Barack's Letter To His Daughters

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me--about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

He then goes on to address education, the environment, war, and the lessons their grandmother -- his mother, Ann Dunham -- taught him.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better--and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

He concludes by echoing the message in his victory speech on November 4th.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Love, Dad

The Best! The Worst! the Funniest! The Most Absurd! And my Favorite: The Idiot of the Year.

So much to choose from. So many to choose from.

So now through the New Year I will choose the winners and losers of 2008.

Film will probably come later as I have too many to catch up on. Many of the best and worst seem to appear in December so off to the cinema's I will go.

With a little help from the Huffington Post, Keith Olberman, MSNBC as a whole, film sites, and YouTube I will share these Best and Worst 0f 2008.

Today The Person of the Year:

Is The Person of the Year 2008 obvious? Well I have a tie. But the tie is tied together. We the People and Barack Obama.

We, at least the correct WE, voted the Man of the Year and He inspired us to do so. He gave us a new voice in catastrophic, home and abroad, times. So though I say he is the Man of the Year Barack along with US is the PERSON OF THE YEAR!
