Barack_Obama Best wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. - Dec 29, 2009 add/view comments (10)

Ok Mr. President, first I must say, thank you. Thank you for asserting your position when defending the rights of the American people. I watched your address to the nation and your visit to the GOP summit. Thank you for the transparency, and your attention to detail.
I must say, you had me researching articles 1, 2, and three of the Constitution. If you will, I would like to share what I found. I expect to be graded fairly:
Ok, so on February 1, 2010 President Obama ?defends his $3.83 trillion budget?. You can see the ?defense? in its entirety at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/35158320#35182776.
I had the luxury of hearing this defense with my own ears, and am in agreement with what President Obama is proposing. So he ?sends a budget to congress which reflects the serious challenges facing the country over the coming years.?
President Obama: Our Economy has lost 7 million jobs over the last two years and our government is deeply in debt??
Andrea: Today I accompanied my friend to his VA appointment and as soon as I stepped in the door, President Obama was front and center, speaking to concerned citizens in New Hampshire. (Nice); my thoughts averted back to his address from the White House concerning the budget proposal.
Sitting next to me was a wise woman. I noticed the attention she was paying to what President Obama was saying. Sensing a common ground between her and me, I shared with her my thoughts concerning the backlash the president is receiving on the heels of this new budget proposal. My thoughts are simply this, we are no longer 13 colonies, we are 50 states and that?s what the deficit reflects.
President Obama: Where at war?Our government?s in debt and the fact is, 10 years ago we had a budget surplus of more than two hundred billion dollars with projected surpluses...Previous administration and previous congress created an expensive new drug program, massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and funded two wars that has never been paid for all of which was compounded by a recession and rising health care cost?.
Andrea?: As a result, upon taking office, President Obama and his new administration was faced with a ?deficit of 1.3 trillion dollars with projected deficits of 8 trillion dollars over the next decade?? What is a President to do? Please follow the above link to watch the full video.
America, I only ask that we take time to think about cause and effect. We deal with this aspect of reality almost on a daily basis. We must all take accountability for our actions. That includes the powers that be.
President Obama was elected because the American people sensed the poor state of our otherwise perfect union and understood something must be done. Let?s hold accountable those individuals who have a duty to ?establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity??
Enough with being preachy, I want to end this long letter with something I uncovered. Two minutes and twenty five seconds into the televised correspondent, President Obama began to lay out in detail what his budget will include. Check this out; in my Constitutional Law book, there are Supreme Court Opinions. One particular Supreme Court opinion stood out the most to me. Clinton v. City of New York 524 U.S. 417, (1998); Justice Stevens delivered the opinion of the court.
The above mentioned case involved the Line Item Veto Act which gives the President the power to ?cancel in whole? three types of revision that has been signed into law. Ok, this is where I have my uh huh moment, when I realized that this man, President Barack Obama is indeed doing it by the book. See if you noticed this as well.
After watching this video, read Justice Stevens opinion and let me know if you get it. Let?s continue to hold any elected official accountable that shows disregard for the American people and the state of our union. Greed should not win in the end. Recovery is never over night, and one year in office won?t get the job done either. Let?s keep that in mind. It will take at least another 7 to ensure stability.

Peace and Many blessings to you Mr. President.?

Celebrate Black History Month With A Gift Of Historical Significance From Thomas Blackshear?s Award-Winning Collection

For the first time in history, Nobel Peace Prize Recipient and President of the United States of America, Barack Obama joins the Tuskegee Airman, a United States Army figurine, an Ebony Visions? African-American Nativity and a heart-warming portrait of Mother Teresa, as part of the exciting presentation of Thomas Blackshear?s newest artistic renderings with one piece garnering the attention of the United States Postal Service.

Ripon, CA, January 7, 2010 ? Now that the holiday season is over, what better way to ring in the New Year than to start making plans for a Black History Month Celebration? Only a few weeks away, the month of February is set aside to focus on the many momentous events and courageous feats of Black Americans. Just in time to commemorate some of these great contributions, internationally acclaimed artist, Thomas Blackshear unveils several new designs of historical significance. Each piece of his collection can be purchased from Blackshear Online for yourself or as a thought-provoking gift that will arouse interest and inspire style for any decor.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FIGURINE & BUST
Beginning with the highest office in the land, Blackshear presents a handsome figurine of our 44th President and Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, an artistically detailed rendition produced by the famous Lenox China Company, our president stands in front of two American flags as he looks toward the future as Leader of the Free World.

In a candid interview, Thomas explains the inspiration that led him to create the Obama figurine. ?The reason why I wanted to do the Obama piece was because something was happening in this country that had never been done before. This was a piece of history that was unfolding right before our eyes. Who ever thought that we would have a black president in our life time, and it?s already happened.?

Winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, Obama?s election was a historic event, not only for Black History but for the history of the United States. In addition to the figurine, Blackshear is introducing the Barack Obama Bust, a stately sculpture that adds distinction to any room. Both presidential pieces ship February in plenty of time to celebrate Black History Month.

THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN
Taking a step back in time, Blackshear salutes The Tuskegee Airmen of WWII, dedicated, determined young black men who enlisted to become America?s first black military airmen. Part of the award winning Ebony Visions? collection and a first in its series, The Airman is a realistically detailed figurine that portrays the proud courage of those brave men who fought for America while battling racial injustice both here and abroad. History buffs and military collectors will appreciate the authenticity of the airman?s flight gear. An honorable piece that is sure to incite intelligent conversation and in-depth studies into the historic contributions of Black Americans.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN NATIVITY SERIES
Another new addition to Thomas Blackshear?s Ebony Visions?, collection is the much awaited and highly anticipated Wise Man and The Nativity Camel. The fifth and sixth pieces in the Nativity Series that also includes Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, and the Angel Gabriel along with The Nativity Donkey and Sheep with Lamb figurines. Each piece is painstakingly detailed and brought to life in full color. Like all of Blackshear?s Ebony Visions? collection, the Nativity features a blend of African culture and Art Nouveau that Thomas refers to as Afro-Nouveau, as he explains, ?Ebony Visions? is inspired by art deco works that have been practiced for centuries, all I did was put a black face on it.?

FOUR-PART MILITARY SERIES
Rounding out these poignant pieces of the Ebony Visions? collections is the first of its series, United We Stand?Army. Blackshear does a splendid job of capturing the bravery and integrity of a young soldier and what better time than Black History Month to honor our heroic men and women in the armed forces? This four-part military series will eventually include the Navy, Air Force and Marines figurines.

MOTHER TERESA UNITED STATES POSTAL STAMP
Award-winning artist, Thomas Blackshear is widely known for his many works including illustrations for the United States Postal Service. His most recent contribution is a portrait of Mother Teresa, Nobel Peace Prize honoree, she was known worldwide for her humanitarian efforts of ministering to the poor and indigent. On August 26, 2010, Mother Teresa?s 100th birthday, the USPS will honor her life?s work with the release of a commemorative stamp featuring Blackshear?s heart-warming portrait of her.
