Obama's travel abroad

By Ivonne - Jul 26th, 2008 at 5:06 pm EDT

I was pretty surprised the way Obama moved among the world leaders of today. When I saw the tv shots (including Berlin) I was wandering: how does he do it? The way he act was like as if he does it every day. Unbelievable. He really has a lot of talent. So relaxed.

Fascinating man.

Overseas Trip a Great Success

By Eulis Simien - Jul 25th, 2008 at 6:37 pm EDT

Also listed in: Baton Rouge for Obama | Louisiana Action Team | Louisiana Attorneys for Obama

There are those who will use the success of Senator Obama's trip as a wedge and argue it simply shows that he is not focused on the problems in this country or that it is further evidence of elitism. However, what is really shows is that the world is ready for this country to have a real leader again. The world, like a majority of us, is tired of the way the executive branch has turned this country into one that acts in disregard of and with disrespect for the rest of the world. The time has come for the US, while recognizing its role as the lone super power (at least militarily if not economically) in the world. However, with that role comes the responsibility to act with prudence and justice, not just act because we can get away with it. I think the rest of the world sees that this change can be realized with Senator Obama in the Whitehouse. What a rally, 200,000 in Berlin. We have just got to keep all our troops focused and keep the excitement level up so that the vote will turn out so that we can all stop calling him Senator and use another title.

He's making us proud Again

By mashayo - Jun 27th, 2008 at 2:16 pm EDT

To change the world into a better place to live, the world needs a genunine leader who will be a true component to such changes.

We believe Obama can best help us in "building a bridge to the 21st century"-Bill Clinton and heal up all the wounds that provoked world terrorism.

As Gerald Ford once quoted in 1976, "He is making us proud again" Dont get suprised to find this daily paraphrased by millions of Americans, Europeans, Africans and Asians once Obama becomes the next American President as the man is determined to "make us proud again". Read More »

DEFINING THE US PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

By Paulalois15 - Apr 18th, 2008 at 12:21 pm EDT

No one has defined what it means to be the U.S. President.
During the campaign the focus is what the nominees will do to make change, but to me it seems that once the democratic process has taken its course, promises have often not been met or even reversed. The George Bush Jr. presidency is a perfect example of reversing pledges made to the public. Congress did a terrible job in holding him to his pledges.
It would be good for Barack Obama to sometime state his philosophy of leadership, and how he will hold himself accountable, to set a standard for the position and honour of the presidency so that the people are not short changed on the pledges made.

More importantly however - The U.S. President is the most powerful leader in the World, and therefore the President MUST become a world statesman as well. The U.S. does not exist apart from the rest of the world.

Already we live in a world economy. No longer is the world's economy separated from country to country, or continent to continent. The reason is we all share in the same basic resources, whether they come from equator or nearer to poles, whether they come from Europe, Asia or America. To ensure peace in the world, it is imperative that the world's economy remains stable, and it is therefore important that the world's leaders each use their economists to look at the world as a whole. Market forces have now dominated the world's economy, and it is the role of Government to ensure that fairness prevails so no region is overly exploited and that a level playing field is maintained for the benefit of every region, recognizing their place in the world in terms of its unique capabilities political, social, economical, physical, philosophical (cultural) and circumstantial.

Recent mortgage crisis and the ensuing financial stresses it has brought with it is a GLOBAL Phenomenon, requiring a Global Solution.

Solutions are found with small steps, and the President should encourage the international organization, whether the world bank, the U.N., the G8 and G20, that the world define areas of common interest and goals, and then tackle the small wins, which will eventually result in the big wins. This way we move forward. If we are unable to break through major hurdles, we break it down to minor ones first.

As for Leadership Philosophy. The question that needs to be answered is - WHAT DOES IT MEAN to be the President of the United States? To me, a leader sets the example - is the mentor and has the vision. A leader empowers people to realize what they can achieve together as well as individuals. A leader tells people, "We can!" A great leader inspires people with great speeches, and is the living example of our best inspirations. He does not have to be perfect, but AWARE - so that any mistakes that are made are noted, reflected upon, and learned from so we all move forward positively.
A Great Leader is a great communicator. You talk to your enemies, if not directly, then through emissaries and middle men who have a direct line to the President, for the simple role of finding common ground to explore to diffuse situations.
Nothing moves forward unless there is some agreement from differing factions - no matter how minor. This needs to be the focus in peace on earth - finding common ground and getting mutual agreements between adversaries to work towards common goals - ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Barack Obama is on the right track. People are sick of Hillary's attacks, which for most people creates division and strife. It is correct for Barack to express frustration at the media, and to focus on the issues rather than counter attacks.

To counter the Bush's campaign of fear - because it is fear that causes people to freeze up, lock down and not do anything - and replace it with hope to inspire people to work together to achieve common goals. When one person is inspired, the next person will feed of the inspiration and become inspired too, and so the chain reaction occurs.

Barack is the inspiration for the change chain reaction. Go Barack!

After the Words And Applause....

By Jenine Torres - Feb 22nd, 2008 at 3:13 pm EST

Also listed in: Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack) | Writers for Obama

Yesterday's Presidential debate is one I'll have in my memory till I'm old and grey. One I can envision telling my grandkids about. As I listened to and watched Barack Obama, I knew that this is what people felt when they heard Malcolm X, John Kennedy, and Martin Luther KIng speak. They felt a rush, their pulses heightening. They felt a pride. They felt that change was no longer a faint echo heard in the distance, but was finally a breath away. They believed. They recognized that deep within themselves they'd been longing for this moment. I was stirred. I listened intently. I cheered. I jumped. I screamed and I felt a joy in my heart - and in that moment I truly believed that this man would be our next President. That he is worthy. And I say the word worthy because he makes me feel like I have a voice. He makes me feel like he hears everyone's voice. From the mothers in the Bronx who want a better education for their children, to the people of Mexico who want the American dream, to the people of Cuba who yearn for freedom, to our men and women far away in Iraq, amidst a war, who want to come home, to the blue collar workers all over our nation who want a job to go to and the security of knowing their loved ones can visit the dentist, can get a mammogram, can get a colon cancer screening, can get a nebulizer because they are just as important as the man who wears a suit and tie 5 days a week and owns a vacation home in the Hamptons. To the people all over our country and abroad who have longed for unity. To the people who say F___ class and gender and color and geography! Let's get down to basics, my brothers and sisters - We are people! Who came onto this earth the same way, naked and crying. Why do some of us still feel that no matter what we do, we are still naked and crying. After all the words from each candidate, after the moving speech from Hillary Clinton, after the applause had faded. I saw something. I saw people waving pieces of paper in the air at Hillary Clinton for her to sign. And she signed with pride, she'd had a great moment. But then I saw something else. I saw hands reaching out to Obama. Not one piece of paper being stretched towards him. Because the people who support Obama, the people who want to see him as our next great President, these people aren't looking for his signature. Obama makes you feel something inside - his candid honesty, his feeling that we are all connected, his longing to want it better not just here - but everywhere. That people, is a man you want to touch. Is a man you want to reach your hand out to and grasp it for a moment as if to say - we are united. Unite us.

WHY OBAMA? : THE WORLD IN NEED OF A COMPASSIONATE LEADER

By ODEH ODEH - Feb 21st, 2008 at 12:15 pm EST

Also listed in: 1,000,000 Americans for Obama | Maryland Action Team | Nigerian- American Biomedical Scientist for Obama

Sensationalism from media reports tends to emphasize atrocities and acts of brutality and militarism. Daily acts of compassion and kindness are often eclipsed by these accounts. Notwithstanding this development, the fact of the matter still remain; people are tired of war, atrocities, murder, suicide, hatred, division, dichotomy, discrimination, egocentrism and are very desperate for love, affection, and sympathy.

Our societies are often too saturated with negative reports and the dire consequences are very conspicuous in the unfortunate repercussions our children faces, at school, in the house and within the neighborhood. There is hardly any media report in contemporary society that ugly news such as a case of murder, war, bombing, mutilation, suicide and other diabolically motivated actions does not make headlines or breaking news.

The people of America specifically and the world at large are fed up with this kind of trend, that does not in any way manifest our residual potential act of humanity. However, we are now being presented by a unique gift and opportunity to begin to fight these negativism starting with the anticipated Commander-In- Chief of the United States of America, if only the people’s choice and wish is allowed to stand.

John McCain et al believe that, for any individual to be compassionate, such a fellow is weak, coward and incapable of leading! What a total misconception of the meaning and power of compassion. Again, I am not surprised by his lack of understanding and the insatiable quest for war; may be his Vietnam experience has clouded his humane judgment.

Obama personified and epitomizes compassion, love, respect and humanity without in any way compromising the significance of national security and protection of every Americans at home and in abroad.

Right from the start, Obama opposed the war in Iraq and considered it to be an unjust war with dire consequences if pursued. Behold, the continuous unfolding events in Iraq, complement his judgment and conviction. How has the media reported this development and the position of Obama? Of course not with any kind of complement, fanfare or breaking news caption. Again, such a message does not make breaking news caption because, we have become too engrossed with war, atrocities and other negativity surrounding us to a very great extent, we are gradually loosing our humanity.

Given Obama’s track record, it is without logical doubt that, he is more than any of the remaining presidential contenders the most qualified to lead, renew, renovate and change the fundamental mindset copied from the apparent necessity of our time and propagated by the media. I am talking about the quest for unnecessary wars and inhumanity as a means of showing that we are stronger than our enemies of opponent.

We must not allow this unique opportunity to slip away, on the contrary, it is indeed our responsibility to also become an agent for change just like Obama and host of other well meaning people of the world, by actively supporting him and his ideology of making the world a peaceful place to live in.

Furthermore, he will be in the best position to convince the world leader that America is ready to champion the fight against terrorism, hunger, diseases and proliferation of nuclear arms, but in a humane and essentially diplomatic and compassionate way, that will absolutely resonate and appeal to their conscience, emotion and above all humanity.

Retrospectively, imagine the outpouring of compassion and sincere sympathy in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; People of all races came together for a common goal, to reassure the people of the Gulf area of the United States of America that “we are here to help, empathize and rebuild the area with you”. In the same line of action, one could easily rephrase the sentiments expressed by those who though were not affected directly in a simple way: “behold the people of the Gulf area, your sorrow is ours and your joy is ours too”.

In order for this country to lead again, by conviction and compassionate might, we have to let go of so many things and ideas that have ensnared us into believing that being compassionate is tantamount to weakness.

We must let go of hatred

We must let go of deception

We must let go of negativism

We must let go of war

We must let go of ideologically diabolic method of campaigning

We must let go of the pull him down syndrome (seeing nothing good in others)

We must let go of division

We must let go of racism

We must let go of atrocities against the weak and poor in our world

We must let go of politics of bitterness and evil genius

In its place;

We must accept love, peace and mutual understanding

We must accept unity in diversity

We must accept to help one another

We must accept to live together as one

We must accept to work towards glorifying the essence of humanity

We must accept a minority candidates that is better than a majority one

We must accept the politics of accountability, honesty and factualism

We must accept Obama not on the basis of color but his characters.

I believe Obama will make a great president for this country and he shall bring about the much needed excitement, support, movement, drive, compassion, patriotism, nationalism and the feel good again sentiments into the politics of the USA, finally culminating in a better position country that shall lead the world in fairness, diplomacy, honesty, sincerity and love.

Goodbye war in Iraq and elsewhere.

God bless USA

God bless Obama
