Colin Powell Backs OBAMA

Well isn't this an interesting turn of events, The Associated Press reports that former Secretary of State Colin Powell has thrown his support behind Barrack Obama. I really don't have too much more to say about that...9make your own conclusions.,...) check out the story here....

......The former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said either senator is qualified to be commander in chief. But after studying both, he concluded that Obama is better suited than McCain, the standard-bearer of Powell's own party, to handle the nation's economic problems and help improve its world standing....

Lick A Shot For OBAMA- Jay Z

Smile Everytime My Face Is Up In The Source!

I am on the fence about how I feel about The Source Magazine. It was a time in hip hop where if The Source gave you 5 mics, you didn't even care what the album was.. you knew it was hot... well that's no longer the case... BUT I DIGRESS!... They have the New President of The United States , Barrack Obama on the cover.....

Obama....Does It Again

Dr. Rock...... An Editorial

It's been awhile but props to BEEEZO... good looking out.. you know your boy is on his grind right now. With that being said Dr. Rock is back with another 1 of his famous editorials... check out what he has to say about the speech Gov. Palin gave last evening as well as a few thoughts on the electorial race!


Governor Palin's speech was awesome. She is obviously well spoken and educated. She came across just as those who know and support her said she would. She made some pretty funny remarks about Barack and the Democrats, although I thought she made a few too many. There wasn't much substance to her speech, just rhetoric, just like the way Obama started out. She can get away with that, she's only running for vice president. Vice Presidents don't do much. He can no longer get away with that.

We know that she didn't write the speech, but that doesn't matter that much. It fired up the cowboy hat wearing, bible thumping, flatus filled rednecks at that convention.
However, close your eyes and imagine President John McCain having a fatal heart attack. Open your eyes and Sarah Palin is president of the United States. That is the most scary thing about her. I can't imagine her being president of the United States. There was a time when I felt the same way about Barack Obama, but he has changed my mind over many months. In addition, if he dies, Joe Biden steps up. I'm much more comfortable with Biden than I am with Palin. I really don't want a "hockey mom" to be my president. she hasn't even fulfilled a full term as Governor of Alaska. Before that she was mayor of a small town. Maybe if the election weren't so close, we would have time to get to know her and scrutinize her the way we have with Barack Obama, but we don't have that luxury.

I deplore Condelezza Rice, and disagree with most of her views, but I would be much more comfortable with her as president than Sarah Palin. Mitt Romney, Rudy Julianni, Ron Paul, McCain had many better choices

Palin also made that infamous "Going to war in Iraq is a task from God" statement. Thats also scary, because thats what muslim extremist use as their pre-text for terrorist acts and the destruction of Israel.

I still believe that John McCain is an independent thinker. I don't like his approach to the Iraq invasion (I still don't consider it a war), or his willingness to drill in the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve. I just wish he has chosen someone more qualified than Palin, because if he wins, and he dies in office (He is 72 years of age), we are stuck with her.

112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
