick it into even higher gear!!

McCain can't see the difference between Shia and Sunni just like he cannot see the difference between talking about race and playing the race card.
There's a big difference.
Here's an episode of Odyssey where Barack Obama discusses voting rights.
http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/audio_library/ram/od/od-010227.ram
I received this post from an individual who conducted a fundraiser fo Obama and I find it very, very disturbing. I's like to know if other's have experienced anything like this:
update on the bake sale held today june 21 at (business name removed)All in all it went very well, we raised $317. Unfortunately it was overshadowed by an early morning call to my home phone the day the event was featured in the news paper (friday). The caller, who blocked his # left the following message "I hope you raise alot of money for that n****r, we will fix you tomorrow"After some tears of fear for getting my innocent employees at the shop involved, i got mad and decided to have the sale anyway. The police would do nothing because it was "just a threat". Fortunately an ex employee was kind enough to send over some large well trained prison guards. I'm reasonably sure that this was the first time a bake sale had its cupcakes watched by an armed security guard (who happened to be a McCain supporter). I guess you get your help where you can. :-)ps they were in plainclothes and it was all very low key, so no drama.
This event took place in a city in Virginia.
