WTF? Moment






When I ran across this video I was confused, upset and then laughed.


Confusion: What did she just say? Is she on med's?

Upset: Why would you put an idea about you being able to still have a chance because like Kennedy, Obama could possibly die as well. Now these psyco KKK people are gunna have a field day with some shit like that. I already wasn't going to vote for Hillary but for sure aint now; why vote for someone that puts negative energy like that out there?

Laughed: She's an idiot and just cemented her loss. The only way Hillary realizes that she has any chance of winning this election is if Obama is killed. Well that's not happening just like Hillary getting into the office isn't either. She tryin to do some Biggie/Pac shit. Obama aint stupid though, he's just going to let her fade into oblivion.



YES WE CAN!

Update



Come on Obama you can do it and YES WE CAN get this man in office!

Obama wants your Voto!



I have no idea what he's saying but it's nice to see that a candidate is whiling to speak to those who don't speak English. I agree that if you live in this country and can vote you should be able to speak English, but Obama is smart enough to see that reality is many of the citizens in our country do speak primarily Spanish.


A change gunna come.

Update: I had the video on the page but it was too big for my frames. Just click on the link if you want to see it. Kind of interesting though I don't understand it. I feel like im listening to Pit Bull talk. Just kidding.

African Americans ignored in History.




Like much of history, people of Color in the United States have played a key and extremely important part of building this country, literally, but are failed to be recognized by mainstream America. Film in particular, the text book and only source or knowledge for people now a days, has always overlooked the need to include people of Color in important roles especially those that are "suppose" to "tell history".

“Spike Lee has launched a bitter attack on fellow filmmaker Clint Eastwood for failing to include black soldiers in his films about the Battle of Iwo Jima.

The Malcolm X director insists African-American soldiers should have been included in Eastwood’s Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima since hundreds took part in the 1945 battle for the Japanese island.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Lee said, ‘There were many African-Americans who survived that war and who were upset at Clint for not having one (in the films). That was his version: the negro soldier did not exist. I have a different version.’”

Throughout the war years Blacks repeatedly had to battle adversaries on two fronts: the enemy overseas and racism at home. Black Americans recognized the paradox of fighting a world war for the "four freedoms" while being subjected to prejudicial practices in the United States. We were working and fighting for a country that didn't want us but still rallied to show our devotion and support to the "United"States of America. How do we teach "Democracy" and the notion of "Freedom and Justice for All" when we can't/couldn't even do it ourselves. Well, thats hypocrisy.

I wonder if the film says anything about the Navajo code-talkers and Nisei translators. If not, Clint messed up bad.

Too Old to Run



If McCain, 70, runs and wins, he would be the oldest person ever inaugurated as president. As is evident from the scar on the left side of his face, he has had malignant melanoma, the most invasive and dangerous form of skin cancer. (One in every 60 Americans is at risk for developing invasive melanoma in their lifetimes.)

McCain is a joke. First off he's 70. Will he even make it past inaugeration if elected?? We need someone young and vibrant with new ideas able to lead this country. The President is a figure of the United States. Their appearnce, more than anything, is a key indicator to other countries that we have a person of power in that position representing the U.S. If the face of the President is someone older who looks like they could
kick the bucket any time now then that sends out the wrong message.

Obama on the other hand is in perfect condition besides the fact he smokes, but he is attem
pting to quit. SMOKING IS BAD! - but not as bad as a republican or Hillary winning this November.


Update: WASHINGTON- U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's health was in an excellent condition shown from his latest body checkup 16 months ago, his doctor said on Thursday.

Chicago internist Dr. David T. Scheiner, who has been taking care of Obama's health since 1987, summarized his 21 years of medical records in a letter released by Obama's campaign.

According to the letter, the Illinois senator, 46, has no "excess body fat" for he being a regular jogger.

He also had an excellent blood pressure at 90 over 60, and healthy cholesterol level at 173 compared to the normal level of under 200, the doctor said of the result of the checkup in January2007.

YES WE CAN!



Obama is making Hilary and McCain look terrible! Yesterday in Portland, Oregon Barack's campaign reportedly broke a presidential campaign rally record with over 75,000 supporters. I know Raven would have liked even a 1/4 of a attendance like that for her concerts.

Looks like your boy Obama's gunna be in the BlackWhite House soon.

celeb's for Obama

I saw this music video a while back when it first came out and I had to put it on my site.
I just want to say that this man has changed my outlook from his goals and visions. He's the most passionate person to come along in American politics in a a long time and there are great leaders that pass through our world and I feel he is one of them...YES WE CAN




Barack Obama must be our president....
not to be the leaders of the free world
not to have low gas prices
not to finally have an intelligent person in the white house (though that would be great)
and not to 'oust the republicans'
but so we may survive....
