At least the are two guys who are trying to organize a rally against Obama on day ONE.
This two TRAITORS are manipulating the LATINO community with false pretenses about the delicate issue of immigration.
It seems to me very strange this innocents creatures are telling us the good news if LATINOS go for a rally in day ONE.
It's my opinion these two craps a re-pug infiltrated in this blog.
After a journey that began for me in March 2007, I can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Obama is leading MCain with 2 weeks to go.
But lots of campaigning left to do in these remaining weeks and not much time to reflect.
It has been a wild and wonderful journey for me and thousands of volunteers
Many of my fellow Obama supporters and I will be in Reno Nevada campaigning to the last hour on Nov. 4th doing our best to win this swing state.
I think we will win it.
When the polls close at 8:00 p.m. on Nov. 4th....I will make a toast to Senator Obama and my fellow volunteers for a job well done.
Salud!
"This is a 51/49 country, not a 60/40 country... If you want to elect Barack Obama, go to Florida, go to Ohio. Go to the battleground states."
Obama supporters are more confident now than at any time this year. (Who even remembers the depressing days right after Sen. McCain chose Gov. Palin?) The media echo chamber is largely reinforcing this confidence, just as they have in months past. The powerful endorsement by Colin Powell today on Meet the Press will likely dominate press coverage for a day or two, with only two weeks and two days left to election day. That is huge.
But we should keep our eye on the ball! Lets focus our attention on the battleground states, because if Obama wins only one of these, we likely win the whole ballgame: Florida, Colorado, Ohio. And the single thing that will tip the balance is a significant move by older voters, particularly in places like Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Great Schlep
Sarah Silverman gives a funny take on our mission: go to your grandparents, your parents, your friends and family in these toss-up states, and make sure they are on board. It would be great to win North Carolina or Virginia, but it is essential that we will our share of toss-ups.
Fair warning: this humorous video does contain expletives.

Conservatives sing the praises of Barack Obama
"I sense in this guy a first-class mind who might just do smart things." --Christopher Buckley
"Barack Obama is the sharpest knife in the [Democratic] drawer." --Rush Limbaugh
Colin Powell is now endorsing Barack Obama on Meet the Press.
"I have gone back and forth between someone I have the highest regard for, John McCain, and someone I have been getting to know, Barack Obama." Both candidates would be good presidents.
However, Barack Obama displays "intellectual vigor, intellectual curiosity", and he is surrounding himself with people that will give him the advice that he needs. "I think he is a transformational figure... I will be voting for him."
While Powell continues to love and admire John McCain, who he has known for more than 20 years, he is very concerned about the rightward direction of the Republican Party. "We must stop polarizing our country. John McCain is an non-polarizing as anyone I know, but there is a polarizing element in the Republican Party."
The effort by the McCain campaign to tie Obama to terrorism (via his relationship to Bill Ayers) is a "terrible stretch, its demogogary" and its further evidence that the McCain campaign has been "narrow, ... too narrow for America." Powell tells a compelling story about a young man who was 14 at the time of 9-11. This young man was born in New Jersey, and waited until he was of age to join the military and serve his country. That young man was killed in combat, and is buried in Arlington Cemetary. His gravestone has the star and crecent of his Muslim faith, just as others there have a cross or a Star of David. The McCain campaign effort to tar Obama as Muslim (despite the fact that it is not true) insults the memory of this young man, and the millions of American Muslims who should be able to aspire to serve this country, and yes to become President of the United States.
Barack Obama will electrify this country, and the world. He has established himself as the right candidate. At this point in history, we need a president who will be transformational, a generational change. That is Barack Obama.
This Friday, we'll reach another milestone in this campaign -- the first debate of the general election, on September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Millions of Americans will tune in to watch Barack debate John McCain about America's foreign policy and our role in the world. Barack will share his plan to bring the change we need -- to restore our place in the world, ensure security at home and abroad, and reestablish the United States as the world's economic leader. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the issues. And it's also a great opportunity for you to share Barack's message of change with your friends, family, and neighbors by attending or hosting a Debate Watch Party. Watch the debate with friends and supporters, and talk about how you can get involved in this movement. I recorded a brief message about these parties. Please take a moment to watch the video and sign up to attend or host a Debate Watch Party in your community. Many Americans are still learning about Barack and this movement for change. They don't know about his plan to restore the middle class, cut taxes for 95 percent of American families, provide health care for every American, achieve energy independence, improve our schools, and responsibly end the war in Iraq. Many people also don't know that John McCain has voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time -- including to continue Bush's failed Iraq policies, not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting children's health care, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans, and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class. This debate is a chance for Americans to hear directly from Barack. And with just a few weeks left before Election Day, it's more important than ever that we bring people together and talk about the issues that matter in our communities. I hope you'll watch my short message and sign up to attend or even host a Debate Watch Party: http://my.barackobama.com/debate Thank you for all that you're doing, Michelle
The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has created a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression. Congress and the President are debating a bailout of our financial institutions with a price tag of $700 billion or more in taxpayer dollars. We cannot underestimate our responsibility in taking such an enormous step. Whatever shape our recovery plan takes, it must be guided by core principles of fairness, balance, and responsibility to one another. Please sign on to show your support for an economic recovery plan based on the following:• No Golden Parachutes -- Taxpayer dollars should not be used to reward the irresponsible Wall Street executives who helmed this disaster.• Main Street, Not Just Wall Street -- Any bailout plan must include a payback strategy for taxpayers who are footing the bill and aid to innocent homeowners who are facing foreclosure.• Bipartisan Oversight -- The staggering amount of taxpayer money involved demands a bipartisan board to ensure accountability and oversight.Show your support and encourage your friends and family to join you: http://my.barackobama.com/ourplan The failed economic policies and the same corrupt culture that led us into this mess will not help get us out of it. We need to get to work immediately on reforming the broken government -- and the broken politics -- that allowed this crisis to happen in the first place. And we have to understand that a recovery package is just the beginning. We have a plan that will guarantee our long-term prosperity -- including tax cuts for 95 percent of families, an economic stimulus package that creates millions of new jobs and leads us towards energy independence, and health care that is affordable to every American. It won't be easy. The kind of change we're looking for never is. But if we work together and stand by these principles, we can get through this crisis and emerge a stronger nation. Thank you, Barack
The worst government ever had this country is the Government of Mr. George W Bush.This government isn't happy with the mess of the illegal war in Iraq and all the escalation of the economy, now they INSTITUTIONALIZE the CORRUPTION at all levels in the public administration.What happens with the banks and his tumultuous disorders is something conceivable only under regimes of absolute anarchism in other parts of the word.Under the scrutinize eye of the Federal Reserve all this mess happen and no body --------> YES, no body ------> is going to tell the real true. Why? Simple --------> the political consequences has no limits!Now the government to justify his action is scaring the public opinion about the weakness of the economy and so on.They choose his model for his business, they grow up and get million of million of dollars in profit, they take his own risk, they doesn't ask about the consequences of this risk to the TAXPAYER, they owed an explanation to his share holders, so why this administration are going to help this entrepreneurs with BILLIONS OX THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.This administration is playing THIS game: "TOO LITTLE TOO POOR" and with these are created a new kind of citizen:A. - Those who deserved to be exonerate of his failures and are economically to BIG to failure even if they disrespect any common sense of managements.And B. - Those citizens who are the victims of the Katrina and others catastrophes who do not deserve borrow any direct loan from the government with special interest to rebuild his homes because they are "TOO LITTLE TOO POOR". And not make mistake, probably this TAXPAYER are also victims of the INSURANCE COMPANIES who are trying with subterfuges avoid and made honor his owns INSURANCE POLICIES.As an example FREDDIE MAC & FANNIE MAE is maybe one of the most ominous case of corruption in the entirely world and of course in the history of this country and as a today the only victims of this disgrace are the TAXPAYERS -----------> YES ---------------> the TAXPAYERS who are going to pay every single dollar this PRIVATE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION lose under the most perverse administration they has being mismanaged.No the political establishment, no the media, no one is talking deeper about it, because they can't be clear in any prudent and honestly investigation.The TAXPAYER probably is going to pay only for this two institution BILLION OF DOLLARS ---------------> without any compensation. Where is the justice on this charitable action of the George W Bush administration? ---> NO WHERE!According to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Mr. Bernake and the Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who has the constitutional mandate of take care and avoid this debacle, they never said anything about it and now they issue a warning advice about the consequences of this failures. They said if these institutions aren't salvage by the government the crises could be worst. But worst or not, no one wants to assume the RESPONSIBILITIES of this CRISIS.Hundred of millions of dollars these two companies invest in advertising, for not other reason than consolidate his influence in the mass media.Hundred of millions of dollars they send to FOUNDATIONS and made unaccounted donations around the country, for only one purpose, keep and consolidate his influence in the political establishments.And no government authority said anything!Them you have another crisis with a very well know PRIVATE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, like, Lehman Brother Holding Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co., American International Group Inc.(AIG), and others. These companies take an unnecessary risk in his business, and them the same history ------------> THE TAX PAYER ARE GOING TO PAY for all the mess they did and the administration of George W Bush come up quickly and suddenly to help this bad administrative and dishonest practice with the TAXPAYER MONEY -------> of course they use this MANTRA --------->to scare to public opinion---------> if they don't do it them this situation can compromise the HEALTHY of the Market and the country economy. It seems to me they use the same scaring strategies to go on to THE ILLEGAL WAR!Moreover, they decide who is good and who's bad! But in any case THE MONEY OF THE TAXPAYER ARE GOING to PAY FOR ALL THIS DISHONESTY ADMINISTRATIVE BEHAVIOR OF THE CHAIRMAN AND CEOS OF THESE PRIVATE COMPANIES!At this time no one is indicted, no further investigation and probably no one are going to pay for all this ECONOMIC THIRD WORLD MODEL of this pseudo businessman STRONG FULLY supported by George W Bush with the TAXPAYER MONEY.On March 27, 2008 I published this short post (IT'S LOOKS LIKE THE TITANIC'S HISTORY) about the economy in this country and this was my remarks on it:"Only few are going to save his live, the other are going to died"In the mean time NO matter how much the government LOADED THIS CORRUPTION with money of THE TAXPAYERS in this THIRD WORLD ECONOMIC MODEL ---------> THE ECONOMY of this country is going to sink deep and the big majority of the TAXPAYERS would be the only victims of this mess because they are: TOO LITTLE AND TOO POOR!Percy H Florez

He understands the tough choices that working women in this country face every single day -- because he lived it. And now, he and I are raising two young girls. They are the reason we're in this race -- to make the world a better place, full of opportunity, for them and for all of our children.I know that Barack and Joe Biden are a strong team for women and families across the country because they have the record and the commitment to prove it -- but it's up to supporters like you to help get this message of change out into your communities.Barack and Joe will pass tax cuts for 95 percent of American families, ensure that women get equal pay for the same jobs as men, put the needs of working and middle class families ahead of special interests, and change our broken school system so that every single child in this nation has a world-class education from pre-school through college.But they can't do it alone. This campaign is counting on us.

Amy and her daughter Anthena are from Manchester. They went to the "CHANGE WE NEED" rally with Barack Obama at Veterans Memorial Park and were so excited afterward.
Athena has been excited about Barack Obama since the 2004 Convention speech. This was the first time she got a chance to see him. She said she was shaking and ready to cry. Mom rolled her eyes but Athena was quick to note she had signed up to volunteer to make phone calls. She can't vote yet, but she's ready to do whatever is needed to convince those that can vote, do vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden on November 4th.
Amy switched her support to Barack Obama because he is sincere, honest, and she loves his heart. She doesn't want to wake up four years from now and see that nothing has changed and things are worse. She added:
The issues are way too important to ignore.
Join Amy and Athena here at the Manchester Office at 359 Elm Street or find a Local Field Office near you. This election in November is not going to be an easy win here in the Granite State. It's going to take you, like Amy and Athena, to make the change you need for yourselves by reaching out to friends, relatives and neighbors. It's not about Barack Obama and Joe Biden. This election is about us, the issues that matter to the people, that matter to New Hampshire. Get involved. There has been no more important time than NOW!
