Whus gwaan, 'ere n dere

Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be!

There is something going on here. Ba(Rockstar) Obama been getting his chops bust up. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Barack Obama mentioned in the same breath? Only in McCain's world. DO NOT BUY Obama Nation however, do take it out of the library or read it online. If it is deserving of your cash, then by ALL means, make it part of your home library with a copy of your own. The timing of this tome by the same author who discredited John Kerry, is a carefully planned distraction. What about the "banner bros. and their empathyists? (Is that a real word or did I just make that one up?...u no wha i mean doe. lol) The Ludacris lunacy? Whus gwaan, 'ere? It is time to fight back with action not reaction. Instead of letting himself be defined by the Republican machine, Senator Obama has to be proactive in stating who he is, what he stands for, what he has changed his original answers to and why, (we are ALL entitled to change our minds, YES, EVEN CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT), address the 11.7 BILLION DOLLAR PROFIT EXXON/MOBIL EARNED THIS QUARTER...while we pay $20 for a loaf of bread, a half-gallon of milk, a jar of peanut butter, a bunch of bananas, a dozen eggs, a box of grits and a can of pink salmon that all fits into one bag. I remember when all of this was considered "cheap" food...Who is going to address these everyday kinds of issues to the voting public? This is what is on the mind of the nation. When corn that was 10/$1.oo is now 3/$2.49, we are in trouble. When a pound of lower sodium Boar's Head Ham is $9.69, we are in really big trouble How will Senator Obama, when he is President Obama, begin to rein in this awful, ridiculous spiral we are spinning down? What does Senator McCain propose? He so often has stated what Obama ISN'T doing, that I don't recall what McCain IS doing? In New York State, Governor Paterson has unequivocally stated it will be painful. Mayor Bloomberg hasn't yet lowered the boom. One can only wonder what the city will slash. How will the MTA scrape us down to bare bone to close their questionable deficits? As the prices go up and big business' profits also rise, what happens to the other 97% of us? Does either candidate have a viable plan or answer? What I do know is, we need all of the friends we can get as a nation. So many enemies have been made during the past seven and a half years, many are secretly delighting in our national woes. Others are enthusiastically awaiting a political change so they can offer an outstretched hand of help. We can't be friends with everyone, as we still must choose our friends wisely, however we sure don't need to make anymore enemies. So much has been on my mind, with random and stray thoughts hanging on to every corner of my brain. These are some of mine...what are yours?
