Hey Natasha, why the long face?
That's not the Emil Jones I knew...
Chicago Sun-Times; Delegate says Jones called her 'Uncle Tom' Illinois' NOW president calls for Jones' resignation:
DENVER -- Barack Obama on Monday disavowed a racially charged dispute involving his political mentor, Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, as Jones issued a quasi-apology to the Hillary Clinton supporter he allegedly called an 'Uncle Tom.'
'We don't have time for that kind of stuff,' Obama told a reporter who asked him about the flap at the Quad Cities Airport in Moline, Ill. 'What we need to do is focus on unifying the party to win in November, and that's what I intend to do.'
Just hours before Jones received a last-minute, pre-prime-time speaking role at the Democratic National Convention, he expressed regret to Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb for insulting her -- after insisting earlier in the day he had no reason to apologize to her.
The Obama camp and Jones worked feverishly to minimize fallout from the racial flap that threatened to further alienate Clinton supporters and raise questions about why Jones was awarded a coveted convention speaking role while immersed in such an incendiary controversy.
Gallup Daily: No Bounce for Obama in Post-Biden Tracking
McCain creeps ahead, 46% to 44%
PRINCETON, NJ -- It's official: Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support out of his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.
Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after Obama's Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week's standing for both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

..on the Michele Obama articles.
maybe the lowlifes have spewed out their disgusting comments?? Michelle is an intelligent woman, and a threat to good old boys - a double threat as a black woman. She can only enhance an Obama/Biden ticket, and the country would be lucky to have her as fist lady!
Attacking the little girls is a case in point!
'Michelle is an intelligent woman,'
Not according to her SAT scores or her words.
'She can only enhance an Obama/Biden ticket,'
As long as she reads the teleprompter.
It looked like she was doing a good job of talking without reading - what are you talking about? Bush can't even read a teleprompter let alone talk without one, so Hillary, Obama and Michelle have been a welcome change.
'It looked like she was doing a good job of talking without reading - what are you talking about? '
LOL! It was a speech, written by someone else, full of cliché that was tested in focus groups and geared to press the most buttons. It was then transfered to a teleprompter where she read it over and over until she could say the words given to her. (without blurting out Damn America or you are a bunch of cracker bigots if you don't vote for my husband)

Fate, its supper table, and Obama
***************************
(The tragic sudden …..?)
Mr. Barak Obama,
If you aren’t a chosen by fate, definitely, given the man you are and given the circumstances, you are fate prone, that is also: by mediation assigned/destined.
You are so to speak, Mr. Barak Obama, ‘a faty man’.
Also implying ‘a supper’, a Jude (‘Jude Iscariot’ …..) participating, and normally a Caiaphas somewhere.
Because that’s how fate often if not always works: its its, it including a Jude and maybe some sort of a Caiaphas, so that by transcendence what fate is about it shall become on top of all new involved being to direct it (also: new ‘dimension’ needs accomplished now it being, because how else does orientation imply sure destiny?; using a road map what is the use of it if what it shows is not ‘accomplished’?; what Mars, Mr. Obama, if Who is The Way is never councilled?).
One could call all this a ‘mechanism’ (a ‘workings’) of the coming ‘in The Christ Due Wise’.
All this (also) means, Mr. Barak Obama, that if you are in danger, maybe from close vicinity (the supper’s buy …..), rather then from ‘far away’, it may ‘substantiate’ its resolve, consequentially striking at you in whatever way.
So FBI, CIA and whatever: let them much also keep track of what happens in your proximity.
And then never forget, Mr. Obama, Caesar saying: Also you, Brute!
As you well know, Mr. Obama, politics is tough business, ever more cynic than whatever tears call for a heart, callous its hide.
And you are a crown prince, Mr. Obama, a crown prince of USA fate!
And again: maybe so fit you proved for the job, mediation of fate-meant-intricacies-and-goal sorted you ‘ in’ as for assignment and destiny a prime (as if fate went shopping and a Barak Obama was exactly what was needed).
Even much also beyond the USA you are already now a profile of very important significance/promise!
All blacks in the world believing you theirs now ascent.
For instance, as you know: your implications for black Africa are enormous!
Never had the USA a better ‘instrument’ seeking black Africa a coming world!
It’s historic, Mr. Obama, and that’s why you are faty!
So again, Mr. Obama: be carefull!
It may come from nearby!
Something only Machiavelli not surprised, but apart from him ‘a tragic sudden’ …..
If Jesus Christ wasn’t our Mediator and High Priest after the Wise of Melchizedek, The Lord’s Supper would have been an absolute of fate unmediated death involved.
Then no proposition calling The Lord to consider could alter death’s time.
However, The New Covenant, given our Lord Jesus Christ that is, offers better than that.
You can sit at His Table, Mr. Barak Obama, eating His Body, drinking His Blood, and doing that ‘in remembrance of Him’!
And ‘in remembrance’ implies you are alive!
Partaking of The Lord’s True Being.
And what is that you wish, Mr. Barak Obama?
The High Priest The Effort, His Mediating allowing you to live?
As yet no fate-‘musts’ seeking you death?
As Tzipporah (Zipporah) circumcised her son because God was going to kill Moses?
Given The Lord Jesus Christ and His New Covenant, the circumcision of the heart is due!
Is your Michelle in that respect your wife and love, Mr. Obama (sure, why not learn from also ‘Zipporah’?)?
Let’s see, Mr. Barak Obama, what happened at that ‘Last Supper’ (and be impressed by also the Unity-consequences and what they had to mean!):
Yochanan (John) 13:21-28:
+++ After saying this, Yeshua (Jesus), in deep anguish of spirit (me: fulfilling, none could be left out), declared, “Yes, indeed! (me: Whát a yes in deed!) I tell you that one of you will betray Me.” The talmidim (disciples) stared at one another, totally mystified - whom could He mean? One of His talmidim (disciples), the one Yeshua (Jesus) particularly loved, was reclining close beside Him (me: it had been a benign day, it was still a great meal, and all that with his Messiah!). So Shim’on Kefa (Simon Peter; Kefa = Cefas = rock) motioned to him and said, “Ask which one He is talking about (me: here ‘the Cefas-sic matter’ questions ‘a true’!; ‘The rock’ is bought - our Lord Jesus Christ Buyer and Payer! - to mean The Light, It has to bear The Weight of ‘Christ is’!, The Church being The Body of Christ; for ‘the Cefas-sic matter’: see my recent articles on ‘Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights and Emily Brontë’). Leaning against Yeshua’s (Jesus’) Chest, he asked Yeshua (Jesus), “Lord, who is it?” Yeshua (Jesus) answered, “It’s the one to whom I give this piece of matzah (unleavened bread) after I dip it in the dish (me: same dish, true find).” So He dipped the piece of matzah (unleavened bread) and gave it to Y’hudah Ben-Shim’on from K’riot (Jude Iscariot). As soon as Y’hudah (Jude) took the piece of matzah , the Adversary (evil doer) went into him (me: Christ having dipped the bread in the dish, Jude be-selving it, Jude still his own intention won, a lack in wholesome Unity true, the evil doer by an absolute consequence of his nature, could not but go into Jude, thus the beyond-recovery-absolute-evil of the evil doer manifest and proven!). “What you are doing, do quickly!” Yeshua (Jesus) said to him (me: invaded now by the evil doer, Jude no self his, was lost!). But no one at the table understood why He had said this to him (me: because Christ would not escape from The Cross, Jude would not escape from his lies, and not escaping: the others at the table as well would behave as prophesied, so, not knowing, theirs doing would be ‘friendly assessed’ …..; compare another moment of ‘not knowing what they were doing’, and what assessment there followed, apart from The Lord’s Supper no dish yet The Christ!). +++
So, Mr. Obama: Pray, read The Bible, and attend The Lord’s Supper as I advised you to do (because ‘escape’: there is about it at the table you know …..!)!
Because our Lord Jesus Christ willing: fate is what He shall be it!
And once His death (and of course Resurrection and being now here and wherever He now is) was all that was needed.
So fate and its must: leave it to Christ ‘when and for sure’ (so indeed having asked - having communed - Him)!
That is to say: keep it in mind, as you are free!
I believe you are a crown prince, Mr. Barak Obama, too early heading for his throne.
I believe next time it is your time.
But if you can’t be stopped then too soon/early shall be.
Hopefully thereafter yes then your time (whatever that then in consequences must be)!
A host of circumstances, Mr. Obama, almost need failure to find a way (mud and getting rid of it oft is muddy business).
And it is for many many many people in the world, Mr. Obama, not good if they believe you to be a failure.
You, Mr. Obama, link centuries of history to a today’s now to get even with it!
If that doesn’t work out well, it may trigger a host of ‘conceiving’ problems!
Grand scaled globally a vast!
That possibly also implies there shouldn’t be too much of a merge with problems that sort of falsify your true meaning.
That ‘true meaning’ almost beyond your cope being involved!
And that (all) could lead up to a breach within your Presidential Administration.
Implying synthetic independencies that cripple, and implying false silence (because blacks and whites, ‘they were the days’ …..) not opening up about that, a USA society intrinsically - coming close to structurally - harmed, therefore harmed for quite some time to come!
Mr. Barak Obama,
You must prove a success!
That is your job really!
(And be sure: strategic enemies know the lion is bound!)
So if still you want it now, Mr. Obama, we’ll settle for that.
But you, you attend The Lord’s Supper, saying: if there has to be my ‘Jude’ (so ‘Iscariot’), Lord, would You assign him?
And you pray.
And you read The Bible, The Holy Scriptures, The Living Word of God.
And you keep your dazzling Michelle love be true.
And you’ll, whatever, remain the best daddy you are for your very daughters!
And let me end now with the words of ‘the duke’ (D-Day, Normandy):
‘That is all’, Mr. Obama.
Carel Heldring
And I suppose you have have the inside track to all the workings going on in this convention? Congratulations!!!
It's Sasha not Natasha smart ones
