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.
realize, of all my musical tastes Reggae remains the roots so I am a bit biased but this is joy:

I am the only donor so far and would like to achieve my personal goal of getting 10 new donors... any amount counts...
I am really quite happy with Obama's trip outside the country so far. Any thoughts?

It's funny that the media hasn't noted that since the PA primaries, Barack Obama has picked up over 100 new endorsements from all across the political spectrum- as well as more superdelegates.
However, since the PA primaries, his opponant has picked up ZERO endorsements (according to her website) and ZERO new superdelegates.
Dear fellow Democrat,A campaign that seeks to win by making who people are more important than what they propose as policy, which means that what they do not choose is valued over what they do choose leads a racist, anti-feminist, undemocratic campaign: No matter the race, sex or party membership of the candidate or her opponent. Hillary Clinton, with her campaign leadership group, is running such a campaign. A campaign that calls a fairly elected leader of one of our neighbouring countries - whose policies our country disagrees with - a dictator, when that is directly contrary to verified facts, seeks to render differentiated language obsolete and disrespects truth. Whatever one may think of the President of Venezuela. Enough alone, I think, to disqualify Hillary Clinton as Commander in Chief, whether she was just in error or is spreading falsehood.
Girl in Clinton Ad Supports Obama
OBAMA WON TEXAS! I just did the math on the poll results to double check for myself. When will media pick up on this one? LOL
Primary, Obama 61 delegates, Clinton 65 delegates
Caucus, Obama 38 delegates, Clinton 29 delegates
TOTAL: OBAMA 99 delegates to CLINTON 94 delegates
Am I wrong??? I don't think so! :)
HE WON! YES WE CAN!!! Heres the link to this sites result center, see for yourself! http://origin.barackobama.com/resultscenter/
so what. right?
well, after interfacing with well over a hundred people in New Mexico today, I would say the vote count for the registered democrats there from my personal tally was 40% Obama 30% Hillary 25% undecided 5% McCain. Of those undecided- 10 percent leaning towards hillary-- 20% toward Obama and every one but one undecided was definately turned on by my Obama speech-- I went way off script with the last undecided woman I spoke with (20 minute converse) and we spoke about the deeper issues of this movement-- The new frontier reality that I put in prosey poetics earlier. I hope she shares what we talked about with her fellow teachers on Monday-- that in itself payed for my hours there. She was my last call of the night and I must say it was inspirational.
It is also interesting to me that this dream world I have is so supraconscious-- see last blog-- so what... right?
It makes it so fucking real as well.
Of note--
I called 60 or so people in Zuni-- almost all were Native Americans. 75% of there phones were disconnected. I think I had some of the wyrdest but coolest conversations with these people. I am cherokee/french/german. There are many prophecies concerning the year 2012 that are shared between the Native Peoples in the southwest. I actually got to talk about these with some of those people. It was like "lightning striking in a clear blue sky."
Some people are swayed by Bill Richardson's making nice at the New Hampshire debate and hence lean towards Hillary. I wonder what that was about-- too many favors???
And everyone is waiting for Edwards to give them the go ahead to vote for Obama-- isn't it obvious he is in Obama's camp? I told those people, "couldn't you see him as a member of Obama's cabinet-- said the same to a Kucinich supporter as well. Seriously, those three candidates (Kucinich, Edwards, Richardson) all seem to be integral agents in this movement-- they are on the same team don't you think?
I am sure this will make more sense tomorrow after my mind is able to process it with sleep. What a day. I want to do it again-- is that wrong?
;)
lol
any objections?
ahh fathers
Mine and I were fishing in the southwest. (???) I felt New Mexican. A kingfisher with a yellow head was eating bait from my hand. He was twice as big as midwestern King's and had hold of my finger as well as the fish so I clamped down on the beak. His bite was strong like the pressure on my finger since I knocked it with the hammer last night. I liked it. I was giving a thorough report to my father, "Do you know the name of this bird? I am guessing that he's a Kingfisher. The beak's the same. The blue and orange belly... Kingfisher. He's biting the crap out of my hand," I laughed, "amazing eye contact."The little flatboat I was in scooted a bit as I shook my arm to keep the bite tolerable enough to enjoy the wonder. I kept looking at my dad and wondering what he was doing here in the scars of red granite, fire agate, and rhodochrosite. I was dreaming a dark, colorful dream, surrendering to something, exploring...
The dry stones were warm and quiet. The sky was an electric web of purples and orange. I stepped from the sand bottom to the stone, stretching over clear astute reflections. As the stones' metamorphosis reversed into the sky, wind and trees replaced the crags and cliffs. Lightning returned the gems to their veins. Sound built and roared as only the dervish' bare bones knows resplendent-- when body has become crispy and crackles into smoke spun open. Like bonfire celebrates with its builders, the mountains and trees became one song...
All suddenly became coherent, pacific, still. All stopped and the sky went white as a blue summer day. We were in the sun and alll the begun again came forward. All the borrowers.. all the place in time bodies from before came through. They strode in skins, and hats. With laughter and smiles but made no sound. "There it is. That's it! We are really here... all of us. This is what bestirs the 2012's: the 2013!" Walking within transparent seams, bodies whose opaque release becomes handsome in the awoken realm. Their place of passim, transitory here and there, unfettered, free. This is what you are telling them, "it is for all to see."
We are ready.
So, we have gone global economically-- now is the time to reign in the wild EXCURSION that hurts others and begin to heal it, fix it, and hold ourselves accountable for such rapid horizontal growth. Consciousness as well as growth-- must-- I repeat -- must -- be spread horizontally as well as vertically. We must look up, look down, and remember our prayers, those that prayed before us and will after. The mystery is smiling upon this movement again.
lets take this thought to the new frontier:
what if we went global
migrating the parable of organics and
cool
water
into the dough of dollars
the hoe digging in the earth
of other
cultures
this youth movement
of children born of men.
We take our recycled american change,
press the copper into solar captured energy;
a community of windows,
an honest birth in plastic development
like we have done,
but over here we are over there.
NO, not in YOObicles or twisted high heeled ropes.
(Though sexy) It is filled
with moss.
The red hairs dripping in two
stand in gourds' dew,
nude,
as white sweet corn
or mixed
poetess diving a mudbankedin waterdrum river.
What's there we are?
So lets take this thought right over there
to this new frontier:
cool water following the flood of ourselves' new course
a peace
aninnovationcommunity
where you stop and give away a vegan stew
to taste the tomato sandwich basil and cheese before
we share
like buffalo gave themselves almost completely away...
how civilized a rutted road will feel;
deep puddles round your feet in this threshold letting go.
There was a time when we forgot our lines to heart our ears and
remember other's.
When will we believe again
the debate tonight was quite good
and the debate on cnn.com was also very important
this is telling-- oh how wisdom has spread-- and this is the new frontier-- right here right now-- this is the place-- we are the organizing tool-- we are the educating tool -- this web of consciousness will help, and we will shake hands soon.
I think we are seeing transformation today right here in Tiffany's voice. CNN is placing a plant in peoples heads-- "Race vs. Gender"
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/21/emails.race.gender/index.html
An e-mailer named Tiffany responded sarcastically: "Duh, I'm a black woman and here I am at the voting booth. Duh, since I'm illiterate I'll pull down the lever for someone. Hm... Well, he black so I may vote for him... oh wait she a woman I may vote for her... What Ise gon' do? Oh lordy!"
Tiffany urged CNN to "pull this racist crap off" the Web site and to stop calling Hillary the "top female candidate."
"Stop calling Barack the "Black" candidate," she wrote.
the Goldstein Doublespeak machine is getting dismantled one part at a time. We can complete this job.
