OBAMA WAS ON JIMMY KIMMEL TONIGHT.. I SAW THE ORIGINAL AIRING.. BARACK OBAMA IS FN BRILLIANT~

BARACK IS OFFICIALLY THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THIS MIGHT END UP BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON EVER BORN~ THE WORLD WILL EITHER GET A LOT BETTER OR IT WILL FALL APART & THE OZONE OR BOMBS WILL KILL US~

THIS IS FROM A CHINA NEWSPAPER. MY BLOG COULD FOCUS ON WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES THINK OF US.. HMMM..


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Hope is one thing, the reality is another. On Tuesday, about 2 million people gathered in Washington D.C. to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama as new U.S, president, hoping he will save the economy, but the Wall Street plunged more than 4 percent in New York.

In his address just after taking the swearing-in oath, Obama admitted that the U.S. was "in the midst of crisis is now well understood," listing war, economy, healthcare, home foreclosures, jobs, energy and other challenges.

"Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age," said the new president.

But Obama assured Americans that although "the challenges we face are real, serious many," and "will not be met easily or in a short span of time," America's goals "will be met."

The new president's words were echoed by Dean Glenn, an entrepreneur from Virginia, who told Xinhua that he is optimistic and believes Obama will save the economy and be great leader.

He said: "The economic crisis is a tough problem, it require some smart person to figure it out, I think he is surrounded himself with some very smart persons."

Glenn, who had never been to inauguration before, said: "Today is a day we look forward to for long time," adding that he believes Obama will bring changes to the U.S.. "We will have a new spirit of cooperation, hopefully a respect of the world."

Witnessing Obama was sworn in as the 44th U.S. president, the first black president in America's history, hundreds of thousands of people, like Glenn, erupted in roars of approval, and cheered in the same tone: "Obama, Obama!"

A recent national poll also showed that Obama's approval rating had risen to nearly 80 percent, revealing people's satisfaction with his work in the transition of power, establishment of his cabinet, as well as high expectations of his administration after Jan. 20.

"I think he (Obama) is going to do a magnificent job, he has several teams that would change the nation," said David S. TorainII, head of Mathematics department of Hampton University, who joined the jubilation near the Washington Monument, which stands at the central of the National Mall.

As for the economy, however, he seemed to be not so optimistic. Inheriting a series of economic problems on a scale not seen since the Great Depression, Obama will have a hard time reviving the nation's sagging economy, he noted.

"It might took long time to get out of the meltdown. I don't think anybody can turn around in next 6 months," he told Xinhua.

But he believed that Obama would help improve the situation. "I think he will be the greatest president since John F. Kennedy, he has great ideas, let's wait and see what happens," he said.

But the Wall Street cannot wait. The U.S. stock market plunged more than 4 percent on Inauguration Day Tuesday as bank woes spread while investors failed to find confidence from President Barack Obama's inauguration speech.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 330 points, or 4 percent, falling below 8,000 for the first time in 2009, while the Standard & Poor's 500 and the Nasdaq indexes dropped more than 5 percent.

News Analysis: Inheriting recession, Obama faces tough economic challenge

Even before his presidency begins, Obama has been written into history for his unique power in the presidential campaign to inspire and energize millions of Americans to congregate under his banner of "changes we believe." Full story

Feature: Well-wishers at Philadelphia station hope Obama to help realize dreams

30TH STREET STATION, Philadelphia, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- While U.S. President-elect Barack Obama was delivering a speech in a tightly-guarded conference room inside the spacious main hall of the 30th Street Station of Philadelphia, many well-wishers barred from entry were expressing their hopes and aspirations in the chilly weather outside.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST??!

There are simple samples of what this amazing artist can do. I stumbled upon it by accident, so I will have to go and find out where he is at again, but he is one of a kind and I am going to ask him if he would do the Artwork for my Album~

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!!


He has a huge Catalog of Work / Art that is simply stunning and he has very clever names and subjects for his work. For these 4 - From Top Left to the Right- He decided upon:

OIL PLANET

IDIOCITY

COMMUNION

& TOUCH (B,Left)

There is so much that be said about the detail and passion that the Artist from Brazil creates with.. Definitely one of the most powerful Designers / Painters / Graphix / Artist I Have Seen In A Long Time, It Is Like Melting Air Created This Brilliant Young Man using Different Perceptions Of Reality For Sure, But Probably Something Like: Salvador Dali Meets Thom Yorke Whom Meets Todd McFarlane While Meeting Zhang Yimou And Ultimately Coming Out Of It As A Whole New Creature By Design..

WHEN IT COMES TO RELEASING AN ALBUM, DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION IS VERY SMART, BUT WHO IS THE BEST: CDBABY? TUNECORE? CREATESPACE? CATAPULT? DITTO MUSIC?

WHEN IT COMES TO RELEASING AN ALBUM, DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION IS VERY SMART, BUT WHO IS THE BEST: CDBABY? TUNECORE? CREATESPACE? CATAPULT? DITTO MUSIC?

After spending 9 Hours and 42 Minutes READING + READING + COMPARING + SEARCHING + READING: I am leaning towards the UK Based DITTO MUSIC right now..

There are so many different factors to take into the ultimate decision, but Ditto offer some very cool features with their package.

I guess time will tell, but I am about finished with everything and considering the fact that I need to send in the ALBUM (With Artwork + UPC Code So That It Can Be At The Very Bottom Of The Charts) at least 6-8 weeks before hand so that everything can be Tracked & Sold Flawlessly By The Release Date~

It takes even more time (up to a couple of months) to get on all the different services that will carry and sell my CD mainly iTUNES Which Accounted For 800 Million of the 1.2 Billion Dollars In Digital Sales.

If I Am Lucky, I Can Have Everything In Place To Actually Have Success With This First Offering And If That Is The Case = I WILL BE HAPPY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS~

If I Had A FILTHY RICH UNCLE WHO NEVER GOT OLD, ME AND HIM COULD PROBABLY CONQUER THE WORLD.

BOTTOM LINE IS: PEOPLE BUY $2000 KIRBY VACUUM CLEANERS EVERY DAY FROM PEOPLE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR <------ I WOULD KNOW, I QUIT AFTER HALF A DAY BECAUSE THE CRAZY LADY WAS MEAN TO THE OLD LADY WHO WOULDN'T BUY THE RIDICULOUS VACUUM AFTER SHE SAID FROM THE FIRST SECOND THAT SHE WOULD NOT BUY IT~!!!!!!! I Also Listened To An Interview From The Dude On LIVE OFF BEATS - IT WAS AT LEAST AN HOUR LONG, BUT VERY COOL OF THE PRODUCER TO TAKE THE TIME TO DO THAT AND ANSWER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS..
