During the hype of the past election, which more closely resembled the Super Bowl, and the ensuing Obama Mania, there was a rumbling that picked up a lot of steam, and that’s the quiet roar being heard from Third Party candidates. As the policies of Democrats and Republicans converge, more and more voters are seeking out other options, and as they learn about their philosophies, they are realizing just how little choice they’ve had when deciding upon our leaders in our recent history.

Un mensaje de Brack Obama. His Spanish is pretty good!

According to CNN and the Albany Times Union, hundreds of absentee ballots printed with the democratic nominee’s name as “Barack Osama” were sent to NY voters in Rensselaer County. Officials said these ballots were sent through three rounds of proof-reading. Corrected ballots will be sent out if requested.

Three sets of eyes (probably more), two nominees (their names all over TV, the internet, t-shirts, buttons, naked girls, magazines) and one position; the president of USA. This is probably the most documented election ever. The VP debate brought in over 70 million viewers! You’re going to tell me that the Rensselaer County’s election commission or whoever was in charge of printing these ballots didn’t realize it said Barack OSAMA? I don’t buy it and I’m pretty sure you don’t either.

Here’s a quick lesson on how to remember the spelling of Barack’s last name: Continue Reading

I think this video speaks for itself. What is this Obama baby phenomenon? There are over 2,500 results when you search YouTube for “Obama” and “Baby”. Maybe our Democratic White House hopeful really is the Messiah!

What do you think? Sound off in the comments!

I was in the Philippines when Obama clinched the Democratic Presidential nomination and missed out on a lot of the news coverage here in the US. While I did watch CNN International, apparently they neglected to cover the Democratic presidential hopeful and his wife pounding it out in celebration of his hard fought victory. Really? Yes.

So what does this say about Obama and his marriage to Michelle? For many, it says a lot. If anything, it portrays their relationship and how they get along and work as a team. It also shows a president from another generation and another mindset, who has the ability to connect with the youth of a nation that was not only left out of, but disinterested in the political process for far too long.

While I do think the fist pound between this up and coming powerhouse couple is pretty damn cool, I’m not amazed at how the news media has jumped on it, reporting on instances where Barack was approached by a young boy, only to turn down his request for a “pound” which is completely understandable in my opinion. The fist pound has the potential to turn into an unofficial gesture for the Obama campaign. In a way, their fist pound reflects the attitude and slogan of his campaign.

Yes, I am an African American.

Yes, my name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Yes, it’s true that I have only served in the Senate since November 2004.

But yes, we did just win the Democratic presidential nomination (insert fist pound).
