Barack Obama, the self-proclaimed "skinny kid with a funny name", has announced he has filed papers to form a Presidential Exploratory Committee.
In a video on his website titles "A Message From Barack", Senator Obama says that America "must change its politics" before it can address its problems.
The video can be found here.
Obama has always been publicly opposed to the war in Iraq, saying it's been a mistake since the beginning; perhaps he'll be the solution to Iraq's problems.

Recent Democratic News
Recent Democratic News:
Denver has been chosen to host the 2008 Democratic convention. I think them choosing Denver oven a "blue powerhouse" like New York is a good idea.
70% of Americans oppose the President's troop surge for Baghdad. As one Congresswoman pointed out, there have been numerous "troop surges", some with more than the 20,000 troops now slated to go, and they have not worked; so why will this one?
The Democrats, while somewhat divided on how to do it, have vowed to resist the surge of U.S. troops in Iraq. Hearings by the House Armed Services Committee & the Senate Foreign relations Committee have been taking place the last few days.
The House of Representatives has recently passed a bill providing government funding to stem-cell research, with a vote of 253-174. It will probably have a harder time passing the Senate, and the President, as stubborn as he is, will not sign it, simply because he refuses to do tests on embryos that are already slated to be destroyed, instead of developing cures for diseases and conditions which could save millions of lives. This is foolish; people who are currently alive should come first over embryos that are sitting in a cooler.
The Iraqi Health Ministry has put the number of Iraqi deaths in 2006 at 22, 950. That's a lot of Iraqis. If the death toll for the other years we've been in Iraq is half of that, it already blows the U.S. count out of the water.

Army Inadvertently Asks Ultimate Sacrificers For More Time
The U.S. Army inadvertently sent out letters to fallen and wounded soldiers in the War on Terror, asking them to reenlist.
A few days after Christmas, the Army sent letters to over 5,100 soldiers, who had recently left the service, to reenlist for another tour. Unfortunately, 75 of those were sent to soldiers who had been killed in action, and another 200 were sent to soldiers who had been wounded in combat. The Army apologized Friday for the accident, and said they would send personnel out to personally apologize to the soldiers and families of the fallen for the mistake.
This is a horrible mistake made by the best and most equip army in the world. Their failure to update their mailing lists is an inexcusable mistake; I can only imagine the sad feelings that are stirred up when the families opened these letters. The last thing the the government needs is the military sending out reenlistment letters to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
I would recommend that the U.S. Army change web hosts immediately, and try to find better software for their mass-mailing list. A $135K program should compliment that $40K hammer well.

Transfer Of Power
Happy New Year everybody!
The Democrat Congressmen (and women) who seized control of Congress after the November elections were sworn in today, marking the beginning of the 100th Congress. Leading them are two ground breakers.
Nancy Pelosi is the first woman ever to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, finding herself "two heartbeats" away from the Presidency, as the media continues to remind us. Rep. Pelosi is now the most powerful woman in U.S., overthrowing the former U.S.'s most powerful woman, Madeleine Albright. New Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is the first Mormon to lead the Senate. A Muslim & two Buddhists also expand the makeup of the next Congress.
The first day of Work in the House was pretty lax, with many praises of Pelosi, the newly elected representatives, the voters, and America as a whole. Things soon changed back to normal, when the first votes, dealing with rules and ethics changes, went along party lines. But I wonder how that could be? After all, didn't the Republicans want to continue the "bipartisanship" that they had under the 12 years of GOP rule?
What's left of the first 100 hours will show that the voters hopefully made a good choice last November.

Saddam's Execution Imminent...Maybe
Hopefully everybody had a Merry Christmas. Mine was merry and bright, but not white, sadly. It was rainy on Christmas Eve, but dry on Christmas Day, which is always nice.
As everyone knows by now, former President Gerald Ford, the only man never to be elected to either the Vice Presidency or Presidency, has died at the age of 93. He held out just long enough to claim the record of longest living former president from Ronald Reagan. If you are hoping to see a sweeping article about Ford's interesting presidency, you've come to the wrong place. I'll leave the news outlets to that sort of thing. I wasn't around yet when he was President, so I don't really have any firsthand knowledge of how he did his job.
Moving on to the world's biggest former annoyance, Saddam Hussein...
Saddam could be executed in a matter of hours, tomorrow, or by Sunday, depending on which Iraqi minister who wants his 15 minutes you want to believe. Supposedly, "key legal issues" have been hashed out, which has cleared the path to Saddam's hanging. One course to the news outlets has the Iraqi P.M. still talking to judges and other political figures, trying to figure out when this will take place.
Whenever that may be, it'll do to things. 1) it will shut up that bearded fool (who would look like Mel Gibson if he grew his beard out longer) and we won't have to hear about him anymore and, 2) his execution will more than likely piss off his "followers" (i.e. the al-Qaeda branch who uses his removal as a reason to finally kill their enemies) to the point that a massive surge of violence will ensue, causing many deaths. Of course, to counter the massive surge in violence, President Bush will want to add more troops, and go against everything that everybody is telling him...
...If you give a mouse a cookie.

The Generals Who Couldn't Get Through
The President is set to decide in the next few days whether or not it would be a good idea to increase the U.S. troop presence in Iraq. This, obviously is not a good idea, given the fact that Iraqi insurgents stepped up attacks last time there was a troop increase in Baghdad, and for once I have U.S. generals to back me up. What Bush has decided to do, however, is increase the size of the Army & Marines.
Bush seems to be standing alone on this one. However, being the determined fellow he is, he's sent newly-appointed Defense Secretary Robert Gates to Baghdad to get military leader's opinions on the subject. General John Abizaid, who commands all the U.S. soldiers in the middle East, does not agree with the idea of an increase in troops, as he told a Senate Committee last month. Interestingly enough, Gen. Abizaid, along with Gen. George Casey (commender of all U.S. troops in Iraq) are planning to resign in the coming months. While CentCom says that Abizaid's resignation has been a long time coming, I have to wonder whether or not it was "encouraged", especially after he came out and disagreed with an increase in boots on the ground. In the interest of fairness, he also disagreed with a decrease in troops.
Former General & Secretary of State Colin Powell also disagrees with the Presidents proposal to a troop increase. Powell says that the military is overextended and "about broken". However, being the ever-loyal soldier, Powell hasn't gone as far as saying something along the lines of "We've screwed up", "The President didn't think before he leaped", or "Oops!"; hopefully he will before too long, especially at the rate he's speaking out.
I really, really hope Bush doesn't go out on his own, forging ahead with out listening to the military officers who actually know what they're talking about. But Bush will be Bush.

Senate May Hang In The Balance
Senator Tim Johnson's (D-SD) possibly life-threatening illness, which required him to have brain surgery on Wednesday could put the Senate in Jeopardy. If by some horrible means Senator Johnson doesn't recover enough to carry on his elected duty in the Senate, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds, a Republican, is empowered with the gut-wrenching ability to pick a replacement, who will finish the remainder of his elected term.
Naturally, the most important thing is that Johnson lives, since this is potentially life-threatening, and hopefully he'll be alright and God-willing fully recover, even if he cannot continue his term.
If Johnson has to resign, Rounds will more than likely choose a Republican, which would knock the Senate back to a 50-50 split, this giving Cheney veto power. I urge the Governor that, if he is forced to pick a replacement, he respect the voters' opinions and pick a Democrat with similar views as Senator Johnson.
Will he do that? Most likely not, at the probable urging/threatening of the GOP. It would show his trust in th voters, and is naturally the best thing to do. It would be hard, but I hope the petty partisan bickering can be put aside for one moment, and the Republicans face the face that this is life, life isn't always fair, the voters weren't happy, and they need to try again in 2008.
But when the last time Republicans actually tried listening to the people?

One Year Old; Senator Angered Over Iraq; Rep. Pushing Impeachment Bill
Editor's note: This blog turned one year old on December 7th. A big thanks to everybody who's taken the time to come here.
So many things have happened since my last update (Rumsfeld resigns, Gates confirmed as new DefSec; Iraq Study Group reveals results which Bush doesn't like; North Korea says U.S. hiding nukes in South Korea; V.P.'s lesbian daughter pregnant, you know, the important stuff.) I've been somewhat busy and somewhat more lacking at drive to write. But I'm over my block, so here we go.
For the record, I think that Gates will make a good Defense Secretary. At least better than Rummy, anyway. There's a reason he was voted in 95-2 (the two against being two Republican Senators, faithful-follower Rick Santorum being one of them.)
Senator Angered
Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR, one of my Senators) took the floor of the Senate Thursday night, the eve of the last day of this sitting Congress, and made a sweeping speech denouncing the Iraq war & how President Bush carried it out. Smith, who until Thursday officially was a "good soldier" and supported the war, said that he wouldn't have voted for the war if he knew the intelligence was as faulty as is has been proven, and that whether the U.S. "cuts and runs or cuts and walks" just as long as the troops are brought home.
I'm proud of you, Senator, for looking at the situation objectively, arriving at your own opinion, and not allowing your party's official policy to drag you through the mud. Most of the American people agree with your speech, and have already reached "the end of [our] rope" with this pathetic, poor-excuse-for-a-policy policy, and no longer support Bush and his leadership.
God, please let the President actually read a newspaper or turn on the T.V., just once (not FOX) so he can see how many American people hate it. The American people, Senator Smith, and a well-known, very conservative, unnamed Senator who came to Smith's office after the speech and tole him that he "felt the same way", no longer support the war, the direction of this country, and especially this fool I get to see on T.V. everyday behind the Presidential podium.
Rep. Pushing Impeachment
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), the headline grabber who felt that putting on her Congressional pin or stopping to tell the guard who she was, and instead decided to take a swing at him, has taken a last stand (after losing her House seat) against the Bush administration by introducing a bill Friday to impeach the President... yes, impeach.
I'm really not keen on impeaching our national mistake of electing Bush, not only because I don't want the Democrats to fall to the level the Republicans were on back during Clinton's term, but also because she's only doing it to grab more headlines, and go down in flames.
Bush has not defended the Constitution as well as he swore he would, but McKinney's last-ditch effort is completely absurd. This bill, not to mention McKinney herself, is a waste of breath by the news anchors; the bill will not pass. Even incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has said she refuses to entertain the idea of impeaching the President.
She needs to go away from the public limelight, instead of overly embracing it (she's joined groups urging to look into government knowledge of 9/11 before it happened), just like President Bush should do in 2008.

Praying Imams Removed From Flight In Minneapolis
Six Imams were removed from a U.S. Airways flight Monday after a passenger became concerned over their "suspicious" activities. What was the "suspicious" activity, you ask?
......They were praying.
We have now entered a world where, if you happen to be one of the 1.2 Billion people who share a religion with 19 evil men, you will immediately be considered a terrorist and arrested. When did this happen, and better yet, why did we allow this to be so? Simple answer......President Bush's and the Republicans injection of fear into society.
Did ANYBODY even bother to gather information, such as, I don't know, ask them what they were doing? Or did the flight attendant, who received a note nonchalantly passed to her by a concerned, uninformed, close-minded passenger decide to run to the captain and get the plane landed? I'm willing to be it's the latter.
One recent contribution the current administration has made to the "see a Muslim and hide" effort was the commercial used right before the election, in which picture of UBL appeared, along with an audio recording of one of his hate-filled speeches, and the line "These are the stakes" appearing at the end (echoing Lyndon B. Johnson's "Daisy" commercial.) This commercial
was designed solely to inject fear into Americans, and remind them who was in power during 9/11, and that they should stick with them.
The Patriot Act, which many people consider unfair, and which has been used used to detain "enemy combatants" for unjust long periods of time, has also contributed to this problem. I'm sure the fact that every single Bush speech, one way or another since the War on Terror began, has mention the War on Terror.
And, while I hate to say it, it seems if anybody is going to hijack a plane and use it as a weapon, it would be a Muslim, given the history. However, the small amount of Muslims who are extremists don't even put a dent in those Muslims who are normal humans, and would do no such thing. However, this seems completely unapparent to the close-minded citizens who, as passengers on airplanes, decide that a Muslim wearing a T-shirt saying "We shall not be silenced" in Arabic is enough to get someone booted (these are the same people who believe that women who are breastfeeding their babies also deserved to get the boot.)
Sadly I must admit that the fear has even gotten to me. While flying in October of 2004, a handful of people decided to get up and use the lavatory after the 10,000-feet announcement (which is a BIG no-no.) A few of these people looked as if they either were from, or were descendants from, the Middle East. I'm sorry to say, in this world where everybody should be accepted, my heart skipped a beat. In fact, when the flight attendant made the announcement that everybody was to remain seated, these men were the first to retake their seats.
The world we live in does have it's dangers, this being apparent to the soldiers serving overseas more than anybody else. However, we need to get past our "Shoot first, ask questions later......but only if he's Arab" approach, and learn to ask questions, and learn that those in the aisle praying are thanking God for everything they have, and aren't trying to harm you, or anybody else. If a Christian, a Jew, of a Buddhist got into the aisle to pray, that person would probably be asked to return to his/her seat, but only if they were clogging up the aisle.
Muslims? Nope, they have to be detained. Thanks a bunch, Mr. President, you just turned the U.S. back to the 1950's. We'll probably need an Arab equivalent to MLK, Jr. to fix the equality problem, but unfortunately, he was detained due to the Patriot Act.

Guiliani Makes That Leap
Just about 48 hours after I my last post, in which I guessed Guiliani would hop onto the train heading towards the White House, he does.
Rudy Guiliani formed an exploratory committee yesterday to investigate whether or not it would be lucrative for him to make a run for the White House. According to a poll I saw on CNN this morning, Guiliani had a three-point lead on Sen. John McCain, who formed his own committee last Friday.
Now that both of the BIG names have came forward with their possible intentions of wanting to succeed President Bush, no doubt all eyes will be on the Democratic Party, to see if some of our BIG names will run.
Also, the U.S. Senate has decided who it's leaders will be.
