Boy thats some nice history rewriting.

Hello, I would love to share my experience; something that I will not forget for rest of my life. Today was a special day for me, and I was preparing for it. It was announced yesterday, March 14, for everyone to receive tickets to see none other than the President of the United States, Barack Obama!

When I got ready to get up the morning at 7 am, I did not rush and took my time since the admission started at 8:30 am. I ate some breakfast and got onto the train to get to Prince George’s Community College. When I got there, there was such a long line and I got so worried that I wouldn’t get a good seat to be able to see my interpreter! How was it possible for me to understand what Obama had to say?! ...

When I got in, I took many videos. What amazed me is that it took two hours to make it just right before Obama started. I did not realize how great of seats there were for us deaf people. Right front of Obama. I sat in VIP with the Governor Martin O’Malley and many other important people. So, it started at about 11. Obama was right front of me. I was ready to jump up and walk toward him and shake his hand. Could you imagine how the Secret Service would’ve responded? When I watched Obama give his speech on the stage I thought to myself, “No way, Obama is not standing right in front of me! Wow!”

If you want to know more about what Obama’s speech was about, you can find out online. I was close enough to touch Martin O’Malley on his shoulder but I didn’t want to bother him. I regret I could have done better holding my camera while talking to Obama. The moment I will never forget was when he looked at me. He gave me a chance to talk to him. It was like he was waiting for me to say something. I took the moment and signed “I am proud of you,” and his response was “Thank u” in sign language back! Oh my gosh! I was like wow! He understood me after I said I was proud of him. It was so amazing…I was just speechless. Right after he thanked me, he smiled at another deaf lady who signed “I love you.” When I shook his hand it did not feel like he was superior to me. He was just a humble man. I am just impressed by him and know that he will have my vote and he will win second term without a doubt. Yeah, I feel safe to have him for another term.

Obama caught on open mic telling Medvedev, "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility."

"After my election..." Republican outrage to follow.

They can suck it. If they didn't want another Obama term, they shouldn't have put on a clown show when a real political party would have put on a primary.

Interestingly, I heard Steve Forbes speak to the American Chamber of Commerce here last week, and he predicted that Mitt Romney would win both the primary and the Presidency. He was didn't have much nice to say about Romney, but his hatred for Obama was palpable. He put forth a whole litany "good works" that Republicans have done that have been shot down by the White House, and he feels that the discontent in America is enough that "anyone but Obama" will win the election.

Feh. I've had personal dealings with Forbes. He's an asshat.

The President used the term "Social Darwinism" today to attack the Ryan budget and similar manifestations of Republican ideology. It's not a term that's heard much in common discourse these days, and I imagine Obama gave some thought to the question of reintroducing it.

One of my first reactions was that many of those who are most inclined to champion it are among the least likely to favor biological Darwinism. I'd be interested in hearing other people's reactions.

Obama has called the GOP budget social Darwinism. Nice try, but they believe in social creationism.

In Obama's second visit as president to Newton, a city of about 15,000 east of Des Moines, he argued for Congress to renew wind energy tax credits.

Bless his heart, look at this 90 year old standing for his President





Lots of pics at DU.

After his speech, Obama met World War II veteran and 90-year-old Jasper County resident Archie Hackney at the end of the rope line. Hackney stood up from his wheelchair to greet the president. After speaking briefly, Obama gave Hackney a salute before exiting the finishing bay.

“I’m pretty proud of this,” Hackney said as he lifted a gold and blue medal in his hand. “It’s his personal medal. I don’t have much to say. I’m just glad I got to meet the president.”

Ahh, Hopey gets to tuck in and croon to his beautiful, sexy and classy wife. Unlike poor Ann Romney, who each night has to oil the Mittbot 2000, and power it down for the night, then go out and yell at the servants.

Sometimes, it's a good life.

In a solemn moment at 1 World Trade on Thursday, President Obama placed his hand on the First Lady’s back as they stared silently out a window, pondering the National September 11 Memorial 22 floors below.

“It’s beautiful,” the President said of the two massive fountains that now cover the footprints of the twin towers.

Later, Obama took in the memorial from ground level, and was clearly moved. “You don’t expect how powerful it is until you go down there and hear the sound of it,” he said.

“We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!” Obama wrote in red marker, finishing with his signature.

"When I meet these young people, all throughout communities, I see myself. Who knows what they might achieve? I see my daughters, and my nieces, and my nephews."

"That's the promise that draws so many talented, driven people to these shores. That's the promise that drew my own father here"

Obama Reprimands Booing Crowd: “Romney is a Patriotic American”

At a Georgia campaign event, the crowd booed at mention of Mitt Romney’s name by Barack Obama. Obama quickly responded: “Mr. Romney is a patriotic American.” When the crowd began to laugh at mention of Romney’s success in life, Obama quieted that too.

It is a touch of respectfulness that the campaign needs from both candidates. Americans are fervently divided over the choices for president. It leads to a poisoned political environment that spills into Congressional, state and local races. When the dislike turns to hatred, the civil nature of any democracy becomes at risk.

This is just a small correction by Obama. Hopefully, he continues to counter any attempts to demonize Romney. The same is true for Romney. In particular, Romney needs to counter some of the laughable conspiracies about Obama from the birthers to those who claim he has had drug-fueled gay encounters.
