POSITIVE PEOPLE - Please enlist here!

[Mind_your_head]

To post all the good and positive things about Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden.

I don't know about you, but I've had enough of hearin' about Sarsh i'm-(van)-fail'in and her scruffy kin. And I'm sick and tired of hearin' about mcsame and his dopey SECOND plastique wife....

LET'S TALK ABOUT real America, real change, good positive, hopeful things.....and the people who inspire such lofty thoughts.

(That's why people spent their whole lives building those impossibly lofty cathedrals back in medieval times - right before the Renaissance - to INSPIRE the lofty thoughts and ideas that LIVE within us ALL).

Peace,

1. I should be in bed...

but I just listened to Obama's speech about change. I read posts about people saying he isn't fighting, but he is! It's just that the news prefers stupid diversions. Anyway, hearing Obama and Biden gives me so much hope and peace.

I love Obama's energy plan. I took a lot of environmental classes in college, and had to read Gore's, 'Earth in the Balance', and from that I learned there is no one solution. Obama is diverse in ideas and in ways to implement them, and I love that about him.

Kennedy was killed when I was a couple months old. I never knew RFK or MLK, but mourned many years later when I learned about these amazing men. Nixon is my first memory, his trip to "Red" China was exciting, and then it was a President leaving office in disgrace, and the jokes from adults I didn't quite understand, along with their shame and anger.

I remember Carter telling Americans to turn down the furnace to 65, and then Reagan telling Americans we didn't have to conserve (in so many words) because we were Americans. That is when I perceived we started on the road to hell, and here we are.

Obama is the JFK, RFK and MLK for those of us who didn't get to experience that time, or were too young to grasp what was happening, but who have been yearning for a time with leaders like that. We only have a handful now, if that.

The JFK/Nixon election was as close as this one, if not closer. I'm nervous, but still have hope, which is something for this angry, cynical, bitter product of the Bush years. I knew when Obama came on the scene that he would one day be President, but I had no idea it would be so soon, but it MUST be now, and I have hope that it WILL be now. Amen.

4. A kind word of advice...

Posting something like this in the middle of the night isn't going to get too many replies. :)

But since I'm replying....

I recorded Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic convention. It was that good. I got choked up at the end of it, and that rarely happens for me.

I felt, in that moment, like we had actually won the election--that's how much hope this man inspires in a person. Hope is in short supply these days, but Obama is not only filled with it, he also has enough to share with the entire world.

It's a beautiful thing.

7. Thank you for replying so late in the night.....

Sorry to be posting so late in the night *usually*, but I'm living my REALITY life during the day. Posting and connecting to all of the good folks on DU is my "serious hobby" ~ which I do in 'good faith'.

Hope that makes sense. I'm tired and off to sleep (I hope).

Peace,
M_Y_H

P.S. Barack Obama is MORE than the just the 'hope' candidate. MILLIONS of people can't be 'wrong' (or thwarted ;-) ~ not ANYMORE!)

5. True story

My neighbor here on Fifth Ave in NYC is a famous clairvoyant seen on many crime shows on cable TV (you'll recognize her face) and has solved numerous crimes for local police department around the country.
My wife and I had her and her husband over for dinner last weekend and she confided to me that John McCain is going to lose this election to Barack Obama.
I though nothing at all about this because I'm not a big believer in so-called fortune tellers.
When she left my wife advised me that the lady is a Republican and she drives around with a McCain bumper-sticker on her BMW.
So, who knows? Take it with a grain of salt

6. I'm positive they're liars and I'm not voting for them.

There...I said something "positive" about McPalin...
