Barack Obama wears a lapel pin... He seems to be walking in his footsteps of his mentor and chief Richard M Daley.
The Chicago Mayor has the unique ability to respond to political winds and make his city work. Now Barack has been seen on the campaign trail wearing a Flag lapel pin.
It shows he his willing to give up silly little things that may not get him elected President.
I've never been starstruck before. I see a lot of bands and a lot of "celebrities." In fact, the entire idea of it makes me ill. We're all just people. To watch the way "celebrities" are treated- ick. So what if they can sing or act or play ball? Tonight, I went to see Barack Obama speak. *sigh*
With all that's happening, everything seems to be twisting and turning. This presidential campaign is extremely stressful: the pressure of voting, who to vote for, and what they stand for,of course.
Changes come as leaves fall from the trees
Another way to "get through" to them
Said with a chuckle
Amongst coy responses
Told to say what we might take
In stride to look like cake
Like a bad plot in a movie
This talk cant be real
Are people really listening intently?
Look at their faces as these words
Jumble out of lips built for lies
I gave a manuscript speech last week. (Pick a speech that already exists and redeliver it.) I wanted to share it with all of you, because it is an oldie, but a goody. ;D
[I am also going to add the introduction I wrote for the speech.]
A new study released today states that 81% of its respondents believe that the country is on the wrong track. Apparently, this is the highest number since this study began—an annual survey that started over a decade ago. How is it that it took this long for people to realize the regressive motion we are moving in?
When Jeremiah Wright recently came under fire, Senator Obama quickly denounced him. He jumped on the Romney/Kennedy-esque religion speech as the media continuously played tapes of Wright's fiery rhetoric over and over. Reporters used their adjectives of choice in attempt to distance themselves from Wright in spite of their love for Obama. A frenzy erupted over some minor—and honest—quotes.
The unthinkable has happened in this election. There is a black man and a woman running, John McCain got the nomination he could not get when he was eight years younger and the most credible candidates in both major parties are no longer contenders in the upcoming presidential election. Despite all of this, no one would have expected Monica Lewinsky to endorse Hillary Clinton!
