NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN!
Neon orange suit: $200 and up.
Shiny, bright, red lipstick: $20 and up.
Electrifying speech: priceless.
Hillary Clinton hit the "nail on the head" with her energetic and hopeful speech.
"No way, no how, no McCain."
Hillary's tactic was to turn her supporters into advocates of Barack by reiterating that McCain is not going to be any different from Bush. She jokingly says "It's fitting that the two men will be in the Twin Cities in Minnesota because these days, they're awfully hard to tell apart."
She told Americans to look at the current state the country is in due to the Bush administration. She conveyed that we need to vote for the Democratic party because that is who cares about women, the health system, and uplifting the middle class.
Hillary further displayed her loyalty to the Obama's by throwing out the comment that Michelle Obama is a great wife.
Whether you support Barack Obama or not, you can't deny that his wife and he are unshakable. Those two together are a force that can't be reckoned.
Like the Obama's, the Clinton's are solid as well (although Bill strayed away). Although Hillary is no longer in the race, hopefully there will be room for her to work in the White House with Barack and Biden somewhere in the future.
Even though Hillary did a good job, she still fell short by failing to promote Obama's vices more. Instead of noting why she ran for president, she should have given Barack Obama more praise.

HOW'S THAT FOR A BABY MAMA?!
Michelle Obama's speech yesterday evening was fantastic. She was confident and she spoke very well. One thing she did that was most profound is connect with her audience at home and in person. She conveyed to all of America that the Obama's are human just like the rest of us.
Michelle showed that she is a down to earth, a strong, and an eager Black woman who stands for something. Contrary to what others say about Michelle not having pride in America, she dispelled that nasty tactic that was created to try to knock the Obama's out of the election. She spoke of a DREAM. The dream to be better, to strive for more, and to make progress.
Don't we all dream (regardless of color)?
Throughout this entire election, Michelle never "shot" back any negative energy to address FOX's headline: STOP PICKING ON OBAMA'S BABY MAMA! (The definition of a baby mama is a woman who has a child out of wedlock and is not associated with the father of the kid. THIS WOMAN IS MARRIED WITH TWO CHILDREN-BY THE SAME MAN MAY I ADD) FOX defends that Michelle called Barack her "Baby Daddy," which gives them the right to consider her as such.
I say when did self humour open the door for others to discriminate?
Instead of attacking the network, Michelle continued to stand with her husband and children and fight for change(How many "real" baby mama's would have stayed composed?!). Allowing their two children to come onto the stage after Michelle gave her speech last evening was incredible. It shows that they are solid.
So if all baby mama's are beautiful, well-spoken, educated, and supportive, I say SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF THE BABY MAMA'S!

KNOWING WHEN TO SAY NO
I'm back!
I have been mourning the death of my uncle Bob. Although he will never be forgotten, I know that time will soothe the pain. His death proved to me that loved ones are the most important.
Which is why this weekend (although I was tired) I made the effort to hang out with my sister and niece and nephew at a BBQ where there were lots of young toddlers.
At the BBQ, the birthday boy was very persistent and he wanted everything to go his way (even if he had to use physical force). His guardians were trying to chastise him, however it did not work.
This brings me to the question of when is it okay to say no to your children?
Is it okay for a parent to spoil a child?
Personally, I feel like a child should be spoiled. Unfortunately, there can be a positive and negative result of a child being spoiled. On one hand, it may cause the kid to do well and behave properly knowing that there will be a "reward." On the other hand, the kid may turn into a person who NEVER likes no for an answer.
What do you think?
