Obama Recovery and Investment Plan goes on Offensive.
Imagine that a plan and committee to oversee how the money is used and a website designed so you and I can follow the money trail and the progress to the 3 to 4 million jobs ourselves.
The Bush Republicans have not provide any such tool for the people to monitor what they were doing in their history. Nor will you ever see such a monitoring device regarding any Republican bill or plan in your life time.
Let's get the jobs bill passed this week so we can get on with getting "Health" Care for all Americans this year.

Rev. Huckabee Blesses Obama Gun Violence at NRA ?
I was in another room and heard CNN reporting that McCain’s Rev. Mike Huckabee said something about pointing a gun at Presidential hopeful Barak Obama, then they went to commercial. Naturally this was startling, when CNN came back from commercial they played a clip and then had a discussion about how this was just a joke. I was not laughing.
That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he's getting ready to speak," said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. "Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor
My first reaction was, that minister’s, especially Republican calm, deliberate, controlled professional speakers do not say anything that they do not plan or otherwise intend to say. The question is what did he say and who told him to say it. Then I remembered that not long ago another socially conservative Republican Minster called for the assassination of the Black President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez on national TV. Hmm, was this a plan, a Freudian slip or a joke?
Thinking more objectively, I quickly concluded that this friendly backslapping southern preacher could not possibly think that he could give his blessing to a group of gun toting Americans to do harm and get away with it. So, it must have been a Freudian slip like the comedian who attacked his customers with the “N” word and then explained that he is not actually a racist, something just came over him.
I hope that at its worst, this is just another in a series of examples of unconscious Cultural Poisoning that this historic race will bring out along the road to America’s healing of her birth defect. What do you think?
Rev. Huckabee in a more Culturally Healthy moment.
Huckabee defends Barack Obama on Rev. Wright controversy
One must give credit where credit is due.
When ever someone brings up Obama/Rev. Wright I will bring up McCain/Rev. Huckabee. Political score Democratic Revs 1 - Republican Revs 1.
It is hard enough to determine what an individual minster thinks, let alone attach that "thinking" to a third party. P.S. Huckabee better hope that no one from the NRA ever points a gun at Obama.

Who Won The ABC Debate? (Poll)

The blogOSphere has been buzzing since Wednesday about the ABC presidential debate, I don’t plan to go over that again here. We all know that the debate was in two parts. Parts One, 45 minutes of manufactured issues and Part Two, concrete issues. Here we are on Sunday and I no longer remembered all the details of the debate but I was left with some impressions.
Here is my impression of who I thought won part one and two and overall.
Part One manufactured issues
Obama first out of gate. Remember the first open question? Hillary was slow and Obama jumped on it, like siting in the first chair in, in the first row in the class room in front of the teacher. He was aggressive from question one. Corprate media's attempt to spin Obama as defensive fails on me. Dissatisfied with the 45 minutes of non bread and butter questions, yes, defensive, no.
Hillary did not ask the questions but she piled on every negative non issue question that came up. I think she lost points with the people for piling on with the questions that the audience booed Charlie Gibson, and George Stephanopoulos for.
Obama gave her a pass when she was asked about lying about being shot at and bombed. He gained points on the moral high road. However, when Hillary refused to get on that high road with him by piling onto the 45 year old boogie man question, he demonstrated he can be tough by emptying both guns on Hillary. He fired back, President Clinton pardoned to of the boogie men you are so upset about (paraphrase). Naturally, when asked if she wanted time to respond, she declined. Obama wins again.
Finally, the most important win of the night comes out of Hillary's own mouth. When asked if Obama can win the general election she reverses herself and says the now famous, Yes, Yes, Yes.
Part one goes to obama. He was on offense from question one to the end of the round.
Part Two: Concrete Issues
It is interesting that the ending the war question, is the only issue question I remember from part two. Hillary the policy wonk got out wonked. In the heat of debate Hillary overstated her case. On the other hand, Obama slam dunked Bush, McCain and Hillary with one punch. Obama looked very presidential as he made his explanation of how the President is the strategic policy maker and the Generals are tactical implementers. he then pointed out, unlike Hillary he would consult with them in their tactical role.
Obama Wins Part Two on the ending the war question alone in my book.
Let me make one more point before we get to my overall rating. Remember the seemingly out of the blue random citizen that George Stephanopoulos had ask the strange Flag Question? Well it was not random it was a fraud. Click Here
I posted this comment earlier in the week, not understanding at the time that the flag Question inadvertently demonstrated that Obama's "bitter" voter alert was on target and that the flag question is not about the flag.
I want to know who the woman was that Gorge S. got to ask the ridiculous flag question.Overall, for my money Obama wins the debate hands down. The polls support this opinion. In National polls Obama is up and in the Pennsylvania polls he is closing the gap.P.S. Did you notice that Hillary was not wearing a flag? I wonder if the commentators had one?
The question should not have been about a flag pin, it should have been about how she and I get my health care pin.
Now here is my Cultural commentary.
The woman who asked the flag question is Nash McCabe. She is a blue collar European American out of work, in need of food and her husband is very ill. If this person is typical of our national Cultural Health we are in trouble. Have anti-humanists in America been successful at focusing citizens on flags instead of their own food? If my spouse was sick, I would ask a potential leader of our nation what he will do to help my spouse, wouldn't you? Read the McCabe Story here.
The real question is, why do people where the flag? is it a code? Are they patriotic? Have Bush and the forty thieves coned them into drinking the neocon fool aid? David Duke wears a flag, what does that mean, is it like wearing a confederate flag?

Just in case you still think Hillary won the debate just listen to Bill, he will fix that.

Bush's Top Man on Tibet Can't Tell Tebet from Napal?
Remember when John McCain could not tell who was in Iraq? Is this professional looking incompetence endemic to the Republican Party? Remember FEMA? Remember Bush? Maybe not, remember Hillary being shot at and bombs exploding

What is in a Name - baRAck oBAma

Hetep and Respect Good Spirit, all names coming out of the African World view have meaning. So the question occurred to me, What does Obama's name mean?
In one of the Obama groups I learned that Oba means The King, interesting. I wonder what language that is in.
I have taken a look at Barack Obama's name from a Classical African Civilization, Kemet (ancient Egypt) point of view. The language is known as Metu Neter (transliterated as Hieroglyphics in English). When we look at his name for Kametic hints two remarkable kemetic elements in his name pop out. In the title I have highlighted them in CamelCaps.
In the Kemetic tradition there are two "souls". Ausarian Cosmologics includes the Ba and the Ka. The Ka is the electromagnetic duplicate of the body and the BA is what in the Christian tradition comes down to us as the Soul. Ra is the name of the sun neter (force in nature) the life force in the universe (one verse). In the Asian cosmological tradition Ra is the Chi (life forc) as in Chi Gong (QI Gong). Chi Gong is an Asian exercise system for maximizing health.
This is how I interpret Obama's name as related to my self interest. He is the leader (king), that will change the soul (BA) of America, so that it will join with the spirit of the other civilized nations in the world, to provide health care (RA) for all it citizens.
Now, I would not presume to tell anyone what message Obama's name has for them. In the Obama TeamAmerica mode it is up to you to go into your spirit and figure it out from your point of view.
We in America all stand in some relationship to Obama, we should do what we can to figure that relationship out, as a guide to how we can best be of assistance to him and the nation.
