Sports..President Obama on the Super Bowl

I personally agree with him, even though the Steelers haven't supported me, but just in the fact that Arizona is a Cinderella story, but the Steelers are just too cold right now. What do you think?

Intellect..Something a little different

I'm sure you know by now the first Presidential debate of the 2008 race is tonight..I just wanted to encourage you to watch it. In less than 2 hours from now, these candidates will attempt to further explain their views and what they stand for. It's more important as the United States' financial issues are more of a problem than ever.. Take notice and educate yourself on one of our futures presidents. I will have my review of how it went down after the debate.

Intellect..Biden gives the Thumbs Down to McCain Ad

Barack Obama's running mate says a campaign ad that mocked Republican presidential candidate John McCain as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate was "terrible" and would not have been done had he known about it.

He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail, still doesn't understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class," the ad says.

Asked about the negative tone of the campaign, and this ad in particular, during an interview broadcast Monday by the "CBS Evening News," Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, said he disapproved of it.

"I thought that was terrible, by the way," Biden said.
Asked why it was done, he said: "I didn't know we did it, and if I had anything to do with it, we'd have never done it."

Late Monday, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement from Biden. In it, Biden said he "was asked about an ad I'd never seen" and was "reacting merely to press reports."
Biden said that, as he said in the interview, there was nothing "intentionally personal" in the criticism of McCain's views.


"Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Sen. McCain's ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize, especially when they continue to distort Barack's votes on an issue as personal as keeping kids safe from sexual predators," Biden said.

Biden was referring to a McCain ad that said Obama supported sex education for kindergartners, based on a bill he voted for as an Illinois state senator. Obama's campaign said the ad was a "shameful" distortion of his record because the bill's language meant young children would have been taught about sexual predators and concepts such as "good touch and bad touch."

This is what I don't get, this ad has been out for awhile know why is he just now making a fuss about it? I personally don't think the add is that bad compared to all the negative adds McCain has done. Plus, there are some voter out there who don't know who to use computers..that can actually be a positive for him. Whatever..but what do you think. Was the ad "Terrible" like Biden says? hit me up and let me know.

Intellect..Oops Did I Say That?!?!

After reading a article on CNN yesterday, for the first time I think Obama had a mouth fart.
While in Lebanon, Ohio, Obama these comments to say..

“YOU KNOW YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG, BUT IT’S STILL A PIG. YOU KNOW YOU CAN (CHEERS) YOU CAN YOU CAN, WRAP AN OLD FISH IN A PIECE OF PAPER CALLED CHANGE, IT’S STILL GOING TO STINK AFTER 8 YEARS. WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE SAME OLD THING. IT’S TIME TO BRING ABOUT REAL CHANGE TO WASHINGTON.”

Some are saying that the pig reference was directed to Sarah Palin. CNN is saying that it was in response to McCain for suggesting he can change Washington. The McCain campaign has already already called Obama’s comments a “disgrace” and demanded he apologize to Palin.

Well, minutes after the call, anyone with google was finding quotes from politicians of all stripes using that term – even McCain used it against Hillary Clinton once. I personally think that he was directing the comments at the McCain campaign as a whole, but this quote can easily be taken out of context.

In this case pulling into to the times were everything you say is so important in this political race, Obama could have done without the pig comment, and just went with the fish one and it would have been just as impactful.

UPDATE** Here is Obama's response to the controversy..

What do you think, did Obama have loose lips that day? Or is the media once again making a big deal out of nothing? Hit me up and let me know.

And while were on Obama, I have a mother, and a brother that have gone above and beyond for the Obama campaign. Here is the video of the "Women for Obama Rally" in Oklahoma City.. It's edited by my bro's media company Quinvest (What up Q!). He does a great job with the footage and it truly makes me want to make a difference in my community. (So, Please take a sec to see the the tremendous efforts of these women)
What was the last thing you did for this political movement or your community?

What more do you want in one night...

Democratic National Convention: Day 3

Here are some moving Joe Biden moments:

"You know, John thinks that, during the Bush years, quote, "We've made great economic progress." I think it's been abysmal. And in the Senate, John has voted with President Bush 95 percent. And that is very hard to believe"

"Even today, as oil companies post the biggest profits in history, nearly $500 billion in the last five years, John wants to give them another $4 billion in tax breaks. That's not change. That's the same."

"He voted 19 times against the minimum wage for people who are struggling just to make it to the next day. That's not change. That's more of the same."

Our greatest presidents, from Abraham Lincoln to Franklin Roosevelt to John Kennedy, they all challenged us to embrace change. Now it is our responsibility to meet that challenge.

And then.... (Hit play)

I mean after that all I could hear was Archie's Song (singing) "We ready, we readdddy, we reaaady, for ya'll"

For those of you who don't remember...

Today is also the 45th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech..nobody but God could have set this up.. So, I'm defintley "Readdy"...tonight. There nothing else that could be anymore important.

Intellect.. More Than A Woman

Democratic National Convention: Day 1

So, I going to give you a little insight on what the happs were during the convention and my opinion of what was relevant.

Ted Kennedy spoke tonight, and barely left a dry eye in the house. Obviously, the show stopper was Michelle Obama. She truly gave an inspirational speech.

Statements that stood out with me:

"All of us are driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do-"

"And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."

"They'll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes, instead of our fears. How this time, how this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming. How this time, in this great country -- where a girl from the South Side of Chicago can go to college and law school, and the son of a single mother from Hawaii can go all the way to the White House -- that we committed ourselves, we committed ourselves to building the world as it should be."

I feel that just like Barack has a quality that inspires, she has a quality that inspires. To say that you can't do it ALL in such a way to make you feel that tomorrow is what your are waiting for..to change everything. I can say her speech will forever be remembered by me and others. So take a moment to think about yourself and figure out how you will make your mark on tomorrow...

Hit me up and tell me what you thoguth about the DNC tonight..was it what you expected. Was there something that stuck out in your mind?

Intellect.. 2nd Place Winner?

So just to school some of you who don't know, the Democratic National Convention will be coming up on the 28th of this month. This reason I mention this is because Hillary Clinton has recently on announced that even though Barack Obama is the presumed Democratic candidate, she will put her name on the ballot at the Convention...

The crazy thing is I'm not surprised by the news that she's on the ballot, I was surprised she actually had the kahunas to do it. Long before Hillary and Barack were the candidates that mattered a friend and I had a discussion about how the end was really gonna play out. Let me paint the picture for you..



So of course, it was going to come down to John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. Then we took John Edwards out of the picture because his wife talked to much, and ultimately he had his opportunity at a presidential run, as well due to his wife's illness he didn't spend enough time on the campaign trail. So, with it down to Hillary and Barack, my friend said Hillary I said Barack, but he has to win it before the convention, then I thought about it..and realized they are going to try to pull something off crazy. And now it's staring us right in the face.



If the delegates all of a suddenly have some kind of epiphany about Hillary and decide to go with her they actually can mess a lot of things up for Barack. My thing is people don't normally jump off bridges unless the have a parachute. MSNBC commentators said she wouldn't get any votes because of what the delegates have to be accountable to their constituency. But the delegates have the right to change their minds. Like I said, Hillary wouldn't put her name on the ballot if she didn't have a plan.



When all is said and done, Barack is still going to when the nomination, but more delegates than you think will vote for Hillary, and that's just the bottom line. I personally, think that in her mind she wants it all and will sell her soul to the devil to get it. She is like that bug you squashed and spllattered with your show, and ten minutes later somehow ends up taking a walk in your shower or sink. Relentless. Hillary wants everyone to know how relevant she is to politics right now and that's what's soo sad about this situation. How would she feel if Barack did that to her?



So that's kind of how I feel about it. What do you think, do you think Hillary will steal some of Barack's delgate votes..Is she being a sore loser or is she just trying to get what's her's in these historical political times? Drop me a line and let me know.

Being a woman that's really trying to do the career thing, this election has really got me digging for answers to all my questions. I think every election should be like that but especially this one. So, my question that I was digging for yesterday was where the candidates stood on equal salary pay for all genders and races.

In any case both candidates talk the "Big" talk on giving women equal salary pay. As a voter, I don't want the talk I want the action.

The opportunity was given to both candidates to vote on legislation recently, that would have made it easier for women to sue their employers for pay discrimination.

So when all the talking was said and done Obama supported the bill; and McCain opposed it.

"I'll continue to stand up for equal pay as president - Senator McCain won't, and that's a real difference in this election," Obama said.

McCain has said he supports equal pay for women but had said the measure would lead to more lawsuits.

Obviously, I don't know the ends and outs of the piece of legislation, but what I do know is women have been getting the short end of the stick for decades when it comes to salaries and it is still a major problem.

At least, Obama is proving how serious he is by supporting legislation that tries to get women where they want to be. (Seen as equals on ALL fronts)

Intellect..

According to CNN, John Edwards is definitely on the short list to be Senator Obama's running mate. Edwards said that he wouldn't rule out running for VP a second time.

When asked about the vice pres possiblities John Edwards said Tuesday,“My answer to that is, I’ve run for vice president, I’ve run for president twice. I would do anything that I felt I could do to serve this country but I think it’s a huge presumption for me or anybody else to suggest what Senator Obama may decide,” he said.

“To answer your question directly: I don’t expect to be asked, have no expectation about it at all, I will – anything that Senator Obama asks me to do, including this, including campaigning for him, I intend to do, because what I’m going to do, I intend to take seriously,” he added. “What I intend to do is everything in my power, use everything in my power to make sure that he’s the next president."

I personally believe that it would be a good look for those two to run together, no offense to Hillary. I think that John Edwards has a likablity that I think Hillary hasn't tapped into yet. Plus the Clintons come in pairs of two. You can't have one without the other.

But, it could be just me. What do you think?

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Of all the current presidential candidates, single women would most like to see Barack Obama naked, followed by John Edwards as their second choice, according to a January 2008 survey by Engage. Hmm, very interesting.
