I'm a 17 year old student for Barack!
I just created my first fund-raising page two days ago so if you want to learn more about me or my page, please visit!
Do not concern yourself with Michelle's college writings, they are simply a reflection of her school experiences - her views have matured and grown well beyond the microcosm of college life.
Michelle would be the first to tell you that she has always been the more cynical one in their marriage, that Barrack is the "Hope" guy. She has also said that Barack has brought her to believe that all things are capable of change.
Her cynicism is a strength for Barack not a weakness, it keeps him grounded.
Unfortunately a number of Blacks including myself has suffered in some way from racism which has help to shape our perception or viewpoint of American. As we grow older and learned that are Americans who can look beyond our skin color and name, our perception changes as well. As a result, instead of teaching our children to hate or be cynical, we teach our children to look at a person's character and judge them based on their actions or deeds. Finally, we teach them as well as remind ourselves that the United States of America in spite of its flaws this is the greatest country in the world. Just like so many people who use to be KKK members or members of hate groups have changed their minds and embrace people of other races. So, let us put the past behind us, celebrate the present and embrace the bright future of this country.
sean-hal turner-hannity and other hell hounds from fake news already spew this earlier this year and the fact that you brought this here is not going to change anybody mind or heart.

I am really disturbed by your Joe Lieberman. He campaigned completely different than the freak he's become.
Can't you start a recall petition to get rid of him, or something?
SUNDAY’S LINEUP:
Meet the Press hosts Chris Dodd and Clinton chair Terry McAuliffe, and a roundtable with Washingtonpost.com's Chris Cillizza, CNBC's John Harwood, NPR's Michele Norris and Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib.
Face the Nation hosts John Edwards, McAuliffe and Politico's Jim VandeHei.
This Week hosts Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senator McCain Victory chair Carly Fiorina, and a roundtable with Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, George Will and Washington Post's Ruth Marcus.
Fox News Sunday hosts Obama strategist David Axelrod and Clinton comm. dir. Howard Wolfson. The "Power Player" is Ben Stein.
Late Edition hosts Reps. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez (Ret.), Iraqi Amb. to the U.S. Samir Sumaidaie, and a roundtable with CNN's Ed Henry and CNN's Jessica Yellin.
Bottom line, when you think the media is being objective, think again. It appears that the mass majority of the media is being controlled by their Key Executives and the news reports we are receiving just might be tainted. For example, currently the polls are saying that Senator Clinton is ahead of Senator Obama if either were running against Senator McCain and that Senators Clinton margin of victory over Senator McCain is larger than Senator Obama. Well, I say you do the research for yourself and you might be surprised by the truth. Link
Saturday afternoon we loaded up our PT Cruiser and headed to the mid-west. I have never been to the mid-west. After four hours of driving I thought only Pennsylvania was to the west, it took hours to get through Pennsylvania, but we dashed through West Virginia, then Ohio, finally reaching Indiana around four o’clock in the morning. The entire drive we stayed up, discussing politics, society, culture, government, our next president, and the movement we are building. All three of us were unlikely volunteers, and none of us ever worked on a political campaign before. Two ladies over fifty and me, a single mom, we hailed from Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. We dubbed ourselves The Tri-State for Obama.
The sun began to rise as I sped through Indiana anxious to reach our destination to get some sleep. I got pulled over by the police. He told me I was going ninety, I said I thought I was going eighty; the speed limit was sixty-five. One of the ladies shouted “we are here for Obama”. He said “license and registration, please”. When he returned after checking my credentials, he let me go with a warning, THANK YOU OFFICER. I asked how far to Indianapolis, he responded ten minutes but if I go ninety I will get there quicker. I promised I would be off the road in ten minutes, thanked him and continued my journey. We arrived in Indianapolis Sunday morning about nine am, around fifteen hours after we departed. Thank you to the receptionist at the University Place Hotel for allowing us an early check in. After the long night of driving, some breakfast and hotel check, surprisingly we had so much energy and excitement about being in Indianapolis to work for Obama, we decided to go to the headquarters and check in. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at the headquarters on Fulton who welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home.

I signed people up in PA and NY to vote and it wasn't part of the NY Dems.
I'm hopping down to my local Dem headquarters and going wherever they send me.

On the topic of registration efforts...
Does anyone have an update on whether the federal Department of Veteran Affairs still refuses to help disabled veterans who want to register and vote?
The last info I have is that the Director refuses to allow provision of transport to places where they can register and also refuses to allow on-site registration via laptop by volunteers.
The Director claims that all political activity is forbidden in federal facilities and that transporting to a place of registration would constitute misappropriation of federal resources.
I have written to the League of Women Voters, Common Cause, the ACLU and Congress but have received no replies.
According to the news article, Senator Feinstein is working on resolving the issue.
The situation is disgraceful. Being handicapped in a war is not cause for being barred from voting. Of all forms of accessibility, access to the ballot itself is a fundamental right of citizenship. Of all citizens, our disabled military personnel ought not be prevented from voting merely because they are in treatment in government hospitals.
My apologies for venting, but I feel such a sense of outrage and determination to visit DC before July.
Have a great weekend.
GOTV Florida...
Lets get moving!!!!

They say "yes SHE can" and we say "yes WE can." We're not looking for a big mama or daddy to take care of all of us. Barack invites us to step up to the plate and participate in our own futures -- doing the work, making the sacrifices, having the commitment necessary. This begins with selecting a leader enlightened enough to truly value the participation of each and every one of us.
She says "believe in me." He says "believe in yourself."
I am writting this post with a great deal of saddness. I just heard from my husband that their is an investigation going on at the Pentagon in relation to the way the Bush Administration has treated the remains of soldiers that are being cremated. It is being reported that the contract that was awarded to do the cremation was to a place that does pets cremations. So there is an ongoing investigation because this means that soldiers were being put in the same incentarators with pets. My God!! how horrible that our soldiers are being so disrespected by this administration. I am a veteran of the U.S.Army and all I can do is cry at this moment. Wake up people, we are a better Country than what Bush administration has shown the world we are. Barack Obama is the only chance we have in this generation to change the Bush and the Republican way of doing business in Washington. Please continue to pray for our soldiers. They need to be treated with respect and dignity.
