Yes We Did!

We Are the Ones Song by will.i.am



Keith Olberman made a point tonight to say “This is our generation’s ‘Man on the Moon’ moment.”
I sat in my chair and tried to think about what is my generation’s moment before this. When men got to the Moon, a new generation of exploration and technology was born. Our generation was given 9-11. Not just the day, but we were given a generation of fear, mutual hatred, and religious persecution.
Not Anymore!
America was reborn tonight. 51 million (and counting) pushed a monitor and selected Barrack Obama. I did it. But watching the election results unfold, it finally hit me what I had done.
The reasons I chose this person were because I was tired of the era I was given. I was tired of that fear, that hatred, and that persecution. I was tired of hearing thousand upon thousands of Americans were losing their retirements, their homes, their very lives to corporate greed. I was tired of the politics that came from Reagan, to Karl Rove, to Swift Boats.
Yet, as the results unfolded, stories emerged that I never thought of. Minority Americans voted in record numbers as Black Americans started dancing in the streets. Then it hit me what this moment also brings as history makes past moments seem ancient when it was 144 years ago when Black males were given a right to vote. However, they were still restricted until the Civil Rights over 40 years ago. Twelve elections later, we just voted in the first Black President.
Yes We Did!
Obama spoke in his acceptance speech about the boycotts in Alabama, the hoses in Birmingham, and the Preacher from Atlanta. Now just 4 decades later, we just might have turned a corner.
Yes We Did!
We were practically told to hate this man. “Palling Around With Terrorists”, “Rev. Wright”, and “Socialist”. How can he possibly make it through when weaker opponents would have been dismantled? Can his message play like a torch in a dark cavern and pass the political jargon.
Yes We Did!
The wounds are still there. McCain consented to his crowd of thousands that Barrack Obama “is his President”. The crowd booed. Obama graciously paid tribute, in front of 160,000 plus revelers, to McCain’s sacrifice and how we needed John McCain in government. The crowd followed and paid the same tribute. For the majority – I like to believe the hate is gone.
Yes We Did!
President-Elect Barrack Obama did not pump his arms to the heavens, hold a newspaper headline, or grab the first baby to kiss. He was solemn, dignified, and cautious. For there‘s work to be done to repair Main Street. Then Wall Street. Fixing the alliances with our allies that have been stretched to the battles of our enemies. New generations don’t come without their obstacles.
And for that – Yes We Can!

Round II

I thought Obama won the first debate, but by a smaller margin: A- to B I think I said. This one I think Obama won with an A and McCain gets a D. Especially at the beginning of this debate, McCain seemed really tired and old and he was muddling through his words. He wasn't avoiding the questions like Palin, but he was answering them with a long convoluted speech containing every talking point he had.

I think one of the answers he gave talked about energy, the war, and healthcare...in a question about the bailout. I kept having to remind myself what the original question was.

On the other hand, I think Obama gave the best performance I've seen him give. He answered the questions great. He tried hard not to retread on old points as much as possible and he was very forcefull and commanding when he needed to be. No mistakes either...

The biggest point is that McCain just looks beaten. There is just something about him and his campaign that looks terrible right now. I just hope he realizes that the way to win is not to put Obama's life at extra risk by trying to link him to terrorists.

Stick a fork in him

This election is all but over. Phew.

Veep Veep!

Again, what in god's name is she talking about? Forget the fact that this is incoherant from an English language perspective. (I'm sure her high school English teacher is rolling over in her grave.) The fact that she wants to expand Dick Cheney's already dangerous VP role into the other two branches of govenment is very scary. I MIGHT hire her to run a yogurt stand. But for her to be put in charge of three branches of government? Wow. Um, No.

Nuff Said

So he will veto every bill that comes across his desk and he will make them famous but he just voted for a bill with tons of 'pork' in it but we need a President to veto bills like this and McCain suspended his campaign when Obama phoned it in but McCain was only in meetings for 5 hours in 3 days and his campaign never was suspended and Obama was in the exact same meeting at him just at the end of the table? I think I get it.

Questioner: "But sir, I just asked if you wanted mushrooms on your pizza..."

Joey: "ATTACK THEM!!!!!!"

By the way, did you notice the barely hidden contempt on McCain's face during this interview? Looks very familiar...in fact...that's how he was looking at Obama on Friday! I bet anything that he hates her guts and wants to kill whoever in his campaign talked him into this woman. He has to!

Elect this woman..please!

Of course I mean Tina Fey.

Thank God for McCain

John McCain was wrong and Barrack Obama is right. I should try and get Biden to repeat this 100 more times...oh wait.

Today's financial meltdown is the mortal wound. The Palin/McCain camp should really consider dropping out and saving some money. In addition to the VP debates on Thursday, today's 700 drop in the DOW HAS to be the proverbial straw. John McCain didn't 'phone in' his vote last week. Actually, he did quite the opposite and rushed to DC to fix everything. Most importantly, he was to go to Washington and unite the GOP. Well, that didn't work. In today's vote, here is how it broke down:

Yes No
Democrats 140 95
Republicans 65 133
Total 205 228

Oops. Was it juts me or wasn't McCain supposed to deliver the House Republicans? How can he lead the nation when his own party won't listen to him?

I could write Obama's ad for tomorrow using these clips:

"This bill would not have been agreed to had it not been for John McCain... This is a bipartisan accomplishment, a bipartisan success. And if people want to get something done in Washington, they just watch John McCain. He's been the guy whose name is at the top of major pieces of legislation for a long time."
-- Mitt Romney, NBC's Today show, 9/29/08

"What Senator McCain was able to do was to help bring all of the parties to the table, including the House Republicans, whose votes were needed to pass this"
-- Steve Schmidt, NBC's Meet the Press, 9/28/08

"We're optimistic that Senator McCain will bring House Republicans on board without driving other parties away, resulting in a successful deal for the American taxpayer."
-- McCain spokeswoman Kimmie Lipscomb, 9/26/08

McCain...out of touch...too damn old to lead. I am Barrack Obama and I approved this message.

To quote David Letterman "Something stinks in this campaign. Something just doesn't smell right."

The First Debate

Yeah, yeah, foreign policy. We're good, terrorists and Iran and our economy are bad. Obama A-, McCain B.

Someone mentioned a VP debate next Thursday? Sarah Palin vs. Joe Biden? That is something I might have an interest in, please tell me more...

Palin will not have a prompter or Rovian speech writers and won't know the questions going in you say? Like in her wonderful, delightful prime time interviews? Yes, this is definitely must-see TV! It will preemt both 30 Rock and The Office on Thursday, but I boldy predict this debate will be TWICE as funny as the two shows combined.

In fact, my current "Favorite TV Comedies" list is currently in this order:

1. Sarah Palin dry-heaving out "answers" to "tough" questions in prime-time.
2. The Office
3. 30 Rock
4. The Daily Show
5. Late Show with David Letterman (this one jumps back onto the list this week for obvious reasons; sorry Colbert, you'll make it back here soon.)

The Great and Powerful Wanda

OMG...OMFG...JC...OMFG

I know it has become cliche but John McCain scares the shit out of me.

Health care in this country is sucks. We are the most wealthy country in the world and yet we rank in the twenties in health care and we are behind third world countries for infant mortality. Why? I believe this is because we are part of the "me first" society. I have had several conversations with conservatives and they all believe that health care is a personal responsibility. Unfortunately, that responsibility has become one of the most expensive household expenses for Americans. Over 16% of American income is spent toward health care. I simply cannot agree with this tenant. I believe that health and health care should be a right and not a privilege. Health is life and all Americans are granted life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

In addition to the financial meltdown, McCain (who's advisers led the legislation to deregulate banks) is now saying that deregulation has helped grow our economy (?) and he believes that the health insurance industry should be deregulated as well.

"Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation." as quoted in Contingencies Magazine.

So our health care system is already a CLUSTER and now McCain would like to deregulate that too?

The other issue about McCain's health care that has me queasy is the fact that he would like to make our employee provided health insurance benefit part of our taxable income. From that new taxed income, he will give everyone a check for $2500 to purchase health insurance in the free market. Health insurance doesn't work in the free market. It is a service that requires a large number of healthy people funding a pool for a smaller portion of unhealthy people. What would happen is that those people who NEED health insurance, i.e. the very old, the very young, and the very sick, would be the only people funding the pool. The healthiest Americans, traditionally 18 to 35 year olds often see themselves as indestructible and would take that money and use it for things other than health insurance. They are also the group to be the least likely insured. Thus creating an adverse pool of money because more would come out of the pool than was going in. That is why large employee based health insurance plans work and small companies struggle. One bad pregnancy or one person with cancer would cripple a small business's health insurance policy. If McCain is elected, I can only imagine how we would have to bailout the looming health care crisis. I think the deregulation experiment is over and shouldn't be repeated in industries that require oversight.

Don't blink

This was from 9/15/08. Hilarious and scary at the same time.

Energy "Expert"

What in god's name is she blathering about? And what does "fungible" mean?

"Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first,” Palin said. “So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first," - Sarah Palin, Energy Expert and University of Idaho graduate in sports journalism.

Faux News

For some reason this part of the interview struck me as funny. Hannity asks Palin about her specific role as VP and she basically lays out the broadest set of duties possible: “I will focus on energy independence and reform overall of Washington and tax cuts for Americans and reigning in spending.”

Then, amazingly, he presses her for specifics, and after trying to bypass the question by saying there is not enough time to explain it all, she takes it down about 10,000 notches and says that her duties will include “helping families with special-needs children and being able to strengthen our National Institute of Health…”


HANNITY: Governor, have you spoken with Senator McCain about your specific role in the McCain administration?
PALIN: Sure have. I'm very excited about the role that I will play as his partner. And I will focus on energy independence and reform overall of Washington and tax cuts for Americans and reigning in spending. The...
HANNITY: These are specific roles that you already talked about?
PALIN: Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
HANNITY: That you will — you will take on as vice president?
PALIN: Right. So I'd like to talk about each one of them. And I wish we had hours to talk about this also.
HANNITY: I have nothing to do.
PALIN: OK. Good. Because another thing that we'll talk about also is the role that I will play that is very near and dear to my heart. And that's helping families with special-needs children and being able to strengthen our National Institute of Health also and find cures for presently incurable diseases.
But, first and foremost, an energy independent nation. We must get there, Sean. It is a matter of national security and of our future prosperity, being able to quit relying on foreign sources of energy to feed our hungry markets when we have the American supplies and we have the American ingenuity and we have the American workers to produce these supplies of energy.

Just The Facts, Palin. Just the facts.

After watching the interview, doesn't Palin seem to give responses that a child would with their hand in the cookie jar. Though never asked tougher second questions, at least ABC News did a fact check video: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5786925

Laughable!

I watched that interview last night. Palin is laughable. I’d like McCain and the Republican pundits to take a lie detector test and say yes or no whether they think she is ready to be president. No way they would pass.

She defended the “Alaska is close to Russia so Palin knows foreign policy” argument by saying that they are neighbors and that you can see Russia from Alaska’s land. Oh...good.

She also basically said that if Georgia joined NATO, we would have to go to war with Russia if they attacked again. She is seriously George Bush in a dress- both in intelligence, speaking style (Nuc-you-ler), and policies. I can’t wait for the longer interview tonight. That's good watchin'!

This excellent point is from http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/:

A reader writes:

After watching that interview, can anyone honestly say that they think that Sarah Palin, the person who would take over the country in the event something happens to McCain, has more knowledge of policy than Charlie Gibson, the person giving the interview?
And isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Soccer

In Nate’s game yesterday they played against a team with a couple kids that were really good. So for almost the whole game Nate’s team didn’t score at all. It was probably 7-0 (although they don’t keep score.) As comparison, his team normally scores at least 6 goals.

A side note- when I was explaining to Nate about scoring goals in the games, his first question was “Will they hold me up on their shoulder if I score one?” I guess he saw that in a movie or TV show. He asked me about that a bunch before his first game two weeks ago.
Anyways, so yesterday there was about one minute left in the game and his team had the ball down on the opposing end in a crowd of players. Nate kicked the ball through the little crowd and then followed it like he is supposed to and then kicked it in at the “buzzer.” Everybody cheered extra loud because our team finally scored a goal and Nate’s coach lifted him up on his shoulder to carry him back to the side.

You have never seen a bigger smile on a little kid! He had a Christmas-morning type smile on his face. He was even happier when he saw that the post-game treat was a chocolate donut.

Lies and the Lying Liars

WARNING: This post is going to be slightly longer than I think a typical blog should be, but I couldn’t sleep last night and I need to get this off my chest. I know that I should be focusing my rage on John McCain and how to make sure that he is not going to be the next President but quite frankly, I am more worried about the right-wing extremist Sarah Palin. As Alec Baldwin so eloquently wrote at The Huffington Post, McCain isn’t Bush, Palin is.

Not only does Sarah Palin lack any foreign policy, economic, and legislative experience, she also lacks the ability to tell the truth. She has been off-limits to the press for almost 2 full weeks because the McCain people are worried about a gaff. I think this plan has started to back fire. Because she has not been subjected to being interviewed, all the press has been able to do is research and if you are a ‘typical’ republican politician, the last thing that you want to happen is have your past researched. More and more trash continues to pour out of her sorted political history.

As highlight to her complete lack of experience and knowledge in economic issues, Sarah had spewed this gaff just yesterday:



Unfortunately for these straight talking mavericks, the government has only been running Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae since about 8:00 eastern on Monday. So tax money hasn’t been used until yesterday. These two companies were run as if they were autonomous businesses and received profits in good times, but they also enjoyed federal protection in bad times. I understand that this is a small mistake but two things strike me as interesting. #1 – She is reading this speech which means that is was PREPARED and #2 – I understand Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and I am an idiot. I don’t want someone only as smart as me helping make financial decisions in a time that can/should be compared to the great depression.

I am absolutely sick of hearing how McCain and Palin are reformers and Mavericks and running for change. Disagreeing with someone 10% of the time is not dissention nor does that separate you from your party. To run on a reform ticket and anti-pork barrel spending, you better not have hired a lobbyist that helped your town of 10,000 earn over 27 million dollars in earmarks. That is the definition of pork barrel spending! Although, since both GOP candidates are so familiar with how to get earmarks, they would both understand how to spot an earmarked bill. I wonder if John McCain would veto Palin’s 27 million earmarked bill? Even FauxNews gets it:



There are so many lies, half truths, and delusional speeches that it is hard to pick my favorite, I do happen to enjoy the “She sold it on eBay” bit. However, Palin only stated that she ‘put’ it on eBay. She had to do this more than once and it never sold. That is a minor lie I guess, but it is the pattern that makes me the most fearful. McCain on the other hand, knows the truth (unless he didn’t properly vet Palin) and he still lies. I stand by my statement that he will do and say anything to win:



The more I see the more disgusted I get. I can’t even imagine another four years of this economic strife, unemployment, and energy crisis. Something has to give. I am glad that McCain, if elected, will tell the lobbyists “a change is coming.” The only problem that I see is he is literally SURROUNDED by lobbyists. At one time he had nearly 60 lobbyists that were feeding him information (including the lobbyist from Georgia). Most of these lobbyists have clients that a vested interest in securing that alternative energy is not part of McCain’s energy policy. Sure, he states in his speech that alternative energy is necessary, but he has included exactly ZERO dollars in his plan. This is a plan that is published on his website. He talks about clean coal but he isn’t going to help us get it.





I love Obama. I must admit that I voted for Hillary and even donated to her campaign but I am convert. I am inspired by this man but I want Obama to stand up and stop allowing the GOP to slam him. He needs to start shitting on McCain unapologetically and without refrain. Run ads that show how McCain has flipped. Hell, I can find them on YouTube. Start showing how Palin was for it and then against it. I know you are saying these things in your speeches but damn it start running some GD ads. The mainstream media is not doing what they should be doing. They need to be challenging McCain at every turn and they are not. They are more interested in applause lines like the dog wearing lipstick BS.

The GOP won’t hesitate to step on your throat and Obama shouldn’t hesitate to step on theirs. Democrats have been on defense since Palin’s speech. ENOUGH! Start kicking Palin and McCain in the balls. This has to end and it has to end now. This country can not afford another four years of W.

Will the Real McCain Please Stand Up

Follow your folly

Here we come to save the day....

Here come da' Clintons:

Polled

I know it doesn’t matter that much at this stage, but it still makes me physically ill that McCain could have received a bump out of the convention and that he could actually be leading in some polls. Our country is ridiculous sometimes. I can’t wait till the debates though- then people will see how ridiculous their policies are and that half of the things they said in the conventions were lies.

I loved all of the comments by people who watched another Palin speech at a campaign stop yesterday. NPR asked a couple of them what they liked about her- "I like that she's a mother of 5..." "I just love that "pitbull with lipstick" line!"

I guess Palin appeals to the sitcom crowd out there, she gives them one stupid joke with a laugh track and they will love her forever! YOU IDIOTS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER!!!!!!!! Not one of them said "I like her stand on ___________" Ya know why? Because they don't know her stand on __________ because she hasn't given her stand on __________.


All I have to say is ______________________!!!! (You can fill in your own words for that one.)

I kissed a girl

This is like a joke sign from The Simpson's. But nope, it's real.

Sarah Palin scare the sh!t out of me

I love Biden. I can't help it. He might be my political man crush.

How dare you....

This interview has sparked quite a controversy. I had sent it to a few people before but this is really uncomfortable to watch. If you couple this speech with the New York Times article about what McCain learned about Sarah Palin AFTER he had picked her as his running mate.

According to NPR, this interview is what has sparked the McCain campaign to fight against the media which again is in stark contrast to what McCain used to call the media, "my base." Remember when this whole thing started and he was having BBQs and invited them on the "Straight Talk Express?" Well, Candidate McCain has change again. Now the media is evil. In retribution to the above interview, John McCain pulled out of the Larry King Show and has started on this crusade of how the media is 'liberal' and out to get him and poor Sarah.

Question of the day: If Chelsea Clinton would have been pregnant as a teenager, do you think the GOP and conservative would have given her the free pass the Palin has received? This whole situation kind of reminds me of how we can't ask McCain hard questions because he was a POW. So we can't challenge McCain on anything because he was a POW and we can't challenge Pallin because she is a woman and her daughter is a pregnant and yet there wasn't a single piece of policy in McCain's address last night. What can we challenge them on? Hair color or cut?

I also find it odd that Palin has not given a single interview yet. She is officially 'unavailable' to the press because she doesn't know anything yet. She has to be primped and preened by McCain's people and they have to have her ready for the debates. They don't want her to go on TV or in the press and say something stupid.

The Freudian Slip that just won't go away.

Slumber Party

Community Organizing

Stewart

Sarah Palin is a Jerk

Good God! Way to introduce yourself Sarah! Are you always so condescending, sarcastic, divisive, and shrill? I was happy to see that the exact words that came to my mind when hearing her were echoed by a few others, including Harry Reid. She belittled everything Obama has ever done in his life.

Did the DNC speakers belittle McCain for thinking that being a POW qualified him to be president? NO, they didn’t! Here is a quote from the e-mail that was sent out from David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager:

I saw John McCain's attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.
But worst of all -- and this deserves to be noted -- they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.

Let's clarify something for them right now.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.

And it's no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.

Also, two unrelated people, Keith Olbermann and Andrew Sullivan, BOTH compared Palin to Tracy Flick from the movie Election, especially when she does that little nose wrinkle thing when she is saying something really nasty. Voters can’t really buy this crap can they? (Oh wait, the same voters RE-ELECTED the worst presdent in history in 2004, so I guess anything is possible.)

Check out this video. This is what the pundits really say off the air. It's what everyone else is thinking, but they don't dare say it on the air, just on commercial breaks.

Oh, and another thing, if you have a microphone attached to your shirt, ASSUME IT IS ON!!!!!! Has Jesse Jackson taught you nothing?

VP Death Race

Will somebody please tell me...

I have been giggling like a school girl since Friday when he announced that his running mate would be a school girl. Don't get me wrong, I am very pro-woman and would love to have a qualified woman in the white house. This is not a qualified woman by any stretch of the imagination. What if they actually win and McCain dies? Our nation would be handed over to Gov. Palin. A person who has had 20 months of governing the least populated state per square mile. Lest we forget her extensive foreign policy experience by keeping the Russians from storming across the Bering Strait. Maybe she is the reason that we haven't had a full scale Russian invasion.

I am not questioning John McCain's patriotism, I am questioning his judgment! Besides the fact that neither McCain nor Palin even know what a VP does.



(the whole thing is interesting by check out 2:53.)

Couple this with: "The only job of the Vice President is to check on the health of the president daily and attend funerals of foreign diplomats". - John McCain

Sucks for the GOP. They are going to lose more seats in the house, senate, and now the white house. Oops. Eight years of skull flucking the American public into submission won't pay at the voting booths.

I know that the 'Rank and File' republicans are fully behind John McCain's choice for VP. I get that. What I don't get is why the republicans are self-deprecating. They are allowing John McCain to champion the fact that he voted against the republican party nearly 10% (whoopee) of the time and both McCain and Palin are constantly talking how they are willing to go against party lines. Does that seem strange to anyone else? "We don't agree with you people and we are willing to not do what the party wants!" From the crowd: "Yea! Woo! You are right, we kind of suck!"

Palin is a reformer, I will give you that too. As a mayor of BF-Alaska, (population just shy of 10,000....which is nearly 1/3 of the employees at the University of Utah BTW) she went to Washington and 'reformed' for earmarks of nearly 27 million dollars or nearly $2700 per resident of her little town. She has also 'reformed' the hell out of programs for unwed mothers and comprehensive sex education. What a reformer!

In all seriousness, McCain's selection for the Vice President does more harm than good for woman of our nation. He is using her and I believe that he is setting her up for failure. McCain's strategy has been clear..."anything to win." He will literally change his stance on anything and everything depending on who is asking him the question and who is in the room. Anything to get a vote. Oh, and by the way, if you question him on anything, remember that he spent 5 years in a POW camp and nothing else matters.

I do not believe that being a POW or having 5 children make you qualified to go to the White House. John McCain has extensive experience as a senator but his judgement must be cloudy or the Palin pick is simply an old desperate man trying to make it into the White House. My concern is that he cares so little for the American people that he would give us a VP candidate that would hurt us as a country.

Trophy Wife

"Well sure, look at it! Young trophy wife, I mean, in the parlance of our times..."
-The Dude

John McCain has made history. He has both a trophy wife AND a trophy vice president. This is epic. Dan Quayle was a handsome devil, but I wouldn't call him a trophy. As for Barbara Bush...nevermind.

I'm looking forward to Sarah Palin's speech tonight, if only to see if she pulls out the "my road was paved by Hillary Clinton" line that earned her some boos last week. She may as well try it. The GOP cyborgs applauded when Joe Lieberman talked about some of the great work that Bill Clinton did as president by crossing party lines. Bill. Clinton. Applause. GOP convention. Never thought I'd see the day.

This whole Palin fiasco is like watching that part in Titanic when the ship snaps in half- you knew the boat was sinking, but did it also have to break in two?

(I figured I should reference the Blog's name and the Big Lebowski in my first entry. You're welcome!)
