Why Obama will Win

**Boon Mee** · 08-10-2008, 05:34 PM

^ No, this is what America needs!

Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing.

This music video embodies : its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building. The willingness of all was a testament to our hope, unity, courage, joy and belief in the future represented by these children.

WE'RE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD
Music and lyrics by Lily Campbell, age 9

We're gonna spread happiness
We're gonna spread freedom
Obama's gonna change it
Obama's gonna lead 'em

We're gonna change it
And rearrange it
We're gonna change the world.

SING FOR CHANGE
Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada

Now's the moment, lift each voice to sing
Sing with all your heart!
For our children, for our families,
Nations all joined as one.
Sing for joy and sing abundant peace,
Courage, justice, hope!
Sing together, hold each precious hand,
Lifting each other up;
Sing for vision, sing for unity,
Lifting our hearts to Sing!

YES WE CAN
Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada

Yes we can
Lift each other up
In peace, in love, in hope
Change! Change!

In the final leg of the race BO has a 3 to 1 advantage on TV time for the few left.

How do you like these apples?

Obama Outspending McCain Nearly 3 to 1 on Television

Barack Obama is outspending John McCain at nearly a three-to-one clip on television time in the final weeks of the presidential election, according to ad buy information obtained by The Fix, a financial edge that is almost certainly contributing to the momentum for the Illinois senator in key battleground states.

Just who is BO and who is pulling his strings, eh?

"Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.

"During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip, stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family."

Who financed this costly world tour?

On his return, he stopped being Barry and became Barack, and went to Columbia University where tuition is anything but cheap. Who paid it? After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. A year. "Why Chicago? " the reader asked. "Why not New York? He was already living in New York."

Yes indeed...just who did finance this Manchurian Candidate anyhow, hmmmm?

But, if those are warts on the mounds of his middle and ring finger, he is warped. Get me a pic of his right palm, please.

That's a winning hand for sure, Jettie

**Boon Mee** · 10-10-2008, 12:20 AM

Well, we know this much about BO don't we?
Fine Presidential material...Not!

"Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. ...You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection." -- Barack Obama

"Obama supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions." -- Obama's website

"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." -- Barack Obama

This guy is definitely not ready for prime-time plus, he's basically a race-baiter...

**longway** · 10-10-2008, 12:48 AM

^ So what? All that says is that he has a soul and not always PC. As for Iran, its been a clusterfuck going along with GWB's policies.

Anyway, who is Sara Palin? I mean the real person, behind the sound-bites, no-one really knows, including McCain. And you too.

**Boon Mee** · 10-10-2008, 01:49 AM

^He has a soul? What does that mean?

Re Palin - for one thing, she has established creds rooting out corruption within her state plus, she's of a Conservative persuasion which is always good...

btw...let's find out about BO & the Democratic Socialists of America, New Party, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, ACORN, Rev. Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Tony Rezko — so many questions for the most liberal member of the senate, so little time.

My bet is George Soros and the rest of that Pinko crowd like the subprime King who sold out to...can't recall the name of which bank that went under during this past week - not OBL...jeeze Stroll, get a grip.

**sabang** · 10-10-2008, 07:28 AM

Obama will win because the Republicans are out of time, and flat out of ideas, as is obvious from reading the recent disembodied rantings from the faithful.

By all means vote McSame because people sing Obama songs, or Obama honestly admitting smoking Pot, being half black and intelligent to boot, raising money for charity with (Horror) Bill Ayers, having the temerity to graduate summa cum laude from Harvard and Columbia, travelling the world, and having a non Anglo Saxon name. It's your vote if you are American, however you see fit.

Surprisingly however, quite a lot of Americans vote will be motivated by the catastrophe that was the Bush administration, their declining net worth, and the current mess that their great nation is in.

Ahhh, the Audacity of Hope.

**longway** · 10-10-2008, 08:36 AM

He has a soul? What does that mean?

Obviously only a die-hard republican would have to ask that question.

Anyway he comes accross, at most, as sociaist as someone like Tony Blair, probably less so.

Sara Palin is still very much an unknown quantity, recently she has shown no hesitation in getting into the gutter in McCain's campaign against BO. If his past associations are such an important issue, why did not McCain bring them up in the debate?

He's a mainstream American politician; Milton Friedman seems dangerously leftist to these guys.

What I mind most depressing about the whole sorry spectacle is that the inane drivel about who paid for Obama's year abroad, or who he may have sat on charity boards with, or whether the guy who drove a bus he caught in February 1983 once smoked a joint seems to represent the pinnacle of political debate. American politics (like most "democratic" politics) is largely a pointless game of muscial chairs played by the elite but still, it's a little sad to see you bickering about this petty rubbish.

George Soros and the rest of that Pinko crowd

George Soros? Pinko? See my comment above.

**sabang** · 10-10-2008, 09:50 AM

George Soros is absolutely pinko to these guys, because- billionaire Investor that he is- he had the temerity to tell the US government exactly what they were doing wrong, and even publish a book about it. And was subsequently proved right.

I think that americans have so many problems with their ballets that in the rush of excitement(that they seem to have at these events), with the imminent decision in front of them, and it comes to choosing, all of a sudden a great unyielding fear and derangement will come over them!
they see the intended name of obama, their choice for a difference, a change from the past mysteriously change in front of their very eyes, changed somehow by some miraculous means into a name associated with fear and death, that the very sight brings almost all to a crying fit.

Somehow those sweet caring republicans have managed to mess around again and change his name to osama, (and theyll probably get away with it, if not for those pesky kids) creating a psychological barrier for any willing devotee to turn and instead vote for there next best choice when in severe doubt and depression. Thats right, food, surprisingly the same name of a certain foods manufacturer, they all select in such a great moment like this that which most american holds dear, their stomach. And so a great new leader is picked, and not for all the tosh about providing a better environment and stable economy public spending and education, no, because of a name! How great thy mind, that such as we could ever hope dare reach, hail thee........thou mighty and strong, thy protector

a man named McCain

Dont knock how tough these americans have it picking a name at a ballet with this much stress and confusion in name, it would surely be enough to cause even a few europeans to flounder!

Because Obama bites back with effectiveness unlike the wimps the Dems usually have running. The biting will be left to the pitbull with lipstick. IMO, McCain is a man of character and one who does not condone the negative stuff. Unfortunately, I believe he has conceded to his campaign managers somewhat on the negativity approach. He has put his foot down regarding bringing the Rev Wright issue back in play and I hope he stays firm on that. In watching McCain in the last few weeks, I get the sense he is losing the style and confidence that won him the GOP nomination. He came from behind in the primaries by firing his campaign advisors and just doing his thing without all the handlers telling him what to do. Probably to late to do that now but he does need to take control, come up with a good econmic plan and get into his comfort zone.

ZOGBY- "Dead Heat"

"... mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didn’t embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days before the election."

The presidential race is still too close to call and could come down to the very last weekend before voters decide if they like or distrust Barack Obama, a national pollster predicts.

“I don’t think Obama has closed the deal yet,” pollster John Zogby told the Herald yesterday.

Zogby’s latest poll, released yesterday in conjunction with C-Span and Reuters, shows Obama and John McCain in a statistical dead heat, with the Illinois Democrat up 48-45 percent.

Zogby said the race mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didn’t embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days before the election.

“The Sunday before the election the dam burst,” Zogby said of the 1980 tilt. “That’s when voters determined they were comfortable with Reagan.”

Heh...

**ChiangMai noon** · 10-10-2008, 05:19 PM

did well to find a poll that isn't predicting an absolute landslide.

well done booners.

**ChiangMai noon** · 10-10-2008, 05:22 PM

even zogby which has a pretty low polling rating has obama by 3. in today's polls.

10th october....

gallup +11.

Agree. The race is not over. Many things can happen even on the eve of the election. One of the most amazing turn arounds was in the Truman/Dewy election where Dewy was much farther ahead in the polls than Obama is now. This cartoon reminds me of some of the words I am hearing on the news and herein TD.

Dan · 10-10-2008, 06:06 PM

^ Yup. Also, people lie in opinion polls. In 1992, before the UK election in that year, the polls were showing Labour and the Tories neck-and-neck but the Tories won with a 5% lead. One reason for this was that the Tories were seen as the party of failure (the country had slipped into a recession) and voters were embarrassed to admit to voting for a party that was shite but which guaranteed (or said it guaranteed) their selfish interests.
