The Time Is Now

"What we face is above all a moral issue; that at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country." - Ted Kennedy

Photos from my trip to Washington. Because I was there on business, I only had a few hours to see the sights. 9th Grade US history review: Can you name all the historic monuments I visited?

A New Era of Hope

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord."
-- Barack Obama Inaugural Address 2009

Change Has Come To America

Yes We Can

Today, I jumped out of bed put on something blue and rushed out to the polls to be first inline. On my way out the door, I realized someone had stolen my Obama yard sign and replaced it with a McCain sign. I didn’t let this incident ruin my favorite day that only comes around every 4 years. I voted! And I voted with hope instead of fear.

But now that this exciting election season is coming to an end, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself after today. I’ve spent the last 9 months reading political blogs, staring at polls, volunteering for Maine Dems, and arguing with all and any republicans, and now it’s about to be over.

This has be an epic election season and I’m glad that I’ve played a part in all this excitement. I hope I don’t go through election withdrawals, but I’ll be back in full political swing in 2012.

Please don’t forget to VOTE!

Is Joe Here?

This is the best political blunder caught on camera. Well, maybe not the best...but it still makes me laugh every time I watch.

Wave that Flag, Wave Wide and High

And Barack is grateful.

In Case You Missed Barack Obama Last Night

The Bump a Symbol of Change

Let's give it up to Barack Obama for wining the democratic nomination.  But more importantly for giving Michelle Obama the bump.  At the climatic moment when the Senator from Illinois was about to accept the nomination the whole world watched Barack gently knock knuckles with his wife Michelle.  Yes that's right -- Barack gives the bump.  While others my shake, hug, kiss, give a thumbs-up, high-five or low-five, Barack is truly the man to bring change and throws out the bump.
