Obama's Energy Plan
Although this link is a couple months old, but covers current questions recently raised about Obama's longstanding work toward American energy independence. It seems that Obama's Presidency may loosen the vise-grip that the "military/oil/industrial complex" has held on our nation's leadership for generations. In short, Obama's vision may best improve foreign policy in trade and war, while addressing gas prices, and global warming.
Obama and Maliki, see "Eye to Eye"
Obama's exemplary leadership shines as he visits Afghanistan and Iraq. Recent meetings with President Talabani of Afghanistan, and Prime Minister Maliki of Iraq, as well as General Petreaus, demonstrate a preparedness to fulfill his anticipated role as Commander in Chief.

Obama Watch: National Security
My Plan for Iraq – by Obama
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/14/opinion/14obama.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin
This New York Times article gives Obama’s views and plans for resolving the ongoing War in Iraq. Obama’s approach is uncompromising, humanitarian, compassionate and well thought out. This is leadership, not a front for backroom business deals or coded pseudo-nationalistic rhetoric. We may finally have a leader as President.
Curious about Obama’s plans for National Security?

Obama Watch: Can Obama unify Americans and the World?
Can Obama unify Americans and the World?
http://www.ebonyjet.com/politics/national/index.aspx?id=8617
Senator Obama travels to Europe this month, to garnish and anchor international support for his 2008 Presidential Campaign. It seems that resistance to his inevitable leadership is most consistently based on a racially charged resentment. On the other hand, support for Obama seems both because of and in spite of race. Obama’s support seems consistently led by those who are “thinkers” embracing a global-world-village. It seems that humanity across national and cultural borders, are all poised and ready for the overdue eradication of assumed “white” privilege and superiority. Change is in the air…

Obama Watch: TASTELESS CARICATURE (The New Yorker)…
TASTELESS CARICATURE (The New Yorker)…
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080714/pl_politico/11719
How much does RACE factor into the Presidential Election?
Magazine portrayals of Presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama, clearly convey the polarizing and inherent sentiments stirred by American race consciousness.
The Associated Press and Obama’s spokesman slam the New Yorker’s “Tasteless and Offensive” portrayal of Senator Obama in a turban “bumping fist” with his wife donning not only an exaggerated Afro, but fatigues and an M-16 slung across her shoulder. Caricatures have always had their place in political satire, but where is the line drawn? How might race shape the expectations, perceptions, and reactions of all Americans? Only time will tell… but it seems that Obama’s Presidency would shed light on a lot of America’s covert and overtly racist sentiments.

Obama Watch 7-10
United for Change
http://my.barackobama.com/ufcvideo
This short but sensitive video, demonstrates the need for people to come together, black, white, young, and old. In United for Change, people are coming together as neighbors and communities, those who all agree that there is an urgent need for change in our nation. Senator Barak Obama clearly represents change and thus hope for unity. His approach to government and the numerous issues we face, have remained focused on the interests and needs of the people. In this particular video, we get a heartwarming introduction to the spirit of change that people are pursuing in their support of Obama. Although, this video as many others doesn’t offer detailed information on his policies, accomplishments, or goals for the Presidency, it does convey the unity that his Presidency promises for our nation. Unity is the hope that this nation is in urgent need of, and Obama represents that hope for positive change.
Star Jones' Response To Bill O'Reilly's Racist Comment
http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2008/02/26/open-letter-star-jones-checks-bill-o-reilly-s-racist-remark/
Star Jones – slams Bill O’Reilly for using the terms “lynching” and “party” in the same sentence, while referring to the “next First-Lady” Michelle Obama. Bill O’Reilly apparently “hung himself” by trying to make an analogy between his use of lynching and Justice Clarence Thomas’ use of the term during his confirmation hearings. Star successfully challenges the inherent assumption of entitlement, lack luster excuse of an apology, and the threatening and apparently threatened posture of some Americans who apparently still believe that the American dream still has no room for real equity for all people…. GO get ‘em Star!
Democratic Party Hosts Platform Meetings….
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/listening/
Democratic Platform Meetings are being held from July 19 to July 27, everyday Americans will be hosting Platform Meetings across the country. This is a long overdue opportunity for everyday people to shape the Democratic Party’s platform by shaping what issues are in the forefront. Formerly, this seemed reserved for major campaign contributors, organizations, and political pioneers. This is already an indicator of positive CHANGE… something Senator Obama’s campaign seems poised to promise and deliver.
