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

Tonight's the Night...It Won't Be Just Any Night..A Night I've Longed For All My Life!

Civil Rights for All starts tonight.
Civil Rights for all men and women of every color, race and creed...and sexual orientation.
Tonight dreams come true.

And I have a word for GAY men and women who I hear repeat the bs rhetoric of the vast right.

Barack is not a Muslim. I hate writing that because what the hell is wrong with Muslims. 19 fanatical fools created havoc on 9/11. 3,000 Americans were killed. They happened to be Muslim. Would you like me to name you 19 morons and killers from other religions? I can do it!!! From every religion...YES I CAN! Test me if you want. Hitler was raised a Christian damn it. And for the record gw, cheyney and rumsfeld killed more than 3,000 Americans since then. They did it with lies and bs on top of bs. They are the REAL FANATICS in our country. And one of them was reborn!
Stop using the n" word to describe him. You show a sign of being of lesser intelligence. Do you like being called a fag, a queer, a fairy etc. etc. I DON'T. Do you really want a continuation of the current moron's idea to make a constitutional againt you...US? I DON'T! Start thinking with your heads and not your butts.
Those who were for Hillary get over it. She has now asked you to support Barack. If you are a woman think about your reproductive rights. If you are gay read the above paragraph again and again.
If you are working class check your wallets and credit card debt. Are you better off today than you were before this current bs administration. If you are, well lucky you...if you are not start figuring out why you are not. The answer is the republicans.The last eight years of a fool who on 9/11 sat still for 8 minutes because he did not know what to do! McCain is 4 more years of that idiot and his policies. McCain is trigger happy and a war monger. Do you want more war? Do you want to pay for more wars. Start thinking everyone. Get over your pre-conceived notions that the right has driven into the country's dialogue. They don't want you to think. Call their bluff and for god's sake THINK!!!

And three last words for all of us...SUPREME COURT. Think!!!

Introducing Michael Wilson

How BRILLIANT is the Obama campaign!
They chose a lifelong republican, an air force vet and more important an Iraq war vet to place Obama's name into nomination on the convention floor.

Hillary does it again asking the delegates for acclamation of Barack.
