Barack Obama

Hello!

Well what a night, Barack Hussien Obama, has achieved something that six months ago people said was impossible. The audacity of hope is now changing to the dream of hope, the hope for something new, and now the hope that change will come.

I think Barack's Iowan nomination comes from not only young people like me in the US but a whole cross section of society wanting change. The US system is something that mystifies a lot of people, and endears many more, but hope has now entered into the equation. Hope has never before been used as an election tool, hope, it seems, is the dream policy, to hope is to think, to hope is to realise what a nation can do, and hope is the opposite of fear.

I think that the Lib Dems, are a party that embodies hope, one that looks to the future, and a party that cares about what the future holds for our children, and our children's children. Hope for me, in the UK in 2008, is something which our country needs to embrace. 2008 will be a good year the Lib Dems, and we shall see what will happen in the US!

Machinists President Chides Obama for Maytag Remarks International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 -- The president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) is urging Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to dry his crocodile tears over the loss of more than 1,600
jobs when Maytag moved from Galesburg, IL, to Reynosa, Mexico.

"He didn't lift a finger to help those people when they needed help
the most," said IAM President Tom Buffenbarger, whose union
represented the workers at Maytag. "Even now, he doesn't have a clue and thinks those jobs went overseas and not to Mexico."

In recent campaign speeches, Sen. Obama has repeatedly cited the
plight of Maytag workers in his bid to win sympathy and support from union members battered by factory closings and lost jobs.
