barack obama

Obama has several bits in the news today. One of them is the fundraising tactice of donating 5 dollars or more which earns a chance to go to the convention. Obama considers it not gambling but some in the state government do.

For almost the better part of my life, America has been involved in some sort of conflict. Whether it is the end of the Cold War, the initial invasion of Iraq, the War on Terror, or now the "New" Iraqi War, America and our western Allies can't seem to "stop the bleeding".

The kind folks at The Biography Channel recently provided us with an advanced copy of the Barack Obama Biography that went on sell at Wal-Mart today. I had a chance over the weekend to sit down and review the biography in full and I have to confess that I'm glad I did.

The most prevalent opinion I see around me, whether it be out and around town, or at my office, I hear far too many people say the same thing - "There's just no one to vote for". Excuse me?

I think that if John McCain wins the presidency this November, I am leaving the country. Next year, I am graduating from high school and going off to college, and I will probably try to spend as much time abroad as possible. Why? Because I believe that, if elected President, John McCain will hurt America.

First there was the Tim Russert Wake and Memorial Service:
The funeral cost to the nation was too great.
Maria Shriver read the poem....The Little Ship.
It would be wrong not to repeat it.

"The Little Ship"

I woke up this morning and checked my e-mail, as I do every morning, only to find another disgusting chain letter claiming that Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim who hates America, refuses to hold his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance and was inaugurated while placing his hand on the Bible.

Welcome to my very first blog on Progressive.com. I would like to start it of by getting people's input for the upcoming election. I personally intend to vote for Obama because he has promised to fight against incentives given to companies for outsourcing, a personal hot button for me. He has also promised to attack the influence that special interest groups have in Washington.
