Obama Leads in the 7-Eleven Poll

Forget all of the other Presidential poll results, 7-Eleven's poll, based on the sale of Presidential candidate's coffee cups. Obama cups have out-sold McCain, 60% to 40%. According to 7-election.com, during the 2000 & 2004 elections, George W. Bush sold more cups than his opponents, Gore and Kerry. Hmmmm, 7-Eleven, I hope you're on to somethin'.

I support the cup campaign atleast 2 times a week. Everytime I walk into a 7-Eleven, I have to search deep to find an Obama cup. I think I have a taste for some hot chocolate....I know just where I would like to go.

McCain Halts Campaign-No Debate on Friday

Tiffany: Ok, so we are less than 45 days away from the Presidential election, in a recession and the GOP candidate wants to tip out now. Mr. McCain, now would be a good time for you to start trying to convince people, right now, at this time why you should run the country. I'm sure there are enough elected officials who can handle the horrible state of economic affairs while you continue to campaign. I need to see you on t.v, behind a podium on Friday. I've changed my Friday evening plans for this debate. Funny that we learn Barack is up in the polls by 9 and you want to move away from the campaign at this time. Now, since Barack would like to move forward w/ the debate, I guess he doesn't care about the country. I await your next approved by you commercial.

From AOL News:

NEW YORK (Sept. 24) - Republican John McCain said Wednesday he wants to delay Friday's debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama and temporarily put aside their partisan campaign to resolve the nation's financial crisis.

McCain's announcement came after the two candidates held private talks about joining forces to address the Wall Street meltdown. The Obama campaign said the Democrat initiated the talks, but McCain beat Obama to the punch with the first public statement calling for the two to rise above politics in a time of crisis.

Obama: A President That Represents Me

Up and coming hip hop artist, Rob Jay, inspires the Obama movement with his tribute song, "President Obama Represents Me". Set to the tune of Jay-Z's, "Dead Presidents" (see original sample info below); this song gets a fist pump and 2 fist bumps (Michelle Obama style) from me.

Obama Encourages Fathers to "Step Up"

CHICAGO (June 15) - Barack Obama celebrated Father's Day by calling on black fathers, who he said are "missing from too many lives and too many homes," to become active in raising their children.

"They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it," the Democratic presidential candidate said Sunday at a largely black church in his hometown.

It's Been A Long Time...The Obama's, Lakers, Prince, Michael & Madonna

Hey Party People! It's truly been a long time, I shouldn't have left ya! Well, I have no excuse other than to say, my computer has been giving me the blues and I've almost had to commit damage to get it up and running again....ala the dude on You Tube who destroyed his MAC because it was acting retarded.

Well, I think I'm back!!

A lot of action and newsworthy events have occured since my previous blog posts.

Congrats Senator

First, I have to make sure my blog is posted with congrats to Senator Obama for securing the Democratic Nomination. Since 1992, (the first election year I voted in), I've been secretly obsessed with politics, but this marathon Democratic debate just sent me over the top with knowledge and perspective. I'm living and breathing this political stuff; who knows what's gonna happen if I start to love it as much as I love music.

Congresswoman Tiffany, hmmmm.

Hey, don't laugh. I ran for Commissioner of School Spirit in 8th grade, didn't secure the position but I had total support of the 4th graders, they believed in me. They made posters with my name sprinkled in glitter using my campaign slogan, "If you want your school to have Soul, vote for Tiffany Nicole". They were sold on my promise to have dance and double dutch contests during the lunch break. I too was a bit nervy like Barack, in that I was new to the school and had the nerve to come out the wood and run for something...I lost to this girl named Murleda but learned Intro to Politics at age 12, and now I'm obsessed.

Shout out to those 4th graders who supported me.

Lakers

Congrats to the Purple & Gold for winning game 3 of the NBA Finals. Mmmkay, The Series, not the results people were expecting...guess we'll just have to stay tuned. I've been a Lakers fan since '84 (I have an email address to prove it) but I've certainly found a way to remove the emotion from the support I have for them. They're not gon' have me checkin' into emergency and re-arranging weave tracks...uhh uunnn, no way. I have the hardest time tryna get a hair appointment as is.

Prince

His purple badness turned 50 on June 7th. Lots of fly people are turning 50 this year. Madonna (Aug 16) and the King of Pop (Aug 29) will also celebrate their 50th this year. Happy Bday to you all. Truly special people who changed the landscape of musical expression. How can I be down?
