Obama Royale Project , in St.Louis.  Some of the many posters we created from the Shepard Fairy image. Be sure to watch the video.  We brush painted over 50 of these so far. Do ya think people in the McCain camp are doing similiar things?  Hell no.
We  also plan a "how to video" soon.... ( Don't ya just loves the "Deady Bears")

These are a few of the " 50 Obama's" that we are producing for  the St.Louis area.

I had not seen this posted, and it is interesting to say the least. John McCain was in St. Louis Wednesday and I am happy to say not all reporters are enamored with John McCain's press operation.

Now sit down, cause the local St. Louis Fox affiliate posted this video (under the fold) of the awkward, testy exchange between a McCain's senior press aides--Brooke Buchanan, the national press secretary, and Nicolle Wallace, the former White House communications director.

In a nutshell the media outlets were told that McCain could only be shot from the left side, not to show his scare from cancer surgery and there had to be some sort of "patriotic" image in the background. Well, they didn't like being micro managed like this.

"I think there was an attempt by somebody in your staff to take a look at the shot, and I have never, ever had anybody at any organization ..."

"Really? You've never done anything at the White House? I was at the White House for seven years and we looked at every shot," the McCain staffer pushed back. "Not at our shots," while his colleague asked Wallace, "Which White House?" She refused to answer, saying it didn't matter. He replied, "Oh yes it does!"

I just met Rep. John "Foleygate enabler" Shimkus' sister this evening and you'll never guess where ....

This is emotional, so give me a little break.

I've written about Katrina here. I've bitched about the lack of coverage. Heck I've yelled about it. Now where I live is literally drowning. I don't mean from a "kind of you know like it is wet," I mean literally!

Time and time again here we talk 24/7 about who will be Obama's VP. What does McCain's medical records show? Did Hillary blow her nose on a napkin with a US flag on it (I made that one up).

I will with this first picture and an few more below (all Cedar Rapids, Iowa), hopefully let you know some bad stuff is ongoing and we could use some attention.

Another levee just broke in Lincoln County, Missouri. Updates can be found on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website.

LINCOLN COUNTY, Mo. -- Floodwaters have breached another Lincoln County levee this afternoon.

The latest breach happened about 1:30 p.m. directly northeast of Winfield at the end of Highway M. The breach is about 40 feet wide and water is now flowing toward Winfield's secondary levee where sandbagging efforts are continuing.

POWER FROM THE PEOPLE FUELS THIS EXCITING CAMPAIGN... COME ABOARD!

In the 1800s immigrants from Germany and other mid-European countries flocked to cities like Cincinnatti, Detroit, Milwaukee and St. Louis.  They built many things including built great breweries, like Blatz, Miller, Schlitz, Pabst, Falstaff and a thousand lesser ones.  The greatest brewery of them all was Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis.  I went to high school just 10 blocks from the 100 square block Busch brewery complex in St. Louis.  If the breeze was just right, the smell of hops would blow in and engulf our classroom.  It was a reassuring smell.  It meant union jobs at solid middle class wages with great benefits that had been won thanks to strong unions and a paternalistic management.  Anheuser-Busch, then & now, was the cornerstone of St. Louis.

I went down to St. Louis' Barnes-Jewish Hospital today to see a press conference with Barack Obama. He made the rounds with a young nurse early this morning as part of a commitment to spend time on the campaign trail with Americans all over the country as they go about their daily routine, and afterwards held a brief press conference where he contrasted his health care plan with John McCain's.

POWER FROM THE PEOPLE FUELS THIS EXCITING CAMPAIGN... COME ABOARD!

My name is Matt Adler and I'm a student at Washington University in St. Louis recently elected to be the sole male Barack Obama pledged delegate from Missouri's fightin' 3rd CD.  I ran to give youth voters a voice in the process, and am excited to see that the work my friends and I put in sending out letters, making phonecalls, and leafleting the caucus convinced other delegates that we deserve a seat at the table!  I'm working with other young delegates and elected officials to make the convention a launching point for a movement to get more young people elected to office.  It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capitalize on this election's incredibly energy and organize a new generation of progressive leaders.  But I need your creativity to get there!

LAST DAY IN REPORTING PERIOD TO JOIN THIS EXCITING CAMPAIGN... COME ABOARD!

"To give youth voters a voice"

I am a senior at Washington University in St. Louis running to become a pledged delegate for Barack Obama to the Democratic National Convention because we deserve a voice at the table. The 75,000 votes of people aged 18-29 helped Senator Obama carry Missouri on Super Tuesday, where we won by a mere 10,000 votes. We've worked hard and we want to be heard.
