Obama

Is he for real? What do you think? I think for the most part, he is for real. He has NOT spent his entire life in Washington D.C. He is quite intelligent. He thinks like most of us; that we need to find common ground, give those that disagree with us credit where we can, and stop attacking people with whom we differ. Who should get on board, and support Mr. Obama?
This is what I think, and I'll state in advance that some consider this view naive. It's not. I am basing what I think on what I have seen so far from Mr. Obama. If he changes his position, and/or approach, I might as well...here goes...

Are you sick of being screwed by lawyers, and corporate fat cats? Are you tired of being combative in ANY important U.S. issue? Are you afraid to get sick! Our health care system only benefits those who are well..don't get me started! Do you disagree with the premise that the Iraq war is in our (or anyones) interest? Do you want to TRY to build unity as a basic political approach? That is, who isn't tired of the liberal/conservative, rich/poor, red state/blue state, black/white America we have been force feed for the last 20(?) years. You may not agree with all his positions, (when will any two people agree on everything?) but maybe you should consider supporting him. Is this a pipe dream? How in the world does he plan to pull this off if he gets elected? He plans, and is already aggressively building, a popular support base, a grass roots movement. If most of us support his ideas the fat cats loose. He plans to be in full swing this summer.

An intelligent, articulate president. Popular, grass roots support. I think it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Facebook

I think I'll move some of my "personal update" posts to Facebook. I can also use it easier if I'm really wanting dialog on something, since I can send it directly to other Facebook members. It's worth a try anyhow! Then, if I want to post something political, or philosophical, I'll put it here...videos also. That may work out better. If your not already on Facebook, sign up! ...Angel, and Jamie... :-)
It's kind of cool.

Video

I am surprised I have no comments on that last video. Either no one reads this any longer...kind of looks that way...or worse...fear...

I hope not...anyhow, I think I'm done...goodbye.

The religion of fear

This guy is an atheist, so you might imagine I don't agree with a lot of what he has to say. This; however, is interesting and intentionally provocative.

So Sick!

They started me on new antibiotics last week that made me sicker! I still had the lung infection, but the meds gave me a bad headache all the time, as well as nausea. I was down all weekend. This was depressing, I felt like I could not win. Anyhow, I called my doc about this and he changed my script (to Keflex or something). Anyhow, this is working. I feel SOOOO much better! I am very thankful. Maybe this junk is finally getting beat. If you remember...pray it does.

Check the next post! The video sums up what Obama is trying to accomplish. I hope he succeeds.

The Message.......

Are any other Presidential candidates saying these things? Absolutely not!
AND, he claims to NOT be taking PAC money.

I have been reading the Biography of Ben Franklin...
Based on what I'm reading there, this is not fluff,
it is what this country was founded upon.

Red State Update: Earth Hour

Well. I guess Google was just celebrating Earth Hour. I would have liked the black...this is funny though.

Google!!!

I like the new black Google sign on screen! Do you?

I am still fighting this lung infection...pneumonia? That's what they think. I'm on a second round of antibiotics.
I'm much better, but still am congested, and short of breath. I also get tired easy. So it stinks. I can't exercise, so I am getting in even worse shape. Ugh.

So enough complaining. I bought an ancient Roman coin from an Ebayer. We had some email exchanges where he told me he had 2-8 weeks to live...so it's all relative, huh!

Sean, on "Interact" (URL?)...check the comments...he added a google chat to his blog. It's cool, I might add it as well..when I FIGURE OUT HOW. :-)
