The Command T.O.C.

Be The Change That You Want to See

First, you cannot change unless you are willing to hope. Some see the message of hope as youthful dreaming; you cannot hope today, they say, you must be a "realist". First, I say hope, then, "Be the change that you want to see", then we can get rid of a political environment full of war mongers, haters, and killers.

Bring Barack Obama to Washington!

Hillary Clinton's "Karl Rove" Moment Backfired on Her

We all saw that Hillary Clinton decided to go "Karl Rove" on us rather than lose an election. The "red phone" ad was played prior to Texas and Ohio and it basically went something like this:

"Watch out parents... .there is a bad person out there just waiting to jump through a window and steal your babies. The only person who can stop that is Hillary (PUKE!!) Clinton."

She took this right from the Bush administration where everything always seemed fine until right before an election. Then, mysteriously, the bogey man showed up and we would be "Stopping an unknown threat" just to remind us all that if it were not for the Keystone Cops of Bush, Cheney, Rummy etc. we would all be dead now.

However, Clinton, being just as inept as the Republicans, used stock footage of Casey Knowles. Casey is now 18 and a big Barack Obama supporter and actually was a precinct captain. Oops..  Here is Casey's REAL message;

Obama Ad in PA - No Special Interest Money

A reminder from Barack Obama that he does not take special interest money. His quote:

"They do not finance my campaign and they will not run my White House"

How refreshing to have a candidate who at least tries not to be influenced by these people. As opposed to the "experienced" ones who are very experienced in having lobbying groups pay for their livelihood.

Barack Obama's Speech in Indy: We BELIEVE in ONE AMERICA!

An interesting concept isn't it? Barack Obama believes in ONE America. Prior to this, the "experienced" people in Washington learned to play the game. They divide the Country up, pit group against group, pull together the most powerful and leave the rest in the dust. This is the lesson of Karl Rove and Hillary Clinton has learned it well.

With Barack.. we believe!

Canada Admits to False Statement About Barack Obama - Issues Apology

I wonder how much airplay this will get. Canada admits an official purposefully issued a miss-characterization of Barack Obama's position on NAFTA. They have issued an apology as seen in this CBC report but, as they say, the damage is done.

Also notice how Hillary basically says, almost verbatim, exactly what John McCain said. Now, who can you trust? Barack Obama, even on this situation appears to be far more right than wrong. Canada apologizes. Maybe we could bomb Ottawa then "apologize".

A Clear and Balanced Response From Barack Obama

As the Republican and Hillary machine ramp up and try to find anything they can to disparage Barack Obama, Barack continues to defy them with clear, concise and balanced responses.

Blaming Barack for this is like saying all Catholics are responsible for the Spanish Inquisition. Here is Barack's response to the latest distraction of the campaign caused by the "Swift boat" experts.

Problems With Hussein? Omar and Abizaid Al Qaeda Sympathizers?

I have listened now for about a month the "uproar" over Barack Obama's middle name. While we know there are racist tendencies concerning his African American heritage, that pales in comparison to the overt racism that the right wing is trying to smear Obama with by constantly discussing his middle name.

This is an easy smear campaign for the right wing. They can say, "Look, why can't I just say his middle name, I am not saying anything "bad" about it". In fact that is what the Nazi (Sean Hannity) and the nut (John Gibson) are doing on radio and T.V. Of course, they know by doing that they are stirring up the racist fears in much of their overtly racist audience.

They could easily report something like, "Yes, his middle name is Hussein but there are no ties to a Muslim religion in his name as Obama is a devout Christian. In fact, his middle name is a little like "John" in the rest of the world and is very similar to the fact that one of our all time greatest generals ever, General Omar Bradley, also had a name of Middle Eastern descent. But, we would never accuse Omar Bradley of being an early Muslim radical supporter so making that connection to Obama because his middle name is "Hussein" would be equally inaccurate, wrong, and racist."  But, no, they do not do that. That is real reporting you will never see on the Fox Idiot Network .

They continue to use the word knowing they are leading their audience into a thought that is wrong. The Nazi even has segments called, "Is it wrong to talk about his middle name". Let's create a story where there is none. He is feeding his racist audience's fears and he knows it. He is a racist himself.

For the more educated and reasonable, there is Juan Cole who writes a great article about this and talks about other great Americans who have had Muslim/Middle Eastern names. He discusses the origin of Omar in Omar Bradley, discusses Abizaid as in General Abizaid, and points out that McCain's adopted daughter is from Bangladesh where Hussein is a very common name.

But, the strategy of the Republicans since the year 2000 has been very clear, concise and straightforward. It is all about taking advantage of the American populace and keeping them very scared. The very smart people, they just keep rich through big tax breaks and idiotic policies which have, for example, someone making $100M per year paying the same Social Security tax as someone who makes $100K per year. "Keep the bad people rich and the good people scared" is the mantra of the Bush administration through Karl Rove.

You would have thought that given what happened to McCain in South Carolina in the 2000 election he would have never done this to anyone else. Rather than learn what not to do, apparently the Republican machine has taught McCain what works. And, what works, is apparently all McCain and the Republican machine care about.

American is certainly in it's "Dark Ages" right now and I am not sure what, if anything, will get it out beyond electing Barack Obama.

We have a chance America.. .let's not blow it. Donate to Barack Obama and Make a Change... do not allow more of the same politics!!

Obama Wins Wyoming!

Great news. Barack wins Wyoming!

Michigan Democrats Now Want to Vote.. Again...

I think it is very insightful into how Hillary Clinton would govern when you look at what is going on with Florida and Michigan (My home state). She agreed to the party rules stating that if Michigan violated the party mandate on when to hold the primary, their delegates would not count and they would not campaign there. It is a very simple agreement.

Yet now Hillary needs those delegates to win. Since she needs them she has completely turned and is now saying "it would be only fair to let them be seated". Two problems with this:

First, she knows that her name was on the Michigan ballot and Barack's was not. Therefore, confused Democrats either did not go to the polls knowing, being told their vote did not count, or went there and saw only one name on the ballot they recognized. Further, in Michigan, write ins do not count so if you wanted a snow ball's chance in hell of Obama to be elected you had to vote "uncommitted". I wonder just how many people knew this rule? It was well advertised but in all the areas where the average person may not see it.

So, she is pulling a "hanging chad" out of her hat showing that she is absolutely no different than George Bush. She has the "red phone" ad to scare people, she is running as a "war" candidate and now she is showing, like Bush, if you cannot win the election, just try to steal it.

One thing I can assure Hillary of and that is that if I want another George Bush, I hate to tell her, but John McCain would be my man. Hillary is telling the voters that there are three very important things in this election: experience, who can "answer the phone" (BTW, wasn't Bill "on the phone" at 3:00am or so when Monica was... ah... never mind), and who can you trust.

Again, if those are the three biggest issues, it is John McCain all the way. She does not hold a candle to him in foreign affairs/defense, certainly he would be better at answering the call, and given what is going on in Michigan, there is no way I could ever trust her.

Hillary has killed the Democratic party's chances to win a Presidency. Like cyanide put into Kool-aid, Hillary has assured that everyone will go down if she goes down.

Girl in Clinton "Red Phone" Ad Now 17.. And A Fierce Obama Supporter

This is just too good. Turns out the girl in the bed in the Hillary Clinton "Red Phone" ad is now 17, will be 18 in April and is a big Barack Obama supporter. Her image was "owned" by another company who had the footage from stock footage shot many years ago.

Here is the story:  Girl is Obama Supporter
