Congratulation Barack Obama!

| | A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction... This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together. |

I am absolutely loving this moment in history right now. I will watch the primary results in NH, FL, SC, NV and etc. with incredible intensity and joyful and bleary eyes. I truly believe in Obama's message about hope. I am ready for a change in the dirty establishment called DC Politics. I really want to see what a Pres. Obama could do in this world.
And to all of the planation-minded scared-as-hell Black folks who cannot get over their own racial fears and hang-ups long enough to give Barack the benefit of the doubt or the vote --- just shut up and stay home. We need voters who are beleivers, do-ers and actors with positive attitudes. If Barack is strong and fearless enough to believe that he can and should run for President, we should believe in him too. He has committed to this race despite knowing all the craziness that would come with it --- the death threats, the negative ads, the campaign trail lies, etc.--- but he believes that we are worth it and that leading this country is worth it. To Barack and Michelle, I say "Thank You" and I will see you in November!!!!
