In Case You Missed ‘That One’ Last Night

Lots of Americans who thought they were economically safe are finding out otherwise.

But, wait… Comes a man with a great plan.

“Wake The Nation”: Carly Simon Sings For Obama-Biden (Vid w/Lyrics)

Grab your hankies, then go grab your ballots!

 

“Let The River Run” Song Lyrics

We’re coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song

It’s asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We’re coming to the edge 
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the darkening dawn

It’s asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We’re coming to the edge 
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Breaking: Plot To Assassinate Obama, Kill African-Americans Foiled

According to MSNBC the ATF has disrupted an alleged assassination plot on Senator Obama’s life. According to MSNBC, an accidental arrest led to the unraveling of the plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads whose alleged plans included targeting an African-American school. The school in the plot is unnamed.

More at MSNBC. 

It’s becoming painfully obvious that the McCain/Palin campaign have stirred up the emotionally fragile. The genie is out of the bottle and McCain/Palin bears some responsibility for going there with people by turning an American citizen, presidential candidate and sitting senator into a traitor.

This is the *second known plot on Obama’s life. For those who don’t remember or weren’t aware, the cops stumbled into another plot during the Dem convention in Colorado to kill Obama. The Feds rejected charging those guys and one girl as plotters, insisting they were meth-heads and not a danger.

*eta… this is actually the third alleged plot. We neglected to mention the Florida guy with the guns in the hotel.

Another Repub Bites The Dust: Ted Stevens (R) Found Guilty In Corruption Trial

Alaskan Republican Senator Ted Stevens found guilty on all seven counts in his corruption trial. The Feds charged him with accepting gifts and not reporting them. Each count carries five years.

There’s plenty of speculation on the nets that Alaskan governor Palin had more than just her Toddry husband’s “buddies” build their swanky Alaskan digs.

Can justice for the ethically-challenged Sarah Palin be far behind? Girlfriend has lots of skeletons clankling around in that Alaskan closet of hers.

Here’s hoping just that.

McCain’s Black Relatives Speak Out (Video)

Author Douglas Blackmon along with Lillie McCain talk about John McCain Family ties on CNN.

 

Lillie McCain is a descendant of slaves once held on the plantation of John McCain’s great, great grandfather. Oral history of the African American McCains claims a biological connection and family relationship.

The white McCains, according to author Douglas Blackmon, say that “if that’s the case they never knew.” 

Lillie adds that “given the way that the slave masters interacted with the slaves it would be uncommon” to not be biologically related. She says that they neither discount nor are ashamed whether that connection is real or not. 

The white McCain’s who Blackmon spoke to told him, “it doesn’t really matter” if they share bloodlines with African-American McCains. Lillie confirms that DNA testing has not been done.

Still, McCain’s brother, Joseph, has embraced the family ties by attending the McCain Reunion with the African-American McCains held every two years at Teoc, Mississippi. However, Senator McCain, over the years, has chosen to not attend, again missing this year’s reunion, held on July 24. 

Both sides of the McCain Family deserve kudos. Like a growing number of Americans whose families are connected by the travesty of slavery, they have chosen to tackle that part of our history head on.

No secrets. No denials. No shutting the eyes, hoping that it all goes away.

America is a country experiencing rapidly changing demographics. A real leader would take the opportunity to use his elaborately expressed history as an excellent teaching moment for America, rather than using his campaign to stir up the emotions of his constituency by reinforcing unjustified fears of the “otherness” of Barack Obama.

Apparently, that leader is not Senator McCain who seems to drunkenly steer his Straight Talk Express mindlessly and hazardously through small town America. 

Whether or not the racists living in our nation approve, America is “browning.” Get over it. People having browner complexions will not be hopping on boats or planes in an attempt to apply for residence in other countries. It just ain’t gonna happen.

McCain could go a long way in helping his constituency understand it. But, that’s only if the senator bothers to do what it takes to understand it for himself.

More shame on John McCain.

I’ll get a video transcript up later in the day.

Woman Attempts Citizen’s Arrest Of Karl Rove

 

This brave and patriotic woman single-handedly attempts to haul troglodyte Rove off stage during a panel discussion.

Ignore the VO of the misinformed telePrompter reader who clearly ignores the woman telling Rove that he is being arrested on charges of treason.

Better luck next time.

Obama Plans To Suspend Campaign To Be With His Ailing Grandmother

KITV Island Television News Video On Obama’s Visit To See Tutu

 

Photo: Obama relaxes with his maternal grandparents.

Obama is suspending his campaign to visit his ailing grandmother’s bedside in Hawaii.

A senior aid to Obama told ABC News that recently Madelyn Dunham had become ill and her “health has deteriorated to the point where her situation is very serious.”

Obama’s grandmother and grandfather helped to raise him, along with his mother.

HAN initially heard the campaign suspension would be for two days beginning Thursday, but Obama’s scheduled departure for Hawaii more than likely depends on his grandmother’s condition.

This is a truly sad turn of events. No word yet on the cause of her illness. 

We wish Obama and his family well.

McCain Campaign Hits Russians Up For Campaign Donation, Russians Respond: “Thanks, But No Thanks”

Original Russian letter: http://www.un.int/russia/new/MainRoot/docs/press/201008

Full story here.

The McCain campaign has accused the Obama campaign of accepting foreign campaign donations. Instead, the Russian document shows that McCain’s campaign has solicited Illegal donations. McCain’s phony complaint shows once again how convenient his campaign’s timing is when tossing around bogus accusations.

It is illegal to accept foreign money in election campaigns.
