Obama And Biden Heading To Pittsburgh

Well, it is one convention down, and one to go, as the first Black Presidential Nominee begins a "historical" journey toward the White House. Whether or not you support Barack Obama, it is definitely an exciting time to witness some of what Martin Luther King saw as a possible future for black citizens.
Perhaps this will ease race relations somewhat, though there will always be some white supremacists who will not accept a black man as their leader, but this history making journey is not for them anyway.
I am still not totally sure who I am leaning toward, though Vladimir Putin is still high on my list. He is a strong leader, with a true vision of where to lead a country, and we certainly could fix the Constitution, to allow him to run if he so desired. Anyway, that is just wishful thinking, as I am sure he is too busy "running" Russia, to even entertain the thought of running for President here;)

Anyway, back to the real news today. I was just reading this story at Yahoo News:
Their raucous convention in Denver over, Barack Obama and Joe Biden head to Pittsburgh today to start a Midwest bus tour through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.

The goal is to ride the momentum of a convention that culminated with an energetic speech before 84,000 people at Denver's Mile High Stadium.

The Democratic nominee promised to cut taxes for nearly all working-class families, end the war in Iraq and break America's dependence on Mideast oil within 10 years.

Obama says a McCain administration will be four more years of the current Bush White House, and that in November Americans must say "eight is enough."
He's promising to end what he calls eight years of broken politics and "failed policies of George W. Bush."

Republican John McCain sought to upstage his rival today by tapping little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Obama leaves the convention city of Denver as the first black man to be nominated for president by a major political party. The 47-year-old Illinois senator won over the party faithful — even some die-hard backers of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — but the broader electorate awaits.
