Obama's campaign stunt

Yesterday, at 8 p.m. (EDT), Obama launched his revolutionary and first-time-ever 30 minute commerical-video. It aired in six national broadcasters.

This is a sign of Obama's more offensive and public way of running for the oval office, McCain on his side attended a smaller rail in Texas...

Sometimes finding the truth is easier than facing it.

“In the valley of Elah” is a mesmerizing movie about a retired sergeant chasing the truth of his son’s tragic and unpredicted death. The son had recently returned from his service in Iraq, and was living at a military base in New Mexico. After an extensive investigation he finds out that his son was killed by a comrade from his own troop.

The service in Iraq affected the whole troop mentally. War on Terrorism is no game. It’s a deadly fight to survive and protect one’s country’s liberty and pride. The contrasts between Iraq in war and the peaceful US are vast and indescribable, and the many home-coming soldiers from Iraq seems to be having a hard time trying to accept that as a true.

As a result of what they experienced in Iraq, their lives back home were hard to handle. Home-coming soldiers tend to have problems accommodating the differences between a damaged country and a welfare society.
This causes angriness. And one day it all blackened…

Republican Powell endorses Obama

Republican Colin Powell confirmed today that he will vote for the democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, citing his "ability to inspire".

According to CNN, Powell stated:
"I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama".

I think it's great!

These are the differences between Obama and MacCain

Both Obama and McCain are using the final campaign weeks to collect votes. I've listed their opinions in the hot-button issues to see what the main differences are.

Abortion
The Abortion debate representens one of the biggest differences between The Democrats and The Republicans. While Obama fights for women's right to decide for themselves, McCain (and especially Palin) has used several opportunites to demonstrate their strongly concervative point of view in this cause.
Afghanistan
Obama wants to withdraw US forces for Iraq as quickly as possible. He emphasise the fact that Osama Bin Laden and afghanian forces represent a bigger threat than Iraq. McCain wants to stay in Iraq for undetermined time.
Death penalty
McCain supports an expansion of the statutory framework considering death penalty.
Obama supports death penalty for certain crimes. He wants to revise the legal framework to prevent miscarriage of justice.

Bush: 'Lot of work to do' before leaving office'

I think he should resign immediately...

McCain better do something quick...

At this very moment, (October 7th at 23:50 pm - Norway/Oslo), it is only 3 hours and 10 minutes left before the second live debate between Barack Obama and John McCain commences.

The polls are clear; Barack Obama is the most popular candidate at the present time. Today it is only four weeks left to the election day, and if McCain doesn't use the night's opportunity well, he will lose. Be sure.

Last week the McCain-administration tried to change the whole "election-debate-theme" and almost ignored the debate concering the financial crisis that we are suffering from, instead they planted rumors and personal attacks claiming that Obama enjoys to associate terrorists.

I don't know how to interpret all of this. But my impression is that McCain is somewhat desperate, and that he better do well, really well, in tonight's debate to change the negative trend that the Republicans are experiencing.

I'm a bit worried...

According to CNN, Ben Bernanke (Fed Chairman) predicts that the financial crisis we're experiencing today is likely to hold the U.S. economy back for quite a while...

We're talking into 2009, maybe longer... I must say I am a bit worried...

To me, it seems like the U.S. economy finally has escaped from its wretched "womb", and now it is finally time for it to be changed.

This is a developing story, stay tuned for updates.

The mass media

Nowadays, it is extremely important that we recognize that there is always some entity behind the stories that are published in the mass media. Always question what you hear and read and be critical to every source you use! Even when you use medias that you "rely on" and see as trustworthy...

Let the game begin...

I've been asked to write a blog in English, and it's supposed to contain my thoughts considering economical, political and social causes that I find interesting.
