Click on that and learn about the Next Generation of Leaders Barack Obama talked about.
Omar Dyer was recently on a radio station promoting a job fair for NP and SBA in New Jersey.

Omar Dyer is the onlu candidate that has a real chance for an independant to win. The media is not talking about him and will not give this young kid a chance to change politics for the better.
Yes, fellow travelers!
We TOO can experience the wonders of Obamian Socialist Ideals.
Much like the ones that created the modern 'middle'class"...
It was called the GI BILL of Rights I believe.
It socialistically allowed people who might otherwise not ever have afforded it-- to own a first house.
Yes, the evil totalitarian socialists (the post ww ii government) hatched the insidious plot.
We're in RUIN this very day due to it.
Damn poor people got houses, got cocky and uppity and began investing in stocks!!!!
Oh, tis a tangled and odious weave we web....when Stalin comes a knockin'
Beware! Beware!
If Obama keeps up more people might own houses!!!!
Get yer pitchforks and meet me at the church at midnight!!!
(oops, I forgot...newt and rush can't use hand tools and besides they got a dinner party tonight)
There goes the revolution!
Now the damn fish are addicted to tea and i got 5,000 pitchforks i can't sell.
Maybe I'll loan em to some real people so they can pitch that line of crap out of the way before we all get it on our shoes.
So, we leave the reader, agape at Rush and Gingrich's 'paper-revolt"...a document written on
toilet paper...and head, fearful of socialism but contrite that our country
is much too spoiled and lazy to ever adapt to it, into the brave new world of twitter.
(yes, and scrap that "meeting at the church" too! WAY, way too socialist for twiddle and dee)
bow--wooo!
I ran accross the 3/15/09 60 Minutes show online, http://beta.sling.com/video/show/130320/87/60-Minutes,-031509, and I find the show pretty interesting, though Bernanke doesn't go through the entire history of the FRS. (I won't go through all of it here, but there are plenty of links and sources about the full story, if you're willing to know. Remember, Woodrow Wilson regretted creating the FRS).
About Bernanke's policies, though, IMO, he's either fooling himself or he's a pretty shrewd actor, as he seems emotionless throughout the piece (or it could be the editing).
It could be global warming, or even the solar system heating up (Yes, apparently, it's not just the Earth that's heating up, http://www.livescience.com/environment/070312_solarsys_warming.html.), but this guy, who's not a college undergrad, has his own opinion about Bernanke's policies: http://capitalbeat.com/?p=2647.
Uh, why is all of this talk about the FRS and its policies becoming so popular on the MSM now, even though it's been all over the indy media for years?
Very interesting indeed...

We are in a moment at a time of leadership: the fire and wood chips have been placed in the House of Representatives. When people start to lose their jobs, the secert room chats start to come out: "House Repubs (Reagan File Republicans) are voting against their own party presidents bill. Whoever is elected is screwed and will carry this big anchor around their neck. The repubs, who really don't care that much for McSame: as they call him (John McCain) anyhow, are pretty sure they are going to lose this election. They are hoping to see a dem fail to have a better shot in four years with a legitimate candidate." -- Former NY Sun Reporter
A rumor on the hill leaked from an out of work reporter stated: "House repubs are now losing lots of money in the market, like everyone else. They are caught between a rock and a hard place and most likely will have to pass this bill, but for all the wrong reasons." -- Former NY Sun Reporter
This country is at a moment in time where you can't sink the country; in order to regain the seat 4 years later. That's not leadership: that's rackateering. This is the time when you see the signs of real leadership. Please remember on election day that Barack Obama's campaign is united his party. While John McCain has divided his party. Here's how we got into this mess, a divided county -- where parties will throw wood-chips in a fire for power. You have many reagan file Repubs, and a few freshman Dems -- voting and creating bills for their friends in Wall Street. They are setting the un-regulated laws that has turned this country into greed. You can't blame them for thinking about greed, yet, I hate to say it but: President Bush dropped the ball. He was so hungry on the axis of evil, and forgot about his own house. Which in tern burnt his country -- maybe G. W. Bush didn't know because: NOBODY LISTENED. This is the change we need in Washington, when everyone knows that they can't beat the system. They can't vote for the regulations in Wall Street, and then say: I didn't make that law: The other party did. It's time to unify both parties, and stop the bickering of you did this and they did that. It's time to work for the American people -- because for once they really need it. It doesn't matter if your from the north, south, east west, middle, off the coast, or a terriorty: YOU are an American product. So if one state hurts, the next territory will hurt. We have 600,000 unemployed Americans, and in Washington they are fill-bustering the bills so they can make a few dollars in the market. Maybe their should be a tax on Congress that uses stock market revenues as campaign contribution. What I mean is they are placing their money into a product on Wall Street, and getting funds. That's how we got into this mess, and it started with the Reagan File Republicans: and when Nacy Pelosi told them the party was over they: wanted to remove her from the seat. That's a shame!
In America, your right to vote makes you an American. In America, your right to vote makes you a tax-payer. In AMerica, your right to vote gets you one step closer at being a citizen. All around the country, voter registration drives, have re-boasted the vibe of voting. Organizations like A.C.O.R.N. which means: Association of Community Organization for Reform Now, have been working too hard in order to get people registered. Yet, the House Republican Base, who's seats are endangered see this organization or any organization like A.C.O.R.N. as a problem. This problem is the same problem that helps people get registered to vote: more like Rock the Vote. In fact both of these two organizations fuel off the same information and ideas set down by the federal government.
What I can't understand is why two programs that do idnentical things, in terms of functioning and voter's rights -- are at the opposite side of the House/ Republican's table: here's an idea! A.C.O.R.N. brings in 90% of their voter drives to the Democratic Party, While Rock the vote brings in 45% of their drives to the Democratic Party. Rock the Vote turns in 55% for the Republican Party, and A.C.O.R.N. turns in 10% to the Republican party -- so this means the Republicans can't inspire their base so they want to pick which program works and what doesn't to favor them. Fact are: 55% of newly registered voters are Democrat, with 25% are independent -- with 20% Republican. Now they want to take away your rights.
The Repubs base wants to say this: These people are criminals, these people are illegally here; these people are not competent enough to vote. Listen, they ARE WRONG: During the primaries, you voted on the voter act initiative; which protects your rights unless you are mentally challenged -- and even then you still have the right to vote with assistance. Here's you voting rights for 11/4/2008
1: To be registered by 10/4
2: U.S. Citizen that has a residence in the states county for more than 30 days on Election Day: Including a P.O. Box from the stats post office.
3: 18 years of age before Election Day.
4: If you are not in prison or on parole for a felony convicition on or two weeks before election day.
5: College students have a right to use the dormitory as a primary residence -- home or school: and they can oly vote ONCE.
6: Only a person with a misdemeanor conviction can still vote, and they have the right to vote from the jails: MISDEANORS ONLY.
7: A felony conviction can only register: after they have been cleared from: parole, probation, and their current charge.
8: A homeless person can vote if were they usually stay: they can use that place like: a park, a shelter, or a citizen sibling in good standing -- in which they reside in the county of the state they are registering in to vote.
These are the rights you have to vote and these are the rights that A.C.O.R.N. and Rock the Vote is using. One problem: Rock The Vote is an online company, and A.C.O.R.N. is a minority based community program: running under the cleanest rules in America, and just like Coaches! 101 they are under federal investiagtion. I get it when you are clean: you must be evil if you're not a Republican. When you are dirty, and create scandels -- like the financial crisis: you are good with the Republican base. Please be aware of your rights:

It used to be that when we reached this stage in a Presidential campaign, it was possible to get some substance from the requisite “60 Minutes” appearances by the candidates. You could watch the show and pretty much make up your mind which candidate fit your view of the world. This year, unfortunately, John McCain's and Barack Obama's appearances were clearly unbalanced—and it wasn't because the candidates were not matched.From the first segment through the entire hour, it became clear that the McCain half of the show was a “kid-glove” treatment from usually tough and thorough Scott Pelley, while Obama took major league hardballs from Steve Kroft and hit them out of the park. McCain, in his usual constrained, borderline-head-explosion style, came across as himself—an angry old man. He also looked constipated. Hey, I'm just saying. Hey Grampy! Metamucil, oatmeal, coffee...something! Anything!Every time Pelley got anywhere near a pointed real question, McCain looked like he was about to pull out his NRA-engraved six-shooter and blow Pelle away. The result was that Pelley spent more time talking to Jimmy Mac about his near washout in the Naval Academy, his reckless youth, his time at the Hanoi Hilton (again and again), and how he is running for President because its about “something more than self.” Even though McCain had what has arguably been referred to as the “worst week ever” for a campaign due to his flip flop on the state of the economy, calling for the firing of SEC Chairman and fellow Republican Christopher Cox (the President can't fire the SEC chair), and Sarah Palin's numerous flubs all over the place--Pelley didn't seem to realize that McCain was trying to avoid discussing almost every substantive issue on the table.Wow, Mr. Pelley, way to really go for it and grill McCain on the issues. I mean, the guy has lied his ass off for nearly 4 weeks now, switched positions on everything, has the $2 Millon a year former lobbyist for Fannie and Freddie as his campaign manager, and is propping up his campaign with Alaskan Republican eye candy. Couldn't you come up with something more important than asking about where John McCain gathers his thoughts while walking across the place where he gathers his thoughts? Dumb TV questioning equals more dumb TV, sir.The scariest moment of the interview was when Pelley asked whether McCain believed Sarah Palin was ready to step in as President of the United States if necessary. Coldly, without emotion, expansion, or context; McCain replied “Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.” Pelley failed to ask about McCain's rumored cancer remission, why he refuses to release his full medical records, or exactly what McCain's definition of “ready” might be.Obama, meanwhile was Presidential in his demeanor, and to be fair...he did not look constipated. He must be eating his bran muffins and Activia. Steve Kroft, always a solid interviewer, made a point of pushing hard about Obama's response to the current economic crisis, his position on the Iraq war, asked why the Illinois Senator believes he is best qualified to be President, and what the real differences are between McCain and Obama.The most notable portion of Obama's “60 Minutes” profile was a segment when Kroft and Obama were in the middle of a post-speech interview. Unexpectedly, Obama interrupted the taping to respond to loud calls from a nearby rope line. Politely, and without any of the usual politicianesque behavior often exhibited by candidates in unscripted moments, called back and asked the crowd to give him a minute to wrap up the interview. Obama then returned his focus to the camera to wrap up the segment. Immediately after answering the last question the camera followed Obama back to the rope line to capture a heartfelt moment where an elderly African-American woman shared with the Senator her story about her recently deceased husband, "who tried to stay alive long enough to see Obama elected."She explained that they had been married 70 years, and her husband had just died a few days earlier. Truly touched by his story, the Senator reached out and gave her a big lingering hug, thanking her for sharing the story. The dramatic and real TV moment was a sharp contrast to the stilted walk-and-talk Pelle conducted with McCain immediately after his RNC acceptance speech; where Cindy McCain is awkwardly left trailing listlessly and silently behind the two men as they talk about how he pulled out the nomination from a previously-failing campaign.Its not to say that the entire “60 Minutes” didn't have value. It truly did, as it demonstrated how the mainstream media continues to give McCain a major pass, while Obama has to be perfect every time, all the time. Even in the supposedly balanced gaze of the Tiffany network's eye, there is no longer balanced coverage. Frankly, as a young journalist who was schooled to believe that the venerable program was the best-of-the-best of the news magazine format; it would appear a letdown was inevitable. I'm just very disappointed that it came during the most important Presidential election in my lifetime.

OPINION - If you haven't noticed, the "Best Poltical Team on Television" at CNN has been playing a kind of epic spin game to keep the campaign close. While CBS, NBC, ABC and MSNBC have been done what they always do, hunt down stories on Sarah Palin to tell us more about her, identify inconsistencies, fibs and outright lies in her stump speeches, and document the immense waffling of John McCain on every politically sensitive issue on the economy this week, CNN covers it very lightly, and is always careful not to step on the McCain camp's toes, even when they have to follow the press pack into a story.While dozens of media outlets were lambasting McCain for saying that he would fire the SEC chairman one day, and then do a 180 on the next, news cycle or come up with a "Plan" for the bailout even though everyone knows that the Fed and the Treasury Secretary will have a "plan" long before McCain can do anything about the financial crisis, CNN reported the facts of the event, and kept its talking heads away from calling McCain on any of it.
From the February 10th, 2008 hard-hitting 60 Minutes segment:
KATIE COURIC, INTRODUCTION TO SEGMENT: Senator Hillary Clinton never expected such a tight race. Last fall, she was ahead in the polls by a wide margin with no serious rivals to worry about. Now she finds herself locked in a fierce battle with her opponent Barrack Obama. But she's already won several big states and she's got her eye on two important primaries in early March, Texas and Ohio. With the Democratic nomination in the balance, she remains focused, energized and anything but defeatist....
COURIC TO CLINTON: How do you do it? I mean, the satellite interviews, the speeches, the travel, the debates, the schmoozing, the picture taking, 24/7?"
CLINTON: I do it because I really believe in what I'm doing.
COURIC: I knew you were gonna say that.
CLINTON: Well, but it's true.
COURIC, GIGGLING: But I'm talking about pure stamina.
CLINTON: Well, pure stamina. I have a lot of stamina and I have a lot of resilience.
COURIC: Having said that, do you pop vitamins, do you mainline coffee?
CLINTON: I take vitamins. I drink tea, not coffee anymore. I have really stopped drinking diet drinks because I found that they gave you a jolt, but they weren't good over the long run. I used to drink a lot of them. I drink tons of water. Just as much water as I can possibly drink. You know, my two secrets to staying healthy: wash your hands all the time. And, if you can't, use Purell or one of the sanitizers. And the other is hot peppers. I eat a lot of hot peppers. I for some reason started doing that in 1992, and I swear by it.
COURIC: What were you like in high school? Were you the girl in the front row taking meticulous notes and always raising your hand?
CLINTON: Not always raising my hand, not only raising my hand.
COURIC: Someone told me your nickname in school was Miss Frigidaire. Is that true?
CLINTON: Only with some boys. [laughs]
COURIC, GIGGLING: I don't know if I want to hear the back story on that.
My favorite CTA performer (and new bud), Albert Griffith/GQ/Tha Teacha, told me about Barack Obama's appearance on Letterman on Sept. 10. I missed it on TV, but found a video clip on the CBS web site. Here's the link to Letterman -- click on the picture of Dave and Barack to play the clip.
Also on Sept. 10, NPR played audio clips of John McCain and a host of other politicians using the good ol' "lipstick on a pig" phrase. McCain himself used it during the primary season to criticize Hillary Clinton's heath care initiative. Listen here to NPR clips. (Ugh, I can't believe even I am posting about this stupid non-issue.)

According to a very interesting and well researched article by Seth Colter Walls the short answer is YES. Polling does not sample recently registered voters and typically the reach out to equal numbers of democrats and republicans causing data to be skewed because there are about eleven million more registered democrats in the United States.
We need to stand up and make our voices heard. I need for you to reach within your gut, and sent a message to the media that we respectfully ask for due diligence of Sarah Palin. Some of us have gotten together and have already send out the first round, but it is going to take a lot more of us to make a statement. We have to bombard the media with Facts. We have voter registrations across the country being cast aside by various states, particurlary with Republican run governors.
Are we going to sit silently and moan and not challenge reporters to fair and equitable coverage?
Are we defeatests or are we victors?
I believe, as well as Senators Obama and Biden, we are victors.

RE: DUE DILIGENCE OF GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN, ALASKA
Dear ABC, Charlie Gibson, et al: Since learning that Governor Sarah Palin has granted ABC's Charlie Gibson her first television interview since her VP nomination, we request, in good faith, that your constituents adhere to an objective, a fair and factual interview of Governor Palin. For example, in ABC's April 16, 2008 coverage of the Clinton-Obama debate, Charlie Gibson defended his scrutiny of Senator Barack Obama's patriotism by stating: ""It comes up again and again when we talk to voters. And, as you may know, it is all over the Internet." We commend ABC for listening to the voters on April 16, 2008, and now we ask that ABC listens to the voters today, September 8, 2008, and adequately ask Governor Palin---upon interview---precise, unadulterated questions while requiring that the Governor gives unambiguous, un-watered down, and non-deceptive answers to voters' concerns that come "up again and again" and that are "all over the internet". Case in point: During Governor Palin's acceptance speech, she asserted: "...I championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. In fact, I told Congress -- I told Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' on that bridge to nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, I said we'd build it ourselves." It is not the earmarks that upset voters the most; it is the deception, the disingenuousness, the documented lies about Palin's stance on earmarks as well as other issues, that infuriates us more, and it brings ethics and judgment to the forefront. Thus, we are counting on your wisdom and professional journalistic due diligence in this interview to keep voters informed. We also enclosed a list of grave voter concerns as detailed on Think Progress' website for your review, and we ask that these issues are thoroughly addressed during this interview, and all others with the McCain campaign. Thank you for your attention as we await what should be a fair and objective Palin interview on the matters mentioned below, without bias or partisan favor.

John McCain Ad!
If I ran an ad on John McCain it would go just like this:
Please don’t get fooled by John McCain stating that his VP pick was vetted like any other candidate or the like in the Democratic Party.
John McCain wants off-shore drilling, and war – plus cut taxes. How are they going to pay for those ideas: by going to war and borrowing money from China.
Sarah Palin wants to implant the windfall profits tax, and end the war. How will she get her way in John McCain’s plans? She won’t! Sarah Palin will not have a say in McCain’s government, she will be placed as a photo opt to get voters to vote for him.
Why was Sarah Palin picked over Kay Hutchinson, Elizabeth Dole, Judy Martz. Linda Lingle, Olene Smith-Walker, M. Jodi Rell – all of those that supported him during the primaries.
John McCain pick Sarah Palin because she’s young – inexperienced, and is a distraction on McCain’s true identity of pandering politics. Just like Bush, McCain will blame someone else. He had 2 months before Barack Obama became the DNL and he comes with a one-day pick and vetting of Sarah Palin. McCain was just looking for the first available Republican woman that was young enough to swift vote women voters. I am a male and if I am the only one that sees what he has done – it’s a shame on women’s right, and how had some males have actually fought for women’s rights.
John McCain is going to select Sen. Joe Lieberman (I) CT as his Vice-Presidential running mate. There are two reason for this selection. It display's McCain's bi-partisanship muscle. The second reason requires some set up. First, John McCain's been dropping Judeo-Christian like it's hot lately. He's planning to paint Sen. Obama as a Muslim v. the Christian and the Jew. Secondly, Mike Huckabee is dispatched to Israel to rally the troops. That is the master plan and it must be defeated now.
This message is about Barack's position on the US military surge in Iraq. I think Barack was absolutely right.
1.) Iraq still has a major sectarian divide, for which there is no military solution.
3.) Without resolving the sectarian divide politically, but maintaining the US military surge, the US could inadvertently be perceived as occupiers in Iraq that would be siding with the most powerful sectarian group in the Iraqi government. This could also undermine the sense of urgency for such a group to make political overtures to other Iraqi groups in order to stabilize the country; as the most powerful group would have little incentive to do so because it may perceive itself as being supported by the US military that keeps the violence down. The most powerful sectarian group could even adopt the position of willingly not making political overtures to other groups, while “hiding behind the shield" of a US military surge. That would be clear manipulation of our military by a foreign government.
5.) It wasn't just the US military surge that led to a reduction in violence, and without other Iraqi involvement independent of the surge strategy, violence across Iraq and in the captial could still be higher.
6.) John McCain's campaign, and the conservative media, are trying to over simplify a complex issue, without giving full credit to all the factors (particularly groups of cooperating Iraqis) involved that led to the lower level of violence in Iraq.
Seems that McCain got the history of the surge wrong in an interview with Katie Couric, but that the material was left on the editing room floor:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/22/mccain-gets-history-of-th_n_114419.html
The bipartisan FactCheck.org disproves a smear email going around that suggests Obama would tax your profits if you sell your home, among other things:
http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/would_obama_tax_my_profits_if_i.html
Finally, here is the page from Obama's "Fight the Smears" site that deals with passages that have been misquoted (or in some cases, entirely fabricated) from his books. You should bookmark the home page of Fight the Smears - let's try to push back against the onslaught of false information and personal attacks.
