It is no secret that I was strongly against Obama. We fought. We lost. We shall mourn, and then we shall stand up and move on with the rest of the country.
All I can do is hope I was wrong about Obama. For the sake of this country, I pray I was wrong.
This video is almost 11 minutes long, but is an interview with an attorney who has filed suit against Barak Obama stating that he is not a "Natural Born Citizen" of the United States, and therefore cannot be the President of the United States. Though, I do not know how true this is, I do agree with the Attorney that if is wrong, then why won't Obama just produce his birth certificate and his immigration documents?
His grandmother from Kenya claims he was born in Kenya. Barak claims he was born in Hawaii. However, when his mother remarried and moved to Indonesia with her family it is questioned whether Barak's citizenship was moved to Indonesia. Though he could have regained his US citizenship upon returning to the U.S., he would no longer have the "natural born status" required to be the President.
I think it is appaling that a Judge would not require these documents be produced prior to the election! How many many Americans believe that Joe Biden would win the election? Seems to me that if what this man claims is true that Obama is just handing Biden the win. Very unfair. But in all truthfulness....I'd rather see Biden than Obama.
In large part that is because you are home to my favorite show, Grey's Anatomy, but more recently, you posted a quiz on your website allowing Americans to vote on issues, without knowing which candidate made the statements they voted on. Basically, you took the "personality" out of the candidate making us choose based on who with actually agree with. What a concept!
I encourage everyone to stop by and take this 13 question quiz where 2 statements on the same issue are compared. Each presidential candidate made the 2 statements, but you are not enlightened on who said what until it is all over. (Though a few of the questions are obvious).
I was nervous, but in the end I agreed with John McCain on 11 out of 13 issues. So, nope! I won't be changing my vote.
This possible President of the United States !! Read Below and ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!!
Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!
From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!
***I have not read either of these books, and cannot guarantee the accuracy of these quotes. Instead I suggest that you do as I intend to do, and check it out for yourself.***
Remember, every time you point a finger, there are 3 more pointing back at you!

Someone needs to remind America of the little saying our moms taught us when we were young. VP Candidate Sarah Palin is under fire now because her 17 year old daughter is pregnant and not married. Now, in no way am I condoning premarital sex, but really, who in America doesn't have a friend of family member who hasn't gone through the same thing. I know my family has...I got pregnant with Madison as a 17 year old senior in high school. And just as Sarah Palin described of her daughter, I had to grow up much faster than my parents ever intended.
Again, I have to say I am guilty of this also, so if nothing else, I believe I will be reminded and learn several life lessons during this 2008 campaign. How funny it is that we are quick to point fingers at the other side, and make light of the same (or similar) situations on our side. For instance, boy did the Republicans (myself included) have a field day when President Clinton admitted to his affair with Monica Lewinsky. But to Democrats it was simply "no big deal." "He was just being a man." And now that the tables have turned it is a HUGE deal to Democrats that Bristol Palin is pregnant, and simply a "mistake" to Republicans.
The truth is, it was a mistake. President Clinton made a mistake. So where do you draw the line? What is an acceptable mistake, and what is not? In my opinion Sarah Palin should not be held responsible for her daughter's mistakes. I can certainly vouch that my parents were not responsible for my decision to have premarital sex. In fact, quite the opposite. Just is the case that Barak Obama should not be held responsible for his IGNORANT preacher's comments. (But should be questioned as to why he continued to sit through those sermons, that were obviously more political than Biblical.)
So as of now, I will sit quietly and think things all the way through before I point any fingers in any direction.
Presidential Candidate John McCain just threw the most beautiful curve ball I have ever seen today when he announced Gov. Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential Candidate! She wasn't even in the running yesterday. I mean, I guess she was, but I didn't know about it (obviously).
Boy, did he hit it out of the park!
Sure, no one knows her...but I bet there have been A LOT more google searches on her name than Biden. She's sparks an interest that no other candidate has, since Obama's first appearance on Oprah. She is beautiful. She's a mom of 5 kids and most recently a son with down syndrome. She's so down to earth...got her start as the president of PTA. (How's that for empowerment. It's like Erin Brockovich all over again.) She was Miss Alaska at one time. She is a member of the NRA, and is married to an Eskimo. Really, has there ever been a more interesting vice president?
Okay, really I'm bouncing on walls, and it shows (my writing is all over the place). But I just thought I would reassure Mr. McCain (my number 1 closet reader) that he had made an excellent choice!
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG TO BRING YOU NEWS ON THE 2008 ELECTIONS.
I am aware that it is not kosher to discuss politics and religion at work or a dinner party. But I googled it, and didn't see anyway where that it said it wasn't kosher to blog about it, so here I go!
I am 95% Republican. I don't believe I am 100% of anything other than Christian. So as a general rule, I vote along the Republican lines. That being said, I have swayed on an occasion. November 2008 will NOT be one of those occassions. I will certainly not vote Obama-Biden, for many reasons, some educated some just good ole gut feelings.
I tell you that to go into these 2 topics: Know. I Mean Really Know Who You Are Voting For and McCain VP Pick. Which do you want first? Well, too bad, we are going to go with McCain first.
My Take on McCain's VP Choices Rumor has it John McCain will choose his VP running mate tomorrow. Who will it be? In the running are former candidate Mitt Romney (not a horrible choice, but not my first pick), Former Penn. Governer Tom Ridge (is he really going to help?), Minn. Governer Tim Pawlenty (who?!), and former Dem. Senator Joe Lieberman (my personal choice).
Why Lieberman (besides to prove to Damian I don' t have a problem with Jews I just choose not to go to their church)? Hello, it just makes sense! There are Democrats out there who are not ready to vote for Obama, (maybe because they think he's Muslim, maybe because he's black, maybe because he's not Hillary) but for whatever reason, they aren't willing to wear his shirt just yet. So let's through another Democrat (yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, former) in the mix, and give them a ship to jump to! Republicans are happy, they have McCain, Democrats are happy, they have Lieberman (or had, again whatever) and Independants are happy, they've got Lieberman.
So Mr. McCain, if you happen to stumble upon my blog, (because I know you are a closet reader...I just know it.) and you want my personal opinion...McCain-Lieberman 08!
Know Who You Are Voting For! Nothing, I mean almost nothing, okay some things, but not a lot of things piss me off as much as knowing that there are THOUSANDS of Americans (some educated and some not) about to make the most UNEDUCATED vote of their lives. I cannot tell you how many people in the black community I have heard say they are voting Obama simply because he is BLACK! Are you kidding me!? He didn't grow up poor, he doesn't understand your ghetto lifestyle anymore than John McCain. He isn't going to be able to empathize with you more than me just because he is darker than I am. What is that!?
I don't have a personal problem with people voting for Obama because they believe in what he stands for. On that, we just agree to disagree, and I continue to respect your opinion. But for those who would elect a man as first in command to one of the largest nations in the world simply because of the color of his skin. It's just sad.
