THE FAMILY
Quotations:
‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.’Barack and Michelle…Family photos

I voted Hilary Clinton, and only support Hilary Clinton, No matter what Hilary Does suspend her campaign concede her campaign. No matter what Hilary does she could even support Obama and campaign for Obama I will never Vote for Barack Obama, I do think Amercia is ready for a black president, just not Barack Obama,,, The way The Democratic party handle this election with the Corporate Media propaganding this whole election, Turned this election upside down,, Obama could of ran over someone,, like Haley Berry, No one would care and still vote,, Obama..
There several million Voter right now like my self, will not ever vote for Barack Obama, Many like my self will be Voting for McCain, my reason is simple,, the Obama voter came on CNN & MSNBC and said if obama does not win the primary, Obama supporter will vote for McCain, Democratic party did not do anything to the obama camp to stop ,, why is obama party splittin the party in half, Now pelosi and many other are blamming Hilary and kept on with the propaganda Corporate Media, Obama Said on the new so many time,, does not Matter, if your Democrat or Republican,, you want the right person for the right Job,, He is so right,,when He said that we wanted Hilary,, Well Congrats to Obama his supporter got him to the primary,,,but He will never win the election,, for Prisident, I will not stop with my blogging,, who is the best man for the job between Barack & McCain,, will vote for McCain he will be way better than Barack Obama, I can put up for McCain for 4 years and Hilary Can run again, Pelosi and the rest of the democrat party,, days are number at this point, For pushing Hilary out and ruining her Career, Even now During Clinton Exit speech,, Democratic party Told Hilary if she does not back there little puppet Barack Obama they will ruin her career,, In my opinion They all ready Ruined Hilary Clintons Career, Right Now I am goint listen to one thing Barack Obama said, and that is, like I said, it does not matter if your Democrat or republican who is the right person for the job,,,, Hillary supporter need to stick together, Vote for McCain or just not vote for we need the right person,,, Hilary is up on stage right now saying what pelosi and the democratic party are telling her what to do,, or Economy is down and the way the propaganda Media is,, we are turning into a 3rd world country,, by rigging the election thru the media, Hilary Supporter who really want Hilary to be president Need to vote for McCain or just not Vote for Barack Obama, let McCain win,, there nothing more he can do as president, Congress will not let him it Congress who controls everything,, not the president, Pelosi and the a lot of the democratic party ruined Hilary Career, If all Hilary Voter, stick together, than We can restore Hilary Career and make her President, in 4 years. if you vote for Obama we have to wait maybe 8 years or 4 years and republican will be office, if Obama wins the presidency he will only be 4 year term,,, I say give all your supporter not to the democratic party, but to Hilary Clinton.. democratic party needs all of them need to leave office and get fresh people in there, who can unite the party not keep it separated and force unity, to who they want not who the voter want,, Hilary would of won this election, DNC screwed her with floriday and Michigan if those vote were counted at the beginning she would of won this race along time ago..and for the sexest Media, Like CNN & MSNBC… will continue to not report the new but Make it up as they see fit, All Hilary supporter need to unit together.. and stick together,, Margaret Thatcher was prime Minister 30 years ago,, but American Men and New Bias, is keeping woman down for personal gain, Like Keith Oberman, & Chris Mathews Who are the biggest Sexest on this MSNBC stations,

Wow, your intelligence really shows through here….
June 9, 2008 at 11:01 pm
apart from the fact that I only did skim through your long-winded and unnesicary slander of a good and honest man’s campegin to get elected I appriciate your enthusiasm in FLIP-FLOPING to the EVIL EMPIRE!!! I respond to your bias with this: “Hilary can’t satisfy her husband, what makes you think she can satisfy america?”
June 9, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Paul V,
People fear what they don’t know…Paul if you truly call yourself an AMERICAN you will do whats best for your country. Let me put it to you like this: America has refinanced and refinanced our equity so much so that we are upside down( to the tune of billions). Once the bank(China, Saudi Arabia, etc., etc,) is tired of us not making our payments, they will come and take our house (The United States). You wonder why all of these companies we’ve never heard of are coming in and buying up America……It’s because we are borrowing so much we can’t even begin to make a dent in our debt. So they come and the government lets them buy it at a discounted rate. Sound familiar? People are losing their homes at a rate never seen before….Have you been to the gas station lately? Have you seen the effect it’s had on the world economy?
If you are so selfish to only think of yourself and your feeling then go right ahead and do what you got to do…..I’ve got a suggestion though…… stand up for whats right for America.
Take a moment and think about it this way: Take away the names of the candidates and what side of the aisle they are on. Just look at the issues, if it were just issues which way would you go?
Paul, stand up, brush yourself off and keep going we are all in this together.
August 29, 2008 at 9:42 am
Paul V,
Only time will tell if America is ready for a black president. From your comments, I do not think you are. If the shoe was on the other foot, would you still vote for Hillary? If the things you suggested happened, happened in Hillary’s favor, would you still vote for Hillary?
You’re selfish. You would rather send soldiers into harms way for another 4 years to serve your scheme to get Hillary elected. Mccain is the war king and he thinks 5,000,000 is middle class. And you would vote for him?
You are not voting for, you are voting against. You are voting against because
you are afraid that Obama will be successful if you do not help Mccain. You are not ready….. Whatever you come up with as an excuse, the bottom line is YOU ARE NOT READY.

I hope you said your peace. Now it is time to take the inevitable step all citizens have to take on their own-vote on your own beliefs or at least what can come close to it for the truth is it is one or the other. Your attempt to either convince the other undecided voters makes you sound as if you are on a campaign yourself. You speak as if politics do not have unfair tactics. IT IS built on UNFAIR tactics. The reality is we all wait for them to deliver after they are all sworn it. All may make mistakes but it is theirs to claim but not yours to assume to discourage hope on any issues.

“OUR NEW BEST PRESIDENT IN THE USA!”
November 6, 2008 at 3:17 pm
To Paul V…hope youre shoving your words up your ass….PRESIDENT OBAMA…yeah!…in your face ignorant being
November 7, 2008 at 9:09 am
Yes! Barack Obama is our new President! And i am so happy im overwhelmed! Finally a black president now he can show that not all black people are dumb and stupid like most people think.
November 8, 2008 at 6:27 am
Well as we all know that he is our 44th president, so with that saying ” YES WE CAN” to the ignorant long bias comment 4 comments above me. Its not about color or race that will determine how someone will run things. Its about how determined that person is to actually do the work and accomplish it. And i believe that barack is the perfect choice.
November 9, 2008 at 3:06 am
In every aspect of one’s life, there is a path that leads us thru who people really are.
I applaud Barack and his family for taking up the challenge and we are quickly seeing that the first thing that the new first family has to fight is not that of health issues or econimic issues…….but that of race issues.
The Obama’s will never probably never see this note that i write, but i want to say that, more than they will ever know, that they have my prayers and that they are in my heart.
god speed to the family and friends and millions of people who need change in their lives for the sake of their children and their children’s children.
The path that barack took will not only affect america, but will affect the free world as we know it. i do not think for a momemt that barack thought that i, a man from a small caribbean island of trinidad, will know the impact of his changes. i believe in my heart that the wind is in our sails and that as a people…black, white, etc, etc,etc….that we CAN and WILL make a difference.
god bless you all.
November 15, 2008 at 7:32 pm

January 21, 2009 at 12:42 pm

I really began to lose focus of the majority of the comments made after both the third grammatical and fifth spelling errors.
~Mr. Paul V.,
Please, please, PLEASE…. If President Barack Obama is not good enough to run this country, I urge you to run. The only adult I know that is both as intelligent, and as well disciplined in English as you sound, would be George Bush. He served two terms, I’m sure you can get three out of it.
I urge anyone that reads this comment, please go back and look at Mr. V’s passionate opinion. Sure moved mountains…
VOTE PAUL V. FOR PRESIDENT!

I’m very happy to look Obama’s image

Good president
October 4, 2009 at 11:00 am
i know this is rather late. i do want to say something. it was said many, many moons ago that if a person has one drop of black blood in him he is black. but now that our president is mixed some people want to credit the white side. make up your mind which one is it.
