And This Too! Shall Pass !

And this too shall pass. This presidential election of electing the first Black man or man of color to the most important job in America. This is an historical event. This event is one I've personally prayed for. It was fortold that those that were consisered last will some day be first. I say, this too shall pass because there is more much more historical events to come in this world. This event is the greatest ever in my eyesite. Yet, there are visions of more correctiveness and dedications of peace to this entire world to come. I, pray for a peacefull day when OUR PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA take his office. TO ALL PEOPLE GIVE YOUR PRAYERS, RESPECT, LOVE AND PEACE TO THIS DAY OF CELEBRATION OF PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA TO TAKE THE PRESIDENTIAL OTH OF OFFICE AS THE 44 PRESIDENT OF THIS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THINK ON THE HOPE THAT IS BROUGHT FORTH ON Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Our New President

I am proud to say I have seen our Country go through many changes.Finally uniting all the People under our New President. In my city Blackes and Whites were smileing and talking together that now we all have to get along, thats a large statment from my neck of the wood.I just want to tell him and his wife to take all precations to stay safe, it seems in our past history we get good people trying to do good thing and they get killed for their trouble.It don't matter what coloor you are there are always some who want to ruin it.Stay safe and I am glad you won this election. Thank you the People of America.

Obama's Ethnicity

Molatto/bi-racial. It is sad we all think our answers and thoughts are pure and true. President Elect Obama is an American of African decent as are all of us who are considered African American. The percentage of blood running through our veins has never earned us more than a few house priviliges in our previous years. We are still African Americans. Take this time to rejoyce that someone of a minority decent has broken the barrier that has enslaved our minds overt he past few hundred years, allowing us to believe that it could not be done. I am proud to see an American of African Decent rise above the prejudices and steriotypes of the society that we live in today and achieve one of the highest positions that this land allows. It is wonderful to remember that it was not just African American's that allowed this to happen. There are those from all walks of life and of all cultures and backgrounds that made this happen. This has made me proud again to be an American where opportunity lurks in the background for all of us.

We have not achieved the goal that Martin Luther King planted in our minds during the civil rights movement. However, this is one giant step in the right direction. This election has motivated three generations in my family. There is hope for minorities of all kinds. I am grateful that President Elect Obama did not see himself as anything else but an American of African Decent. That is who he is.

Thanks President Elect Obama for restoring the belief, that in America all dreams are possible. May God bless you with a continuence of wisdom and humbleness. May he keep you and your family in a safe and blessed state through out your tenure as our President.

EXCLUSIVE: Did Next Commander-in-Chief Falsify Selective Service Registration? Never Actually Register? Obama's Draft Registration Raises Serious Questions

Did President-elect Barack Hussein Obama commit a federal crime in September of this year? Or did he never actually register and, instead, did friends of his in the Chicago federal records center, which maintains the official copy of his alleged Selective Service registration commit the crime for him?

It's either one or the other, as indicated by the release of Barack Obama's official Selective Service registration for the draft. A friend of mine, who is a retired federal agent, spent almost a year trying to obtain this document through a Freedom of Information Act request, and, after much stonewalling, finally received it and released it to me.

But the release of Obama's draft registration and an accompanying document, posted below, raises more questions than it answers. And it shows many signs of fraud, not to mention putting the lie to Obama's claim that he registered for the draft in June 1979, before it was required by law.

The official campaign for President may be over. But Barack Obama's Selective Service registration card and accompanying documents show that questions about him are not only NOT over, but if the signature on the document is in fact his, our next Commander-in-Chief may have committed a federal crime in 2008, well within the statute of limitations on the matter. If it is not his, then it's proof positive that our next Commander-in-Chief never registered with the Selective Service as required by law. By law, he was required to register and was legally able to do so until the age of 26.

But the Selective Service System registration ("SSS Form 1") and accompanying computer print-out ("SSS Print-out), below, released by the Selective Service show the following oddities and irregularities, all of which indicate the document was created in 2008 and backdated: click on link to see for yourselveshttp://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2008/11/exclusive_did_n.html
