Posted on Friday, November 7th, 2008 in Politics & Community News - Views: (2732)

Just when you thought America has turned a proverbial leaf, it appears that some big Racist Obama Jokes are floating around.Come on people - aren’t we beyond our stupid petty differences?I mean heck, some people actually believe the guy is a muslim. Barack Obama is neither Arabic nor Muslim. But if he were - what would be wrong with that? Shouldn’t anyone be allowed to run for President in America despite their ethnic background, and their faith?
Shocking Negative Searches on Barack Obama in Google Trends…
Posted on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 in Politics & Community News - Views: (326)

I was taking a gander at Google trends, and am seeing some curious trends right now.There are many bigots apparently ‘afraid’ of an Obama presidency.FACT: Barack Obama is not, and never has been a Muslim. Anyone who says otherwise is Bearing False Witness and breaking a commandment - therefore must not be Christian.Fact: Obama is NOT the AntiChrist, there is no reference to this anywhere in the bible.

John Mccain Out of Touch - He thinks this is normal?
Posted on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 in Politics & Community News - Views: (323)

I know this is a little late for election news, but John Mccain was talking about his mom, who wanted to go to France, so she went to France, she wanted to rent a car, but they wouldn’t let her because of her age..So she went and bought a car, so she could drive around France.Must be nice to just be able to drop a load of cash in a new car out of nowhere, instead of renting one.

The Top 3 Laws of Professional Blogging.
Posted on Friday, November 7th, 2008 in Blogging - Views: (357) The top 3 laws of blogging.

Law #1 is write.Law #2 is write some more.Law #3 is never stop writing!I know this sounds quite redundant. Writing is the untold key to successful blogging.The more you write, the more traffic you get, the more money you make.Yeah, I know sometimes it’s not easy to ‘just write’. Sometimes we want to do other things that we feel are ‘helping’ but aren’t as important.

People are moving their investments from stocks to metals.If you need money to buy Christmas for your family, then selling your gold is a good option.

John Mccain’s Concession was an Eloquent end to a Tough Election…
Posted on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 in Politics & Community News - Views: (185)

As an Obama supporter, I’m very glad that John Mccain did not run his campaign as classy as he did his concession speech.Speaking from Arizona’s Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Mccain told his supporters: “It’s natural to feel some disappointment. Though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours.”I don’t think John Mccain is a bad guy, it’s his policies. I like John Mccain as a person a lot more than I do Bush.

He did it! A New Day has Dawned. Congrats President-elect Barack Obama.

America, I introduce you to the 44th President of the United States of America. Barack Obama. God bless the USA!

I’ve believed the polls, but the pessimist inside me, never would give up. I didn’t believe deep down inside that Change was fully possible. I had my relenting doubts.A relief has washed over me, like none other I’ve ever felt.I feel like a new man. Relating it to Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, it feels like the day after the destruction at Mordor.

Obama’s First Radio Address since the Election: Obama Calls for 2nd Stimulus Package…

November 8th, 2008 Comments Posted in Politics & Community News
the 44th President of the United States...Bara...

Image by jmtimages via Flickr

Chicago– President-elect Barack Obama held his first radio address on Saturday November 07, since winning the general election for President of the United States.

His radio address was held to call for action on his proposals to restore the economy.

In the weekly Democratic radio address, Barack Obama reiterated points that he brought up during a previous press conference held yesterday.

Obama said that he recognizes “we only have one president at a time,” but that “we don’t have a moment to lose.” He called for congress to pass an economic stimulus package, which President Bush has not yet committed to supporting.

“Let me close by saying I do not underestimate the enormity of the task that lies ahead. We’ve taken some major actions to date, and we will need further actions during this transition and subsequent months. Some of those choices will be difficult, but America is a strong and resilient country. I know that we will succeed if we put aside partisanship and work together as one nation. And that is what I intend to do.

Check out the full text of Obama’s radio address(courtesy of Politico):

On Tuesday, Americans stood in lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen. It didn’t matter who they were or where they came from; what they looked like or what party they belonged to – they came out and cast their ballot because they believed that in this country, our destiny is not written for us, but by us. We should all take pride in the fact that we once again displayed for the world the power of our democracy, and reaffirmed the great American ideal that this is a nation where anything is possible.

This week, I spoke with President Bush, who graciously offered his full support and assistance in this period of transition. Michelle and I look forward to meeting with him and the First Lady on Monday to begin that process. This speaks to a fundamental recognition that here in America we can compete vigorously in elections and challenge each other’s ideas, yet come together in service of a common purpose once the voting is done. And that is particularly important at a moment when we face the most serious challenges of our lifetime.

Yesterday, we woke to more sobering news about the state of our economy. The 240,000 jobs lost in October marks the 10th consecutive month that our economy has shed jobs. In total, we’ve lost nearly 1.2 million jobs this year, and more than 10 million Americans are now unemployed. Tens of millions of families are struggling to figure out how to pay the bills and stay in their homes. Their stories are an urgent reminder that we are facing the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime, and we must act swiftly to resolve them.

In the wake of these disturbing reports, I met with members of my Transition Economic Advisory Board, who will help guide the work of my transition team in developing a strong set of policies to respond to this crisis. While we must recognize that we only have one President at a time and that President Bush is the leader of our government, I want to ensure that we hit the ground running on January 20th because we don’t have a moment to lose.

We discussed several of the most immediate challenges facing our economy and key priorities on which to focus in the days and weeks ahead to ease the credit crisis, help hardworking families, and restore growth and prosperity.

First, we need a rescue plan for the middle class that invests in immediate efforts to create jobs and provides relief to families that are watching their paychecks shrink and their life savings disappear.

Then, we’ll address the spreading impact of the financial crisis on other sectors of our economy, and ensure that the rescue plan that passed Congress is working to stabilize financial markets while protecting taxpayers, helping homeowners, and not unduly rewarding the management of financial firms that are receiving government assistance.

Finally, we will move forward with a set of policies that will grow our middle-class and strengthen our economy in the long-term. We can’t afford to wait on moving forward on the key priorities that I identified during the campaign, including clean energy, health care, education and tax relief for middle class families.

Let me close by saying I do not underestimate the enormity of the task that lies ahead. We’ve taken some major actions to date, and we will need further actions during this transition and subsequent months. Some of those choices will be difficult, but America is a strong and resilient country. I know that we will succeed if we put aside partisanship and work together as one nation. And that is what I intend to do.

The Puppy in Chief - a Portuguese Water Dog?

November 8th, 2008 Comments Posted in Politics & Community News
Greyhounds for Obama Walk

Image by JAGwired via Flickr

The Most Anticipated High Level Position in the White House…

The most anticipated cabinet position in the Obama white house isn’t chief of staff. It isn’t Secretary of State, or Secretary of Defense. This one even trumps Vice President.

Yes, you guessed. Chief mutt. There has been some talk today that he might choose a portuguese water dog. Not to be confused with a water horse like the loch ness monster.

Honestly, no offense to portuguese water dog lovers, but I don’t think this would be that good of a choice. They’re just kinda ugly dogs. Sure they may be a hypoallergenic breed - but a yorkshire terrier would be a lot cuter.

Plus yorkies are very smart and talented. I’m sure they could learn enough if need be to take over if both Obama and Biden become incapacitated.

I mean, technically speaking a yorkie’s IQ may trump George W Bush’s. Of course, we might get ‘more of the same’ lol.

Although, on the bright side I don’t think a Yorkie would be as influenced by special interests as Bush, unless of course IAMS started lobbying.

What say you? Portuguese Water Dog? Yorkie? Or something else completely?

First Puppy update: Obama lookin’ for a HypoAllergenic dog.

November 7th, 2008 Comments Posted in Politics & Community News
Bark Obama

Image by djwhelan via Flickr

Today Barack Obama announced that the first puppy will need to be a hypoallergenic dog.

Barack Obama needs a hypoallergenic dog, because his 10 year old daughter Malia has real bad allergies.

Here’s a run down of my top 3 picks for possible hypoallergenic dog candidates for first puppy.

1. Standard Poodle. Poodle’s are very hypoallergenic. Poodles come in 3 different sizes - toy, miniature, and standard.

Poodles have hair not fur which makes them hypoallergenic.

2. Shih Tzu. A Chinese dog, also called a “Chinese Lion dog” is an extremely friendly, compact dog. Shih Tzu’s are good hypoallergenic dogs to have, and very playful.

3. Yorkshire Terrier.Yorkies are a hypoallergenic dog breed from England. They rarely weigh more than 7 lbs. Yorkies have no undercoat and low shedding.

Yorkshire terriers are also very smart and one of the fastest to be trained, and can learn many commands. Yorkies also have a big bite, and tend to take on dogs bigger than themselves.

The Cure to Idiotic Republican Ideology = Education?

November 7th, 2008 Comments Posted in Politics & Community News

Image by Custom Motorcycles via Flickr

Yes it’s true, that college educated people were more likely to vote for Barack Obama, than unedumacated. What’s that tell me?

Fix our education system, and we’ll never have to deal with a Bush regime again.

Makes sense, the smarter our future generation, the more intelligent our Presidents will become. I mean look at Barack Obama. He’s an extremely sharp fellow. He definitely knows his p’s and q’s.

On the alternate side look at Bush and his alter-ego Sarah Palin. Bush can’t even say Nuclear, and Sarah Palin doesn’t know if Africa is a country or continent.

If Jay Leno came up to them and asked them rudimentary everyday questions, they would fail.

Apparently those who voted for them, would fail too. No offense but if you really think Obama is a terrorist, or believed what people told you on the right, then you need to be educated. You need to learn to get your news from both sides and choose which one is right based on all the facts.

I’d go as far to say that each person who graduates from college is a boon for the democratic party, just because they are more likely to be democrat. Not all of course, but more likely. So the cure? Lets get everyone to college!
