We Are The Ones - Obama

Beautiful message of hope.

OBAMA!

Wow, he was amazing!
This has to be our next president.

OH YES!

New York, I Love You.
I do, I really do!

Embedded

If you live in the Tampa Bay area, don't miss the Jobsite Theatre production of Embedded. You have this weekend and next to get out there and get yourself all riled up for the election. Hilarious, infuriating, unique, intelligent, it's good, provocative theater. And the masks are really so cool.

It's Joe!

Obama/Biden sounds really good to me. I'm feeling encouraged and excited. But they've got lots of work to do. Especially since we have all seen in the last few elections, and historically, how Republican presidential campaigns "can degenerate to the rankest kind of ruthlessness and ugliness, usually at the expense of the Democrat.
Joe Biden is a good model to follow here. A few months ago, after being asked on MSNBC about attacks on Senator Obama that were being unleashed by Senators McCain and Joe Lieberman, Mr. Biden said:
'I refuse to sit back like we did in 2000 and 2004. This administration is the worst administration in American foreign policy in modern history -- maybe ever....Every single thing they've touched has been a near-disaster.'
A populist message and a willingness to take the fight to his opponent is Barack Obama's ticket to the White House."

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

See where some big corps are placing their influence.
Think about where you place yours.
FedEx, HP, Merrill Lynch, not so much.
Citigroup, Google, JPMorgan Chase, that's more like it.
Time to let them know what you think. Money talks.

My CDC Guy

Steve began working for CDC right out of college and I remember when he was climbing the tenements of NYC, roaches dropping into the cuffs of his pants, to let people know they had once had sex with someone who had an STD. He was working on AIDs before there was a name for it. He's traveled the world to bring health care and education to third world countries, working not only on STDs but maternal health as well. I'm really proud of what he has done and how cool is it that they put him on the cover of this new book!
