The Obama Whistle-Stop Tour

Thanks to President Elect, Barack Hussein Obama II, for taking the time to retrace the route of Abraham Lincoln's Historical Whistle-stop Tour, on his way to Washington DC, where he will be sworn in this Tuesday, January 20th. 2009,as the nation's 44th.President, (and the first African American President), in this nation's history.


From Philadelphia to Washington DC, and all stops in between, thousands of people full of love, hope, and pride lined the route to either hear President Elect Obama speak, or to just catch a glimpse of him, his family, and his Vice President and family, as they slowly rolled by.

Thanks to the over 1500 people who showed their love and respect for the new president in Edgewood, MD. I know that it was dangerously cold and uncomfortable, as I was standing with you on this historical occasion.

And I am so proud of the people of Baltimore, (my home town), who demonstrated how much this new administration means to them by filling up the War Memorial Plaza, and the Inner Harbor by the thousands to show support of the new president, and to be a living part of American History.

Even though there are those who are still afraid, full of fear, and in some cases hate for the new much needed changes that are currently taking place in our country, even they cannot dampen, downplay, or deny the power that is clearly in full force as the result of this movement created by the people of the United States of America, in conjunction with President Elect, Barack Obama, and Vice President Elect, Joe Biden.

Thanks to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the people of the United States for standing up to the powers that be, and the status quo, in order to bring about the positive change that this nation needs in order to insure it's survival.

Above all else, I thank GOD that he saw fit to let me live to see these times.

Last Night’s Presidential Debate 3

First of all, I just want everyone who reads this to know that I am an avid Barack Obama Supporter.

Last night’s debate followed the patterns of the previous 2 debates, in that both men did better in each successive debate.

Last night was no different.

John McCain was better then he had been in the previous 2 debates, but he did not “kick Senator Obama’s you know what” in this debate.

And in order for last night’s debate to be a significant game changer, he would have had to.

In the first part of the debate, I thought that John McCain was magnificent in differentiating his policies and procedures from those of Barack Obama.

During McCain’s Reign, Senator Obama was not active enough in repudiating the statements that John McCain was making, which started to make me uneasy and anxious.

I especially liked McCain’s statement about “I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against George Bush, you should have run 4 years ago”. This was his most memorable statement out of all 3 debates.

However, once Obama got started towards the middle of the debate, I was quite impressed with his ability and his agility at pushing back against the smears that John McCain was trying to disguise as a sincere desire for the truth.

I was also very impressed with the clarity of Obama’s economic policies, and his explanation of his health care policies.

In my opinion, he was very effective at communicating his message to the American People.

And I liked Obama’s response to McCain’s statement about getting him mixed up with George Bush, because of his continuous support of The Bush Policies.

What I think separated the 2 man was the contrast in the level of disdain and disrespect on the part of John McCain, which was written all over his face; and the cool, calm and collective posture which Senator Obama maintained throughout the debate, even when accused of actions that were either not under his control, or that he had already addressed earlier in the week, or that he had already addressed during the primaries, issues like Bill Ayers.

In the final analysis, I would have to agree with the polls that Senator Obama came out on top of this debate by a better margin then he had in the last 2.

But in all due respect to Senator McCain, I thought that he did an excellent job also.

And if it were not for his anger issues, and the fact that I know that a John McCain/Sarah Palin Administration will continue to do what all Republican Administrations do, which is to talk about how the government should not be involved in the problems and concerns of American Citizens, and then talk about how important it is for the government to jump in and help the major corporations that are hurting with more tax breaks; it would have been much harder to pick a winner.

I also know they say the government should not be called upon to do everything; but when it comes to a sensitive personal issue like abortion, they then want to be involved with the problems and concerns of a woman, who has a very difficult decision to make, that should be between her, GOD, her family, her doctor, and maybe the father.

All of sudden they want to dictate her decision to her through legislation.

So I think that the reason that most of the polls are saying Barack Obama won, is because most people want a change, and more people liked what Barack Obama was saying, as opposed to what John McCain was saying.

Love And Peace (Is What The World Needs Now)

Last Night's Presidential Debate (Who Won?)

The last officially scheduled dabate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was completed last night. And, I must say that after 19 debates, things became a little redundent at certain times, but that is to be expected after doing something 20 times.

But inspite of this redundency, I think that the debate was quite informative and very entertaining..

I dont think that we learned very much that was not already known by those who have been following the battle between Barack and Hillary. However, if nothing else was achieved, I think that each candidate did an excellent job of defining and confirming who they are as presidential candidates, and I think that this is very important considering the fact that the last rounds of important primary elections are right around the corner.

I will not say who I think won the debate last night; (that will be up to you, based on your opinions of the 2 candidates performance last night). But I will say this: One candidate had a considerable verbal advantage of the other, and did seem to out shine the other candidate.

One more thing!-The debate, (in my opinion), was the best show on tv last night. We had drama, suspense, humor, disclosure, closure, and many other exciting elements that are missing from a large number of the regularly scheduled shows.

So here’s my question to you: Who won the presidential debate last night:

Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton.?

Mental Preparation For Tonight's Presidential Debate

Hello America.........
Tonight, many honest hard working Americans will be watching the presidential debate, trying to make the best decisions that they hope will change the conditions in this country for the better.
I just thought that I would share some of my thoughts on how I see it, with you.
I will not be recommending a candidate.
I will not recommend a party.
Because I don't see very many differences between parties or between the average politician.
I still maintain, that the candidates are merely pawns that are plugged into the system by those who hold the true power, and are told what they better do, or better not do. Do it right, and you gain favor. Do it wrong, and you get, well!- you get JFK.
There is major evidence to support this view point within the current administration.
The american citizens opinions are totally ignored, and not even considered when it comes to making important decisions that affect us all.
Instead, this administration is being directed in it's actions by the people who paid for the services that led to George Bush being elected as president of the United States, twice.
So I will try to give you something to consider while you are doing your analysis of tonight's debate; not about a particular party or candidate, but about the system overall.

Common Knowledge Verses Uncommon Knowledge
What is common knowledge?
What is uncommon knowledge?
Common knowledge is the knowledge that you received in the school system, on the job, on television, on radio, in the newspapers, from politicians, and from people who received it from the previously mentioned sources
Do you know who is watching you at the top of the pyramid on the dollar bill?
Do you know within what section of this pyramid the president and other politicians are in?
I guess you do know where the common everyday working people are on this pyramid?. –(at the bottom)
It's the knowledge that those who do not look any deeper accept as the truth, although it does not have to be, and in most cases, is most likely not.
It is what most people take to their graves as the most reliable information that you could possibly receive as an earth bound being..
For people who discontinue their learning after they complete school; this stuff is fact.
Some examples are:
All men are created equal, although I believe this is true as far as GOD is concerned, (or whatever you call the force that created the universe). However, when it comes to public policy in this country, this concept is often times lost.
That everyone in one political party is less evil then everyone in another.
That the government is by the people, for the people, and of the people.
That corporations, The Health Care Industry, Politicians and other government officials, have your best interest at heart, that wars are fought just for truth, justice, and protecting the american way, (it's more like protecting someone's wealth)- that there is no such thing as intellegent life elsewhere, (this is mathematically impossible), and that the white house and the president is the most powerful authority in America
Yea Right!
Uncommon knowledge is the knowledge that you obtain through other means, in addition to the sources that are placed before you, or in other words, (hidden in plain sight).
This is one of the most effective deceptive tools used to keep the general population in check, and ignorant to some truths that may not benefit the powers that be, should they be uncovered.
Secrets like, the fact that just a few people are really in control of the masses, and that they control oil prices, food prices, legal legislation, the prescription drugs your doctor gives you, the curriculum that your doctors are trained with, the chemicals that will be put in food, and called a "food product", and other important elements that determine the quality of life for the majority of people and their families in the world. You see!-Government is for sale to the highest bidders. (conspircy theories?)-What do you think lobbyist do? They represent the major financial interest of some of the most powerful people and corporations on this earth.
They buy votes, public policy, cover ups, wars, legal legislation, genocide; etc, etc,etc.
As a matter of fact, the reason that it is so hard for the average person to reach for the stars is the fact that those at the top, pass laws so that they can stay at the top by themselves.
Did you know that Congressman do every day legally, what the average citizen would be jailed for in federal prison.
It's called "insider trading". It is illegal for the average citizen to utilize inside information in order to profit in the stock market. However, congressman get this information on a daily basis, and because they are congressman, they can use this information for profit .
Think insider trading is a joke? Ask Martha Stewart!
The difference is: If we did this, we would not be able to walk back into our lives so easily, and be a star on television, as a matter of fact, the average joe may have trouble getting a job cleaning toilets after this federal offence.
So why am I telling you this?-just to give you something to think about as you try to decipher the rhetoric and bull that you will be hearing in the coming months from the truth , and to share some of the things that I have learned with you, so that you will begin to pay attention to some of the things that we have all been trained to overlook on a daily basis. I also hope that you will be adequately prepared when you walk into the booth in November 2008. The only way to do this is through knowledge.
And finally!-because knowledge is power, and in case you have not noticed, the government is becoming more involved with more and more decisions that used to be of a very personal nature. If people are not alert, how far do you think this trend will go in a "Free Country".
Keep your eyes and ears open, so that you may be one of the few that can discover a way to maintain the level of freedom in this country that our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and friends are supposedly dying for in Iraq
