Congratulations to President Barack Obama in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize...at his acceptance speech, he humbly stated he was undeserving of the honor, but I beg to differ...the prize of accomplishing the office of Presidency in America by a man of Black African heritage, is a testament to his life, all Americans of vision and African Americans in particular. The Prize is the paramount national and global vision that our President embodies.....and if anyone is concerned about the economy, with all the speculation, lies and projection of ideologies, the President's presence has undoubtedly spurred talk show hosts, pundits, and any other "wish i knew what the hell i was talking about"opportunists, to generate monies from the paymaster.........the election of President Barack Obama was achieved through a peaceful and bloodless process that some still try to invoke the ugliness of the base of human nature.....but, global life of peace, justice and happiness is the Prize of the Prize.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am excited to let you know that I have arrived in Charlotte, NC as the new Regional Field Director for Organizing for America.

I want you to know that I am here to support you in your efforts to bring about the change that we all seek. I hope to help provide structure and direction to our movement so that we in Charlotte are working together as a strong and cohesive team.

Distraction is quite an attraction, isn't it??? Chrysler/GM in and out of brief bankruptcy and on the road to solvency. Weak stock market hit 7,000 level under former administration and now over 9,000. Announcement made that some troops are on their way home from one of the unjustified wars this year. The entire planet loves America again because of President Obama, but not for long when they see the ugly face of racism emerge. Healthcare system on positive path to improvement since health insurance cost will no doubt keep rising with a shrunken work force, who must pay for risk. Downward sliding economy hits brakes and positions to regroup. Yet, all that is heard from the media and undermining politicians and pundits is President mispoke and should apologize about Professor's arrest(can you say trespassing when i.d. has been established?). Privacy Act?
The only one that needs to apologize are those who constantly harp on some fantasy of never being wrong even about slavery, jim crow, segregation, lynching.....shall i go on. The media has taken advantage of President Obama's promise of transparency and keeps him in the publics eye hoping that the population will grow weary, but yet always have a story of interest because it makes America seem as though all racism has been extracted, please. The whole world is watching and is not fooled by this bullsh**. If the President operates from behind closed doors and no longer gives you easy access to his staff, workers or himself then you'll cry foul, but without a doubt project another image and spin to thrust on the people. Learn to live and report as a genuine multi-cultured nation or brace yourself for a rude awakening....
We stand at a point in time where many jobs have gone overseas...and wonder what happened to the economy....Health coverage and payroll has always been the biggest liability for most companies, that's why the jobs went overseas. Profits, board members, and CEO pay had to be the ultimate measure at the end of the day. But, when there are less workers due to relocating jobs overseas and mergers, then there is less input to both accumulate national wealth and spread the risk factor for health coverage, thus health insurance cost increased.
Even huge pay differences between sectors of the population could not curtail the inevitable, there must be balance......Now the free market capitalists and lobbyists will scream "no higher taxes, socialism, and blah, blah, blah", the fact remains that when there is a denial of access to production, whether it is discrimination by race or economic stature, the whole gross national product is ultimately effected. There is no reason to debate whether denial of access for equality existed or exists, because at this point with an unprecedented economic demise, everyone pretty much feels the heat....what do we do about it now?
We work harder as one nation of people for the wellbeing of us all or continue to see the spiral down effect of mismanaged and discriminatory practices. We have perhaps, the greatest minds on the planet, here in America, yet face a dire, near catastrophic crisis from years of greed and selfishness. These minds must become a force for resolution. You can't have it both ways, as the saying goes," You can only serve one master". I'm afraid the master for America had been the DOLLAR, the ultimate prize, yet we claim to be a Christian nation, whatever that means. Because it damn sure doesn't mean abiding by the original laws of the Bible which banned usury(making profit from money) in the first place. This ethical and moral law was to be followed for a reason, mainly to avoid corruption and the craving for the DOLLAR in one's heart. Its too late to implement another monetary system, but is it too late to implement a genuine national brotherhood? If there is still national pride then now is the time to embrace each other in justice or witness the (Fall of Rome) before our very eyes...
Make no mistake, an intrique or manuevering unit within our national governing body's only goal is to be counterproductive to President Obama's agenda, that's politics. President Obama has health coverage already, he's trying to get it for YOU. Yeah, they'll throw out bait of all kinds, like: "spending our grandchildrens budget"....yet, there was no problem spending money (an estimate trillion dollars over 10 years) to enter a foreign country(Iraq) looking for some type of weapons and all that were found were 6 fighter jets(5 buried in the sand) and 3 battleships(inoperable). Iraq had a 2/3 no-fly zone already imposed on it, how were these "mysterious weapons" going to become mobile anyway, camel or horse and wagon? That's called wasteful or unintelligent spending. Politics is strange....this nation was gun-ho about financing a war against Iraq and Afghanistan which was the beginning of our economic demise, but for the health and wellbeing of its own citizens, no way, which is the beginning of economic growth. Could it be some politicians have a stake in the sale of military weapons, a deadly truth? Interest in oil? Guess what, still no Osama, only the killings of combatants who choose to fight and die against invaders and Coalition soldiers fighting as ordered. If i recall it was reported 15 of the 9/11 plane hi-jackers were Saudi renegade citizens and we are in Iraq and Afghanistan, huh??? Not that we should be at war with the Saudis, but what's really going on???? OIL. Another story.....
The current President's predecessor, Bush stated "the fundamentals of the economy are sound(strong)", several times, yet passed a stimulus package to bail the "sound economy" out of the throes of devastastion before leaving office. But, the agenda of the former President is not the issue as far as our solution, but is an issue as far as the problem. You see, there's an element within our governing body that doesn't want our current Presidents agendas to succeed even if it means blind siding the very people President Obama and they also swore to uphold in their best interest and livelihood.
President Obama was given the keys to a remarkable vehicle (national economy), by the former driver, Bush, who explained, "I thought the engine was running fine, but it needs a tune-up. So, i borrowed some money to have it repaired." A minor miscalculation accompanied the keys, yesterdays budget forecast has come and gone, welcome new day Trillions of dollar economy. Upon receiving the keys the current President and everybody riding in this remarkable vehicle realized, the engine is going out, we'll need a new engine or a new vehicle sooner than later(national economy and banking system). In the mean time there are some passengers who've gotten ill and can't receive care because the vehicle is puttering and stalling, yet, an element of those who make decisions about the operation of this remarkable vehicle tell those who are ill, it's a little costly to fix, so try to hang in there while we bs(govern). Those ill sometimes lose their homes, jobs, health and ultimately their lives as the remarkable vehicle waits on crucial decision makers.
Some politician's only sense of governing is to influence the minds of this nations citizens (passengers) that the remarkable vehicle isn't working properly because of who now has the keys, hoping the people won't see the truth of politics, deadly truth.
Video the Vote went to Jackson County, West Virginia, in response to numerous reports of machine vote flipping. The local county clerk showed us the machines in question, but the demonstration left us with questions, as the machine appeared to malfunction even after it was calibrated.

I know that many people are as tired of traditional campaign adds as I am. Watching both Obama and McCain show more good natured, humorous sides at the roast the other day was so healing for me. As I consider whether to max out my contribution to the campaign, I wonder how the money would be spent. You know what I'd like to see? Commercials that embody the movement, adds that show the diversity and good will and passion of Obamacans. I think that people would respond well to seeing an empowered citizenry who is on the ground and running, ready to make American stronger and more harmonious. With the amount of advertising Obama has here in battleground NC, I am beginning to feel saturated. What I see on TV and what I feel when I am at our local headquarters doesn't connect for me. Our movement is kind, determined, generous, and breaks down barriers. Our adds are looking too much like the other guy's for me right now. Now that President Obama has acheived threshold in terms of appearing presidential and sweeping the debates, I think the time has come to embody hope. The movement foreshadows the impact of Obama's presidency. For example, who will do a better job on foreign affairs? The adoration of enormous crowds during President Obama's overseas visits illustrates the solid alliances that we could depend on in an Obama administration. People all over the world recognize the impact that his presidency would have. Here at home, who will do a better job with the budget? Just compare the management of the two campaigns: Obama has succeeded in recordbreaking contributions because of his ability to insire people. In his administration, we'll see this inspiration translate into recordbreaking percentages of people getting involved in charitable giving and volunteerism. Besides raising money, the Obama campaign can stretch a dollar until it screams for mercy. Contributions go so much further because of all the people willing to house campaign workers, show up to headquarters with their laptops and cellphones, and even donate their frequent flier miles. When I volunteered tonight I enjoyed a full catered dinner and dessert courtesy of a group of volunteers. So I decided to "pay it forward" by leaving a restaurant gift card for them to use on another day. This is business as usual at our campaign office. You feel the love. That's what our advertising should be showing. Hope in action. Community. Working together on what matters.
