WHAT IS BUBBY 4 OBAMA?

Provocative, Wise, Fresh, Honest, Humorous, Different, Heartfelt

What else would you expect from your Bubby ?

For anyone who doesn’t know what a “Bubby” is: Bubby is the word grandmother in Yiddish. Yiddish is a language very similar to German, usually written in Hebrew characters, that was spoken chiefly by Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe and the places to which those Jews migrated.

I am the Bubby to three wonderful boys. They range in age from four to eighteen. The youngest will start school and the eldest will start college in the fall of this year.

What next ?

Hello Obama Supporters;

Every year for about the last thirty a very dear friend of mine hosts the “Largest” Halloween Party in Philadelphia with live music, dancing, food and fun. The ballroom fills with extraordinary people - gay, straight, or pan-sexual. With an atmosphere of creativity and fun my dear friend and local celebrity-host HENRI DAVID starts the costume parade at the stroke of midnight.
Ever year on the invitation there are the same words:

“Don’t come as you are. Come as you want to be”!

Well this year I wanted to be

“Bubby for Obama”!

For the first time in my adult life I have become involved in a political campaign. Why? Because I am not only a proud American woman, a proud parent, but a very proud grandparent, I am a “BUBBY”.

I come from Pennsylvania, West of Philadelphia, Chester County to be exact, in the past it has been a very old Republican base. I have made a strong personal effort, along with many others in my area, hoping that is all about to change. We must win “Pennsylvania for OBAMA”. I have made phone calls, knocked on doors, talked to everyone in the supermarket, dry cleaners, everywhere I go.

Having three grandsons I have, for the first time, viewed an election differently, asking myself one simple question: what do I want for their future, not mine? The answer: not McCain and surely not Palin!

I have lived with many Presidents, Senator McCain would just be another.
Senator Barak H. Obama will be a different type of President. He can lead this country into the 21st century. The United States of America is the Greatest Country there is but these are new times, different times. We must look to new ideas and young, bright, aggressive minds.

Let us remember the days of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s when, no matter where you lived, you had a safe neighborhood. Our schools were free and our education was good. For us to have that again we need to join hands and behave as friends, neighbors and community. We need to support our communities, each other, our children, and get involved and demand our government start and continue to work with us and for us. It will take all of us, a country united, not divided. This will not happen in a day, week, month or year but it can happen with the right leadership.

Please, for your children, grandchildren, parents and your own future well being: “VOTE OBAMA”

I was sorry that I missed Governor Ed Rendell when he stopped at the party or he would be in my picture with me, he was there.

That is how it all started !

Now it shall continue !
