barack obama writes to me almost every day

PICTURE THIS: A folksy, self-consciously plainspoken Southern politician rises to power during a period of profound unrest in America. The nation is facing one of the half-dozen or so of its worst existential crises to date, and the people, once sunny, confident, and striving, are now scared, angry, and disillusioned.

Michelle Obama called me a couple of weeks ago Doreen. I hung up on her. I thought it was a telemarketer. Only as I put the phone down did I realize who it was.

Sorry about the irrelevant rambling.

Still, my older sister's husband is voting for Hillary for one reason and he is very adamant about it...He will not vote for an African American, period.
Yeah. My sister too is a staunch hillary supporter, because of her "experience". Heh. She's proud that her spouse is voting for Hillary, and she doesnt care why he is voting that way.


He and millions of other racists, disguising their ignorant fear as race prejudice. These are the folks who will vote for Hillary now, and then McCain later, because after all, Hill is a woman....yadda yadda yadda.
It's all planned. Get Obama out, then obliterate Hillary on the basis that she is "Female" and therefore unable to handle the war, etc. Believe me, women wlll buy into this bigtime once Hillary is the candidate, it will change all their little basically co-dependent minds. "ooo yes, we need a man to deal with it, we don't have the credibility that men do in the middle east.." and....bla bla bla.

The repubs are being quite obvious about this strategy in my opinion. Again, Hillary and her camp's judgement is way way off, just like it was when she voted for the war, and endorsed NAFTA until it was time to run. It's all very weak!

If anything, it's becoming crystal clear, that Obama is showing us how unfar we have come regarding the race, and fear issues. I mean he is the real change, the real deal for the American people, and the 545 are darn worried about it!

I can only hope now, in my unrealistic expectations, that Nader will jump in between this mess the dems have let materialize, and clean it up with a clear, stunning, and overwhelming win.
But again, I expect too much!!!!!

And just an added note, I still think that if Hillary had been in Obama's spot, with all those wins, and all that voter turnout and fundraising, she would be the nominee now and he, would have been outed long before Pennsylvania. This is I believe, a tremendous insight that the meda avoids owning up to!

It's how it is in America and you cannot do anything about it. When you talk about it, you're told to shut up, that it's unpatriotic and that you are bad. At least that is what members of my own family say to me...I mean, hell, they (my family) tell me to shut up, and they act embarrassed when I mention that for the past 5 years I haven't had any health insurance, even though I have been working the whole time until less than a month ago!
Whoa. I just don' get it.

I guess when Hillary says she would obliterate Iran if they attack Israel she is trying to establish her street crediblitlity, that she has the balls to to do the job.

I feel so burned by Kerry, the son of a bitch sleep walked through the campaign until the last month.

I feel funny criticizing Obama cause he is a better man than me. I am just praying that he will not sleep walk through this one. I think he has a real chance to win. He just needs to be more politic when he is preaching to the choir.

Something about Obama, Lincolnesque. Maybe it just because he is tall skinny and ugly.




There were twenty seven senators that had the perspicacity to vote against the war. Not one of them was a candidate. I find that very curious. Biden, Dodd, Edwards, Clinton every senator that ran this year voted for the war. (obama was not in the senate at the time) I find that interesting in a morbid kind of way.

Nader? I don't think so Hes.

I would still vote for Hillary is she gets it, she is still a woman and I would like to see a woman president. Maybe it is my sexism, Margaret Thatcher is a woman, and so was the Witch of Buchenwald.


I am going to keep on keeping on with Obama, but I don't expect much.
I have decided to live in despair and die in hope.

on a totaly unrelated and off the wall personal note:
It has been years ago since I had the dream hes, it was a very nice dream I woke up feeling refreshed. There was this black guy in the dream, he was a college student, now that I think about it he reminds me of Obama. When I woke up I had the feeling that it was Christ I was dreaming about. How weird is that?

I will try to edit this for typos asap.

I don't know what has happened to me hester, I just can't get as worked up about politics and football as I used to. I wonder if I have had a stroke or something or maybe I am just getting old and complacent?

I think that after seven years of Bush I am numb. I can't feel anymore outrage.
I just saw him on the news, my mind recoils in disgust at the sight of him. No matter what I won't have to look at him anymore after next january...

I hope you find something good to do and with health insurance too. I forget how good I got it, you know medicare and all that.

Sen. Obama: “I believe we need to use all elements of American power to pressure Iran, including tough, principled and direct diplomacy. That’s what John F. Kennedy did. That’s what Ronald Reagan did when dealing with the Soviets, and that’s what the President’s own Secretary of Defense wants to do. Understand, George Bush’s Secretary of Defense suggests that we talk directly to Iran. So, I don’t know if George Bush is calling his own Secretary of Defense an appeaser. I don’t know who he’s talking about.”

why does 'Bama love Reagan?
I don't get what he's talkin' 'bout.

what did kennedy do for cold war 'cept makeit hot!
