Obama Newspaper Covers: A Story In Pictures

Hope

Backdrop to this picture:

Harold Livingston, assistant manager of a gas station near his home, said today he was wondering why so many people were stopping at his house and taking pictures. One of the photographs ended up being posted at politico.com, a national political Web site....

Livingston says he’s the one who put up the Confederate flag and his wife, Brenda, is the Obama supporter.

Although some people regard the Confederate flag as a racist symbol, Livingston said that’s not the case. Those who think the flag is racist are probably racist themselves, he said.

“I think it’s (the flag is) about the South and it’s a pretty flag,” he said.

In the Livingstons’ back yard, a pirate flag flies atop another flagpole. The flags aren’t about politics, he said.

“I don’t vote,” he says. “It doesn’t matter what president we have."

The bigger problem, he said, is members of Congress who serve more than eight years, the maximum a president can hold office,

Brenda Livingston is a nurse practicing in Mooresville. A registered Republican, she has canvassed for Obama, a Democrat, and even met Michelle Obama, the wife of the Illinois senator.

Harold Livingston, who says he’s an atheist, said, “We don’t talk religion or politics.”

Unbelievable Obama Invesco Field Scene In 3D

Go here.

Incredible Scene.

In other news via the good folks at Barack O'Blogger: Funny how Karma works isn't it? The Conservative Group 'Focus on the Family' prayed for "rain of biblical proportions" to come down during Barack's speech tonight at Invesco Field.

But the skies here are clear, sunny, and blue.

Instead we have the strong possibility of another Gulf Coast hurricane during the Republican convention.

NBA Finals Game 6 In Pictures

No words this time, you know what I've been saying about Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant for years, so tonight just pictures.
Okay maybe a few comments:

Contrary to every talking head or half-way self pronounced that says otherwise Paul Pierce is as great as Kobe Bryant. There's nothing Kobe can do that Pierce can't do. You may like Kobe's style more but that's a style preference not based on substance. Sorry.

Robert Horry can retire because James Posey is the new you.

Paul Pierce has been the greatest player on the bad Celtics teams, the so-so Celtics teams and a great Celtics team. The man is almost unstoppable.

Kobe Bryant is NOT Michael Jordan.

Kobe Stans will never run out of excuses and ready made explanations everytime he comes up short. This time it was referees, Andrew Bynum and bad teammates. Funny how no one complained about his teammates when they got him to the #1 seed in the West and later got him to the NBA Finals in that vaunted, all-time most competitive Western Conference. Even though they were just outplayed, outclassed and outgunned collectively and individually (yes Paul Pierce outplayed Kobe Bryant) you just know there'll never be enough mulligans in the world that the stans won't use to write-off his failures.
