OBAMA ACCEPTS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION....

Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination in a packed stadium and challenged John McCain to debate "who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next commander in chief."

In a riveting speech the Illinois Senator spelled out his plan for change to the American people.

Obama was greeted by tens of thousands of cheering supporters chanting "yes we can."

He called upon Americans to help usher in an era of change after eight years of what he called failed policies.

"Change happens because the American people demand it -- because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time," he said.

He brushed aside critiques from his Republican opponent, accusing him of being out of touch.

"It's not because John McCain doesn't care. it's because John McCain doesn't get it," he said of economic problems facing the country.

Point by point, he addressed McCain's policies on the Iraq war, the economy, offshore drilling and health care, accusing him of pursuing the same policies as the Bush administration.

Earlier in the evening former president Al Gore and Gov. Bill Richardson gave power speeches
blasting John McCain's support of Bush failed policies.

There were performances by Sheryl Crow and Stevie Wonder who sang sign seal delivered.

Wed Former President Bill Clinton indorsed Obama and said he is ready to lead the country.

HISTORY MAKING

The Democratic party made history last night with the first African American nominee
for President of the United States.

Senator Barack Obama won out over Senator Hillary Clinton in delegates to clinch
the nomination. But as always Clinton refused to concede and maintained her defiance
while exploring a future strategy.

Some say she will try an use her political savvy as a bargaining tool for the Vice President
position on the ticket.....

It may be a little to late as this bitter battle winds down as bridges are not that easy
to fix owing to the ferocity that this campaign has taken.

Could they work together an be comfortable? that would be something that would
have to be explored. Then there is the Bill Clinton factor, baggage which might turn
out to be a bad liability owing to his shoot from the hip tirades....

Obama will have an up hill battle as he seeks to mend the unity of the
party that has been fractured over the coarse of the primaries.

Last nights primaries were split with Hillary Clinton winning South Dakota and Obama
taken Montana which gave him enough of the delegates to win the nomination.

GENUINE HOPE by B. LEAKE

The senator from Arizona John McCain was recently
asked if Sen. Obama would make a good president.
His answer was absolutely....
But he thought he would make the better....

The reality is all these candidates are capable
of being President of The United States.

The question is who would be the best at this
time. McCains comments about Obama is a civil
gesture without all the negative bashing, non like
Hillary Clinton relentless tirades.

Weather he means it or not is a matter of his true heart.
Like racism is a matter of heart.

We are in a time when we need a change to the same
old Washington politics of the pass.

Obama in my opinion is the only candidate out of
the three that gives a genuine hope..... (CORNER TALK REPORT)

A BREACH OF PRIVACY

Can we just believe the recent invasion of Obama's passport file
is just the antic's of some curios contract employee or is there something
else going on here.

In 1991 the then-Gov. Bill Clinton’s passport file was compromised while he
waged a campaign for the White House against President George H. Bush.

The state Dept. announced that Mr. Obama's passport file had been
accessed three times over the pass 3 month by curious contract
employees.

The first breach, being reported took place on Jan 8, shortly after Obama
defeated Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N--.Y.) in the Iowa Caucus.
Again it was tapped on Feb. 21, and again on March 14.

The Obama camp is demanding to know who opened Mr. Obama's
file and to get to the bottom of who is responsible for this outrageous
breach of security and privacy. But a senior State Department official
continues to echo there was no political or malicious intent.
just the antics of the "curious".

This latest new comes on the heels O Mr. Obama's historic speech
on race in America which received 1.6 million clicks over on the youtube
site.
