Herman Cain, inspiring us to get out the vote! What a wonderful, inspiring speaker. The crowd cheered when he said that he might get crazy and decide to run for President - who knows! He would be terrific!

MOSCOW Nearly 2,000 people gathered in central Moscow on Sunday demanding freedom of assembly in a rare sanctioned rally.
The Russian opposition protests on the 31st day of each month are a nod to the 31st Article of the Russian constitution, which guarantees the right of assembly. [Still, to stand up for freedom in Russia is a risky and wonderful thing.]

The United States gave $151.3 million in foreign aid to Tanzania in 2006, $100 million of which was for HIV/AIDS initiatives. [And yet Obama just said that we Republicans don't give money for AIDS, right?] http://www.cfr.org/publication/15489/president_bush_travels_to_africa.html

Nov 29, 2007 ... #2 posted by flickersticks , November 29, 2007 10:30 AM ... This needless duplication of security effort costs money, after all -- Republicans need to learn that money ... So a three day international trip is $3M give or take a few million. .... I saw his motorcade go by (in the US) a few years ago. ... [I am posting this comparison because I was asked to put Obama's India trip into perspective. This is really the only thing I could come up with on Google, and I invite my readers to add more perspective to Obama's trip, as well as Michelle's trip to Spain. I can see that in 2007 the amount of 1 million per day was considered to be outrageous. I think the request to compare is a fair and valid request.... so do help me out here if you can.]
