OBAMA wins: A personal look back at the primaries plus Barack speaks about the road ahead

This is the end of a journey and the beginning of an even greater and transcendent struggle. All of us Democrats, independents and disgruntled Republicans must make our stand against McCain's policy of war and economic inequality.
It's our time to turn hope into action and dream into reality.

Here' are some personal flashbacks from the primaries:
(with cameos in the video or photos by Kerry Washington, , Hill Harper , Tatyana Ali , Jasmine Guy ,
and Eric Byler ,
Ken Leung,
Kal Penn
Kelly Hu
Annabel Park, State Senator Gil Cedillo, Wendy Carrillo, Ted Kennedy, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama
and many, many others):

































Above: In a more intimate setting Barack addresses HQ staff and volunteers about the path we've traveled, and the road ahead.

Hillary Clinton concedes:


I for one am grateful for Hillary Clinton's gracious speech and welcome the Clinton supporters into the fold. We stand united against the war and against inequality. We stand together against the Bush-McCain domestic and foreign policies that have proved so disastrous. We seek, along with many independents and disgruntled Republicans, to turn the page and embrace a new era, when it is the majority of people of this nation, and this world that are the main beneficiaries of their and our collective efforts and not just the wealthiest.

Something that might help bring those Latinos still making up their minds is Hillary's full endorsement and support of Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

Si, Se Puede!

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BARACK and BARACKY, Hillarious, and sometimes, somewhat TRUE!

The Empire Strikes Barack


And baRACKY

Who is more "Elitist" ? Hypocritical attacks and what they reveal.

Who is more elitist? John McCain who is worth 40 million and wants to continue Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest? A man who is willing send billions of dollars to perpetuate a war based on lies? Barack Obama might now be worth 1 M, as a grammy-award winning author, but that pales in comparison with the Clinton's 100 M.  Barack came from a low-income, single-parent family. What's more important, his policies are the most just and beneficial towards the working and poor classes, that need the most help.

Mudslinging vs the Issues: Whose policies are the most "Elitist"?

Alright. So Barack Obama could've used better phrasing, but the truth is that people are angry, sick tired and yes embittered by an economy rigged in favor of multinational corporations and not the working classes. The worse the economy gets, the more scapegoating there is. Anyone hurt lashes, out. Fairly and unfairly sometimes. Sometimes people hold on to what they believe to be certain, whether that is their religion or the sense of security they seek in guns, since they are not getting that feeling from the government. Obama obviously wasn't blaming the people but the system that for so long has worked against them. A system that has driven people to react, to stand up against in droves. The same people that have given Bush such a dismal approval rating. The same people reflected in the dramatic rise in democratic turnout and democratic fund raising. The same people who can see that Bush's catastrophic economic policies would be perpetuated by John McCain, who now, flip-flopping, endorses Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The same people who see Billions of dollars going to a war that was sold to us on the basis of WMDs that weren't there. A war that only profits Halliburton and private contractors, a war that could be continued and expanded for hundreds years if McCain was in power. The logic behind staying is as poor as the one to invade. If things calm down a bit it's supposed to encourage us to continue, and if violence rises it's proof we need to be there. We're there because attacks on Americans continue, but they attack us because we're invading. In the meantime Al-Qaeda which was nowhere to be seen in Iraq while Saddam was in power is growing there and in other countries. McCain wants to continue changing regimes and nation-building, when it's this country's economy that needs to be lifted.

Now why would Hillary say Obama's comment is elitist? She must know what he meant.
CNN which now seems on a never-ending loop of the word "bitter", without offering any context to the remarks had brief moment of lucidity early on:



Could we at least talk a bit more about the fact that the surge didn't work. That troop levels are going to end up being higher than pre-surge? That the Republicans continue to move the goal post for political convenience? That they are setting their sights on Iran, who was actually responsible for adverting some of the escalating violence?

If the press talks about elitism, I want them to really reveal whose economic policies are more democratic and beneficial for all, and not just for the richest corporations.
Go ahead, dissect McCain's economic "plan", and Clinton's and Obama's. Let's talk about elitism. Let's talk not only about the race issue, but the other elephant in the room, elitism. I would welcome that discussion. It's time to look under the surface instead of accepting this trivial war of the 2 second sound-bites.

Si se puede

-Latinos, Barack Obama no se hecha para atrás en lo que dice. Barack aun apoya las licencias de conducción y un camino humanitario hacia la legalización. Incluso enfrentando gran oposición el candidato estuvo firme en contra de la guerra desde el principio, y no se dejo influenciar como otros que votaron a favor una la guerra basada en mentiras que tantas muertes ha causado. Barack Obama tiene la integridad y honestidad para traer el cambio necesario a este país. El no le dice una cosa a un grupo y otra a otros solo para conseguir votos: En la iglesia de Martín Luther King Jr el le pidió a la audiencia afro-americana que dejaran atrás la discriminación a otros grupos y que valoraran a los inmigrantes no como competencia sino como compañeros en la busca de oportunidad... En el debate televisado por CNN, mientras otros mantuvieron una posición hostil respecto a la influencia de los inmigrantes en la economía de otras minorías. Barack Obama dijo de frente que no se le puede hechar la culpa a una minoría cuando obviamente el problema económico es uno que sufrimos todos y es causado por la falta de inversión en infra-estructura, educación etc. Una economía en la cual el país invierte billones y billones de dólares en una guerra sin razón. Barack Obama no quiere dividirnos, quiere unir al país y sanarlo. Inspirarnos a ayudarnos los unos a los otros y tener una política exterior que exhauste las posibilidades diplomáticas antes de iniciar cualquier guerra. Obama, con un trasfondo racial mixto, y familia inmigrante, simboliza la armonía entre las distintas etnias y minorías de estos Estados Unidos de Norte América. Unámonos apoyando a Obama. El peleará por una mayor justicia e igualdad para todos. No es un sueño vacio, es un sueño que se puede realizar si lo crees. Si se puede... Si crees y votas con tu mente y tu corazón. Escucha sus palabras: Si Se puede, si nos unimos y nos movilizamos para alcanzarlo. Si se puede, este es el momento. Escucha el cantar de las masas... Si se puede. Únete y grítalo con nosotros Si se puede.
