Can America See Past Race, Religion and Sex?
2007-06-25 15:08:00 I have long believed that America is just too ignorant to openly accept, and elect, lawmakers that are not white, Christian, males. This is absolutely not derived from my own personal opinions and beliefs, but a commentary on the American citizenry. Many have argued with me. Some have even called me an "ignorant, detriment to our country...it's guys like you that claim to want to help America, but all you do is tear it apart." (Fellow co-worker made that statement this past year.)This past weekend my assertion became that much more powerful and accurate.While enjoying a Saturday evening dinner at a bar-and-grill restaurant with two friends, the question of who we think will win the presidency and party nominations came up. Honestly, we all had a tough time coming up with a quick answer, since so much can happen in the coming months that can have a great influence on voters.Mitt Romney's name came up and I was put on the spot as to whether I approve of...

Sen. Barack Obama: "Faith Got Hijacked"
2007-06-25 14:56:00 Sen. Barack Obama made a weekend appearance at the United Church of Christ at the Hartford Civic Center, speaking of how the "religious right" basically "hijacked" faith in America. ?...But somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together,? Mr. Obama said. ?Faith started being used to drive us apart. Faith got hijacked.? He attributed this partly to ?the so-called leaders of the Christian right, who?ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us.? Yet he said that in traveling around the country he had sensed an ?awakening? of an interfaith movement of ?progressives.? I would have to agree with Sen. Obama's assertion 100%. One of the most disappointing things I have been forced to watch is how America's so-called compassionate fundamental Christians have found a way to rip this country into two separate factions--the moral and immoral. Based solely on social politics, rooted in their religious interpretations, anybody who dares... More About: Political News
Official Endorsement: Kay Barnes for US Congress (MO)
2007-06-23 15:01:00 While this blog is obviously dedicated to Sen. Barack Obama and is to reflect and represent the views of those from Kansas City, I do occasionally tinker from the primary goal.Since moving to Kansas City, MO I have seen great development, prosperity and growth. During my undergraduate years attending the University of Kansas, I used to never visit Kansas City. Heck, I even put it down time-and-time again, always making reference to KC as "a city with such great untapped potential."Now I live in Kansas City, Mo near the Northland and man, what a difference just a few years can make. The Kansas City downtown is on the verge of becoming one of the most vibrant Great Plains/Midwestern cities around. While Chicago will always be the chief financial, entertainment, cultural and media capital of the Midwest, Kansas City is en route to becoming a great city right behind Chicago.The success of Kansas City must be attributed to it's very first female mayor, Kay Barnes ...

Sen. Barack Obama Releases List of Earmarks
2007-06-22 17:17:00 One of the most controversial topics around Washington D.C. lately has been the use of political earmarks by politicians. It's a very simple, and somewhat sleazy, practice really.Here's how it works:1. Legislator drafts a bill2. Congress debates the bill; recommends amends to the bill3. Legislator attaches a rider to the bill; unrelated request of tax dollars for local projects (i.e. A bill that would require seatbelts in all school busses would have another congressman attach a rider that would send $2 million to his legislative district to repair a bridge)4. Congress votes on the bill, which includes the earmark rider5. President signs the bill6. The American citizenry is fleeced of their tax dollarsThis practice of earmarks and riders has been going on for quite some time, but as of late, many politicians have said enough is enough. Congress is burning through money as if it does grow on trees and has no clue what they're even approving most of the time.Sen. Obama ... More About: Barack Obama , Political News , Barack , List

Illinois Moves Up Primary Date; "Super Tuesday" Stacked
2007-06-21 16:19:00 The Great State of Illinois , my home state, has officially made it law to move up the primary election to February 5, 2008. Illinois will join the ranks with several other key states as voters cast their ballots in a true "Super Tuesday " event.Now bear in mind, I am very pro-Chicago and pro-Illinois so excuse my high levels of civic pride. Illinois is the fifth largest state and contains Chicago, the third largest city, in the country. While Illinois and Chicago voters have never felt as though our votes "don't count or matter," since so many states have already taken grand steps to move forward their primary dates, it does make sense to have Illinois voters join the other states.New York, California, New Jersey, Georgia and Missouri will now share "Super Tuesday" with Illinois. The primary election may very well be determined after these states submit their votes alone, but anything and everything could happen.Will Illinois automatically go to Obama?&...

Correction: Mayor Bloomberg Unaffiliated; Not Seeking Presidential Bid
2007-06-21 16:12:00 Yesterday I incorrectly published a post that indicated Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially threw his hat in the ring for the US Presidential bid. This turns out to be not true, however, it is confirmed that he has dropped his political affiliation with the Republican party.To be very honest, if I were ever to run for politics...I would so much prefer to run as either a Libertarian candidate or a flat-out independent as well. The financial and political backing would be so much more readily available if I remained with the Democratic party, however, my own personal politics are somewhat more aligned with an independent candidate than a Republican and/or Democratic candidate.But how can you dare announce this on a pro-Obama blog representing Kansas City???? Because I'm not afraid to make such a statement. And why should I be. The majority of Americans are not actually sheep that need to be led by a shepard. Although, a great many do. There ar...

Bloomberg Enters Presidential Race; What's the Big Stir?
2007-06-20 16:47:00 New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has official thrown in his hat for the US Presidential election race. After weeks of rumors and speculations, it has become official.And it's already an overly-crowded Republican field too, right?!!? Well, yeah it is.

Sen. Barack Obama Damage Control: Punjab
2007-06-19 15:23:00 Whew doggie, making MAJOR waves through the online blogging community and media is recent criticism toward a memo that circulated out of the Sen. Barack Obama campaign team regarding Sen. Hillary Clinton's past relations with India. Within this memo, a tongue-in-cheek reference indicating Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab) is actually best suited to seek office in India. Despite a previous reference joking about such a topic made my Sen. Clinton herself about a year ago, many have found the memo with anti-Asian and xenophobic roots. Frankly, this is an absolute joke. It is stupid that such a memo was even created and released--people you are running a campaign for the next President of the United States of America!!! You are not running for some stupid small local office that such stupid antics may be of the norm. Sen.

Washington Post: Sen. Hillary Clinton Maintains Lead Due to Women
2007-06-12 16:31:00 Today's Washington Post attributes Sen. Hillary Clinton 's ongoing lead in her quest to gain the Democratic nomination due to a single demographic: women supporters.Presently, Sen. Barack Obama trails Sen. Clinton by a 15-point margin. Women voters currently support Sen. Clinton by a 2-1 ratio over Sen. Obama. Clinton is drawing especially strong support from lower-income, lesser-educated women -- voters her campaign strategists describe as "women with needs." Obama, by contrast, is faring better among highly educated women, who his campaign says are interested in elevating the political discourse.It will be very interesting what the Obama campaign dues to attract women voters into their camp. I don't believe that Sen. Clinton ever took the women voting bloc for granted, but I also haven't seen her aggressively campaign for their "rights" and/or "views." This is one more reason why Sen.

Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world. Obama joined the United Church of Christ because he knows it is politically expedient to do all he can to purge any notion that he is still a Muslim. Barack Hussein Obama was just one of the 34 U.S. senators who voted against making English the official language of America. It is also public record that Sens.
