*** * REFLECTIONS: To soon to be President Barack Obama, welcome to my birthplace, my source of employment, the birthplace of my child and my home with my wife Lynn, Flint Michigan USA. We are a strong smart town that has fallen on hard times. Hard times not of our sole doing. See , we were at one time part of that basket of hope that created the middle class in America. We are the birthplace of General Motors and have a strong history and shed tears and blood for the industrialization of America.. But you, and I say you because you are in Congress , allowed globalization without protecting the middle class worker in America. So here in Flint MI USA today 6/16/08 please tell the unemployed worker how your presidency will benefit him or her. We are your friend and we are desperate for leadership-Terry Bankert 6/16/08 , http://attorneybankert.com/ ****

WHEN PRESIDENT , BARACK OBAMA IF YOU CAN HELP TURN AROUND FLINT MI USA .....YOU WILL HAVE HELPED THE COUNTRY!

"Here in Flint, the devastating effects of eight years of George Bush have hit close to home. The people of Flint can't afford John McCain's promise of four more years of failed economic policies that are setting back our ability to compete in the 21st century," [ml]

SPEECH LIVE ON THE INTERNET The Flint Journal's Web site will broadcast Obama's Flint speech live. Check it out Monday at mlive.com/flintjournal. http://www.mlive.com/flintjournal/

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE OBAMA TSUNAMI The road to the White House doesn't necessarily run through Flint, but it's a natural side trip for any Democrat who preaches economic recovery for the middle class.[f]

WE ARE MICHIGAN..... Politically, Kildee said, Flint is a Democratic hub of the so-called I-75 corridor from Detroit to Bay City. That makes it important for a Democratic presidential candidate, though nominee John Kerry didn't visit Flint in the 2004 presidential race.[f]

WE HAVE GOT MIKEE...... Flint gained international notoriety in filmmaker and Flint-area native Michael Moore's 1989 documentary "Roger and Me," which cast Flint as an emblem of industrial decline.[f]

MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT, GET EVERY NEW VOTE YOU/WE CAN... There are many in the world of politics and punditry who believe an Obama victory in the fall is a foregone conclusion. A piece in Politico Sunday even quoted historians noting due to the mood of the country and unpopularity of a two-term president McCain has a low statistical chance of winning. All of this comes despite the fact national polls have McCain and Obama in a dead heat. These are all the same pundits who also wrote McCain off as a dead and gone in the GOP primary a little less than a year ago. Now look at him.[n]


THE FLINT VISIT AND OTHER SIDE TRIPS CAN WIN THE ELECTION Barack Obama will take that side trip on the way to a large rally at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit later today. He'll hold a small rally at 11:45 this morning at Flint's Kettering University, a top-rated engineering school (formerly General Motors Institute) that churns out brainpower amid the city's industrial decline.[f]

OBAMA MUST CAMPAIGN EVERYWHERE If Obama wants to win hearts and minds in places like Tennessee,...[AND Flint MI-trb],... he has to come here and campaign in earnest. That has not happened yet.[n]

KILDEE MUST HAVE BOOTED DUNCAN OUT OF THE CHAIRMANSHIP Obama's message surely will focus on economic issues, said Genesee County Democratic Party Chairman Dan Kildee. The number of Flint-area automotive workers fell from 79,000 in 1976 to around 12,000 now, he said.[f] Dan Kildee is not the chairperson of the Genesee County Democratic Party, Ronald Duncan is, but Kildee is a better spokesperson.[-trb]

OBAMA WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HELP US REPOSITION? "Access to higher education in the knowledge economy is part of Obama's message," Kildee said. "You have a city that's part of the old economy and needs to reposition itself for the next generation of jobs.[f] "There's a lot of hope that with Obama, we can have an industrial policy that embraces the new economy."[F]

MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT IF YOU WANT TO TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND George Bush was a come from behind candidate given little chance in the beginning.[trb] Obama cannot take any state for granted nor any demographic group or issue group ( like the unemployed).[trb]

NEW BATTLE GROUND STATES ARE EMERGING Maine is looking more like a battleground state as John McCain and Barack Obama court independent voters and chase every last electoral vote in their respective quests for the White House.[m] Obama announced in May that he would have a state director and campaign organization in all 50 states. His campaign also has a "handful of staffers in Maine working on the Vote for Change Voter registration drive," which the campaign launched last month, said Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage.[m]

THINGS CAN CHANGE FAST, LEADERS TO LOSERS, CHANGE TO ENTRENCHMENT..WINNING A PRESIDENCY IS A BATTLE If Democrats want a more personal example of how events can turn for those in power, it wasn’t that long ago that President George W. Bush engineered something no president had accomplished in decades. With the help of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, the Bush White House managed to make off-year election gains in the House and Senate in 2002 — just two years after he took the presidency with the help of the U.S. Supreme Court.[n] The mantra for Democrats after the Florida recounts in 2000 became “every vote counts.”.[n] Obama is expected to lay out his agenda for how to create the good-paying jobs of the future and how to ensure that America can compete and succeed in the global economy, said Amy Brundage, an Obama spokeswoman.[ml]

OUR FURTURE WILL BE CAST BY THE RESULTS OF THE NEXT ELECTED PRESIDENCY. I AM WORKING FOR OBAMA. What will you do today to help your country?[trb] —end
