Change We Can Believe In.

Torn_Rose

First of all, has anyone ever seen such a train wreck of a speech like the one John McCain gave? I mean holy cow, he was beyond fake, the crowd was beyond fake, and it was a terrible speech, it was full of “I’m Not George” but full of the same BS George has spewed for over 7 years. I for one am sick of “Fear” being used as a tool.

Hillary’s speech I think will back fire her and hurt her political career.

Obama’s speech was simply amazing… again… and again… and again.

His message of “Hope” far outweighs anything McCain can deliver, Mac is a true American hero and I will always respect him for that, but he is not the same man who should have won the GOP in 2000 and IMHO, I think he sold out which I will not forgive and cannot and will not support.

Obama will be the next POTUS, and for the first time in my life I see actual CHANGE coming, DC has become too corrupt to work and it needs to be tore down and built anew.

“We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness” – Thomas Jefferson

Indy awarded 2012 Super Bowl

Indianapolis has been awarded the 2012 Super Bowl, the fourth time a cold-weather city will host the NFL’s championship game.

The city was a runner-up last year to Dallas, but Tuesday beat out Houston and Arizona for the game, which will be played Feb. 5, 2012 for the championship of the 2011 season. Part of the bid includes a pledge by the city to build a practice facility downtown that will be left in place for local residents to use.

The next two Super Bowls are in Tampa and in South Florida.

Of the 42 Super Bowls, the three played indoors in cold-weather cities were in 1982 and 2006 in Detroit and 1992 in Minneapolis. Indianapolis also plays indoors.

How cool is this? Indy has come such a long way city wise and this proves it. I am sure Manning will be retired by this time, but hey, the Colts could still make it!

And FYI, the new stadium has a retractable roof, so it COULD be played outside…. yeah; Indy is real nice in February 😉
