POPS"Hello Dalai" He has a sense of humor all right, but he is known worldwide for his serious devotion to peace, equality, and civil rights, and admitted an admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Dr. King, although I never met, but I heard his sort of motivation, his determination, his service for civil rights.” As they stopped by the statue of Tom Lee to pay respects, Lowery told the Dalai Lama how Tom Lee saved 32 lives by pulling them from the river. His Holiness left a mark on the two men welcoming him to town. Mayor Wharton said, “This visit lets the world know that Dr. King ’s beliefs still live on are still viable and I think it’s just so fitting that his holiness has seen fit to visit our great city.”

POPSRacist Cowards - E Pluribus Unum And they insist on inflicting into every thought and daily conversation within the black community a general and constant grievance-addled invective that fosters a victimhood mindset? Just a thought. So…let me get this straight. If I’m a racist coward because I don’t want to talk about race all the time, don’t want to even think about it, just wish all racism would go away, and everybody just get along as if we we’re all just human beings…and truly do want to judge people not based on skin color, but on the content of their character… Does that mean Dr. Martin Luther King was also a racist? If he were here today, and repeated those words about ‘content of character’ …would Eric Holder call Dr. King a coward? Now I understand. Eric Holder is Anomaly100 on Clipmarks.

POPSAretha Franklin Sings at Obama's Inauguration She sang "(America) My Country 'Tis of Thee." This song was based on the British "God Save the Queen." It's not an official song. Verses get changed. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to it, 'let freedom ring,' in his famous "I Have a Dream Speech." I'm not sure of one line in her last verse. ______ My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side Let Freedom ring. Our fathers' God to Thee, Father of Liberty, To thee we sing, Long may our land be bright With Freedom's holy light, Protect us by thy might Let Freedom ring Yeah, yeah yeah Free let it ring let it ring, let it ring for the red, (white & blue) ?? All the way to the Allegheny Mountains let it, let it, let it let it ring, let it ring, let it ring END

POPSThe New White House Website is a Blog I'm a blogger so it was great see that the New President has adopted a blogging platform to get the word out more quickly and invite interaction from everyday people. The site has a place to leave a message and even list a phone number to call. President Obama is definitely "paddling outside the line" reaching out to all people. It is up to us to respond. He's given us a way in this new blog.

POPSHunger,gold& tin war,obama from kenya, M.L.King The day before Barack Obama is sworn in as the United States' first African-American president, his country is celebrating its national holiday for the black civil rights leader, Martin Luther King. Dr King's sister, Christine King Farris spoke to the BBC about her brother and gave her views on Barack Obama's presidency. Barack's bingo-loving stepmother, Kezia Obama lives in a council house in Berkshire & was once married to Obama's late Kenyan-born father, Barack Senior. Her children mostly live in Kenya, the place where she first met the man who is now one of the most important people in the world. Will the african children have food now, or just an ongoing gold war? its family now.

POPSWho Is Obama Most Like? We probably won't know for a very long time. But the poor guy has some awful big shoes to fill if people keep comparing him to others. In my opinion, trying to live up the standards set in another time, by another person is impossible. People are bound to be disappointed if they think he's the 'Next' anybody. This site tracks what people are searching on the internet. The full article is worth the read if only to peak your interest in what others are thinking.
