Dear President-elect Obama:

I did not think you were ready for the Presidency yet, so I did not vote for you this time around. However, my daughter, my son and my wife did think you ready; and they all voted for you.

You are about to undertake one of the toughest jobs in the world. You are going to need all the help you can get, from men and women everywhere.

Lee Stranahan has started a kind of hip series of short videos for Obama that you might like to know about. Here are the first of the 30 in the countdown to election day.

Health Care (#30)

End The 60s (#29)

Smart (#28)

Computer Stuff (#27)

I'm far from convinced, but I do think we should consider a unity ticket.

The Clintons are not racists and Hillary's campaign most definitely has not played the race card. Nonetheless, the media is full of stories designed to make Democrats as well as other voters think the opposite. Today, however, there is a rare voice of reason which begins to set the record straight on this matter. It's the voice of Princeton Professor Sean Wilentz in an Op Ed in The Philadelphia Inquirer entitled "Obama was the first to play the race card".

Found the following diary at MyDD.com and feel that this is very important. Not just because of who said it and who it was said about, but because it is WRONG for CNN to be supporting this guy.. thing!

Tell me what you think and what we can do about this.

This is seriously unacceptable:

During the 70's and 80's, I grew up more fortunate than others, mostly in an upper middle class suburb in central New Jersey. But as the only dark-skinned American of multi-ethnic decent throughout most of my schooling from Grades 3-12, I've certainly been on the recieving end of many racial epithets, slurs and provocations. So admittedly, .. I've become very, VERY sensitive.

So when a leading 2008 GOP presidential hopeful, Senator George Allen (VA), addressed S.R. Sidarth, as "Macaca", I immediately recognised its racial connotation and became outraged. Sadly, racism persists today because of racial bigots, like Senator George Allen and others, who hold powerful leadership positions, but fail to witness and respect the cultural richness of their own constituency -- in the real world, real America.
