    I've never seen him so fired up, but I love it. You can tell he's passionate about America. Take that Clinton and McCain!

    Obama just kicked off a campaign to get 1.5 million donors by May 6th. He's already at 1.3 million donors. Amazing!

    Bruce Springstreen officially endorses Barack Obama

    Seeing as to me, American/patriotic music IS 'The Boss', I am very happy to see this endorsement.

    Make sure everyone watches one of the Colbert reruns for Thursday. Obama did the on notice board! :lol:

    Still watch the rerun though. Hillary came on (to "fix" the TV screen for Obama's appearance, LOL) then Edwards came on and did The Word which was a great segment.

    So I had an interesting dinner tonight. My family got together for Passover (Jewish stuff) and the conversation led into politics and Barack Obama. I know my grandparents are racist and won't ever vote for a black guy, and they both have a very short fuse. They already don't like me, and I had nothing to lose, so I said "I voted for Obama in the primary and hope he becomes our next president." As expected, that set them off, and my grandfather said something along the lines of "Obama shouldn't be allowed to run this country. He disgusts me. He's an anti-semite and any Jew who votes for him needs his head examined. Blah blah blah" and then he mumbled some other stuff, including a word that rhymes with "bigger" which does not need repeating...you get the idea. Then the rest of my family, which was 7 other people (including my aunt and uncle who used to be conservative republicans!) all chimed in and said they will be voting for Obama and someone at the table said "You have 8 Jews here who are voting for Obama, you're telling us we all need our head examined???" Shut him up pretty quickly :lol: The conversation pretty much ended there as he knew we had won the argument. This obviously won't change my grandparents mind. They're both almost 90 years old, racist and senile. But it was just awesome seeing them get pwned like that.

    When Hillary finally realizes she has no chance to win this nomination and bows out, or by August when the Democratic National Convention occurs thus proving Obama to be the winner and thus guaranteeing we won't win in November because we gave McCain too much valuable time.

    That's why Hillary Clinton is disliked by many Democrats. She is doing whatever she can to make sure that if she doesn't get into the White House, nobody can.

    I didn't realize the DNC wasn't until August. Someone needs to off her and quick.

    Hillary is being interviewed on Countdown with Keith Olbermann right now. I'm at work right now, will be watching later (god bless TiVo) but from what I've read on the DailyKos live blog of the show, he is hitting her hard with questions and she's struggling to answer and making an even bigger fool of herself. Complete ownage. Countdown will re-air 2 more times later tonight on MSNBC (check your local listings for times). If you're not watching it now, watch it tonight.
