Barack Obama Accepts his Party's Nomination
Posted by maLik ΙΦΘ at 11:47 AMAlthough I missed the live televised speech, I did nearly kill myself to stay up and watch the rerun at one this morning. Barack delivered an excellent speech last night. It was very classic in every way. He acknowledged the Clintons, got all up in McCain's throat, and gave a very accurate account of the last eight years under the Bush administration. I especially like the part when he shouted "enough!" Just think, forty five years earlier King gave his infamous "Dream" speech. Last night was so much bigger than Obama. Last night was a vindication for all those who died to give African Americans equal freedoms. Now we know that all of those nameless faces did not die in vain. Surprisingly, McCain had nothing but positive things to say about this historic event.
Breaking News: McCain has Chosen a Running Mate
Posted by maLik ΙΦΘ at 11:32 AMAccording to NBC and MSNBC, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, campaign officials told NBC News on Friday. She would be the first woman to serve on a Republican presidential ticket. The anti-abortion Palin would also be the first Alaskan ever to appear on a national ticket. Palin, 44, was elected Alaska's first woman governor in 2006. The state’s voters had grown weary of career politician Gov. Frank Murkowski, whom she defeated in the GOP primary. What does this say about McCain? Only that he is a snake after all! He criticized Obama for his lack of experience in foreign policy, Palin has none; criticized Obama for his overall youth, Palin is younger than Obama. I have to ask myself, what does a govoner know about Washington at all? Its all clear now. I really dont think McCain cares who his running mate is. They're just a pawn in his strategy to win the election. And from the looks of thing, he only picked a woman as his running mate to capitalize on the fact that Hilary was "overlooked" by Obama. Smph!
