President Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech Transcript Author → Asif |

Nov5
Obama delivered a brilliant and uplifting speech. There were remnants of Dr. Martin Luther King in this speech:
OBAMA: Hello, Chicago.
If
there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place
where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our
founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our
democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's
the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in
numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours
and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they
believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be
that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old,
rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,
Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans
who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a
collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's
the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be
cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their
hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a
better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight,
because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining
moment change has come to America.

In a historic decision, Democrats after 8 years of fierce resistance, came back with a glorious victory, House Senate and White house. Today democrats after JFK and LBJ, BC , celebrating a Reagan type FDR type president; Barack Obama. It is important for this current political movement of both young and old to not rest of its laurels. We must continue to be politically aware, socially active, and most of all concerned citizens. If this election was race driven, in four years I believe the next election will be gender driven. My prediction is for Sarah Palin to trust herself onto the presidential platform. You have already seen her incubated, with four or even eight years of maturity, expect to see Sarah Palin again.

What If You Reversed Information about Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin Author → Asif |

This is from an email I recently received, something interesting to contemplate.
What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three
month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law
Review
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the
bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once,
and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Obama was the candidate who left his
first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured
up to his standards?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and
had a long affair while he was still married?
What if Michelle
Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also
acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

A few weeks ago, a former co-worker sent me a NYTimes OP-ED from Edward Luttwack basically proclaiming Obama a Muslim etc. Here is a reply I sent to him. |
