OBAMA FIRED UP IN SEATTLE 2.08.08

****************************
Seattle , today Noon....20,000 People Strong for Obama Rally....Another 3000 outside that he also spoke to. Kris Gregoire the Governor endorsed Obama. His Website has more photos and also ANOTHER song...."Fired Up" by one of the Members of Pearl Jam.There were another 3000-5000 outside that also got to listen to Obama. It is amazing that whenever he shows up the lines go for blocks, and he still finds a way to speak to the Voters, so they did not wait for naught. ( They could have been turned away, but they are not, ever.).The Crowds just larger and larger to see and Hear Obama and his messege.His Speech was also live on 3 Seattle TV stations.

He explained His Healthcare Plan, Universal Healthcare for ALL that need and want it.( Hill was down the street, saying that it was NOT Universal Healthcare- very deceptive and Wrong. I hate it when Candidates bend the truth).

I am a Northwest Person So I felt very lucky to see the Event Live on KIROTV.com, and live stream it, and it is also saved in their Video Archives.

*( Meanwhile this evening McCain held an event at the Westin Hotel, 800 showed up.
They had a lovely dinner}*

*** Please do read the Post Below about HEALTHCARE PLANS - scroll down, it does analyze both plans - it is a long post- but it explains all about Universal Healthcare and what is needed as seen by a Nurse of 20+ years ( On Obama's Blog he now has a Handbook that you can download that has ALL of his policies and programs and goals, so go check out his BLUEBOOK...Also please do see the post below- Skippy pointed out that the Storm ravaged South needs our Help.******

WE ARE ONE PEOPLE,WE ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR......

Barack Obama did Amazing last night , he WON 13 States. ( And it will be 14 if New Mexico is counted). MSNBC "perdicted" many elections way too early and they tend to "call" them based on the Exit Polls, instead of the Actual Numbers and Counts. Barack Obama in Some Amazing States that No One would have ever perdicted a month ago.
We have Many States and days to Go in this Battle to Save Our Country.
Do not lost Hope or Heart......

OBAMA DRAWING HUGE CROWDS IN OMAHA

********************************
10,000 Strong in Omaha Nebraska, just like he did in Idaho and Kansas and Missouri.This is WHAT Change Looks like.....This is WHAT One Nation Looks Like.....This is HOW we get back the White House....1000's across the Country are Lining up to Make Change.

The Queen has a Empty Purse.....

So today we learned that Hillary has run out of funds for her Campaign....that her workers are "DONATING THEIR TIME"....hmmm, have we heard that before ? Oh, that's right...we heard it from that Rudy fellow....Oh, I am so glad that her Husband and she were able to give FIVE Million to THEIR Campaign...What a relief. This really bothers me, because she "susposedly" had 110 Million in Her War Chest as of the end of December, and then after Iowa she had approximately 28 Million, and then during New Hampshire she had about 10 Million Susposedly.... So where is ALL the Money ? I think if you are going to run the Country , you have to be able to be frugal and spend money wisely. And the Colonel Mustard Pantsuits and eye makeup should not cost that much - right? Am I being catty ? No. I just think while I am scraping and to pay for food and sky high heating bills and taxes soon, I have a right to worry about Money......

And I watched her on the talk Shows Last weekend, talking about how People that can't afford to pay for Health Insurance, she said "we will go after their wages"....that 's right WAGE GARNISHMENT for poor people who can not afford Excessively High Absurd Insurance Payments.....So when you hear her talk about MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE ....remember she had to lend her campaign money and HER PEOPLE are working for FREE right now...DO THEY have Healthcare ? Great the people who work for Her Own Campaign are not getting paid....Maybe this is Her" Reality Check".

***PLEASE READ THE POST BELOW: I wrote the post below that her money problems were something that bear watching, also People support candidates by giving. Barack has raised Money from lots of little people, $10 and $20 at a time....

**************************************
Is there Financial Trouble in HillaryLand ? There is an issue that I have not heard covered covered in the Media, it is being covered in Blogatopia with great scrutiny.

The other day I watched Andrea Mitchell question Terry McCaulliffe about Hillary's Fundraising and Money on hand for the next states. During this exchange it came out that there might indeed be problems. BIG Problems that might indeed be part of the "Panic" that was being felt over at her Campaign Compound.

Andrea asked HOW MUCH did her Campaign have before Iowa ? He said over 100 Million. She asked How Much was left when they came to New Hampshire, he said, "28 MILLION" ( Sadly it turns out that his math is rather fuzzy).Tim Edsell has the MATH over at Huffington Post, and It is NOT even 28 Million. It is somewhere between 10-15 Million , with "about" 10 Million left for the next Surge of her campaign.

Here's the thing, the one thing we have learned, it is VERY important to have a President that can and does Manage Money, and understands it, Bush taught us this like no other president. But as someone that lives on a tight budget, I look at this very concerned. HOW did the Hillary Campaign Blow through over 75 Million in Iowa. Iowa???? Her supporters and all Voters really need to think about that , it is too bad the MSM does not think it is worth investigating or covering. Maybe there was more to the Crying Game then we know.

PLEASE BARACK DO NOT DO WEEKLY DEBATES, HILL JUST WANTS FREE AIRTIME AND ADS

Dear Barrack,
Please Please do NOT Give in to Hillary's Requests for Weekly Debates...She is Out of Money for Airtime and Ads.
Please stay involved with THE People, Everywhere you have gone with your Town Halls and reached out to People has been Wonderful for Getting YOUR Messege Out. She will have to figure out another way to get her OWN messege out....on her own.

If you are an Obama Supporter please do go to his website and his blog and Encourage him to remain Strong on this Issue.

Also while there are SUCH Huge Disparities regarding the Primary Issues ( Problems etc. in New Mexico and California) Please think about putting a messege of Reassurance on your Site to let people KNOW that THEIR Votes Count and that You and Your Team Cares and is working on the issues...

PLEASE DO SCROLL DOWN TO THE TWO POSTS DOWN BELOW CONCERNING HILLARYS' FINANCIAL SITUATION....IT IS VERY CONCERNING.

VOTING PROBLEMS IN NEW MEXICO AND CALIFORNIA.....

So I helped Some Math Professors track Voting Problems the other night.....And by 3am I KNEW that 2 states were having problems....and I was worried...but that is me...I worry...But the Numbers I was tracking were not really making sense...So then I got some emails about People trying to Vote Independent in California...Many Thousands are trying to Figure out if their Votes for Obama were indeed Counted all over California. If you are one of them, you are welcome to leave your story here and also please if you voted Independent in California go to Barack Obama's website and visit the National Voter Center and file your Concerns. Now the California Papers are already Investigating Problems there ( LA Times), but the MSM has been reluctant to touch this.

Other situation to WATCH Carefully is New Mexico, Today Governor Richardson and Others have an important meeting in NM due to some interesting problems there......Especially certain Counties...

I have One BIG Question....Is if Legal For People to drive around with Voting Boxes full of Ballots in their Car ???...Food For Thought...


( I will have more on this - hopefully by Friday afternoon if you want to leave Comment below or have voting stories that you want to share privately, please email me at enigma4ever@earthlink.net)

ROMNEY LEAVES THE BATTLEFIELD....2.7.08

It was nice to have him contributing to their confusion , especially it was insane watching him and McCain WHO would keep us in Iraq the Longest....It bothered me that he was Funding HIS OWN campaign....Anytime that a Candidate has only his OWN Financial Support- that is concerning...He suspended his Campaign.....at the Conservative Conference in DC today 9am....He did not get supported enough, he was not gunlovin' enough, he just was not a big enough War Monger? Or was it as simple as he didn't love Jesus in the right way? Pretty sad that is how a Leader is Measured...

But there will still be monthes to listen to WHO thinks he is is the most like Reagon....

HORRENDOUS STORMS AND TORNADOS RIP APART THE SOUTH ON SUPER TUESDAY

We hope and pray that these storms abate today, but so far all the states are still going on...Here in Cleveland we have a Tornado Warning and Watch until 8:30am.It was a long and stormy night from the South all the way up to Ohio Valley to my area. All Mid South States involved and it started last night a little after 5pm. 3000 Students at Union University In Jackson, Tennessee, 1200 Students at risk, trapped in storms and debris. 45 People dead, hundreds Injured, and People still missing. Search Dogs being brought to the region.

I will update this thread later in day.

GROUNDHOG DAY: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.....

**( Not fit for Young Innocent Children)**
How the Ground Hog Scene REALLY went Down...Notes from the Little Bugger's Diary:
Dear Diary:
I heard Noises outside, excited Humanoids getting ready for their godamned perdictions, waking me so they can figure out if it is godamed cold out there. And I was told that Homeland Security might want to check my home for weapons or some kind of Terra Crap, so I am ready for the Idiots, all of them. I mean haven't they learned that you just don't Wake a Sleeping Rodent ? Assholes. So find I stuck my Godamned Head out and they learned that there was going to be 6 more weeks of godamned Winter- Heartless Bastards- someone should wake THEM and ask them HOW COLD IS IT ? !!! THINK IT IS GOING TO STAY COLD ? ?? So yeah, Now I am Armed because of these morons. I mean Bears are Armed, so Why NOT Me ?!!

Have a GOOD Rest of Winter , I hope you Freeze Your Dumb Asses off....

TONIGHT MTV IS GOING TO HAVE OBAMA ON....

WHAT DOES CHANGE LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES A UNIFIED AMERICA LOOK LIKE?

What Does Change Look Like ? Does it Look Like Long Lines of people stretching around and around blocks and down roads ? Does it look a beautiful quilt patched and woven of all ages and colors ? Does it look Black, White, Hispanic,Latino, and Native American and Old and Young, Men and Women, and Young People.I see as much White Hair as I see young hair. I see Poor People and People of Means, makes NO Difference. All of these People have watched what Bush did to OUR Country, ALL of these People want OUR Country back.This is OUR Time, there are NO Second Chances for this time. It is Time to End Dynasties, and Make New Government.

These photos are from New Mexico, and long long lines again as people waited to see Obama. The Media Never Shows this- because it is Too Inspiring , Too Hopeful. It shows the Strength of People Coming together Waiting in Line , Getting in Line to Make Change.

In the past 36 Hours., MoveOn.Org Endorsed Obama ( nationwide Membership of 3.2 Million, 1.7 Million are Voting this Tuesday). SIEU Endorsed Obama with a membership of 650,000 people. The LA TIMES endorsed him ( I don't think they have endorsed a Democratic Candidate in over 35 years).Native Amercian Times Endorsed Obama. Momentum is Moving and Roling Now.....People are Fired Up. Yes We Can has Meaning......It is Real People standing in Lines and Cramming Halls and Auditoriums. Share the Hope.

Tonight Obama is On MTV at 6pm, share this information with young people ( they probablly already know.).

A LETTER TO WOLF AND THE TALKING HEADS....ABOUT THE "LOVEFEST " TICKET

So all day the Media, Especially CNN and Wolf Blitzer's Pundits have been telling US, WE THE PEOPLE should think about having a Wonder Ticket, a Dream ticket. Wolf in a truly carnivorous fashion has all day been chewing THE DREAM TICKET idea like a warm carcass....We also to a degree have watched Chris Matthews do the same "I want a Happy Feel Good Ending".

( These are the same idiots last summer that said that Rudy and Fred Thompson would be in a Dream Ticket).

As Democrats we have watched OUR ELection Process and Whitehouse Stolen TWICE in the past Eight years, What the hell gives you the Right to think you can dictate OUR Choice of Candidate. How Dare You behave in such a fraudelent manipulative controlling manner, after all that we have suffered as Voters. Let US the People SELECT our Own Candidates, and maybe you could report the FACTS, instead of Humping the Agenda Some Corporation is handing you.

As a Voter and an American I am Fed Up. You lied about Everything the Past 8 years, so why you think you are powerful or relevant is beyond me. ( The List of your journalistic failures is staggering, from the Election Scandels, to 911, to the Illegal Iraq War and the WMD, to Plamegate, to Katrina...etc etc.). For Once just try to report the Facts and LET Us VOTE our OWN Minds and Hearts. And please come Super Tuesday Don't You Dare Perdict or PROJECT EARLY, LET THE FACTS TELL THE TRUTH.

( If this keeps up I will have to Elvis my TV....because these were the Same Idiots that Aired Bill Clinton's "Jesse" Statements and Hill's Lovefest with Mr BTV Johnson.....There has been some really Bad Behavior by the Clintons, Obama has struggled to keep the Focus on the Issues. And Edwards also was deprived of much Needed Airtime For Issues......We as the Voters have had enough......it's time for Wolf and Tweety to chew on their Agenda Carcasses Alone.)
