Joe Biden Lights A Fire
OBAMA PLAN: REAL ECONOMIC RELIEF
FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES.
Washington Post Editorial: “McCain Campaign Insists on Completely Misrepresenting Mr. Obama’s Plan” on Taxes – Under McCain’s Plan, “Wealthiest Taxpayers Make Out Terrifically.” “The McCain campaign insists on completely misrepresenting Mr. Obama's plan… neither side should get to outright lie about its opponent's positions.” [Washington Post Editorial, 8/31/08]
Obama’s Tax Cut Plan “Offers Three Times The Break For Middle Class Families Than Proposals” Of McCain. “The tax cut plan of Democratic nominee to be Barack Obama offers three times the break for middle class families than proposals of likely Republican nominee John McCain, according to analysts working for a left‐leaning think tank. Families making between $37,595 and $66,354 of annual income with Obama would get an average tax cut of $1,042 per family while McCain’s tax cut for this group would be $319, the report states.” [Nashua Telegraph, 6/12/08]
Claim That Obama “Promises More Taxes On Small Business, Seniors, Your Life Savings, Your Family” Is “Simply Not True For The Vast Majority…” “The TV ad also says that Obama ‘promises more taxes on small business, seniors, your life savings, your family.’ This statement is simply not true for the vast majority of viewers who will see it.” [FactCheck.org, 8/8/08]
McCain’s Ad Is “False” In Its Claims Obama Will Raise Taxes On electricity. “McCain's new ad claims that Obama ‘says he'll raise taxes on electricity.’ That's false. Obama says no such thing.” [Factcheck.org, 7/30/08]
Obama: We Need To Increase Domestic Production By Telling Oil Companies To Use The
Land, Including Offshore, Already Leased Or They Lose It. Obama said, “And we do need to increase domestic production, and as President, I will…If we drill in the 68 million acres that are available, we can double our domestic oil production and increase natural gas production by 75 percent.” [Cedar Rapids, IA Remarks, 7/31/08]
McCain: Offshore Drilling Will Not Have Short Term Impact; Will Only Have a “Psychological Impact.” At a town hall today in Fresno, CA, McCain said, “So I don’t see an immediate relief…Even though it may take some years, the fact that we are exploiting those reserves would have a psychological impact that I think is beneficial.” [CNN Live Feed, Speech (Fresno,CA), 6/23/08]

Dear Michelle
Dear Michelle,
Way back on February 9th, the night before your husband made the formal announcement of his candidacy, I signed up on the barackobama.com website, joined the local Sacramento group, and started a newsletter for our group that eventually went nationwide. On February 11th, I created my own group, the Michelle Obama for First Lady Group.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/MichelleObamaforFirstLady
I did not know much about you, had only seen a couple of interviews, the last one the one you did with Oprah, and immediately knew you would make a terrific First Lady. I did not want you left out of the effort so I started the group as my way of also campaigning for you. I was shocked but very pleased when Joe Rospars featured the group on the campaign blog and thousands of people joined it. I did not know where I would head with it but knew we had a role to play. That same day when pundants were saying Barack was not enough of this or that, I created the ENOUGH logo using the Obama O and made my own ad about him being Enough and of having had enough of Bush. I made talking points that spelled out his name and answered all the questions about him being enough and having had enough of the Republicans. I was surprised and very pleased to hear that word and theme carried through to the convention this week. Here's a link to that old post on mybarackobama.com

Michelle, you have confirmed my first impressions and expectations, especially when you started the Women for Obama movement and I got my invitation from Betsy Myers to join with you. In fact, you have surpassed expectations to the point that my 79-year-old mother, a die-hard feminist and Clinton supporter eventually switched sides and started making comments such as "Michelle should run for president after her husband's term." You drew her over to the Obama campaign and even inspired her to sign up to volunteer at the local campaign office in Albuquerque, NM.
Thank you Michelle. I know this has not been an easy experience for you. During your husband's acceptance speech that night I could see the range of emotions run across your face - from immense pride and love of your husband to intense nervousness and worry and back again to genuine joy.
Do not allow the campaign handlers to change you too much, Michelle. We like you just the way you are, a real genuine woman who gets it and gets us. You, Michelle Obama, will make a terrific First Lady, First Mother, and First Wife. Congratulations!
Wake up America! Searching through a couple bags of trash for gotchas isn't solving the problems of the economy or our national security.

While John McCain and the Republicans focus on the symbolism of the contents of a few bags of trash someone told them might be left over from that DNC convention event with 80,000 people attending, Americans deal with the reality of the country's unemployment rate in August rising to 6.1 percent with a loss of over 84,000 jobs. That's right, picture the jobs of every person in that packed stadium as having disappeared and them being added to the unemployment lines in August.
Americans deal with the reality of the Feds taking over the country's two largest home mortgage institutions, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac and the citizens of this country being asked to chip in and pay for their losses on top of the losses we've already endured in the value of their own homes.

Wake up America! American are dealing with the reality that unemployment rose among almost all demographic groups, but women were hit hardest, with a rise of 0.7 pp to 5.3 percent. This is equal to the high for the last downturn in September of 2003. Black women saw their unemployment rate jump by 1.6 percentage points to 9.1 percent. The unemployment rate for blacks overall rose by 0.9 pp to 10.6 percent. The unemployment rate for Hispanics jumped by 0.6 pp to 8.0 percent, the highest level since reaching 8.1 percent in July of 2003.
Wake up America! Workers at all educational levels had an increase in their unemployment rates. Workers without high school degrees had the largest rise, with their unemployment rate going up 1.1 pp to 9.6 percent, the highest level since October of 1994.
Wake up America! While most sectors lost jobs last month, manufacturing was hardest hit with a loss of 61,000 jobs, driven by a loss of 39,000 jobs in the auto sector. Over the last year, the auto sector has lost 129,000 jobs, or 12.9 percent of total employment. Retail trade lost 19,900 jobs, driven primarily by a loss of 14,100 jobs in auto and auto parts stores.

This is cool!
Someone made a mosaic of Obama using photos of Obama supporters. My picture from the Sacramento Walk for Change event was used about 7 times. Click on the link to see the images up close.
