LMAO, that was in Vegas. His comedy routine was annoying me, I actually left early

Yesterday I went to a Black women for Obama house party, and his national director of Black folk for Obama was there. He looks like Malcolm X, but that's besides the point.

One of our county commissioners was there and he really laid into him, and I was so happy! He was saying we're a battleground state too, and we get like, one surrogate a week, the campaign won't help us organize any outreach efforts (we wanted to canvass beauty/barber shops, mom and pop grocery stores...and we planned a March for Change for the first day of early voting and the campaign wouldn't help us with anything; signs, media, getting the word out). Commissioner said had to do outreach through his campaign in his district, and we (grassroots) are spending our own money and doing what the campaign won't. Which is fine, but the commissioner said "We don't have any obligation to give you the data we collect and furthermore, we don't have to do it at all" Damn! Black mailing a black male

But anyway, after that long convo (and the commissioner mentioned they need to do more with ACORN than just say "We didn't do it" because here in Vegas the issue has become "Black people are trying to rig the election") I have an email this morning: the campaign is going to give us materials (window signs, sign up sheets) to canvass barbershops and beauty shops this week, they're sending Sanaa Lathan to our march Saturday and sending out press releases to the media, and I see today Barack's campaign is speaking out for ACORN

Now, I know we didn't do all of that just from chewing homeboy out yesterday, but it feels good to vent to someone and tell them what we need to be successful, and the next day, it's all taken care of

Happy Birfday!!!!!


MSNBC is clowning; "by our count, Hillary Clinton has campaign more for Barack Obama than John McCain has campaigned for himself"

He needs to stop taking the weekends off

CNN: Pies are non-partisan.
On the trail, Obama finds nothing's as easy as…pie

CHICAGO (CNN) - Fitness devotee Barack Obama has developed an obsession with of all things, pie.

The candidate known for his discriminate eating habits and daily workouts mentioned a recent pie stop at a southern Ohio restaurant during all four of his Saturday Philadelphia events.

"I was in Ohio, in a small town called Georgetown, we were on a bus tour, a bus tour for jobs in Ohio. And I was with the governor there, Governor Strickland. And we decided to stop at a diner because I was hungry and I decided I wanted some pie," Obama said in West Philly of his afternoon trip to Fireside Restaurant last Thursday. "I had coconut cream pie. The governor of Ohio, he had lemon meringue pie."

Obama started weaving the lengthy pie anecdote into his stump speech Thursday night in Ohio, telling audiences that the owner of Fireside, who served Obama and Strickland their pie slices, is a Republican disenchanted with the direction of the country.

"I said, 'How's business?' And he said, 'Not so good, because my customers can't afford to eat out anymore.' I said 'Who's been running the economy for the last eight years?' And he said 'I guess the Republicans have.'

"I said 'Let me ask you something: if you just kept hitting your head against the wall, and it started to hurt, would you think about stopping at some point?' And he said 'that makes sense.' I said 'You might want to vote Democratic this time, stop the pain, stop the hurt. We can't screw it up any worse than they did," Obama said to roars and cheers from the Philadelphia crowd.

Reached by phone on Sunday, William Seip - whose last name, he points out, is 'pies' spelled backwards - was amused that his pie was the talk of the campaign trail.

"I really don't tell anyone how I'm going to vote," Seip said who disagreed with the description by Obama and his wait staff that he is a "die-hard Republican." Seip, who is a lifelong Georgetown resident and has owned Fireside for nine years, said he has voted for Democrats in the past.

Of their conversation, Seip cut to the chase: "He asked me how the economy was and I said 'it sucks.'" Seip is looking for a president who will "put money back to the American people instead of sending it across the water - put it in the United States."

According to Seip, Obama was the first presidential candidate to visit Georgetown since the 1900s, and "everybody is still talking about it."

"I ain't into it right now" he said of the election. "I just don't get into listening to candidates right now, back and forth right now, all that fighting." He added that he had yet to pay much attention to John McCain, but since he met Obama in person and shook his hand, "I'm leaning that way. He was down to earth, he knows what's going on.

Coah Smith is for Obama!
