He is developing a treaty with the Iraq government that would force our military to stay in Iraq for the next ten years. Senator Clinton has strongly suggested a bill that would force President Bush to seek Senate approval before any binding treaties could be made with the Iraq government. Senator Obama said he would be happy to support the bill. Can anyone in their right mind agree with King George that he has the right, god given or otherwise, to make treaties all by himself like this one that would hog tie our next president's hands when it comes to the removal of troops from Iraq. I must admit it was pleasing to see Senator Clinton and Senator Obama agreeing on supporting each other on such an important issue. It just goes to show that those two could work well together if they wanted to play nice. If there is one person in this country that needs watching and needs put back in his place then all three of our presidential candidates should be keeping a careful eye on King George. Should anyone be surprised that he was trying to make this treaty quietly while everyone's attention was on the economy? God only knows what that man will try next.
Good Job Albuquerque Journal
The Albuquerque Journal did a good job in reporting the voting record of the State House of Representatives when it came to the Domestic Partner Bill (HB9). I hope that they keep up the good job with other important bills that are pasted in the State House and State Senate over the next 30 days. Being able to see how our representatives' vote on important issues can only help voters make more informed choices during next year's elections.
Senator Obama wins South Carolina Primary
No surprise that Senator Obama would win in South Carolina. It is interesting that after all of the fighting that Senator John Edwards had a good showing in the race.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
