This promises to be quite a moment for the world. Of course it was always going to be a moment of great historical import for Americans, but the interview in the Chicago Tribune suggests that there will be great meaning in it for a whole other part of the world.

In his first post-election newspaper interview, with reporters from the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, Obama was asked: “Do you anticipate being sworn in as Barack Obama or Barack Hussein Obama?"

He replied: “I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition, not trying to make a statement one way or the other. I'll do what everybody else does.”

Obama Unveils National Security Team

That’s a Wrap | 11:35 a.m. As they all walked off stage, Mr. Obama put his arm around Mrs. Clinton and escorted her out while the others tagged along. The entire press conference underscored that, at least for now, Mrs. Clinton is first among equals.

[This was formerly a live thread]

The Press Conference is done, the new President Elect was assured, witty and authoritative. His posture displayed great confidence and increasingly the gravitas befitting his new position.
Questions ranged from Iran and Economy to Puppies. Beyond the obviously important contents of the questions and answers, it was particularly interesting to see the press reaction. They stood when he entered the room, and according to Ben Smith, none of them used a laptop, opting to look at the new President Elect rather than a screen. Oh and notably missing from called on press? Fox news. If you recall Bush's first press conference after the 04 election, a fox reporter was called on second or third i believe. I hope this is a new precedent from the new President.

So today we have this story courtesy of sam stein at huffpo,

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania is sending out a flier that paints John McCain and Hillary Clinton as political allies, and presents the McCain-Palin ticket as the one to break the glass ceiling in which Clinton "left 18 million cracks."

im going to paste some quotes from the pamphlet here to give you a flavor of the crazy, for more you can read Stein's whole article. (linked above)

SurveyUSA were pretty good during the primaries, they just released this:

Palin Speech Moves Independents: Results of two nationwide polls conducted by SurveyUSA show Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention on the evening of 09/03/08 has helped the McCain campaign.

24 hours ago, independent voters nationwide were split on whether Palin was an asset or a liability to McCain's campaign. Today, by a 2:1 margin, independents say Palin is an asset. Overnight, the percentage calling the Alaska governor an asset to the campaign climbed 13 points; the percentage calling her a liability fell 17 points.

The numbers are similar among moderates, who 24 hours ago viewed Palin as a liability by an 11 point margin; today, Palin is seen as an asset by an 18 point margin.

Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary since the murder of Dr King.

I am posting this today because tomorrow i am busy at the Graduation for my Masters degree. 40 years to the day the man was killed i am thankful for the trail that MLK blazed, the path he lit with righteousness, the road i was able to travel down because he showed me the way.

Below is a video i made to celebrate his life and reflect on his death.

Please rec if you like the video

Via TalkLeft and The AP

The AP has released new delegate totals. As a result of New York and Colorado releasing final numbers, Obama's delegate lead is the same now as it was before Mississippi. Here's what happened:

Obama won 19 of the 33 delegates at stake Tuesday, according to the Associated Press tally, which gives him an overall lead, including superdelegates, of 111.

Clinton, however, eliminated Obama's gain from Mississippi when she picked up five delegates yesterday based on final results from the New York primary and the Colorado caucuses, both held Feb. 5.
