Obama’s inside click and preelection jitters

CNN reports a tradition that Barack Obama and his closest friends do the day before election day to ease the jitters. Just another candid look into the man who is now our President.

Special Episode #50: Born Again American

To celebrate the 50th episode of the U People Podcast join Olive, Hanifah and their friends on a one day journey of a lifetime. Cameras follow them on election day 2008 from getting up to vote, talking to people on the streets, to the point of reckoning, to dancing the night away. This episode is entitled Born Again American because in the end it is the only phrase that was thought of to describe the is new time and feelings about the country we call home.

U People Live Election Night

This was an experiment where we simply turned the cameras on during election night. If you have a couple of hours to watch us, well god bless. unfortunately our battery died just before he won. That sucks, but him winning didn’t. If you want to see our reaction when he won watch Episode #50; where we follow the entire day which includes street interviews, candid convo and hysteria!

We plan to do more live shows, but next time we will control the distortion and bring an extra batterry

Rachel Maddow Interviews Obama

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC interviews Barack Obama as we have just a few days to go until election day. In the interview they discuss about the GOP accusations of socialism, compare the present day GOP as oppose to the traditional values of Republicans, Afghanistan and rebuilding the nations infrastructure. Good Stuff and of course we love Rachel who confesses she wears sneakers underneath her desk when on air to remind herself who she is.

Boss, the plane!…Palin sees Vladimir’s plane over Alaska! (video)

Katie Couric keeps a straight face as she interviews Sarah Palin on her international experience with a focus on her comments around her front porch view of Russia. This interview shows why Katie makes the big bucks, because I dont’ think I could have held my jaw back from dropping. This reiterates how utterly and completely mortifying it would be if this woman even takes a wiff of the oval office. She reminds me of those mean white chicks from summer camp who’ve won meaningless popularity contests throughout life until they were forced to actually live one. Sarah Palin is a beauty contest winner turned mayor turned governor turned VP pick for the white house. This is one more popularity contest I hope she comes in dead last.

Below is an excerpt of that interview.

The transcript:

COURIC: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land– boundary that we have with– Canada. It– it’s funny that a comment like that was– kind of made to– cari– I don’t know, you know? Reporters–

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.

just for kicks:  Sarah Palin states she believes if Vladimir were to fly over America it woudl be through Alaska proving her strong international ties. just like the view from her front porch I imagine her much like in Fantasy island her leaping up to scream “The plane! The plane!”.
