"Dissent and disagreement with government is the life's blood of human freedom"

~ Keith Olbermann


I LOVE Keith Olbermann!

Want to keep your government in check? Keith Olbermann is helping in the regards! He spoke out when other newscasters were intimidated. He spoke out before it was popular and every newscaster in the media were being yes men and women. He spoke out because he is a true patriot. Decent IS being patriotic. If you cannot speak up for freedom and the Constitution as they seem to be slipping from our reality then you might as well live in a non democratic society.

Take note about Keith Olberman's career, he is now used much more by MSNBC... why? I think personally it is because he had the courage to speak what a lot of people were thinking.

He is pretty darn cute too.. smile.

Get out of Iraq? 

Republicans, except for Ron Paul, feel we should stay in Iraq.. win that war, whatever that is supposed to mean. Democrats feel it is time to leave.

What do you think?

~~*~~

Should US maintain its Embassy in Iraq? Should US stay in Iraq for 100 years as John McCain suggests?

No, get out of Iraq completely!

No, maybe one day we could have normal diplomatic relations with Iraq but now is not the time. We need to get out of there with great haste!

US should maintain its Embassy in Iraq ?

Meet Barack Obama 

Meet Barack

EARLY YEARS
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.

Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.

It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack's parents met. His mother was a student there, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.

Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.

THE COLLEGE YEARS
Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.

The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.

He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

POLITICAL CAREER
It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.

In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.

As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.

Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century. But above all his accomplishments and experiences, he is most proud and grateful for his family. His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6, live on Chicago's South Side.

    Great lens Kathy, 5 gold ones, I love Keith Olberman, he had the courage to say things that should have been said by all of the forth estate, however they lacked his courage and vision, I look forward to his show daily now. I want to include this lens as one of my favorites, I hope you keep updating it to keep us informed as to what Keith is doing. Happy Holidays! By the way, I'm in love and telling the world about it, though it is not a perfect love, whatever is? I feel more alive now than I have in years, I know pretty corney huh? See around the galaxy...

    You should pick John McCain as Worst Person because: He said last night that he had repudiated anyone in his campaign who used the Bill Ayers story about Obama. Tonight on ABCNews, they reported that his automated phone calls in Virginia were using the smear as of today. He said you can't be held responsible for the nuts who show up in your rallys. But you sure can if you incite to riot with inflammatory remarks.

    Keith Olberman is as scathingly critical of the man who acts as our president as he could be without having to worry about ever finding a job in broadcasting again. More power to him!
