A new Sheriff is in town Barack Obama, so I can skip the "Hill Show"
I wish Hillary and her real supporters nothing but the best but I for
one, will not waste 1 second of my day watching the 3 hours of the
coverage of "The Hills are alive with the sound of removal" cable news
fest tomorrow.

From what I have seen out of Senator Obama over the last 72 hours
I now feel that I have seen real change that I can believe in. From Barack
& Michell's fist bump (after which he gave her a little "ass tap"),
to his speech, to telling the D.N.C. that "the old way is no way
and that the lobbyists can hit the highway," dragging Joe L.
over to the wall and reading him the riot act, and then lastly
putting the press on a plane and then going to "make the peace"
with Hillary I just can't say enough about the man.

He is large and he is in charge. Go Obama! Because after all
he is the "American dream" come true no matter how much
Fox, Rush, and the G.O.P. try to paint him as a "Black Radical."

As for me .... it time for me to go work on my prairies and give
politics a nice little break.




peace

BTW awesome video pass it on

1. He has taken charge and it is really breathtaking.
I was so impressed with him getting the DNC to follow his policy of no lobbyist money and for keeping Howard Dean in place.

I also was quite pleased when he took Lieberman to the woodshed on CSPAN.

The man is fearless and I couldn't think of a better warrior on our behalf in the general election.

2. I absolutely love Barack and my only fear is this current Administration....
and what they may have up their sleeves between now and Jan 20, 09. Nothing about Obama is troubling to me, with respect to beating McCain, Nothing.

3. That is a shame.
Tomorrow Obama is going to pick up his biggest endorsements of the season.

Bill and Hillary Clinton.

4. But he won't be there.......
And I really really like watching him work.

Hillary, not so much.

I'll wait for the reports, and will watch the replay if it is warranted.

I will be doing gardening tomorrow, as well as going to the Gym afterwards. :)

6. Well said, Botany, but what are your
"prairies"?:)

Obama's hanging out with his fam and I think I'll go find a lake to swim in as the weather here in my part of New York will be in the '90's. B-)

8. I think at this point her jaws are locked around the guy's leg.
Her fifteen minutes have been over for five months.

11. If Clinton hadn't been on the teevee
all the damn time for the last three months when she HAD NARY A SHOT AT THE NOMINATION, I wouldn't have thought about her at all.

The Hillary show was very real, and very destructive.

12. Remember when everyone thought Obama would be Bambi?
Because he didn't want to wallow in the slime of negative politics? Dumb asses. He was being selfish -who wants to wallow in slime? He was also proving wrong a lot of old, stupid assumptions.
Like this stupid assumption: being a decent human being with some class and some compassion is somehow being weak/Being a negative, bellicose asshole is a sign of strength.

Those repugs thought they'd be slapping him around until he actually started debating McCain on Iran and the GI Bill and suddenly everyone realized how quick he is on his feet and how slow and out of touch McCain is.Oopsie!
