Mieszkając w USA od 40 lat mam więcej do stracenia niż Wy, drodzy złotówkowi krajanie, obawiający się zainstalowaniem czekoladowego komunisty w Białym Domu. Jestem Amerykaninem zamożnym, w górnym pułapie amerykańskich zarobków, a jednak, ja sam,kiedyś zawzięty Republikanin,głosowałem dziś na Obama. Mój wybór był głosem sprzeciwu i jedyną alternatywą. Wybór MacCain’a byłby kontynuacją dotychczasowej polityki G.W. Busha.
Tak zwane rządy konserwatywnych Republikanów i Neo-Konserwatystów wcale nie były konserwatywne. Wydawano obłędne sumy pieniędzy na obłędne wojny, których nie można wygrać. Zapożyczono się u Chińczyków i innych Azjatów do szczytu możliwości.
(Chicago) — The Honorable Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, sailed passed other contenders and solidly won re-election to a third term in office, garnering 68% of the votes cast in last night’s election.
Disregarding the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times’ endorsements of her opponents, more than 1.2 million people voted to return Clerk Brown to office.
“Obviously the citizens of Cook County are more aware of the progress that has been made at the Clerk’s Office during my tenure, than are these newspapers, neither of which interviewed me nor conducted any fact-finding by visiting the Office,” said Clerk Brown.

During her election night celebration, Clerk Brown leads applause for Obama win
(Chicago) — The Honorable Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, hosted a victory party last night, as election returns indicated her solid re-election to a third term, and she shared her elation about the prospect of Illinois Senator Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States.
“This is his day,” Clerk Brown said to her cheering supporters, regarding Obama. “But it is our time!”
Clerk Brown spoke emotionally about the fact that President Elect Obama carries the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all the individuals who have come before—especially the descendents of African slaves and poor black, Southern sharecroppers, the murdered civil rights workers and hoards of tireless marchers and demonstrators—who valiantly struggled for equal opportunity in America over the course of hundreds of years. She also spoke of her deceased mother and father, both of whom she said, “faced discrimination courageously and literally worked themselves to death, so that their eight children could have a better life.”

To fill President-Elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat, Governor will use deliberate process to select suitable replacement
CHICAGO – After congratulating President-Elect Barack Obama on his decisive victory, Governor Rod R. Blagojevich announced today that he will take his time and use a diverse senior staff made up of key members of his administration who will assist him in selecting a suitable replacement for Obama.
“Last night’s victory was bittersweet for Illinois – as we gain a great President, we lose a great Senator. And it goes without saying that our next Senator has big shoes to fill. Because it’s important that the best person for Illinois is selected, I want to be clear that the calendar won’t dictate our search. Instead, I want to ensure that Obama’s successor will understand and fight for the needs of average Illinoisans,” Governor Blagojevich said.
Chicago celebruje fenomenalne zwycięstwo naszego senatora Baracka Obamy w wyścigu o fotel prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych.
Senator Barack Obama mieszka i reprezentuje Chicago i stan Illinois, gdzie mieszkamy. Znamy go dosyć dobrze.
We wtorkowychwyborach Sen. Obama oddał swój głos w Chicago. Senator z Illinois głosował rano w komisji wyborczej w szkole podstawowej Shoesmith Elementary w dzielnicy Hyde Park, w pobliżu Uniwersytetu Chicago. Towarzyszyły mu żona Michelle oraz córki Malia i Sasha.
Z częściowych wyników wyborów prezydenckich w USA, ogłoszonych w USA wynika, że 44. prezydentem (elektem) USA jest reprezentujący Partię Demokratyczną Barack Obama. To historyczny moment w dziejach Ameryki. Po raz pierwszy bowiem najwyższy urząd w państwie obejmie czarnoskóry Amerykanin.

October 29, 2008
Mr. Frank Spula President Polish American Congress 1612 K Street, NW Suite 410 Washington, DC20006
Dear Mr. Spula,
I share your concern about Poland’s exclusion from the U.S. visa waiver program. Poland is not only a steadfast and valued ally of the United States, we have the potential of growing to be much closer partners than we are now. Requiring visas from Poles seeking to travel here is inconsistent with our current relationship, not to mention the deeper and broader relationship we must work together to foster. I support the inclusion of Poland in the visa waiver program and will make it a top priority of my administration to make it happen.
