A friend introduced me to this video which is a remix of Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” and it’s called “Obama Obama.” I personally love this version way better and anxiously sit in traffic waiting for it to come on the radio, in vain. I really need to download the full mp3 version so I can blare it at Denny’s on senior citizen discount day. You know, because they all love Obama and such.
So here is what I want everybody to do:
1.) Download the full mp3

2.) Burn it to several CD’s

3.) Send it to your local radio stations and then request it

4.) Next time you’re out give it to the DJ to play it at the club

5.) Do not hesitate to blare it out your windows so that everyone knows you know how to Barack OUT!

I posted a review of some of Wet n Wild’s products that can outshine even the pricier brands. Read more if you want to find out some penny saving beauty secrets! You know, with the price of gas…..

Mega Plump Lip Gloss- This lip gloss can compare to Lip Venom and Lip Injection but instead of a tiny tube you get a full sized lip gloss tube in a sexy shaped package for $10 less. It has a wonderful cinnamon flavor and comes in a beautiful golden coral pink color (589A Malibu-Peach) for the summer!

Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette- Never have I purchased an eyeshadow from a drug store that came with such rich pigment. The shadows on these palettes compare to MAC and Urban Decay when it comes to pigment and color pay off! The whole set is about $4 and with 6 shades, it is well worth it. Best for the summer is the set of golden browns and beiges called Sand Castle.

Eyelash Curler- This little gadget does amazing wonders to lashes! It was featured in O (Oprah’s) Magazine and was in the spotlight for a reason. Its sleek engineering makes it softer on the lashes, oposed to the scary metal contraptions, yet has the power to curl any lash! And for the price, it’s a wondrous steal.

Silk Finish Blush- This is definitely a good find! The most reviewed product that Wet n Wild has to offer. A favorite is this blush in All Over Shimmer which acts as a highlighter. If you’re looking for that red carpet glow then this is your go-to blush. I’d say this compares to the type of highlight that Benefit’s High Beam and Perfect 10 have to offer.

So, I received an e-mail today from moveon.org and wanted to share the information with you! It’s about the Iraq war and how even the Iraqi Prime Minister is taking a stand against Bush for the first time and asking for a shorter time line for the withdrawal of the troops, something most media outlets have seemed to overlook. I posted the whole e-mail after the jump so comment and tell me what you think. Oh, and if you want to sign up for the same type of emails just click here.

Dear MoveOn member,

Three big things happened on Iraq this week. They could mean the beginning of the end of the war.

But since the media have mostly ignored them, I wanted to make sure you saw what’s going on.

Here’s the scoop:

Iraqis want U.S. Troops out. No one was expecting Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to speak up in favor of withdrawal—after all, he’s close with the Bush administration. But with elections in Iraq coming up, and a great majority of Iraqis opposed to a prolonged U.S. occupation, Maliki can’t afford to toe the Bush line. So he’s surprised everyone by standing up this week for a timetable for troop withdrawals and a date certain to end the war. The LA Times headline reads, “Iraqi prime minister advocates withdrawal timeline.”¹

As a result, the “endless war agreement” Bush has been pushing fell through. Since January, hundreds of thousands of us pushed Congress to stand up to President Bush’s proposed treaty with Iraq, which would have tied the next President’s hands and made it much harder to get out. This week, the Washington Post reported that that agreement has fallen through—Iraqi leaders are putting their feet down and demanding a much shorter agreement.²

And now even the Pentagon is considering faster timelines. According to reporter Michael Hirsh at Newsweek, “a forthcoming Pentagon-sponsored report” will recommend a big drawdown of troops—suggesting “that U.S. forces be reduced to as few as 50,000 by the spring of 2009, down from about 150,000 now.”³

In other words, it’s now clear: Most Americans are for a timeline, and so are most Iraqis. And even experts in the Pentagon agree.

For his part, Barack Obama is using these developments to hammer home the point that John McCain and President Bush are now isolated in their resistance to any kind of timeline for withdrawal. He wrote an Op-Ed in the New York Times yesterday that reaffirmed his commitment to a timeline that would have all combat troops out of Iraq in 16 months.

It concludes, “Unlike Senator McCain, I would make it absolutely clear that we seek no presence in Iraq similar to our permanent bases in South Korea. . . [F]or far too long, those responsible for the greatest strategic blunder in the recent history of American foreign policy have ignored useful debate in favor of making false charges about flip-flops and surrender. It’s not going to work this time. It’s time to end this war.”⁴

It’s important that we all work to get the word out about these developments. You can even start by just forwarding this email. Most Americans still don’t know that the Iraqis want us out. And that may be the single most important fact to share at this point in time.

I’m always shocked when someone points out that it’s been six years since we first started working together to prevent an Iraq war. This week, we’re turning a corner in that fight. Bush’s permanent war agreement has fallen through. The Iraqi politicians are speaking up. And if we keep working together, we just might see the remaining holdouts in Washington coming around as well.

Thanks for all you do,

–Eli Pariser

PS. Minutes ago, Barack Obama finished making a major speech on Iraq and foreign policy. Here’s how he described the Bush-McCain approach:

George Bush and John McCain don’t have a strategy for success in Iraq—they have a strategy for staying in Iraq. They said we couldn’t leave when violence was up, they say we can’t leave when violence is down. They refuse to press the Iraqis to make tough choices, and they label any timetable to redeploy our troops “surrender,” even though we would be turning Iraq over to a sovereign Iraqi government—not to a terrorist enemy. Theirs is an endless focus on tactics inside Iraq, with no consideration of our strategy to face threats beyond Iraq’s borders.

The good people at Fox News need to learn a lesson or two about the difference between negating an opposing position and outright kicking below the belt while distracting the ref with overused out of context clips. Sign the petition here that calls for an end to the Obama smear campaign.

“FOX must stop injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue. We intend to hold FOX, its advertisers, and its personalities accountable for FOX’s attempts to smear the Obamas.”

The video gives some very good examples.*
