At the buzzer

My voting booth. Did you know that a woman was running for president? I didn't either!

The end is near: I experienced it for myself. The feeling was if I tossed my last shot at the basket in the NBA finals, as if I drove my last lap in a race or even threw the last pitch in the world series but it was all for this 2008 election.
I sighed a large sigh of relief after I dropped my ballot into the electronic vote "gobbler" which of course is my code word for a small machine that calculates your entire voice in the nations future. As I walked out of the polling place I had a huge weight off of my shoulders, I have done all I can do to help bring about change, I've pushed people to vote for Change, I've made myself clear and donated hundreds of dollars to help this country... I had done it all and now I was finished! Was I finished though? It then dawned on me... This change we speak about has just begun, my work has just started, I have plenty more things I can do for my environment, for my community, for my family and my country. My Job has just begun. Your job has just begun.
Politics are dangerous. Politics can sway people away from really partaking in reality, as if we rely on the politicians to do all the work for us, we just need to place our vote.
I've been reminded once again, it isn't Obama and Biden, or McCain and Palin that will switch this country around, its you and its I.

I'm relieved to have november 4th finally here. I'm sick of political signs littering the streets and arguments and debates taking over my life. I can now (now meaning when we get the voting results) shake hands in truce with my best friends and blessed family who I've disagreed with for the past 10 months.

Of course I voted for Barack and Biden, they'll be exactly what our country needs right now...of course I'll be behind whoever becomes our next president, besides, before being a republican or a democrat or an independent party member, we're all Americans, American's that want change.

Let the Issues be the Issue

Obama and McCain switched skin tones???

This is trippy.
I'm sure you read my recent post about how race is effecting this race,so to speak.
Well, I found this on thecoolhunter.net and it just made me laugh.
The elections are tomorrow, which means your vote is due tomorrow at 8pm.
The biggest election I've ever seen, read about, been apart of or contributed to... the journey for who will be our next president is just about over... But the journey of bringing our country back to the top has just begun.
See you at the Polls.

Alright crew, I'm off to Palm springs to photograph an amazing wedding!
I'll post while I'm there I'm sure.

What if...Obama and McCain switched backgrounds?

What if?
Obama / Biden vs McCain/ Palin , what if things were switched around? . . . . . think about it.
Would the country's collective point of view be different if McCain & Obama had each other's history and qualifications?
Could racism be the
culprit? Ponder the following:

•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 painkillers but also acquired them illegally
through her charitable organization?

•What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

•What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The
Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of
corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as
part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s
and early 1990s).

•What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

•What if Obama couldn' t read from a tele-prompter?

•What if Obama was the one who had military experience that
included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven
planes?

•What if Obama was the one who was known to display
publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management
problem?

•What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money
from beer distribution?

•What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions
reflected reality, do you really believe the election
numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism
does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive
qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities
in another when there is a color difference .

McCain is a pain

McCain and his crew are annoying and immature. They see their campaigns future ending alot sooner then they had hoped. Not only did McCain leave his wife when she was bed ridden, checkout a little more dirt on Mr.McCain the pain.

...only a few news outlets, like the Phoenix New Times in Arizona and the National Journal, have run an Associated Press story reporting McCain's 1998 joke suggesting that Chelsea Clinton was ugly and that Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton were lesbians.

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" McCain said at a GOP fund-raiser in Washington. "Because Janet Reno is her father."

...

If McCain has had trouble keeping his story straight, he has enjoyed a charmed life with the national media. Besides largely ignoring McCain's anger issues, the media have run few details of McCain's bouts with malignant melanoma, a deadly form of cancer that can spread quickly throughout the body, and have rarely cited a litany of inappropriate comments by McCain over the years.

...


A July 5 NewsMax.com article quoted former Sen. Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee, as saying, "I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues . . . He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that."

...

Democrat Paul Johnson, the former mayor of Phoenix, saw McCain's temper up close. "His volatility borders in the area of being unstable," Johnson has said. ""Before I let this guy put his finger on the button, I would have to give considerable pause."

"I think he is mentally unstable and not fit to be president," former congressman LeBoutillier said.

Is that who you want running our country for the next term? Naww, I didn't think so... I just wanted to share that with you.

•Who's ready for another 4 years of same old same old?
•What has McCain done positive, besides serve our country well WAY back in the day.
•95% of the time he voted identical to George Bush. So unless you like what Bush has done. Vote Obama '08.
•I'll tell you why I like Obama in a little bit...but for now, I need to strengthen our economy and do some work... then buy some stocks.
