Radicals like Jessie Jackson wanting to remove his gonads don't matter. He has to make things happen.

He isn't even the president elect yet. The electoral college could still elect someone else and it hit him. What John McCain said about letting the Bush Tax cut (actually the Senate Tax cut, they wrote it) makes sense now. John doesn't sound so senile now. And BO has now gotten religion. They get mad when I use his middle name Hussein so I have shortened it to BO. Tax cuts are good, even the Bush Tax cut as he lied and called it. He is now going to let it expire on its own. Radicals take note. He backed out on one of his campaign promises. He wasn't worth the 600 million you paid to buy the election for him. Want to know what happened? An hour after he made the announcement the stock market was up 250 points. I can just see BO looking at his advisors. "McCain was right. What else was he right on? I can't tell George and Michael that we aren't going to do what we promised. They will not buy the election in 2012. God, Sara is out there. She may not be satisfied with me out of the White House. She will gut me. It will be worse than having Jessie Jackson here. He just wants to make two external incisions. Michelle thought it was a good idea. She doesn't want to be burdened with another baby."

And so it is in transition.

When McCain and Obama were asked about ads and if any of there ads were negative. John McCain said that all Obama's ads are negative which they aren't. While Obama said that McCain's ads are one hundred percent negative, which they were, until McCain made a new ad in JohnMcCain.com. One of his ads that were negative was “Promise,” this ad said that Obama was cutting federal funding for troops. That statement was all a set up and a “bunch of bolognas.”

Another one of McCains ad said that Obama was not ready to be president. That ad said that Obama had bad friends in Illinois. Finally, another difference is that Obama is the first African- American running for president. Whilst he also the youngest candidate for president, while McCain is supposed to be the oldest candidate. In addition to “If” McCain Sarah Palin, will be America's first vice president.

In conclusion, McCain and Obama have many differences. What's ironic is that why would, Barrack be made fun by many republican officials when Bush and Chenny is his relative! Another thing that is ironic is McCain himself. Why would McCain say something when he, himself, knows that he did it himself before?

    There are three good reasons I like Barack Obama;

1. He's a genuine guy, who I would trust my kids (if I had any) with.
2. He gives off this aura of confidence and respect.
3. He didn't really openly attack anyone (with words, of course)
   

    If this little article can't change your mind about Mr. Obama, then maybe the next four years will. Heres to a beautiful four years under the Obama Administration! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray!

This has caused a great deal of conflict in my life and a massive amount of debt. About a month ago, I stumbled upon a writing sight called triond. I began to write not realizing what it was doing to me.

It has helped me deal with the stress of being thirty-one and not having a clue about what I want to do.

For a long time I had written poetry regretfully which has been lost in the shuffle. Now I admit I am a writer and this is my destiny. I may not be the best at it but I love it. The most difficult thing for me is my grammar. When I firsts started submitting stuff a lot of it was being rejected. In addition, I was not really writing with my heart. Eventually I would like to be able to quit my job and write fulltime. Granted that will take a while. I would like to start a writing group for novice writers like me who want exposure but are new to the scene. My goal is to bring everyone together to promote a sense of unity and a better way to express one’s self than say violence. If you are extremely upset with someone, why not write about it rather than take it out on someone. Imagine the difference we can make if we truly start to express how we feel in a positive way. One of our basic rights that I feel great pride in is my freedom of speech.

We live in a democracy even thou some people would like to take those rights away from us. I voted for John McCain what right do you have to make threats against me or anyone else because of that right.

Anyways we need to band together as writers who will look after each other and take care of each other no matter what are differences are we have one common goal that is to make the world a better place.

Witches, Pumpkins, and Grinning Ghosts: The Story of the Halloween Symbols by Edna Barth

On top of this accusation, rumor has it that she tried to fire the head of the Wasilla Library Board for not doing what she asked. This article was written in the Anchorage Daily News:

[In December 1996, [city librarian Mary Ellen] Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her — starting before she was sworn in about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose. When the matter came up for the second time in October 1996, during a City Council meeting, Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla housewife who often attends council meetings, was there. Like many Alaskans, Kilkenny calls the governor by her first name. "Sarah said to Mary Ellen, 'What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?" Kilkenny said. "I was shocked. Mary Ellen sat up straight and said something along the line of, 'The books in the Wasilla Library collection were selected on the basis of national selection criteria for libraries of this size, and I would absolutely resist all efforts to ban books.'" Palin didn't mention specific books at that meeting, Kilkenny said. Palin herself, questioned at the time, called her inquiries rhetorical and simply part of a policy discussion with a department head "about understanding and following administration agendas," according to the Frontiersman article.]- Anchorage Daily News

This same article also started that there was no evidence of these conversations and that there were no records of any books being censored or banned from the Wasilla Library System. Another fact that disproves the legitimacy of this list and possibly the fact that the conversations ever happened was that The Harry Potter Collection was listed. The conversation supposedly happened in 1996, but the series didn’t start being circulated till 1997. Also this list is almost exactly the same list that was created by Alder & Robin Books which listed all the books that had been banned in the United States at some point in time.

There was also an official press release done by Taylor Griffin, a Spokesman for the McCain campaign, which said that Palin had asked Mary Ellen Emmons three separate times about banning books, but that these conversations were hypothetical. These conversations were a result of a patron of the library asking the library to remove a book from the library in the past, and Sarah Palin just wanted to know how a situation like this would be handled.

But if you check Wasilla’s website you will find that there had been no books challenged within 10 years before Palin became Mayor.

Though there is one clue that may lead many to believe that this story is accurate. In fact, Sarah Palin had fired Emmons in January 1997 because Palin didn’t feel she had the “Full Support” of Emmons, but the next day Emmons was hired back due to outrage in the town.  

Then of course on the other side of the coin, you have those who voted for Obama only to elect the first African American into office. While I can understand and appreciate such anticipation, I do not condone it. A decision so big should not be based on a detail that small.

All I'm trying to say here is use better judgment before voting people. If your mentally level is still trapped in the 1950's where you can't look past the color of a man's skin, then as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't have the right to vote anyway. Rather that right should be reserved for those of us who can actually use our minds.

During the entire election, Obama had a pretty steady lead. It wasn't a very close victory, it was considered by many people as a landslide victory when it came down to electoral votes. When it came down to John McCain and Barack Obama, a lot of people had a fear the racism would kick in. A lot of people thought that the whites and blacks would seperate their votes for the candidates of their own race, but that was not the case. The majority of the people in Barack Obama's crowd when he gave his speech after being elected were white.

After the election, everyone had a joyful response to Obama being elected, of all races. The streets were filled with happy people. Voting polls had lines outside the building, people were waiting outside for hours just to get their chance to vote. Barack Obama won both democratic and republican states. It seemed like Obama had a flawless campaign. He had practically no mistakes, everything was done by Obama with complete honesty towards himself and his beliefs.

Another video was released which critics say is intended to help John McCain to win the 44th presidential election against his opponent, Barack Obama. This video has deserved many controversial comments.

Obama is claimed to attend a radical Muslim school and he was taught Wahhabism (a fundamentalist form of Islam). In reality, Obama attended a Muslim elementary school, as according to him, he was unable to bear the expensive cost in an American school. This statement was clearly written in his second book entitled “The Audacity of Hope”. On page 274, he wrote that:

Without the money to go to the international school that most expatriate children attended, I went to local Indonesian schools and ran the streets with the children of farmers, servants, tailors, and clerks.

Some unknown e-mails claimed that Barack Obama attended a Muslim school for as long as 4 years. How true is this statement? In fact, Barack Obama only attended a Muslim school for 2 years, and later he attended a Roman Catholic school. He explained that he was neither taught Wahhabism nor any Islam related materials. In his autobiography entitled “Dreams from My Father” which was published in 1995, on page 142, Barack Obama wrote that:

In Indonesia, I'd spent 2 years at a Muslim school, 2 years at a Roman Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies. In the Catholic school, when it came time to pray, I'd pretend to close my eyes, then peek around the room. Nothing happened. No angels descended.

It is said that Obama's father raised Barack Obama as a radical Muslim. How true is this fact again? With regards to this issue, Barack Obama described in his autobiography which was written in 1995 about both his biological father Barack Hussein Obama Sr. and his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro (a non-practicing Muslim) as both Muslim. Whether it is an agnostic or atheist is by choice. Though Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim, there're no firm evidences to support that he is a radical Muslim. Also, by the time his father married the younger Obama's mother, he was an atheist or agnostic, meaning that he was no longer practicing a Muslim practice in his life. Barack Obama once wrote:

For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up closed-mindedness in the grab of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness.

This isn't to say that she provided me with no religious instruction. In her mind, a working knowledge of the world's great religions was a necessary part of any well-rounded education. In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day, my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways - and not necessary the best way - that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.

In sum, my mother reviewed religion through the eyes of the anthropologist she would become; it was a phenomenon to be treated with a suitable respect, but with a suitable detachment as well.

A wicked e-mailed claimed Barack Obama as a Muslim. In fact, Barack Obama has been associated with the United Church of Christ since the mid-1980s. Barack Obama says that he attends the 11a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week and his pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant. He is a Christian and he is rooted in the Christian tradition.

Some say Barack Obama converted himself to Christian to seek for a post of public office. But, this statement is not true. Barack Obama has become a member of the United Church of Christ since 1988, before he sought public office. That means his intention to be in Christ Jesus is not wholly aimed for seeking public office.

It is said that Barack Obama has benevolence towards radical Islam. However, this is not true again. Barack Obama once said: “You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings”. This statement further remarked that he won't tolerate with radical Islam, and he's more likely to give Osama bin Laden a kick. Therefore, there's no connection of the Obama's name with a terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden.

Barack Obama is said to have a middle name of “Hussein” and this is proved by many sources. But, even so, do you know how absurd and funky if people judge on other person's middle name. Do you know that George .W. Bush has a middle name of “Walker”? The “Walker” here refers to a devastatingly powerful armored combat vehicle, AT-AT Walker which Bush piloted while he was in the Galactic Empire's campaign in the Galactic Imperial Reserves on Endor. While piloting his AT-AT Walker, Bush fired on Endor civilians, which are called Ewoks. Up to now, Bush's involvement in the tragedy on Endor is sealed with mystery. Even a deceased victim came to Bush to seek for a justice. Press secretary Tony Snow asserted "The incident on the planet Endor is outside of United States jurisdiction. The Ewoks are not from the planet Earth and are therefore exempt from the Geneva Conventions." Bill Kristol came to the Bush's aid and said, "Look, I think that at the time, no one knew the Ewoks weren't a grave and gathering threat to national security."Kristol added, "I think in the end, history will show that George Bush did the right thing." And Bush was further defended by Bill O'Reilly, "Who are these Ewoks anyway? And can we trust them? They don't wear pants. Is that really the kind of example we want to set for our kids? The president was just protecting America, and your children."

Another claim hit Barack Obama is that he was willing to choose to study radical Islam as an adult in Indonesia. In fact, Barack Obama did attend a Muslim school in Jakarta in his age of 6 to 8. I think at these ages, he was under dilemma to have no choice to select which school he has to attend. Furthermore, Barack Obama emphasized that the school he attended did not teach radical Islam or Wahabbism. I know the Indonesian education system well. The school that Barack Obama attended in Indonesia is not really a religion-based school but just a government school with secular curriculum. Here, kids from different religions are mixed in one class and there is no obvious separation of male and female. And this is not a case in the radical Islamic school. The CNN in Jakarta, Indonesia and Washington, D.C. reported that the allegations that Barack Obama has attended a Madrassa to be baseless and untrue. The deputy headmaster of the Basuki school (in which Obama attended from 1969 to 1971), Hardi Priyono said, “This is a public school. We don't focus on religion. In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don't give preferential treatment.” He further remarked, “It's not an Islamic school. There's a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian….So, that's a mixed school.”

When dealing with recent e-mails falsely claimed that Barack Obama is a Muslim, he said, “I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” while interviewing by Ted Olsen and Sarah Pulliam. Barack Obama has been constantly mentioning about the role of faith in politics in June 2006. Barack Obama emphasized his strong Jesus Christ beliefs to the media. During his election campaign, it was obvious that he has his head bowed in prayers and he insists that he will be guided by prayer when he's in his office. Barack Obama made clear of his position as a Christian by repeatedly said that he is a Christian who attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Barack Obama denied the three rumors on him that are circulated widely on the internet. The rumors claimed that he is a Muslim, he was sworn in to Congress on the Quran, and that he rejects to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Watch the video to know the explanation from Barack Obama.

Remark:

I personally think that people should never have narrow mind towards the elected 44th US President, Barack Obama. Is that a shame for people not a “Christian” (not on Obama case) to run the country? Religion doesn't have any close-relation to run a country, does it? Who's capable to rule the country, he or she will be selected for this IMPORTANT task. The Christians are not necessary be in white, it can be of any colors. These days, due to the influx of different cultures, “the White Christian” has been a past, no more fact emphases that the Christian must be white.

Regardless of who is elected for a president, it's a time for most Americans to demand for a change as 8 years Bush's administrations have brought more frustrations to Americans. Why do people still want to question about the eligibility of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States? It's time for a new government under Barack Obama to address people's needs and desires that have long been dreamed of on the land of America.

Personally, I don't matter Barack Obama's past, but the foremost thing is whether he's capable to bring a progress to America and at the same time, he is justice to every American, including those who're not of his races.

Any discussions on Barack Obama's past, background and school he attended during his childhood are pointless. As I think he's a Christian for many years, people shouldn't attack him with his previous background upon his victory in the recent election. I think his task, choice of career and his patriotism towards America matter much rather than anything else. I am sure that he's a right person to fill the vacancy of 44th president of America. Let us pray whole-heartedly for a unity, economic growth, political stable of the America, and no more controversy circulated around Barack Obama who I think is better than George W. Bush and John McCain. Place your belief and confidence towards your new elected president, Barack Obama but please don't be stirred by the wicked and unintentionally planned messages with the aims to see America in collapse.

Upon exciting about Obama's victory, I'm concerned about Barack Obama's personal security. He might become a focus for a radical Islam group to attack as he tried to convert from Islam to Christian. For them, any conversion to other religion is DEATH. So, America should have a strict protection towards this newly elected president while preparing to attack from any unexpected bombings and planned attacks. At this moment, CIA, and other security arm forces should be careful enough to protect America so that 911 event won't repeat in the United States.

I am so grateful that we as a nation can now start to climb out of the deep dark hole that the Bush Administration has put us in. Working together as a nation will once again give us the hopes and dreams that each and every American wants for their lives. This is a great day historically for America; we will now be able to bring unity and pride back to the United States of America. President Obama will be able to bring other nations that Bush has helped alienate us from back to being our allies. This nation will now start day by day to get back on track where we "The United States of America" can stand tall and proud once again and other countries will start to look up to us as they once did eight years ago.

The comedians out there will suffer due to lack of material because there really is not a whole lot that you can make fun of when it comes to Barack Obama because now we will have a President that is intelligent, poised, young, vibrant that can also thank God speak proper English.

To the people who did not vote for Barack Obama, McCain's picking of Sarah Palin was part of his down fall, but I have to say with all honesty I thank him from the bottom of my heart. For the people who believed this day would never happen because they didn't want it to, due to their prejudice "to bad."

Finally in electing a black man this will hopefully bring people of all nationalities to learn to live together with the equality that each and every human being deserves and because of this it will be a much better place to live. May God Bless the United States of America!

Who my favorite candidate was is not important - just living and breathing the campaigns was exciting. I was truly amazed at how the cable networks could take one story, play it all day and keep it alive for days.

Will I ever see Joe Lieberman at the side of Senator McCain again, whispering corrections in his ear while at a press conference?

Will Hillary ever tell her harrowing story of landing "under fire" again?

Obama laid out his plans for improving the country. According to McCain the plans made Obama a "socialist" and according to some of his supporters even a communist. Still, I wonder what McCain"s plan for improving the nation's economic situation would have been? Oh yeah, Bushism.

With Governor Palin snuggly back in Alaska, what is going to happen to Tina Fey? Is she doomed to obscurity? And what about Saturday Night Live? Should they brace themselves for a huge drop in ratings?

Of course, "Joe the Plumber" is in deep trouble. His fifteen minutes of fame are over, his candidate lost, he will most likely have to get a plumbing license, the IRS knows where to find him and absolutely no one cares what he has to say.

The pundits and the commentators will soon be at a loss for material when completing their analysis of the campaign. Will they miss the magic maps as much as I will?

The ending of the campaign did turn out to prove that American democracy was alive, well and maturing. But, with the campaign over I sure am going to miss the discussions of the really important news stories on cable TV.
