Superdelegate Brad Miller (D-NC) endorses Obama!

Obama gains another superdelegate...

Congressman Miller said, “Senator Obama understands that he has the chance not just to win the election this year, but to be a great president. Americans know that Republican policies have failed because their ideas are wrong. Americans know that our government has not acted, to use Franklin Roosevelt’s words, as trustees for the whole people, but have taken the side of powerful economic interests on every issue. Americans want a fundamental change in course. Senator Obama has seized that opportunity...

“If Senator Obama and Democratic candidates up and down the ticket win this year and then deliver next year, we can build a consensus that will last a generation..."

Senator Obama said, “We are grateful today for Congressman Brad Miller’s support. In this time of economic turmoil, Congressman Miller has shown real leadership in fighting to crack down on predatory lenders and provide relief for struggling homeowners. Our campaign was fortunate to have record numbers of voters turn out to support our movement for change this week in North Carolina, and I’m proud to have Congressman Miller’s support as we continue this fight to bring about real change for families across the country.”

Obama on predatory lending

Obama discusses the mortgage crisis during a rally in San Antonio, TX on Tues, Jan 19th. Once he's President of the United States, he will set-up a $10 billion fund to help people remain in their homes. He also plans to continue his fight against predatory lenders.

I get a bit annoyed when I hear someone criticize Obama for not having a plan or any good ideas, only rhetoric. That's ridiculous on many levels! The man has a plan for every pressing issue, and he goes into detail on his website. Check out the issues page.

You can also download your own copy of his 64-page Blueprint for Change: Obama's Plan for America. If you take the time to review it in its entirety, I believe you will have to admit not only does the man have many ideas, he has some of the BEST ideas.

Breaking News: Teamsters Union Endorse Obama!

Hi fellow Obama supporters!

I am pleased to inform you that CNN has reported the Teamsters Union is endorsing Obama for President of the United States! This union has over 1.4 million members. I'm sure this comes as a huge let-down to Senator Clinton. The Teamsters are longtime supporters of the Clintons. Fortunately, they made a decision based on what is best for our country.

The Teamsters endorsement is great for Obama for a number of reasons. It will certainly help him attract more support from working class communities throughout Ohio. But more importantly, he now has access to a team of volunteers that can assist with phonebanking, door-to-door canvassing and of course, more donations! Fired Up & Ready To Go!!

Here is a quote from the president of the Teamsters:

“Senator Obama understands the challenges working people face every day,”Hoffa said. “He is the candidate in the best position to lead our movement to restore the American dream for working people in this country. Senator Obama will fight for better wages, real health care reform, stronger retirement security, fair trade and an end to the outsourcing of good jobs. He understands the importance of giving workers a voice at work and will fight for strong unions to help rebuild America’s middle class."
