Cobb County for Obama,
Now, not only is John McCain's choice for V P a big joke, he is worrying his head off because he sees that Sarah Palin has no clue about what she is talking about. "Alaska is next to Russia so Pooten's head is sometimes right over Alaska when he's in his plane flying through Alaska's skyline." LOLOOLOLOLOL...
Now is the time to really hit the road and register voters, do door to door canvassing, and make phone calls. And, now is the time to drive the elderly and people without cars to the polls for early voting at the Cobb Elections Office on Whitlock Ave. The deadline is October 6.
I've already voted and I have been on the front line. I need some good soldiers to join me.
Fired Up and Yes We Will!!

Obama has already proved that he is spending our money well. Check this out from Politico.com:
In a major shakeup at the Democratic National Committee -- and a departure from tradition -- large parts of the committee's operations are relocating to Chicago to be fully integrated with the Obama campaign.
The DNC's political department, housed in Washington, D.C., will be dramatically rebuilt, with staffers offered a choice of moving to Chicago, joining state operations, or staying in Washington, DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney said.
But the power will clearly be shifting to a centralized Chicago hub.
The DNC's key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama's senior staff in Chicago, state party officials said.
"This is part of the implementation of the plans Paul [Tewes] discussed last week with the state party chairs," Finney said. "As part of the efforts to fully integrate DNC operations with the Obama campaign here in Washington, in Chicago and in the states, political, field and constituency operations are moving to Chicago to work in the Obama headquarters. The goal is to consolidate these efforts into one operation and effectively drive one national strategy."
People familiar with the plan said that state party staffers paid for under Howard Dean's 50 State Program would be shifted to working for the presidential campaign, at least in targeted battleground states.
The move reflects Obama's desire to maintain an unusually streamlined campaign, as well as his swift and complete takeover of a Democratic Party that isn't always known for its unity. The move may also save the campaign money, as the Obama campaign can use DNC salaries and staff to pay for elements of its organizing campaign and avoid some of the duplication that has often dogged presidential efforts.
FOX NEWS must be stopped. Their coverage of everything is so biased as to be ridiculous. Here's the latest idiocy:
As if implicating her as one half of a "terrorist fist jab" wasn't enough, Fox News has gone on to label Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama."
Salon's Alex Koppelman writes:
An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

Is it over yet?
No! We regroup and begin again. Here's the latest Folks!
Good Morning Kennesaw and Acworth!
I am the Northwest Atlanta Metropolitan Organizer for the Obama campaign, newly arrived on the ground here in Georgia. I just wanted to point you toward an important voter registration event in the Kennesaw/Acworth area this coming Saturday, June 14th at noon. We’ll be meeting at the Twisted Taco (address included in link below) and heading out to register voters at targeted locations. Sign up here so we know to expect you:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/4bdp
You all have a great group of dedicated volunteers already in Kennesaw, so I would urge you to get plugged in as soon as you can if you are interested in helping to lead the efforts. Come to the organizational meeting this Thursday, June 12th at 7 PM at US Play at 775 Cobb Place Blvd. We’ll discuss the Saturday event and beyond, and continue developing plans for moving forward. Sign up here if you can make it:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/4ggb
Lastly, we are building a massive volunteer movement across the state of Georgia. Barack is within striking distance of Senator McCain here but there is no way we win this state without a tremendous voter registration push and a huge outreach effort to swing voters and new voters. You can be a crucial part of kicking this movement off by hosting a house party, where a campaign staffer will help you plan to have people over to your house and make the pitch to bring them on board to the most substantial person-to-person grassroots effort in campaign history. Be a part of making this history and host a house party on Saturday, June 28th. You can sign up by going here:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/uniteforchange/
I have been working on this campaign since last June, and I can tell you that I have never been more excited to be a part of this campaign than since I’ve come to Georgia.
You all have gotten off to a tremendous start, and I see the incredible potential we hold in the palm of our hands. All we have to do is step up as a collective group and this state – and likely the presidential election – will be won. Imagine waking up on November 5th and realizing you’d been a part of electing Barack Obama as President. I hope you won’t wait any longer to join us and make that a reality.
Regards,
Charlie Anderson

It gives me great "pride" in congratulating Senator Obama's amazing accomplishment!!! However, this show isn't over! If Barack ever needed us; it is now!!! We've got to mobilize the Voter Registration Drive! We need to "ORGANIZE" our drives in order to attract young, middle age, old, black, white, latino, native american and asian in order to get the masses of people to get out and VOTE!! We must be sincere in our efforts- no longer do we need a "show and tell" event where absolutely nothing is organized and nothing is accomplished!!!

Millions of dollars behind in raising money and unlikely to meet a fast-approaching final deadline, the Denver committee hosting the Democratic National Convention is considering spending cuts.
Committee sources say they are working with the Democratic National Convention Committee to consider lowering the $55 million in private cash and donated services that must be raised to bring the convention to town. The cuts would be made to the many parties the host committee is obligated to throw for the delegations and the news media, and other hospitality functions not tied to production aspects inside the convention hall.
"There have been no specific decisions made," host committee spokesman Chris Lopez said. "We're always identifying costs and weighing them against our anticipated revenue."
Lopez said the committee is still working to satisfy its full obligation.
Steve Farber, a Denver lawyer leading the host committee's financial charge, agreed, saying, "I continue to believe we are going to raise the money."
With less than 90 days to the convention and no way to stage it elsewhere, the shortfall in funds could mean the Democratic Party's plan to showcase itself in a smaller city will result in making do with less.
The development could likewise hurt Denver's desire to showcase itself, both in the civic programs it wants to stage during the convention week and in future bids.
"It's never good to not deliver the goods," said Eric Sondermann, a political analyst in Denver.
Sondermann says he thinks it's understandable that the money has been hard to come by because potential donors have been reluctant to step in without a clear Democratic presidential nominee. The problem is worsened by the possibility that a vote on the convention floor might be what settles the question of whether to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan.
Also, Denver has fewer corporate headquarters than past host cities, and fewer also than St. Paul, Minn., where the Republicans are holding their convention — and where fundraising is on schedule.
"But whether those are accepted as reasonable explanations years down the road when the particulars of 2008 are forgotten and Denver is making an application for some major event, time will tell," Sondermann said.
$15 million short of June goal
Host committees often struggle with fundraising until much closer to opening day, when big-city mayors and big-state senators and other political powers come to the rescue. But Colorado lacks that kind of clout, and the host committee leadership within the last week and a half concluded the full $55 million could be impossible to fulfill.
DNCC spokeswoman Natalie Wyeth declined to discuss the matter but said in a statement, "We are always reviewing our budgets and plans to ensure we are being fiscally responsible and budgeting efficiently and effectively throughout the planning period."
The host committee sources didn't specify an amount they wish to cut. But committee officials are $15 million short of the $40 million in cash they are contractually obligated to raise by June 16.
The committee also must raise $15 million in donated services, which, if those aren't offered, must be bought. The value of donated services offered to date has not been released.
The committee never established an $19.5 million line of credit it agreed to in its contract with the DNCC. Officials had said they didn't think it would be necessary. Now those officials say it would be impossible to establish.
Mayor John Hickenlooper has frequently commented about the "backbreaking" work of trying to raise the money. Earlier this month, he said, "I'm not sure I could put in any more time. There's weekends, there's nights. My 5 1/2-year-old's ready to ship me off to Siberia."
He declined to comment for this story.
Denver's committee missed its first milestone in June 2007 by $1.5 million but hit its second deadline in December with $15 million. It missed its third deadline March 17 by $5 million, and has raised only $2 million since then.

The Washington Post article entitled "On Policy, Obama Breaks Little New Ground" is very short sighted. It falls way short of what people are expecting from an Obama administration. The cute notions turned into slogans are not what the American public is looking for. We have heard all those gimmicks before. Especially, the ones hear in 2000 and 2004, Where did those slogans get us- $4/ gallon gas etc? Where did the "little of the left-center divide of the Bill Clinton era" get us - NAFTA? The Blind can not see what is in front of him because He chooses to walk around it. The point being this is our -AMERICAN PEOPLE's- government. It runs as good as the AMERICAN PEOPLE let it. The notion that someone needs to break New Ground with weak promises and outright lies in order to get the votes is insulting. Bill Clinton went to Brooklyn during his campaign making cute words about how he would help change Brooklyn. The last time I looked Brooklyn remains the same as when Bill Clinton took office and when he left office. President Bush made all kinds of promises before getting into office and I see those promises still have not been addressed after 2 terms in office. So why does the Washington Post's Perry Bacon Jr. believe we need more unfulfilled promises?
The American People are tried of promises. We need someone to act and act now! Implement something that does not grind our government to a halt over partisan politics. The American public needs a brilliant leader to bring them into a realm that considers how this bill or subcomittee or congress really serves the interest of America. Can we get anything done that favors building our nation instead of ripping it up into little pieces for the 1% group in our mist?!! So Far, we have tried everything for the last forty years and all we get is the American people further behind the 8-ball. So Yes, we need change but it may not be the change Mr. Bacon Jr. thinks about but something unique where things actually gets done...small or big ...in favor of the American People not special interest groups or paid lobbyists or the soulless Corporations, who gets the lion share of our hard earn money than any others. Talk about your entitlements...Maybe we should shut these payouts down first so we can take care of the people that actually breathe to stay alive.
From CNN:
Hillary Clinton has hinted that she is prepared to take her fight to fully seat Florida and Michigan all the way to the party's convention in late August, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that's not going to happen. In an interview with her hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, the California Democrat said she is prepared to "step in" if the presidential race does not resolve itself by the end of next month. "I will step in," Pelosi told the paper. "Because we cannot take this fight to the convention…It must be over before then." Pelosi, who will serve as chair of the convention, has largely stayed on the sidelines during her party's prolonged primary race. But the House Speaker has said Democratic superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner, and has warned of irreparable harm if they do so. Barack Obama officially won the majority of pledged delegates in last Tuesday's primary contests, though it's been clear for several weeks Clinton could not overtake him in that category. Pelosi also indicated she opposes the Clinton campaign's desire that both Florida and Michigan's delegations be fully seated at the convention. The party stripped both states of their entire delegations last year after they moved their presidential primaries ahead in the nominating calendar. Pelosi said she agreed the two states should be seated in some way, but said only "in a way that is not destructive to any sense of order in the party." "If you have no order and no discipline in terms of party rules, people will be having their primary in the year before the presidential election," she said. "So there has to be some penalty." The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee meets Saturday in Washington to consider exactly how to seat both states. It's likely the committee will vote to meet the rule-breaking states halfway — a move that will help Clinton close the delegate gap with Obama but not overtake him.
(CNN) Supporters of Hillary Clinton are planning to swarm the capital in a little over a week to pressure Democratic Party leaders as they gather to decide the fate of the Florida and Michigan delegations... “I thank you for zeroing in on the May 31 meeting. There will be a lot of activity around that meeting,” she said on a conference call, adding that it was “important your voices are heard” by DNC members.
This is a sad attempt to further divide the Democratic Party. I know I am preaching to the choir, but it is time for us to ALL come together.

I am so happy that Edwards endorsed our next president! FOlks on TV now trying to rain on our parade and say he did it to get the VP, he's broke, blah , blah , blah OR maybe he realizes it's time for CHANGE and there is only ONE person who can do it...Senator Barack Obama!
After thinking we had made tremendous growth in our country, It's sad to learn we still have A Lot of growing pains. The uninformed People need to understand those things that have been institutionalized to divide us should be shed now. That game has been played as they have been by the very people who laugh at The uninformed People's instinct to vote against their own self interest. That's the reason for the laughter from the 1% who tries to control what you hear, see, & think. Degree or no College Degree, We should all know how that game is played by now and avoid the pitfalls like the disease it is. The race card is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways as you try to keep someone else down you are literally keeping yourself down. The point of opening our communities to more than people that look like us is to know WE All RISE. The more we fight for growth beyond ourselves that laughter disappears. These uninformed People need to check themselves and realize that "old dog" needs a descent burial for the bright future that could be there for all of us. However, that Future could be lost to all of us if they don't. Many of us have waited 40 years for the historical events that are taking place right now. It would be a tear-shedding day again if we had to wait another 40 years before that bright future could be available again. That is why these historical events are happening. Many of us recognized what we missed 40 years ago and Why it lead us to Bush/Clinton/Bush years. Many of us also know who really won and lost during those years as well- that 1% group WON for 40 years. Do we really have to repeat this lesson again until we all learn it??!! As we all wait to exhale, why display the behavior of the lower species than a higher one that can think clearly. Yes, it sad to hear we lost West Virginia but it's worst when you know why. Why should {Obama} "Candidate's foot soldiers encounter name-calling, vandalism, bomb threats?" The whole world is wondering what's the answer to that question is.

Since they pulled this article from the link Here is a copy of it below:
By Kevin Merida The Washington Post updated 3:04 a.m. ET, Tues., May. 13, 2008 WASHINGTON - Danielle Ross was alone in an empty room at the Obama campaign headquarters in Kokomo, Ind., a cellphone in one hand, a voter call list in the other. She was stretched out on the carpeted floor wearing laceless sky-blue Converses, stories from the trail on her mind. It was the day before Indiana's primary, and she had just been chased by dogs while canvassing in a Kokomo suburb. But that was not the worst thing to occur since she postponed her sophomore year at Middle Tennessee State University, in part to hopscotch America stumping for Barack Obama. Here's the worst: In Muncie, a factory town in the east-central part of Indiana, Ross and her cohorts were soliciting support for Obama at malls, on street corners and in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and they ran into "a horrible response," as Ross put it, a level of anti-black sentiment that none of them had anticipated. "The first person I encountered was like, 'I'll never vote for a black person,' " recalled Ross, who is white and just turned 20. "People just weren't receptive." For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed — and unreported — this election season. Doors have been slammed in their faces. They've been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they've endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can't fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president. The contrast between the large, adoring crowds Obama draws at public events and the gritty street-level work to win votes is stark. The candidate is largely insulated from the mean-spiritedness that some of his foot soldiers deal with away from the media spotlight. Meeting Cruel Reaction Victoria Switzer, a retired social studies teacher, was on phone-bank duty one night during the Pennsylvania primary campaign. One night was all she could take: "It wasn't pretty." She made 60 calls to prospective voters in Susquehanna County, her home county, which is 98 percent white. The responses were dispiriting. One caller, Switzer remembers, said he couldn't possibly vote for Obama and concluded: "Hang that darky from a tree!" Documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, said she, too, came across "a lot of racism" when campaigning for Obama in Pennsylvania. One Pittsburgh union organizer told her he would not vote for Obama because he is black, and a white voter, she said, offered this frank reason for not backing Obama: "White people look out for white people, and black people look out for black people." Obama campaign officials say such incidents are isolated, that the experience of most volunteers and staffers has been overwhelmingly positive. The campaign released this statement in response to questions about encounters with racism: "After campaigning for 15 months in nearly all 50 states, Barack Obama and our entire campaign have been nothing but impressed and encouraged by the core decency, kindness, and generosity of Americans from all walks of life. The last year has only reinforced Senator Obama's view that this country is not as divided as our politics suggest." Campaign field work can be an exercise in confronting the fears, anxieties and prejudices of voters. Veterans of the civil rights movement know what this feels like, as do those who have been involved in battles over busing, immigration or abortion. But through the Obama campaign, some young people are having their first experience joining a cause and meeting cruel reaction. On Election Day in Kokomo, a group of black high school students were holding up Obama signs along U.S. 31, a major thoroughfare. As drivers cruised by, a number of them rolled down their windows and yelled out a common racial slur for African Americans, according to Obama campaign staffers. Frederick Murrell, a black Kokomo High School senior, was not there but heard what happened. He was more disappointed than surprised. During his own canvassing for Obama, Murrell said, he had "a lot of doors slammed" in his face. But taunting teenagers on a busy commercial strip in broad daylight? "I was very shocked at first," Murrell said. "Then again, I wasn't, because we have a lot of racism here." Vandalism, Bomb Threats The bigotry has gone beyond words. In Vincennes, the Obama campaign office was vandalized at 2 a.m. on the eve of the primary, according to police. A large plate-glass window was smashed, an American flag stolen. Other windows were spray-painted with references to Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and other political messages: "Hamas votes BHO" and "We don't cling to guns or religion. Goddamn Wright." Ray McCormick was notified of the incident at about 2:45 a.m. A farmer and conservationist, McCormick had erected a giant billboard on a major highway on behalf of Farmers for Obama. He also was housing the Obama campaign worker manning the office. When McCormick arrived at the office, about two hours before he was due out of bed to plant corn, he grabbed his camera and wanted to alert the media. "I thought, this is a big deal." But he was told Obama campaign officials didn't want to make a big deal of the incident. McCormick took photos anyway and distributed some. "The pictures represent what we are breaking through and overcoming," he said. As McCormick, who is white, sees it, Obama is succeeding despite these incidents. Later, there would be bomb threats to three Obama campaign offices in Indiana, including the one in Vincennes, according to campaign sources. Obama has not spoken much about racism during this campaign. He has sought to emphasize connections among Americans rather than divisions. He shrugged off safety concerns that led to early Secret Service protection and has told black senior citizens who worry that racists will do him harm: Don't fret. Earlier in the campaign, a 68-year-old woman in Carson City, Nev., voiced concern that the country was not ready to elect an African American president. "Will there be some folks who probably won't vote for me because I am black? Of course," Obama said, "just like there may be somebody who won't vote for Hillary because she's a woman or wouldn't vote for John Edwards because they don't like his accent. But the question is, 'Can we get a majority of the American people to give us a fair hearing?' "
Today is a very special day for my family, they are going to see Senator Obama! I am from Louisville, Kentucky and am proud that my family is taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity. My mother, aunt, uncle, sister and several cousins started getting ready early this morning.
My mother, Maureen Smith has the honor of saying this will be her second time seeing Senator Obama. My aunt Sylvia Brasher called to tell me he was being introduced and she had to go. I was excited for them.
My only regret is my grandmother, Irene Smith who turned 85 years young on March 25th was unable to go. It would have been nearly impossible for her to stand in line. However she is a strong believer and supporter of Barack Obama. She is as proud of him as if he were one of her grandchildren.
I have seen the pictures of the hundreds of Louisvillians that stood in line waiting to hear our next president speak. They all made me proud today.
Continued blessings & peace!
Obama 08
I have listened to hundreds of speeches, debates, commentators, analysts and experts. There have been countless hours of discussions with my husband, oldest and youngest daughters, only son, mother, grandmother , aunt, sisters and numerous friends. I have read the editorials, news articles, blogs, emails and cartoons.
I signed up to make phone calls (I haven't made as many as I should) and when Georgia voted I was filled with excitement because my youngest daughter (18) was able to share the excitement with me.
The arguments, debates and calculations between friends and strangers have sometimes left me with headaches and doubts of some folks intelligence.
Needless to say I have been for Senator Obama since day one.
But for some unknown reason it didn't "hit" me until I saw his picture on Time Magazine with the caption, "And the winner is..." I was like "wait a minute", "hold on" this is so clear, so real to me now. We are going to have a president who believes in change. A president who is not afraid to tell it like it is. A president who loves his wife and children and shows it. A president who is a Black man.
At this moment my eyes waters, my heart swells with pride and I think wow, I am a part of history. I am happy that my grandmother and my children are a part of this historical event. Being a 49 year old Black woman in America has had its ups and downs, but to now be a part of "The Vison" of Senator Barack Obama and millions of others; White, Brown, Red, Yellow, Black makes me even more proud to be an American.
Continued blessings to Barack and Michelle Obama...
