~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama laid out his credentials to take on and beat Republican candidate John McCain in the fall election.
Sen. Barack Obama accepts his party's nomination for the presidency Thursday night.

~~Obama compared himself to McCain on domestic and foreign policy in an impassioned speech before a cheering crowd at the Democratic National Convention Thursday.

"If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next commander in chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have," he told supporters at the Invesco Stadium in Denver, Colorado.

Obama was greeted by tens of thousands of cheering supporters chanting "yes we can."

He called upon Americans to help usher in an era of change after eight years of what he called failed policies.

"Change happens because the American people demand it -- because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time," he said.

"This moment, this election, is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive."

He described a humble upbringing by his grandfather, a World War II veteran, and grandmother, who he said worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management. Watch reaction to the speech live on CNN.com

"I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine," he said. "These are my heroes. Theirs are the stories that shaped me. And it is on their behalf that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as president of the United States."

Hugo Chavez
Related to country: Venezuela

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

This one is on Hugo Chavez and his rantings....still interesting...!! Now i have found this guy to be quite controversial even for my standards but sometimes he really amuses me so i thought i'd share the article and if you have anything to say about it then go for it~:))



Watch this ABC interview of Hugo Chavez with Barbara Walters~

In his weekly television address this week, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez claimed German Chancellor Angel Merkel belonged to the same type of Christian fascist movement that supported Hitler. Read more about his diatribe and share your thoughts about it......

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez does a weekly radio and television show called, ‘Hello President’. He generally uses the time to rant on and on about whatever it is he wants his people to believe. Today week he was really on a roll. He spent some time informing his subjects listeners that the Columbian government had faked documents they had produced as proof of Chavez’ treachery in providing arms and finances to Columbian rebels. He said it was not true and therefore, as far as he is concerned, it isn’t true. He said it was not true and therefore his people had better believe it isn’t true. Or else.

After he got the whole Columbian rebel fake documents issue settled, he went on to address his latest nemesis, German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He claimed that she had called for other Latin American leaders to keep their distance from the current Venezuelan government. Well. He didn’t like that one bit. Of course, it couldn’t be verified that she had said anything of the sort. That doesn’t matter, of course. What matters is that Chavez can go off on another world leader that he doesn’t like, and there are a whole lot of them. As he was talking about Merkel he said, “Ms. Chancellor, you can go to …”. He stopped himself and then said that since she was a lady he wouldn’t say more. But he did say more. He said Chancellor Merkel belonged to the conservative Christian Democratic Union which he described as “She is from the German right, the same that supported Hitler, that supported fascism, that’s the Chancellor of Germany today”.

Chavez said he might confront Merkel at the summit of Latin American and European leaders this week in Peru. I’m sure she’s shaking in her proverbially boots.

The thing about Chavez, aside from the fact that he’s a petty Marxist dictator himself, is that he likes calling other world leaders names. Unless, of course, its his BFF Fidel Castro (who may or may not be still living). He also likes Lil’ Kim Jong-makes-me-Il, China, Ahma-dinner-jacket and assorted other governments and leaders that similarly repress and oppress their people and stand on the necks of their people to make themselves wealthy.

The world leaders he doesn’t like are many. He notably called President George W. Bush ‘el diablo’ at the U.N. General Assembly in 2006. He called Colombian President Alvaro Uribe a ‘liar’ and said he wasn’t competent to be running the corner store. He called President of Mexico Vicente Fox the ‘lap-dog of the empire.’ Chavez irritated Spanish King Juan Carlos so badly in 2007 that the King said, ‘why don’t you shut up?’ before storming out of a meeting with him (video below).

I’m sure Chavez will make some kind of headlines at the summit of Latin American and European leaders this week regardless of whether or not he decides to confront Merkel on her real or perceived comments. After all, making headlines and insulting world leaders is what he does best.




Chavez links Merkel with Hitler

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Mr Chavez stopped short of telling the German leader to go to hell....
~German Chancellor Angela Merkel has set off on a visit to Latin America, after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez linked her party to Hitler.

Mr Chavez threatened to confront Ms Merkel on Friday at a summit in Peru of Latin American and European leaders.

His outburst came after Ms Merkel said he did not speak for Latin America and would not affect EU relations.

As well as Peru, the German leader will visit Brazil, Mexico and Columbia.

"She is from the German right," said Mr Chavez. "The same that supported Hitler, that supported fascism. That's the Chancellor of Germany today."

The Venezuelan leader stopped short of telling Ms Merkel to go to hell, saying: "Ms Chancellor, you can go to... because you are a lady, I won't say any more."

Angela Merkel 1 May 2008
Angela Merkel will start her visit to Latin America in Brazil

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso defended the German Chancellor by suggesting Mr Chavez's remarks did nothing to promote friendly relations.

"All declarations against the leaders of Europe, against someone with the personality of Chancellor Merkel, of course they're bad," he said.

Mr Chavez is no stranger to insulting international leaders.

He has called President Bush a "devil" and was told to "shut up" by King Juan Carlos of Spain after calling former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Below is a selection of the most memorable of Mr Chavez's colourful quotations.

THE DEVIL COMES


Chavez at the United Nations
Hugo Chavez used his speech to lash at US influence

Speech Extract
In a dramatic speech to the United Nations in September 2006, Mr Chavez famously described George W Bush as the "Devil".

The Devil is right at home. The Devil, the Devil himself, is right in the house.

And the Devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the Devil came here. Right here. [crosses himself] And it smells of sulphur still today.

Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the Devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world.

DANGER OR DONKEY?

Mr Bush has long been the focus of Mr Chavez's tirades. In a nationally televised speech in March 2006, the Venezuelan leader was not short of ways to described the US president:

You are ignoramus, you are a burro, Mr Danger... or to say it to you in my bad English: [switching languages] You are a donkey, Mr Danger. You are a donkey, Mr George W Bush.

[Returning to Spanish] You are a coward, a killer, a [perpetrator of] genocide, an alcoholic, a drunk, a liar, an immoral person, Mr Danger. You are the worst, Mr Danger. The worst of this planet... A psychologically sick man, I know it.

DON'T MESS WITH ME, LITTLE GIRL

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
Condoleezza Rice had described Venezuela as a menace
Mr Chavez has referred to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as "little girl" on a number of occasions.

In February 2006, Ms Rice described Venezuela as a menace to regional democracy.

She spoke of an "inoculation strategy" against a country she called a "sidekick" of Iran.

During his weekly Sunday broadcast, Mr Chavez replied with a warning to Ms Rice:

Remember, little girl, I'm like the thorn tree that flowers on the plain. I waft my scent to passers-by and prick he who shakes me. Don't mess with me, Condoleezza. Don't mess with me, girl.

He blew a screen kiss to Ms Rice and jokingly referred to her as "Condolence."

IMPERIALIST PAWN

Tony Blair
Tony Blair was accused of not having an morals
The former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also came in for verbal abuse. In 2006, Mr Blair urged Venezuela to abide by the rules of the international community. Mr Chavez replied that Mr Blair had flouted those very rules by invading Iraq.

Don't be shameless, Mr Blair. Don't be immoral, Mr Blair. You are one of those who have no morals. You are not one who has the right to criticise anyone about the rules of the international community.

You are an imperialist pawn who attempts to curry favour with Danger Bush-Hitler, the number one mass murderer and assassin there is on the planet.

Go straight to hell, Mr Blair.

Chavez rejects 'attack' by Blair

THE NEW HOLOCAUST

Also in 2006, Mr Chavez warned that his country would most likely sever links with Israel in protest at its military offensive in Lebanon.

He said he had "no interest" in maintaining relations with Israel, which he has accused of committing genocide.

Israel has gone mad. It's attacking, doing the same thing to the Palestinian and Lebanese people that it has criticised - and with reason - [in the case of] the Holocaust. But this is a new Holocaust.

Venezuela 'to sever Israel ties'

SAD, SO SAD

Mr Chavez has verbally blasted his neighbours on a number of occasions. In 2005, he described his then Mexican counterpart, Vicente Fox, as a puppy dog for United States imperialism.

Mr Chavez said Mr Fox had, as he put it, been left bleeding by a recent Summit of the Americas.

It makes one sad to see the sell-out of President Fox, really it makes one sad.

How sad that the president of a people like the Mexicans lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire.

YET ANOTHER 'IDIOT'

Earlier this year, Mr Chavez called on the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Jose Miguel Insulza, to resign after he condemned the Venezuelan government's decision not to renew a private TV station's licence.

Dr Insulza is quite an idiot, a true idiot.

The insipid Dr Insulza should resign from the secretariat of the OAS for daring to play that role.

IN PRAISE OF MUGABE

Robert Mugabe
President Chavez praised Robert Mugabe as a "freedom fighter"
At times, Mr Chavez has riled the international community not with his verbal abuse, but with his praise of controversial heads of state.

In 2004, he praised Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe as a "freedom fighter".

I give you a replica of liberator Simon Bolivar's sword. For you who, like Bolivar, took up arms to liberate your people.

For you who, like Bolivar, are and will always be a true freedom fighter. [Mugabe] continues, alongside his people, to confront the pretensions of new imperialists.

Mr Mugabe, who was in Venezuela for a summit of the G-15 group of developing nations, smiled as he unsheathed the sword and swung it about.

HALLOWEEN

In 2005, Mr Chavez issued an attack on Halloween, telling his countrymen that it had no place in Venezuelan society.

He used his weekly TV and radio broadcast to caution that the observance is strictly a "gringa," or North American custom. He described it as:

Terrorism, putting fear into other nations, putting fear into their own people.

Families go and begin to disguise their children as witches. This is contrary to our way.

Snoop Dogg on Obama...Really funny read...!
Related to country: United States

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

~ Snoop Dogg Reveals the KKK Supports Barack Obama~

When it comes to finding out what’s really going on behind the scenes in politics … who ya gonna call ….snoop dogg smoking....Ofcourse this is purely for amusement coz' boy did it crack me up...~:)
Snoop Dogg Smokin’.....Snoop Dogg, of course ha ha ha ha ........!!!!



The democrats have been tearing themselves apart with racial issues, gender issues and just plain nastiness. Just when you think the party is irrevocably broken the Snoop Savior steps forward to offer words of wisdom to help begin healing the rifts between the various factions of the party of inclusion.

Snoop Dogg sat down with the Guardian, admired himself in the mirror wearing thousands of dollars worth of gold and diamonds and proceeded to explain how the system, you know, the government, has kept black people down. He hadn’t heard of Barack Obama’s race speech, but when the person interviewing him told him about it he agreed with it. I like my men well read like that.

Snoop Dogg explained how the KKK is one of Obama’s biggest supporters. You know, one guy knows another guy who knows another guy. Wait, I might have left out a guy …. weren’t there any girls in that line of people knowing other people? I got confused. He also admires Louis Farrakhan, but doesn’t see that as a problem for racial relations between blacks and Jews. He says its the government that has created a rift between blacks and Jews. According to him, if the government hadn’t put a wedge between blacks and Jews the Jews would be telling blacks how to make money and keep it in the family. I think he was actually serious when he said that.

I admit I took some liberties with quoting Snoop. What he actually said was more like … bleep *#&$#@ bleep KKK *&$#@# Obama *@#**$@ money @#@$^Y%#@ gobment *#&$(#@# Louis Farrakhan bleep Jews *#@#&$@ money *#@@*@#*$# house *#*&@&. That’s pretty much an exact quote.

Fo shizzle~

Funny Funny Stuff!!!

Sorry guys i haven't been around so am making it up to you all with this funny article LOL and hope you all enjoy it as i did, talk soon all~:)))

India child malnourishment rates worse than Africa

February 21, 2007 + Read Full Article

India has higher levels of malnourished children than Sub-Saharan Africa, despite the Asian giant having more funds and better infrastructure to tackle the problem, the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Wednesday.

A recent survey by the Indian health ministry, backed by UNICEF, has found that almost 46 percent of children under the age of three are undernourished. About 35 percent of children in Sub-Saharan Africa region are malnourished.

"In terms of the under-nutrition levels, certainly India is at a much higher level than the average Sub-Saharan African country," Werner Schultink, chief of child development and nutrition for UNICEF in India, told a news conference.
