Hello everyone :) so first sorry for my english :blush-anim-cl:

 

Here is my point of view (I am a little bit negative so...)

 

I must say that I don't believe in politics anymore, I'm from France and most of the people I saw/see here that move(d) mentalities and attitudes (and in other countries) are only few people and few of them are artists... Most of politics does not even know what the people live in their lifes, they work on theories, speak about money and security but most of them don't even know the value of things, of life (how wants to let their children go to make a war, true parents ???) and they talk about economics and they don't even know the price of a piece of bread... By the way they are not all like that, some are really bright and nice people but those people who are real and have great ideas are stopped by those one who wants to keep their "power" and "rights"... Who wants to "fight" for the color of his/her skin, for his/her religion, for his/her sexuality, (are we so much "watcher" to judge or to put in front of others how we used to live in our intimities I mean what the "eek" ???) those people must be above that... But I know now we can not really escape tensions about certain subjects a lot of "communities" have not all the same rights (in differents countries: women, children, old people, gay people, and there is still too much racism of differents forms... )... Another problem come from people who are not being able to respect the choices of lifes of others, and the thing I don't like is that politics used those things to make their promotions and arouse the anger of intolerant people to created tensions again, and have more votes... It kind of manipulate the minds and it's really weird... I mean if you guide a country you can not have those kinds of attitude, are we really in 2008 ??? Because in this case you are not a leader of bright ideas, of a country, you are speaking on your own to touch a group of population with whom you have congeniality or because you take and find a benefit of it for your own... but not for everyone, and if you have a country to guide you must speak to everyone, and find solution to unit people and not to divide them, but most of the politics speak for themselves and for their own ambitions... It's difficult to explain, but all that sound too false for me... See how economy is now... who help the bankruptcy??? people, politics ??? It sounds like we are fools of fools and it's always the same people that claim victories and do not recognize their faults, and always the same that are victimes and suffer. Now they are telling their speech and lies to make us sleep more, the worst of it is that some really believe in their own lies and they don't even see it, everybody take the pill and accept. And Some who really want to change things are bound by others that do not want to move :(

But it's I guess in the way of how we educated our children, maybe it's not too late.

S'okay. People with a sense of humor were more-so my target audience.

 

But thanks for the free lecture.:thumb_yello: Normally, I'd have to go to a Catholic school and have nuns hit me with a ruler to get that kind of speech about ethics.

I got it, Sarie. It was funny. I didn't even think it was racist at all...even with the afro part. His name does sound like broccoli.

 

 

 

 

And how can't you get the rhyme? Broccoli, Barackoli. They sound alike except one has an extra syllable. If you didn't get the joke then just let it go.

Obamatrons sing 'Obamalujah' over Barackisms

By WILLIAM J. KOLE, Associated Press Writer

First there was "Obamamania," punctured in places by naysayers crying "Nobama!"

Now, as President-elect Barack Obama prepares for the White House, his message of change, resounding both at home and abroad, seems to have unleashed a barrage of Barackisms. Or maybe they should be called Obamanyms.

Here's a glossary, culled from Web sites, news reports and the blogosphere:

___

OBAMAPHORIA: The postelection rapture that swept over Obama's supporters worldwide.

OBAMANATION: A twist on "abomination," expressed by evangelicals and other conservatives who oppose Obama's stance on abortion, gay marriage and other social issues.

OBAMARAMA: The celebrations around the Jan. 20, 2009, inauguration.

OBAMANOS: A play on "Vamonos," or "Let's go," among Obama fans in Mexico.

OBAMATOPIA: The political paradise that Obama's staunchest supporters hope he'll usher in.

OBAMALUJAH: Exultation shouted by his fans.

OBAMATRONS: The policy wonks who will occupy the West Wing of his White House.

OBAMASCOPE: Media scrutiny of the new leader. (Example: "One hundred days after Barack Obama took office, newspaper editors put the president's economic plan under the Obamascope.")

OBAMANATOR: Hollywood-inspired nickname for the new president — even if he's got what California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger contends are "skinny legs" and "scrawny little arms."

OBAMALICIOUS: Complimentary term used by those who like Obama's looks.

OBAMALOHA: Goodbye, Obama-style, with a nod to Hawaii, his birthplace.

OH-BAMA: Joyful exclamation, via headlines in the Kennebec, Maine, Journal, The Register-Guard in Eugene, Ore., and The Namibian, from the southern African country of Namibia.

BAMELOT: Description of his presidency, from a New York Post headline that played on the youth and freshness of John F. Kennedy's administration that came to be known as "Camelot."

OBAMERIKA: Headline from the Croatian newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija.

BARACKSTAR: Description from those who believe Obama is "the Mick Jagger of politics" (from Slate.com).
