President Obama...Mission Accomplished

I thought I'd take an opportunity to reflect on last night's historic events...I'm truly overwhelmed with political and personal joy that our country has once again demonstrated that our democracy beats all odds...and proves that truly transcendent leaders can do the extraordinary...The 44th President of the United States...Barack Obama. This is our new First Family and I couldn't be prouder that my vote was one of the millions that helped to make this happen.

I've always been proud to be an American and have always felt fortunate to be able to live in this country, but as I sit here today I can honestly say I've never been prouder of our country and our ability to do the right thing...Our country is facing huge challenges and this is exactly the person we need to lead us back to prosperity. I've been very interested in this election from the onset. After beginning my adult voting life with the Clinton administration and seeing how great things could be in this country, I was extremely opposed to the Bush administration and have been praying for the people of this country to stand up and put an end to the politics of fear, the policies of intrusion, and the pandering to financial friends. The Bush Presidency was nothing more than a profit-seeking mission from the start...just as I had predicted back in 2000 when the election was stolen fraudulently from Al Gore...and I wonder sometimes just what could have been.

Republicans...IT'S OVER! You bastards have run this country into the ground the past 8 years and have turned a blind eye to the crimes that have been committed by President Bush. John McCain's campaign was a complete train wreck...and we all thank him. How someone could logically go into a voting booth and cast a ballot for any Republican candidate is absolutely unthinkable to me...It's time return this country to prosperity and peace...I think I've heard that somewhere before...Democrats...It's our turn once again.



To me it was clearly evident early on that Barack Obama is a once-a-generation politician and a leader to which people my age have never seen. I prayed each day since the primary that he would emerge as the Democratic candidate and ultimately be elected the President...Last night, my prayers were answered. At 11:00 pm est last night when they announced his election, tears welled in my eyes...Images of African-Americans celebrating in Chicago, Harlem, and Atlanta were so striking and monumental. I realize race was a factor in this election, but the magnitude of this victory was ultimately immortalized in the images before me on my TV...Seeing the tears of Jesse Jackson, the look of amazement and wonder in the eyes of Oprah, and the eloquence of the words of Congressman John Lewis, made me realize how historic this moment was. I've always felt, maybe somewhat naively, that I was a part of the first largely colorblind generation...and last night, I really feel I was proven correct. Yes this election will open up opportunities for all ethnicity's and genders, but I also took a moment to reflect on the importance of the great civil rights leaders whose blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice have made this moment a reality.

Election Day...Watching It Unfold Live

This was a cool feature I saw being discussed yesterday on MSNBC, so I thought I'd use it as I watch this historic election unfold live...Bring on the Blue...

Rock The Vote

I couldn't wait any longer...and didn't want to wait in long lines tomorrow, so I voted early today...

At the very least my early vote disqualifies me from this...

Botic The Robo Flip-Flopper...Even More Lies!

John McCain ('Botic') has got to be the biggest train-wreck of a Republican Presidential Candidate in our country's history...and I just can't seem to peel myself away from a daily peek at this tragic scene...It is beautiful...And we thought Bush was bad? This guy may end up taking the cake...His latest stunts are infuriating, yet strangely comical...It's completely obvious to anyone with a shred of intelligence that he doesn't have a reasonable, tangible platform to run on, so he's left to engage in a typical Republican tactic when you're against the ropes...Go Negative!

I know McCain is shriveling like a prune on the campaign vine and it's easy for geriatric candidates to forget things, but he's been caught flip-flopping so many times in just the past few weeks, that it's hard for even his supporters to keep track of his constantly changing positions on major issues. It's been well documented that he doesn't know how to use a computer, but apparently no one on his staff told him at the onset of the campaign that they invented something called VIDEO TAPE some time ago...and if you lie on the campaign trail, it will come back to bite you quickly...Information is shared and disseminated rapidly in this digital age, and apparently 'Botic' doesn't understand these things will eventually BURN YOU...



Then, his Campaign Manager told the press that..."He (McCain) doesn't speak for the campaign"...Uh, then who does? You're telling me that he's not responsible for owning his own media gaffes? This guy has gotten a big-time free pass from the major media up to this point, but someone in the Obama camp better start retaliating with something soon...He's recently ratcheted up his negative attack ads on Senator Obama, this time taking them to all-time lows...Who's responsible for $4/gallon gas? According to 'Botic'...It's Obama! That's right America...Barrack Obama is to blame for this mess.



But wait...I thought that John McCain told us that he was the 'Straight-Talking', Eco-Friendly candidate??? Wouldn't more oil platforms and exploratory drilling in Alaska be a potentially huge threat to our environment? What do you think happens to these oil rigs when they're damaged by storms and hurricanes??? THEY SPILL IDIOT...See Katrina for evidence...So who do you want to be portrayed as this week 'Botic'?





So what's made this 'Maverick' of a candidate flip-flop this time? MONEY...Specifically 'Big-Oil Money'...injected directly into his campaign funding. How surprising...So now he's on the take and making bed fellows with the same brilliant clowns who have laughed all the way to the bank during the past 8 years of the Bush Administration/Profit-Seeking Mission...He knows that off-shore drilling will do absolutely nothing in the short-term to lower gas prices for the now scooter-riding public, but he continues to align himself more and more with President Bush each week.



I've said it before...This strategy may end up being the right move, especially if he's able to dupe the 'Sheep' into believing these lies...I'll continue to pray for the betterment of humanity that he's unsuccessful...So, who is John McCain and what does he stand for??? Apparently he can't even tell you...He's chosen to ride this jet stream of negativity as far as it will take him, changing his positions whenever its convenient for him...Want proof?...Check the tape.

More Lies From 'Botic'...

I was wondering how long it would take the inept man with no chance...'Botic' the Robo-Republican...to try to capitalize on this situation...

Barrack Obama has just returned from his overseas trip and it only took 'Botic' a couple of days to throw together a completely false, lie-filled political TV ad claiming that Obama 'skipped out' on seeing the troops when he had the opportunity. This statement is totally false and this ad shouldn't even be allowed to be aired...What happened to "I'm going to run a clean campaign, free from personal attacks on Senator Obama"...Well 'Botic' you've shown your truly 'robotic colors'...you have no platform to run on, well...other than the whole 'I support the troops, war, and surge and Obama doesn't...You see 'Botic', you should get the facts straight before peddling your lies to the uninformed 'Sheep'...although I understand this is part of the mind-control plan of the Republicans...

Keith Olbermann touched on this very subject last week on 'Countdown'...and I'm sure he's laughing too that it only took you a couple of days conjure up this crap cocktail...According to what he said...and I believe him...The State Department wouldn't allow Senator Obama to visit the military hospital in Germany, due to some rule that outlaws political campaigns in these hospitals...not because no cameras would be allowed...oh, and it needs to be said that the State Department waited a convenient 24 hours before his scheduled visit to the hospital, to alert Senator Obama of this rule...So don't blame him...THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW HIM TO VISIT THE TROOPS 'BOTIC'...You also conveniently failed to mention that Obama called troops at the hospital...despite being turned away...hardly constituting the outright ignorance you claim.

Enough with the lies you shriveling, over-aged, piece of crap prune. You are a completely pathetic, bold-faced lier, who's truly a sorry excuse for even a Republican candidate...I hope and pray each day that you don't convince the 'Sheep' to vote for you and your lies come November...This country will continue to plummet down the drain should you be our 'Commander in Chief'...

Ready To Rumble - Obama vs. The GOP McBush Robot...

The Political Primary Season is over and it's time to get in the ring. While it's true that I love sports, I've become even more interested in politics in recent years...And who could blame me? The utter debauchery, better known as the Bush Administration, has systematically screwed nearly all of us over the past 8 years...Pulling the wool over the eyes of the legions of sheep-like Americans that chose to drink the White House Kool-Aid, subsequently allowing the piss-filled pitcher, "W" to crash through the walls and pillars of prosperity that the Clinton years seemed to build for us...OH YEAH!

You're damn right I'm going to take interest in this election. I'm only one vote, but at least I can make my voice heard and use this space to rant and rave about my views on politics and my utter disbelief at the direction of this country...



In fact...I may be going out on a limb here, but...After watching the debates and many television interviews...I truly feel that John McCain is a Robot (or "Botic" as I've nicknamed him)...Programmed to convince the same idiots that voted to put Bush in office the past 8 years to vote for him to continue his policies...All you need to do is watch the way he moves and speaks and you'll be convinced...He walks upright and stiff...His arms barely move...he talks out of the side of his mouth...He pounds on podiums, waives his arms and fists around like a dictator, telling the sheep "We will never surrender"...? The fact of the matter is that he offers nothing new to the American people...As Barack Obama has said, he's running to carry out a Bush third term.

It's so obvious. The guy has admitted on camera that he doesn't know how to use a computer...His temper has been called into question...and he's been busted numerous times "Flip-Flopping" (a GOP favorite term) on his exit strategy for the war and his support of Bush's policies...His latest comebacks? He says Obama is running for a second term of Jimmy Carter....? Uh, Botic...most of the folks that support Obama probably weren't even alive during his presidency you dumb ass, but nice try. Oh, and his latest commercial is priceless...Waxing on about how he doesn't like war? And the relevancy of the Grandpa that died the day after he returned is...? I'm puzzled by this.

To hedge the horrible possibility that this man may be elected President, I may need to pick up an "Old Glory" policy...Robots, and especially this Botic model has been known to eat old people's medicine for fuel...err maybe that was the gas bag drug addict Rush...? Can't remember. Either way, robots can strike at any time and when they grab your wool with their metal claws...you can't break free. If this guy gets elected...I'm moving...out of the country.
