It is hard to say how well Barack Obama will do as the president of America. Right now, there is no doubt that the country is facing problems, such as the economy and the war still going on in Iraq. He will officially take over as the president on the 20th January 2008 (George Bush is still running the country for a couple more months), and between now and then, most of his time will be spent educating himself on the issues America faces and putting together his presidential team.

Many say that the main reason Obama was the 2008 election was not so much because of his campaign skills, but because many American’s felt that Sarah Palin was not ready to be vice president if the republican party were to win. It is still not so clear why she was chosen as running mate to the president. In any case, she will probably just go back to being mayor of Alaska. When the next election comes in 2012, it’s possible that she will run again.

Obama’s main point when running for president was that he would reduce taxes for the middle class, and raise taxes for people that make over $250,000 per year. He also plans on ending the war in Iraq, and giving better health benefits to people that can’t afford them. Before he does all this, though, he will need to regularly talk to George Bush so that he is up to date with everything America is facing.

The main thing most American’s are hoping for now is that the economy will return to its usual self. Although gas prices have plummeted to below $2/gallon (much to everyone’s joy), the economy is obviously not doing well now, and many companies are laying off jobs. We can only hope that things will get better in the next few years.

Watching Barack Obama’s victory speach, it is clear that he definitely knows how to get a crowd excited. But how well is he going to do as president of the united states? It is still not easy to say. Officially, Barack Obama isn’t running the country yet, with George Bush still having to serve until January 20 of 2009. From now until next year, Obama will be getting his team together, and staying on top of any issues. As Americans we can only hope that the next four years will be better than the last. The economy is still in trouble and things definitely need to get better soon.

The definitive advice as to whether a presidential candidate would win the election and eventually become the President of the United States could be verified, among other things, by computing whether there is any propensity for long-term relationships with his (for the time being) nominated vice president.

The Democratic Party has chosen Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois as its nominee to compete against the Republican Party’s John McCain from Arizona in the forth-coming United States presidential election of 2008.

The 2008 presidential election is the first time in the U.S. history that two sitting senators will run against each other for the presidency of the United States, and more importantly, it is also the first time an African American has become a presidential nominee for a major party, as well as the first time both candidates of the two major parties - Democratic and Republican, were born outside the continental U. S. A. - Hawaii for Obama and the Panama Canal Zone for McCain.

On November 4, 2008, the Election Day in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, registered voters will cast votes for presidential candidates nominated and listed.

On December 15, 2008, members of the U. S. Electoral College will meet in their respective state capital to officially cast their votes for President and Vice President.

On January 6, 2009, Electoral votes will officially be tallied before both chambers of Congress - the Senate and the House of Representatives.

On January 20, 2009, the constitutionally set Inauguration Day, Barack H. Obama, Jr. will become the 44th President of the United States and Joseph R. Biden, Jr. the 47th Vice President of the United States.

Barack H. Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007.

On August 27, 2008 he became the nominee of the Democratic Party for the 2008 presidential election. Shortly after midnight on August 23, 2008, Barack Obama’s campaign announced that Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware has become the Vice Presidential candidate.

Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is the senior United States Senator from Delaware.

On Wednesday, February 6, 2008, the day after the Super Tuesday - the single biggest U. S. presidential primary day, will become President-elect at the end of 2008.

Subsequent to the announcement of the partnership with Senator Joe Biden, Best-Relationship-Advice has carefully computed definitively the Relationship between the presidential candidate, Obama, and the vice Presidential candidate, Biden. The result is stunning — there is absolute propensity for a long-term partnership. In the current situation that they are teamed up for the 2008 presidential campaign, this could only lead to one single conclusion, that Barack Obama and Joe Biden will become President and Vice President of the United States in the 2008 Election.

Parallel study has been made on John McCain and Sarah Palin. The result is affirmative, that the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Republican Party do not reflect any long-term relationship in the coming years.

The result is therefore conclusive, which duly coincides with the same piece of advice given before based upon a totally different methodology by Best Relationship Advice.

Barack Obama was born on the 4th of August in 1961, an African American citizen from Hawaii. His father, the elder Barack, came from Kenya and was taught by his own father to herd goats and do work on the farm. Barack’s mother, Ann Dunham, was a true blue American who grew up in Kansas. During the Depression, while his father was signed up for the World War II, Ann took a job at the bomber assembly line. She afterwards studied on the G. I. Bill. Then her family bought a house through the Federal Housing Program and later on moved on to Hawaii.

At the University of Hawaii, Barack Sr. and Ann met. Ann was a student there while his father had a won a scholarship to the United States. Unfortunately for the couple, Barack Sr. had to leave to go back to Kenya. This resulted in the young Barack being raised by his single mother in Hawaii and in Indonesia for several years. Afterwards they moved to New York and there he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.

Barack then moved on to Chicago in 1985 in order to pursue his civic plans. After moving, Barack worked as a Christian group community organizer with people who seek to uplift the conditions of the people residing in a town beleaguered by crime and high unemployment. Barack believed in the cause of these groups but after some time he wanted to see changes effect a wider populace. With his earlier background and studiious nature, he knew that those changes must become definite and binding to all. From there, he aspired to change the nation’s laws and politics.

After being accepted into a student career at Harvard, he earned his law degree. Even from there, Barack has proven his abilities and became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Following his studies at Harvard, he went back to Chicago and practiced his profession as a civil rights lawyer and taught constitutional law. His advocacy and values led him to run for the Illinois State Senate where he won and served for eight years. It should be thouroughly evident in this Barack Obama biography study that the man did indeed earn his ground.

In the State Senate, Barack learned the value of unity and working together. Although it has been a challenge for him to work with both the Democrats and the Republicans, he learned to set aside politics to be able to create programs and projects that will immensely help the working families. A good example of this was the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which provided more than $100 million worth of tax, cuts to families across the state in just three years. Barack has always had a keen interest in childhood education, its development and expansion in the state. He also tried to initiate changes in the penal system through working with law enforcement officials and coming up with the resolution of standardizing the video recording of the federal investigations and interrogations in all capital cases. This was due mostly to the large number of instances when death row inmates were found innocent.

Come 2004, Barack Obama Jr. became the third African American, since the Reconstruction, to serve in the United States Senate. This was a truly revolutionary bid, this is precisely the purpose we see a Barack Obama biography today. Barack’s first act to be passed was the one he authored with Republican Senator Tom Coburn—a measure that was built on the aim of renewing trust to the government by allowing citizens to go online and learn how and where their taxes are spent. Decidedly, Barack was the leader of political ethic reform movements, and he fought to remove corruption in Congress. He also became a champion of the veterans in the Senate. He moved to help the Illinois veterans obtain their disability pay while seeing to it that measures that will take care of the Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan were completed upon their return.

All in all, Barack has been truly the champion of the people of America. The man has gone from a poor homelife to the Federal Circuit. In spite of all these accomplishments, Barack remains humble and not self-serving. With his wife, Michelle, and two daughters, Malia and Sasha, he aims to be the initiator of change in America and bring back its vision of being the country for the people.

I have been keeping an eye on the presidential race, and I was really charged up to see about the novel vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. She is so smooth-spoken and articulate, but I am anxious that the media is working to eat her alive.

I saw an interview with her the other day and the interviewer appeared to bear a preconception as to who he believed should be president. All his inquiries appeared to assail her instead of make her feel more relaxed. But she just fired back, and spoke about everything that was significant to her in a manner that made her appear distinguished.

There’s much talk of who should win the election. I believe it will be close, and the most honorable candidate had better win in spite of race or sex. I am indeed energized that there’s a Black person man running, and a woman, Sarah Palin.

But I am more aroused that these two persons have such experience and goodwill that they will both constitute distinguished leaders. And the reality that America has reached the point that they accept someone founded upon their deservingness and not anything else only demonstrates to me that we have come a long way and America is prepared to be open for change.

As Ambassador to Moldova since July 2006 for the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe’s (OSCE), Louis O’Neill has maintained a firm commitment to free and fair elections there. Democratic processes, the rule of law and good elections are an essential precondition for creating and maintaining the human security and freedom that the OSCE aims to bring to all its participating States.

In December 2006, Ambassador Louis ONeill led the OSCE Mission to Moldova in observing two rounds of elections for the Bashkan (Governor) of Gagauzia, an autonomous province in the country’s south. The elections there were generally held in a calm and orderly manner. “We commend the Gagauz electoral authorities for a good administration of the second round of elections,” said Ambassador O’Neill.

According to the Head of Mission, during the second round on December 17, 2006 campaign conditions improved considerably in comparison with the first round held two weeks earlier on December 3. “Both candidates enjoyed equal access to the media and had the opportunity to take part in televised debates on Teleradio Gagauzia,” Ambassador Louis O’Neill said.

OSCE Mission Members visited all 64 polling stations on Election Day and followed the counting procedures in six locations after the polls closed.

The people of Moldova continue to suffer due to the effects of separatism by the breakaway region of Transnistria. This was apparent during the last round of local and municipal elections in Moldova, where access to polling centers in left-bank (Transnistrian-controlled) villages, particularly around Corjova, was severely impeded by the Transnistrian authorities. Ambassador Louis O’Neill and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that all Moldovans eligible to vote were able to access a polling center in the last election.

Despite these efforts and a deep commitment to fair elections on the part of the OSCE, Transnistrian militiamen forced their way into the Moldovan polling place in Corhova on the day of the election, blocking voters and shutting it down.

“Closing down a polling station by force is unacceptable,” said Ambassador Louis O’Neill. “The OSCE Mission made intensive efforts over the last days to mediate a solution which would have prevented this escalation. We deeply regret that it was not possible to find such a solution and that Corjova voters were again deprived of their right to elect a mayor and a local council.” O’Neill was referencing an incident two weeks earlier in which Transnistrian militiamen so effectively blocked access to polls that only 99 out of 1350 voters were able to vote, rendering the election invalid.

Ambassador Louis O’Neill expressed his concern for maintaining the peace along with ensuring that fair elections take place in Moldova. “Mission members counted approximately 70 Transnistrian militiamen and about 40 Moldovan police in and around the polling station on Sunday,” said Ambassador O’Neill. “The Moldova authorities showed restraint by not bringing in additional forces to attempt to repel the Transnistrian seizure of the voting place. Such a move could have driven events beyond control. Overall it was clear that neither side wished to further escalate this very difficult situation.”

Ambassador O’Neill’s ability to work with both sides and deep understanding of their political and cultural differences are an expression of his genuine commitment to protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova with a special status for the Transnistrian region.

Barack Obama is one of the most charismatic politicians today. Well known as an eloquent speaker, Barack has some profound things to say. Note these statements:

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me � how do I make my way in the world, and how do I become successful and how do I get the things that I want.

Barak Hussein Obama II -

We must never force Israel to the negotiating table, but neither should we ever block negotiations when Israel’s leaders decide that they may serve Israeli interests. As President, I will do whatever I can to help Israel succeed in these negotiations. And success will require the full enforcement of Security Council Resolution 1701 in Lebanon, and a stop to Syria’s support for terror. It is time for this reckless behavior to come to an end.

Barak Hussein Obama II -

As late as December, John McCain told a newspaper in New Hampshire that he’d love to offer a solution to the housing crisis, but he just didn’t have one. It took him three different tries to figure it out, and in the end, his plan does nothing to help 1.5 million homeowners who are facing foreclosure, even as he supported spending billions to bail out Wall Street.

Barak Hussein Obama II -

Most Israelis and Palestinians want peace, and we must strengthen their hand. The United States must be a strong and consistent partner in this process � not to force concessions, but to help committed partners avoid stalemate and the kind of vacuums that are filled by violence. That’s what I commit to do as President of the United States.

Barak Hussein Obama II

America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

Barak Hussein Obama II -

It is rare in this country of ours that a person exists who has touched the lives of nearly every single American without many of us even realizing it. And yet, because of Ted Kennedy, millions of children can see a doctor when they get sick. Mothers and fathers can leave work to spend time with their newborns. Working Americans are paid higher wages, and compensated for overtime, and can keep their health insurance when they change jobs. They are protected from discrimination in the workplace, and those who are born with disabilities can still get an education, and health care, and fair treatment on the job. Our schools are stronger and our colleges are filled with more Americans who can afford it. And I have a feeling that Ted Kennedy is not done just yet.

Barak Hussein Obama II

And I’ll be a President who finally keeps the promise that’s made year after year after year by providing domestic automakers with the funding they need to retool their factories and make fuel-efficient and alternative fuel cars. My own state of Illinois is home to the oldest, continually operating Ford assembly plant outside Michigan, so I understand why it’s so important to bring our auto industry into the 21st Century. And that’s what we’ll do when I’m President.

Barak Hussein Obama II -

I believe that our party has made the most difference in people’s lives and the life of this country when we have led not by polls but by principle; not by calculation but by conviction; when we’ve been able to summon the entire nation to a common purpose - a higher purpose. That’s how Roosevelt led us through war and lifted us from depression. It’s how Kennedy called on a new generation to ask what they could do for America. And I am running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States because that’s the kind of leadership America needs right now.

Politican Anwar In Malaysia recently highlighted that he would be challenging the government in malaysia and would try to organize a new government that possibly would provide a better life for the people.

Guess what, after saying that, he was charged with sodomy! Yes, this is the Politican Anwar In Malaysia that was also charged with sodomy a couple of years ago, the result is all the charges are being withdrawn and he was let out a couple of years later.

Now, online there is a debate going on malaysia anwar about his innocence. Check it out, personally I think politics should be above board and government should not abuse their judicial powers to “eliminate” their opposition.

One reason why I think this is a set up, is the warnings issued by the Malaysian governments on the western media, asking them to be careful with what they are publishing. They even issued a warning to their Singapore media. I mean, if they are above board in their dealings, why worry about what other people are talking about?

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need.

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk. (more…)
