One of the wonderful things about being an American is freedom of choice. We get to choose where we live, where we go to school, church, who we associate with and also who we don’t associate with. It is a beautiful thing to live in a land full of choices. One of the most important [...]

Freedom of Choice
February 29, 2008At What Point is It Over?
February 27, 2008When you lose once people say you lost. When you lose 10 times you are officially a loser. Most of the time a lose is discounted, but not in this primary season. If Barack Obama had lost 10 primaries in a row we would now be saying Barack Who? In the case of Hillary Clinton [...]
Winning at Any Cost
February 25, 2008Today a photo of Sen. Obama appeared with him dressed in traditional Kenyan attire. He has a turban like headpiece and material draped on his body in the country’s tradition.

Much Ado About Nothing

Words Do Matter
February 19, 2008When the Clinton machine gets you in the crosshairs look out. On Saturday night Sen. Obama delivered a speech in which he quoted portions of a speech previously given by Deval Patrick. Patrick is the governor of Massachusetts and he is also an Obama supporter. The Clinton’s contend he plagarized. This is ridiculous. It is [...]
We Have Got to Believe
February 18, 2008I read all the news magazines and I watch the cable talking heads and they all seem to be saying the same thing. We are witnessing and incredible moment. The Obama campaign is something this country has not seen, but there are still people who can’t believe it. I was talking to my elderly uncle [...]
