OBAMA's DREAMZ

Reason #1 - Empathy and Genuine Help for Middle-Class Americans

Obama was born to a teenage mother, abandoned by his father at age two, and raised largely in a small apartment by his middle-class grandparents. At one point, Obama, his mother and younger sister relied on food stamps to put meals on the family table.

Michelle Obama, close counselor and best friend to her husband,both Barack and Michelle Obama speak frequently about what it means for middle-class Americans to be at a disadvantage financially and otherwise.

In vivid contrast, John and particularly Cindy McCain exude an aura of financial insularity and well-heeled elegance. Both were born wealthy, and have been quite wealthy for their entire lives

Obama offered actual, understandable policy solutions to help middle-class Americans, including: .

• a detailed 12-point program to repair the economy for middle-class families .. , including a $1,000 tax cut, creation of 5 million new jobs, protection of family homes from foreclosure, and reform of unfair bankruptcy laws.

• A Small Business Emergency Rescue Plan .. which includes emergency lending for small and family-owned businesses, special tax incentives and tax cuts, and expansion of Small Business Administration support and services.

• a specific plan to reform Wall Street practices, including new regulation of the financial markets, to blunt the greedy influence of special interests, crackdown on manipulation of financial markets, and more.

John McCain's tin ear on middle-class financial woes were evident in his prescription for the economy: more tax-cuts for major corporations, and continuation of the Bush tax cuts for U.S. millionaires. And this McCain stance is consistent with his stated desires to slash Medicare and privatize Social Security.

The American public is fed-up with failed Bush/McCain economics, which claim that prosperity will eventually "trickle down" to everyone else.

Obama won the presidential race largely because voters correctly perceive that he, and not John McCain, care about and will address middle-class economic struggles and inequities.

Reason #2 - Steady Leadership and Calm Temperament

As of October 21, 2008, Barack Obama earned more than 120 newspaper endorsements, versus 33 for John McCain.

Without exception, every Obama endorsement referred to his presidential-like personal and leadership qualities. And all echo the same basics about Obama's calm, steady, thoughtful nature, versus McCain's impetuousness and unpredictability.

Explained The salt Lake tribune , which has rarely endorsed a Democrat for president:

"Under the most intense scrutiny and attacks from both parties, Obama has shown the temperament, judgment, intellect and political acumen that are essential in a president that would lead the United States out of the crises created by President Bush, a complicit Congress and our own apathy."

Summed The Los Angeles Times: "We need a leader who demonstrates thoughtful calm and grace under pressure, one not prone to volatile gesture or capricious pronouncement... as the presidential race draws to its conclusion, it is Obama's character and temperament that come to the fore. It is his steadiness. His maturity."

And from The Chicago Tribune, founded in 1847, which has never before endorsed a Democrat for the presidency: "We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions. He is ready...

"Obama is deeply grounded in the best aspirations of this country, and we need to return to those aspirations.... He has risen with his honor, grace and civility intact. He has the intelligence to understand the grave economic and national security risks that face us, to listen to good advice and make careful decisions."

In contrast, during '08 presidential campaign, John McCain acted (and overreacted) inconsistently, unpredictably, and without forethought. Two examples of McCain's unsteady leadership were his erratic behavior during the financial markets meltdown, and in his poorly-vetted pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Obama's even-keel temperament made him seem well-suited to be President for these troubled, turbulent times.

And the mere image of ultra-volatile, careless John McCain in the White House was enough to scare the majority of the electorate into supporting Obama.

Reason #3 - Fair, Cost-Effective Health Care Insurance

Americans were finally fed-up enough with the unfairness of health care delivery in this country, to be ready to make the issue a priority in selecting a president.

The U.S. is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not have a universal health care system. As a result, in 2008, more than 48 million U.S. men, women and children have no health care insurance.

Despite being ranked #1 in health care spending by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. was ranked 72nd among 191 nations in 2000 in overall level of health of its citizens. And the state of U.S. health care has deteriorated further under the Bush administration.

Barack Obama's health care plan and policies will fairly ensure that every American will have access to good quality medical care services.

John McCain's health care plan was a stunningly radical scheme that will:

• still exclude millions of the uninsured,
• raise income taxes for most American families and,
• in the opinion of most experts, causes millions of employers to drop health care policies for their employees.

And unbelievably, McCain wanted to "deregulate" the health care insurance industry, much as Republicans disastrously deregulated U.S. financial markets under President George Bush.

Obama's Health Care Plan

Briefly, Obama will make available a new plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress. The new plan will include:

• Guaranteed eligibility
• No one will be turned away from any insurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions
• Comprehensive benefits
• Affordable premiums, co-pays and deductibles
• Easy enrollment
• Portability and choice

For more details, see Obama 101: Health Care.

Employers that do not offer or make a significant contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees will be required to contribute a percentage of payroll toward the costs of this plan. Most small businesses will be exempt from this mandate.

The Obama plan requires only that all children have health care coverage.

McCain's Health Care Plan

John McCain's health care plan was designed to control health care costs and to deregulate, and thus enrich, the health care industry, and is not necessarily designed to offer health care coverage to the uninsured.

For consumers, the McCain plan:

• required that insurance policies from employers be included in employees' taxable income, along with salary and bonuses, thereby causing employees' income taxes to increase;
• then provided a $5,000 tax credit to partially offset increased income taxes;
• deleted the employee health care insurance income tax deduction for all employers.

Innumerable experts predicted that these massive McCain changes would:

• cause the taxable income of the average family of four to rise by about $7,000;
• cause employers to drop health care insurance for employees;
• would cause an increase, not decrease, in Americans without health care coverage.

McCain's plan was intended to push millions of Americans into the market to buy their own individual health care policies, which will be offered by a newly deregulated health care insurance industry.

Newsweek reported, "The Tax Policy Center estimates that 20 million workers will leave the employer-based system, not always voluntarily . Midsize and smaller companies are likely to drop their plans... "

CNN/Money added, "McCain sorely lacks a plan for people in their 50s without corporate benefits, and Americans with pre-existing conditions, who would be brutally stripped of coverage if insurance crosses state lines."

Observed blogger Jim MacDonald, "The result... won’t be healthy competition that will lower costs for everyone. It’ll be higher costs and fewer options for the poor, the old, and the sick. That is, the people who need health care. Young, healthy, rich people won’t be affected... "

Obama's Plan: The Only Viable Choice

In summary::

McCain's so-called health care plan was intended to free the business community from providing for its employees, to enrich the health care insurance industry, and increase income taxes for all Americans. But not to provide health care services for the uninsured.

For anyone who valued their health care insurance, Barack Obama was the only viable choice for president.

Reason #4 - Withdrawal of Combat Troops from Iraq

Barack Obama bested Hillary Clinton by a small margin for the '08 Democratic presidential nomination due mainly to their differing positions on the Iraq War, especially at the war's inception in 2002.

Sen. Hillary Clinton voted YES in 2002 to give the Bush administration authorization to attack and invade Iraq. Sen. Clinton rightfully believes that Congress was misled by Bush, and after a while, she admitted her regret for her vote.

But Clinton's 2002 support for the unpopular war was brutal fact.

In contrast, Barack Obama famously spoke out in late 2002 against the Iraq War before Congress voted, declaring:

"I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt... to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

"What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income, to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression."

Obama on the Iraq War

Obama's stance on the Iraq War is unambiguous: he plans to immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.

Under an Obama administration, the U.S. will not build or maintain any permanent bases in Iraq. He of course, plans to temporarily maintain some non-combat troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats, and to complete the training of Iraq troops and police forces, as necessary.

Also, Obama plans to "launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent American history to reach a new compact on the stability of Iraq and the Middle East." This effort will include all of Iraq’s neighbors, including Iran and Syria.

For more, see :
• Obama 101: Ending the Iraq War
• Sen. Barack Obama: The Lessons of the Iraq War
• Obama's Stirring 2002 Speech Against the Iraq War

McCain on the Iraq War

McCain, a third generation Naval officer, voted in 2002 to give President Bush full authority to attack and invade Iraq. And he's continually served as supporter and cheerleader for the U.S. War in Iraq, albeit with occasional objections to strategies.

At the '08 Republican Convention and on the campaign trail, McCain and running mate Gov. Palin frequently proclaimed a goal of "victory in Iraq" and scoff at withdrawal timetables as foolish and premature.

McCain's website proclaimed "... it is strategically and morally essential for the U.S. to support the Government of Iraq to become capable of governing itself and safeguarding its people. He strongly disagrees with those who advocate withdrawing American troops before that has occurred."

McCain took this stance:

• despite the $12 billion monthly pricetag to U.S. taxpayers;
• despite the fact that the Iraqi government has a substantial budgetary surplus;
• despite mounting deaths and permanent maimings of U.S. soldiers;
• despite exhaustion of U.S armed forces;
• despite the crippling effect the Iraq War has on U.S. armed forces' abilities to address other conflicts and emergencies.

General Colin Powell, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Secretary of State, disagreed with McCain, as did General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, and as do dozens of other retired generals, admirals and other top brass.

Here's the really odd part: the Bush administration also disagreed with John McCain. Per various international sources on October 20, 2008, the U.S. is finalizing negotiations on a security agreement with Iraq:

"The agreement also contains a timetable for the withdrawal of the U.S. military from Iraqi cities and towns by June 30, 2009 and from Iraqi territory by Dec. 31, 2011."

Even General David Petraeus, often referred to with great reverence by McCain, recently told the British press that he would never use the word "victory" to describe U.S. involvement in Iraq and commented:

"This is not the sort of struggle where you take a hill, plant the flag and go home to a victory parade... it's not war with a simple slogan."

The hard truth is that John McCain, Vietnam War POW, was obsessed with the Iraq War. And he couldn't seem to shake his angry, unhealthy obsession despite either reality or exorbitant cost.

U.S. Voters Want Out of Iraq

Per CNN/Opinion Research Corp. polling from October 17 to 19, 2008, 66% of all Americans disapprove of the Iraq war.

Barack Obama was on the correct side of this issue, per the entire voting public, especially per the centrist, swing voters who decide most election outcomes.

Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election in part because he consistently exhibited wise judgment on the Iraq War, and because he insists on the obviously correct course of action.

Reason #5 - Joe Biden as Running Mate

Sen. Barack Obama won the presidency in part because of his wise selection of highly experienced, well-liked Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice-presidential running mate.

The first job of the vice president is to assume the presidency should the president become incapacitated. No one doubts that Joe Biden is fully prepared to become President of the United States, should that terrible occasion arise.

The second job of the vice president is to be of constant counsel to the president. In his 36 years in the U.S. Senate, Biden is one of the most respected American leaders on foreign policy, the U.S. judiciary, crime, civil liberties and many other vital areas.

For more, see Profile of U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.

With his gregarious, warm personality, Biden is suited to offer direct, smart counsel to the 44th president, as he has done for many other U.S. presidents.

As added bonus, the working chemistry and mutual respect between Obama and Biden is excellent.

For Americans concerned about Barack Obama's level of experience, Joe Biden's presence on the ticket added a large dose of gravitas.

Had he selected one of the able, but far less experienced candidates on this short list (Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, to name two top contenders), Barack Obama may have been less likely to reassure a majority of voters that the Democratic ticket was experienced enough to tackle today's tough issues.

Joe Biden vs. Sarah Palin

Joe Biden's deep grasp of the issues, appreciation of U.S. history and laws, and steady, experienced leadership were in jarring contrast to that of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate.

Republican nominee, 72-year-old John McCain, has had three episodes of melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, and gets an in-depth skin cancer check every few months.

Mr. McCain's serious health challenges greatly increased the risk that he could become incapacitated and/or pass away in office, which would require his vice president to become President of the United States.

It was widely recognized, even by a plethora of conservative pundits, that Sarah Palin was wholly unprepared to assume the presidency. (For more, see Sarah Palin in '08: The Good, The Bad & The Very Ugly.)

In contrast, Joe Biden was widely regarded as well prepared to assume the presidency.

Due to these five important political factors, Barack Obama won the November 4, 2008 election to become the 44th President of the United States.

Here are the steps For clean installing Xp of almost any service packs : :

Steps to Clean Install Xp

you can now boot the computer and follow the on screen prompts.
Have your Product Key available, typical install is around 30 minutes. If setup seems to
hang, wait at least 10 minutes + before restarting system.
You should experience
momentary screen blackouts.























































1:Power on the computer. Press the Pause/Break key as soon as you see
text on the screen. [If you currently are running in an OS of any flavor,
insert XP CD and restart computer. Skip to #3 if system is configured
to boot from CD.]


2. Insert XP CD into CD drive. Press ENTER to resume booting from the XP CD.
(BIOS must support booting from CD and boot order must be set so CD
boots before hard drive. If computer does not support booting from CD
go to 2a for floppy install).

2a. Floppy install: Boot from Win98/Me/Special XP install floppy
disk with smartdrv.exe added to the boot disk or the Win XP set
of 6 floppy disks.

3. Look for message "booting from CD" usually located at the bottom of
the screen. If you have a factory splash screen, press ESC to unload
it.


4. Press any Key when you see the prompt to "Press Any Key"


5. Setup will start copying files, if you need to install any third
- party or RAID drivers press F6 at this time. the copying of files
can take awhile.You can screen at the bottom files being copied....

6. Next you will get the option to repair or enter setup, choose to
enter setup. Press ENTER.

7. Press F8 if you agree to the license.

8. Setup will scan for previous Windows installations

9. If you are using the upgrade version of XP on a computer without
any version of Windows currently installed, this is where you will
replace the XP CD with your qualifying CD, XP setup will scan the
qualifying CD and instruct you to replace it with the XP CD to continue
XP setup; otherwise, you will not see this screen. Clean install
qualifying media can be any of the following Win NT3.51, 4.0, 2000,
Win 95, 98, Me.

10. Choose the location to install.

10a If this is a clean hard drive, you can choose to create a
partition in the un-partitioned space. At this point, you can allow
Setup to use all the space or set a size for the partition.

10b If the hard drive or partition has a previous installation of
XP you want to remove, choose to delete the partition by pressing
"D". You will then be prompted to create a new partition in the
empty space. This will remove all data from the delete space.

10c If you intend to use multiple partitions or dual boot, this is
where you specify the size of the boot partition and or setup
location for XP. If you are planning to dual boot XP, I would
create a small 100 meg DOS partition for the first primary partition,
then an 8 to 10 gig partition for XP. You can partition and format
the remaining space after XP is setup from Disk Manager. If you do not
intend to dual boot, you can either use all the un-partitioned space or create an 8 to 10 gig partition for XP and leave the rest free to
partition later.

Note: If a fat32 partition larger than 32 gigabyte is desired, the
hard drive or partition will need to be created before running XP
setup. XP will not create a fat 32 partition larger than 32 gig, but
will support one previously created.

11. Choose the file system from this screen. If dual booting and you
created the small 100 meg partition, make it a fat partition. NTFS is
configured at the optimal file size during the initial setup.

12. If you have more that one partition or hard drive on your system,
make sure you are formatting the correct partition/drive.

13. This is where you reinsert the XP Pro Upgrade CD.

14. Press ENTER to continue.

14. Setup will show a progress box and reboot when copying files is
complete.

15. When you see the "Press any Key to Reboot" do not Press any Key.
If CD boots anyway, remove CD and reboot.

16. From this point, you will follow the on screen prompts.

17. If you live outside the US, you will probably need to modify the
default settings.

18. Personalize your XP Enter your Name and Organization.

19. Enter the Product Key. The Key is located on the back of the CD folder
in the Retail versions and on a holographic label with the OEM
versions purchased with a piece of hardware. Write this key down and
secure it in a safe place in case the original is misplaced destroyed
through natural causes or stupidity.

20. Choose a name for the computer, this should be a unique name for
the computer, especially if it is to be connected to a network. In Pro,
you are given the option of creating a password or leaving it blank.

21. Set your Time Zone and Time and Date.

22. Setup will scan for network.

23. If detected you will have the choice to choose a typical
configuration or custom. Choose typical if you are unsure.

24. For home you will choose your workgroup, if a network is already
established and you intend to connect to it, use the existing
workgroup name, otherwise, I suggest using the default.

25. For Pro, the same goes for Pro as suggested for Home, but you will
have the choice to join a Domain, if you do not have a Domain or do
not know leave blank.

26. Setup will continue and reboot when completed ignore the "Press
Any Key".

27. The loading XP window will now display after reboot.

Note: All XP SP2 versions now show the same XP loading screen. Home
or Pro are no longer listed.

28. You will see a change display settings, say yes and accept the
setting if you can see the screen after accepting.

29. You will see a welcome screen, press next
and unfortunately you
have to wait for the dialog to finish.

30. Set up your internet or network connection Or skip


31. Setup users screen. Set at least one user for yourself or the person
that will be using the computer.

32. Thank You

33. Logon to XP and apply Service Pack and Critical updates from Windows
Update before installing any software or hardware.

34. Install your anti-virus software.

35. Install all applications and setup your email.

36. Restore from Files and Settings transfer after reinstalling all
applications.


NOTE : :

Even though XP will recognize most of the hardware and peripherals the clean install does NOT furnish all the latest drivers. Check The BOOT settings before you start Formatting the system .............

Thank U ..expecting The best regards..........

IMPLEMENT AS SAID :


Its a simple and easy technique to be followed to make XP run in a clean Boot..
If your computer is not starting normally, or if you receive errors when you start your computer that you cannot identify, you could consider performing a "clean boot." This operation starts the computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help you troubleshoot the problem.
This post narrates how to configure Windows XP to start by using a clean boot and then how to return Windows XP to a Normal startup type.

There are two methods to start Windows XP by using a clean boot:

• Method 1: Use the Guided Help
• Method 2: Manually starting XP with a clean boot (advanced user only)

Start with the first method. If it does not work and you are comfortable trying a more advanced method, try the second.

If the clean boot fixed the error, you do not have to perform this step.

NOTE :: Important If your problem is not fixed and you do have to follow this step, it permanently removes all restore points from your computer.
