I think we all heard that Vice President Dick Cheney recently endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket. Let me take a moment to congratulate both Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin on this weighty endorsement. You both must be so proud.
To celebrate this stunning endorsement, Barack Obama has a new ad. My question is why isn't McCain more excited and bragging about this more? Is he embarrassed? Does this go against his whole "I'm the Maverick" and "I'm NOT more of the same" pitch? Oh well, too bad. When you sleep with dogs over 90% of the time, sometimes you get fleas.
Leaving the world a little better than I found it by sharing my passions and dreams, what inspires me, and maybe you too, and furthering the discussion about how we can listen to our better angels.

How Can McCain Fix an Economy He Doesn't Know (or Doesn't Care) Is Broken?
I don't know if John McCain doesn't know or doesn't care that there are severe problems with the economy. In a way it doesn't really matter.
Although it is kind of fun to think that maybe he believes that if he keeps repeating "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" as Sarah Palin clicks her heels, that maybe we'll magically travel back to a time when the economy was strong, jobs were plentiful, foreclosures were low, inflation was low, gas prices (and prices in general) were low, and people felt confident in their ability to support their families, send their kids to college, and retire. Oh, wait, those were The Clinton Years.
But I digress. Here's Obama's latest, and in my opinion, absolutely best ad of the campaign. I think this should run in every state all 24/7 until the election.
Share it with your friends.

The Magic Question
In light of the recent takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by the Feds, sale of Bear Stearns to JP Morgan, failure of many banks, this weekend's huge spike in gas prices (gas went from 3.95 to 4.39 in 2 days in my town) and now today's bankruptcy of Lehmann Brothers and sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America, there is one question we should ask outloud to anyone who will listen at every opportunity:
Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago? Is there more or less unemployment today than there was in 2000?
Ronald Reagan won in 1980 after asking these 2 questions in his final statement of the debate just 1 week before the election.
We can win by hammering this home too.

Yes We Will!

John McCain has so distorted Barack Obama's real record and experience, even Karl Rove is calling him on it. And if Karl Rove says your campaign tactics are out of line, you're clearly so far past the line of acceptability, you can't even see the line anymore.
Luckily, the mainstream media has started calling McCain and Palin on their lies. Check out how much of the MSM is no longer blind to the lies of McCain-Palin. (And then send that link to ALL your friends). (Thanks Tim!)My only worry is that the lies have been running strong and unchecked by the MSM for a couple of weeks now. Is it too late?
We must stand strong. We have 50 days left. 50 days to keep our focus. 50 days to spread our message. Our message of inspiration, hope and change, real change. 50 days to fight and stop the smears.
This election is too important to idly sit by and do nothing. Visit Barack Obama's website's Action Center for ways you can get involved. During the primaries, I spent a night calling voters in Ohio through the Obama website. It's easy and you can do it in your pj's.
Tell all your friends and family about the facts about Barack Obama. Here are more ideas on how to take action.
And make sure you forward this You Tube video to everyone you know.
Let's be clear: McCain and the neo-cons are trying to steal this election (here, here, here, and here). We owe it to future generations to prevent that from happening.
Yes We Can!
Here's a fun feel good website about Obama I just found built by 2 Stanford students.
Yes We Will!

Some Vintage Items are Cool, Some Are Not
Barack is stepping up his game. He's now taking overt swipes at McCain's incompetence, being out of touch and his age. All I can say is it's about time.
Rubik's Cube = cool vintage
Disco Balls = cool vintage
John McCain = out of touch

LMS EXCLUSLIVE: McCain IS The Green Candidate!
Clearly John McCain believes in being environmentally friendly during his campaign, which is why he has recycled a George Bush ad from 2004.
John McCain is more of the same.
