Obama’s final rally in Virginia. It’s a good one.

Switching race between Obama and McCain is a bit freaky, but nicely pulled off.

Today is the day to elect Obama for president. Let’s us all do our part before he could do his. Let’s make a change. Please get out and vote.

A few readers have notified me the kind of ads featuring on my site. The support for Prop 8 as well as McCain-Palin ticket do not concur with my position. The ads are from Google and I have no control over what type of ads get to display; therefore, I have pulled them off for now (or at least until the election is over). Thanks folks for letting me know.

It must be an emotional day for Obama. His grandmother had passed away the day before the election. Obama had done the right thing by spending time with her before she left. I am sure she’ll smile down from heavens tomorrow and watch her grandson make it through.

Paul Krugman explains why McCain is losing the election:

As the economic scene has darkened, I’d argue, Americans have rediscovered the virtue of seriousness. And this has worked to Mr. Obama’s advantage, because his opponent has run a deeply unserious campaign.

Think about the themes of the McCain campaign so far. Mr. McCain reminds us, again and again, that he’s a maverick — but what does that mean? His maverickness seems to be defined as a free-floating personality trait, rather than being tied to any specific objections on his part to the way the country has been run for the last eight years.

Andrew Sullivan:

It will not be easy. The world will soon remember why it resents America as well as loves it. But until this unlikely fellow with the funny ears and strange name and exotic biography emerged on the scene, I had begun to wonder if it was possible at all. I had almost given up hope, and he helped restore it. That is what is stirring out there; and although you are welcome to mock me for it, I remain unashamed. As someone once said, in the unlikely story of America, there is never anything false about hope. Obama, moreover, seems to bring out the best in people, and the calmest, and the sanest. He seems to me to have a blend of Midwestern good sense, an intuitive understanding of the developing world that is as much our future now as theirs’, an analyst’s mind and a poet’s tongue. He is human. He is flawed. He will make mistakes. His passivity and ambiguity are sometimes weaknesses as well as strengths.

Even though Obama’s plan will increase taxes on the rich, two of the riches men in the world, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, have endorsed him.

I just watched John McCain’s opening act on SNL with Cindy and Tina Fey as Palin. While the clip is funny and I enjoyed both McCain’s and Fey’s performance, I can’t help but thinking what in the world is McCain doing on SNL when the election is coming to an end. Obama is out there speaking in the rain to get as much votes as he can while McCain is clowning around on SNL. Shouldn’t he be out there campaigning, especially when Obama is leading the way. It just goes to show how serious McCain can be on a crucial time like this or he is already accepting the defeat. When the election over, one thing I will surely miss is Fay’s outstanding performance as Palin.

After enjoying a gigantic bowl of Pho Time, I walked out the door and picked up a free Vietnamese magazine called Viet My to check out what it has to say about politic.

After flipping through twenty pages filled with ads, the first story titled “Barack Hussien Obama Voi Giac Mo Xa Hoi Chu Nghia Ngay Tai Hoa Ky” written by Ly Dai Nguyen. In the article Mr. Ly accused Obama of “wealth spreading” and linking his tax plan to the Vietnamese communist. The term he used is “Mancong Hanoi.” Mr. Ly argues that by helping the poor, Obama is destroying (“tieu diet”) the rich. I am not sure how much Mr. Ly is making, but if he writes this kind of article for this magazine, which distributes freely at every shop in Eden, I don’t think he could benefit McCain’s tax plan that favors the rich. Mr. Ly also pointed out that Collin Powell’s endorsement for Obama was simply because of their skin color even though General Powell had eloquently explained his support of Obama.

Another article by Tam Viet titled “Mot Loi Cong-Dao Cho Lien-Danh McCain-Palin” also criticized General Powell for endorsing Obama based on race. Mr. Tam first dismissed the Washington Post as untrustworthy, but then quoted the Post later showing the poll favored McCain even after General Powell publicly endorsed Obama. These guys has the audacity of accusing General Powell for supporting his own race instead of political issues, yet they are the ones that endorsing McCain simply just because of his history with the Viet Nam War instead of the issues. They even do it blatantly without even giving any explanation.

After reading these two articles, I could see why the older folks like our parents are supporting McCain. I don’t blame the parents because they get the false information from a magazine like this. I just tossed this cheap shit right into the recycle bin.
