Sickening Racist Obama Jokes floating around the web…

Sickening Racist Obama Jokes floating around the web…
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.

The Obama campaign has just released a statement that Obama’s maternal grandmother Madelyn Dunham who was influential in raising him, has passed away.Barack Obama visited his grandmother a week ago, as she was severely ill. I’m just glad he got that chance, in his busy schedule to at least say his goodbye.This is the official statement from the Obama Campaign on behalf of Barack Obama and his sister:”It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer.

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.

Yes, I’m a geek, and I can say that all my cynicism, and pessimism about the state of America has been washed away in a tidal wave named Barack Obama.

I’m so happy to see this day come, I’m white, and the fact that he’s black isn’t the biggest issue to me, but it is a big win for all African Americans. The biggest issue, is the end of the Bush administration’s failed policies.

An end to the Iraq war. To unequality in healthcare. To a possible living wage someday instead of a minimum wage that keeps people poor.

This is change, on a drastic level.

I’m listening to Obama’s acceptance speech right now, and he’s announced his children have earned the new puppy that will be coming with them to the white house. I must say as a dog person, I’m glad to have a first family that is as well.

I am saddened that Barack Obama’s grandmother didn’t make it see this great day. I’m sure that in the heavens above she is rejoicing at this great moment, and is very proud of her wonderful grandson.

I’m very impressed by John Mccain’s very touching, and moving concession speech. He said all the perfect words, and called for an united America.

I’m excited to see the next 8 years play out.

On a side note, I’m also happy to see Kay Hagen win out against Elizabeth Dole. After seeing her ‘godless’ ad running, and the rebuttal from Kay Hagen who has taught Sunday school, and is in no way a ‘godless’ candidate. I think there has been a mandate from the people, that we are tired of negative character and association attacks. That we want to hear candidates talk about the issues.

I’m also excited to see a filibuster proof congress, and the demise of the republican party in bulk. It may take decades for them to make a comeback, if ever.

I would love none else than to see the 2-party system disappear altogether, and see people run based on their own merit instead. I don’t know if we’ll ever be ready for that, but it would be exciting.

I just want to say that this is one American who after 8 years of shadow, is once again proud to be an American. Honestly, there were times over the past 8 years that I’ve been ashamed to call myself an American.

Now is the true dawn of a new day, it’s as if a hundred years of winter is fading, and spring is blooming. Spring is blooming in my heart. Call me sappy. (Excuse the Narnia reference, refer to the confession of my geek status).

We need to take this chance that we’ve been given, to go 100% and make the difference. We’ve been given a clean slate. We have been given an opportunity. If we waste this opportunity, then we will never have another chance as big as we have now. We can now work together and make this country relive its hayday. We can go back to those days.

Bottom line. I have hope again. I have faith. I believe in our New President. I believe in Barack Obama. I believe that we can do it. God bless all those who’ve made this possible, the divine hand of Providence is clearly present in this great election.

Kinda brings up the 8 houses that he has. We need a Pres who knows where the little guy is coming from, and John Mccain definitely doesn’t get it.

The results are in: Dixville Notch votes for Change.

November 4th, 2008 Comments Posted in Politics & Community News
The Balsams, a resort hotel in Dixville Notch ...

Image via Wikipedia

Not that it really matters, but Dixville Notch New Hampshire. A podunk town in New Hampshire, Dixville Notch has cast it’s votes for twitter” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview (’/outbound/twitter.com’);”>Obama(I mean podunk in the nicest way).

How many votes you ask? Well, eh… Obama got 15 votes and Mccain got 6 votes.

This isn’t really indicative of much, except that not many democrats have won Dixville Notch in the past, which could mean more rural support for Obama, than originally thought. However it’s still a little early to call it in his favor over Dixville Notch.

I kinda like the name Dixville Notch, definitely an interesting and provacative name for a town. How would you like to live in ‘Dixville’..sound it out…

I just hope that this is a good omen for Obama. I voted on the 2nd of October, and am thankful I don’t have to wait in the lines tomorrow, but if I had to, I would. It has never been more important time to vote.

Now is the most historical election of our lives, perhaps of the entire United States History. You can be a part of it - but only if you vote.

Also if anybody tells you to vote by phone, or that you’ll be arrested if you have outstanding tickets, or that you’ll disrupt your financial aid if you vote, or that Wedsneday is the real day for you to vote– IGNORE THEM.. Report them to the authorities. It should be considered TREASON to take away people’s right to vote.

Apparently David Cook is more popular than John Mccain…so says google trends

November 2nd, 2008 Comments Posted in Announcements
Saturday Night Live

Image via Wikipedia

Tonight John Mccain & David Cook were both on Saturday Night Live. (David Cook is a Singer from American Idol - in case ya didn’t know - I didn’t lol)…

Lookin’ for a topic to blog about, I head on over to Google Trends, and what did I find? “David Cook” #1, “Mccain SNL” #2. Which says to me that people care more about American Idol, than they do about who will be the next President. Of course there were two google trends listings for Mccain, the other being “Mccain Saturday Night Live” at #12. Can you add the two together and make Mccain come out ahead?

I dunno, that sounds fishy - like the way Mccain’s internal Pollsters called Mccain ‘functionally even’ with Obama. It just doesn’t fly…

UPDATE: I apologize regarding the American Idol comment(lots of impassioned comments) - my point to be made was that more people seem passionate about this David Cook, than there are for Mccain. Of course, I can see why after watchin’ on youtube.
