Obama Speaks Of Tearing Down New Walls

Barack Obama, visiting Germany during the first leg of his European visit, looked and sounded presidential while speaking to a crowd waving signs and cheering for the democratic nominee. His reception in Germany was like that of a rock star, and his speech to more than 200,00 in Berlin spoke of tearing down new walls, and building greater international relationships.

John McCain may regret challenging his democratic opponent to travel abroad. The Arizona senator commented repeatedly that Obama lacked the foreign policy experience to to forge relationships overseas. But so far, the European community has welcomed Obama with open arms. One reason is because many see McCain's international agenda and the same as that of President Bush.

What's On My Mind...

Former White House Aide Say's Bush Sold "Propaganda" To American Public


Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan claims in his new book that President Bush knew that the Iraq war was a serious mistake, and called the invasion a "serious strategic blunder". McClellan says that Bush sold the war to the American public with information based on political propaganda instead of truth.

The book, titled "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception", states that Bush turned away from a policy of candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed. McClellan also says that "the way Bush handled Iraq almost guaranteed that the use of force was the only feasible option".

March marked five years since the US invasion of Iraq. The Department of Defense confirms the deaths of 4083 American troops since the start of the war, and the numbers continue to climb. Bush is currently petitioning Congress for more money to fund the insurgency, and promises to veto a proposed bill to improve education benefits to returning veterans.

In the meantime, there have still been no signs of weapons of mass destruction, nor will the president commit to a timetable for the removal of US Troops. There is a misguided opinion that the Iraqi government will adopt policies favorable to the Bush White House, and while all of this political maneuvering is going on, both American soldiers and Iraqi civilians lose their lives daily.

My question is... To what end?

Why We Should Think Before Speaking


We have all experienced that momentary blunder. Words spew from our mouths as if having a mind of their own, and before realizing what is being said, they have already had an impact. Those words may have expressed exactly how we felt or thought subconsciously, but should have been spoken in a manner which reflected much more thought.

Is America Ready For a Black President?

Blacks have been involved in the process of political leadership since before reconstruction. Vernon Jordon was a close confidant of President Clinton. Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell have both served as Secretary of State, and many other Blacks have held high political posts both in state and national government. Leadership abilities were not heaped on just one ethnic group or gender. We should not be so focused on the character that fills the seat of the white house, but rather, the character of the man.
