Obama, Tupac and Rocky
It's Inauguration Day 2009. Time to reflect.
Two years ago I dropped by that little park in L.A. next to Dorsey High to hear Barack Obama speak. I blogged about it. I'd read both of his books and I was intrigued by the idea of an American politician who was so fluent in English. I bought into his speech that day, purchased a t-shirt and started ObamaFest.com, a pro-bama blog with a Los Angeles slant.
Two years later, my work here is done. Bush is flying back to Texas, Karl Rove is passed out drunk in a 14th St. cathouse, and Dick Cheney is rolling around in his wheelchair, finally looking exactly like who he reminded us of all along, old man Potter from the Bedford Falls Bank:
So today I am retiring the Obama '08 t-shirt that I purchased way back in '07. It was in heavy rotation and will need to be replaced. I scoured my closet and found a big t-shirt that I haven't yet worn. I bought it a while back but when I brought it home I had one of those, "What was I thinking?" moments. It seemed a bit flashy for the suburbs, so I tucked it away.
Well, that shirt comes out today, for I am emboldened by this defining moment and by the words of President Obama:
"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.I wear Tupac with pride and hope and love, and I say to all da tru down azz bitches who tried to derail the Obama Express, I aint mad at cha.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
Rock: Way to hold things down. O.R.T. (Obama, Rocky, Tupac) representin' with pride. Your new tshirt is only a symbol or mere reflection of the values shared in your gangsta OC hood. I was a bit surprised that you didn't throw up the "O" "C" gang sign in your photo.

Tupac and Obama are the same, in the sense that both are afro-americans, meaning they are black and that although both may life in very different ways and have very different professions, both take pride in what they do and never give a damn on what people say about them.

Obama and Tupac are the same. Both fight for their right and freedom. Tupac is black, Obama is Black, both are being discriminated and highly scrutinized in everything they do. When Tupac talks, people look at every word and they do so to with Obama.

I do hope that Obama does what he has promised to do for U.S.A, and that is to make it an even better country and make it crawl its way past the recent recession. Its already on its way there, and the new health care bill looks really really promising.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real pass4sure comptia. They are austere and they are many. They will not be met calmly or in a abbreviate amount of time. But apperceive this, America — they will be met. On this day, we accumulate because we accept called achievement over fear, accord of purpose over battle and discord.
On this day, we appear to affirm an end to the petty grievances and apocryphal promises, the recriminations and exhausted dogmas, that for far too continued accept deadened our politics pass4sure ccna.
We abide a adolescent nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has appear to set abreast baby things. The time has appear to acknowledge our constant spirit; to accept our bigger history; to backpack advanced that adored gift, that blue-blooded idea, anesthetized on from bearing to generation: the God-given affiance that all are equal iscw pass4sure, all are free, and all deserve a adventitious to accompany their abounding admeasurement of happiness."

They done a much proud full things and never give a damn on what people say about them. Those T-shirts aimed to be get wore people with great proud, hope and love to the man which is embedded on the T-shirts. This new T-shirt is only a symbol to share the ideas of those great peoples. Also it is a diplomatic way to attract those people to buy those shirts. Now a days these shirts have been selling out most commonly and have become more popular. gnc store hours

People deserve good life and home loans or consolidation loan will make it better. Just because freedom depends on money.
