"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".  These words were laid down for us long ago by the founding fathers. Let us not forget them.

It's A New Day

Post Election

We have witnessed one of the most historic moments of our lives. The election of an African American to the office of President of the United States of America. America has done the right thing! We elected the best candidate not because he was or was not black, but in spite of it, because it did not matter. We elected hope. We elected ideas. We elected change. The world is watching. People all over the world sit and wait to see what we will do next, what our new President will do first. We have a chance to once again lead the free world and do it by example. We once again are that last beacon where anything is possible. Yes We Can!

Unfit To Lead

Say What?????

The Hour Is Late, Our Enemies Watch

Watching John McCain today in Pennsylvania, he said "My friends, the hour is late, our enemies watch"! Who is he talking about? Al-qaeda, Democrats, The middle class, who? Have you ever seen the movie Manchurian Candidate, hmmmmm...
At this same rally today, John McCain told a story he was very proud of. He told of his mother who is 90+ years old going to Paris. She tried to rent a car once there so she could drive around. She was informed that she was too old. She then left and went to an automobile dealership and purchased a car and drove around anyway. Does this represent any of you? First of all, she was too old to drive but did it anyway, not the way a guest should behave in someone else's country. Second, it demonstrates how out of touch John McCain is if he thinks that that resonates with anyone other that someone of wealth and or power.
Finally, after watching the final presidential debate, I think John McCain did much better with his base but most people I think, saw an angry old man. He was not able to sit still in his chair and at times looked like he was seething. His childish facial expressions reminded me of my twelve year old. If he is not capable of sitting down and discussing the issues with Barack Obama, then how will he be able to sit down with leaders of other countries that we disagree with? Oh, that's right! He wont!

Mcpain & Failin

With all of the problems facing our nation today, the Mcpain/Failin campaign is up to their old tricks again. The idea is to "turn the page on the economy" and focus on ways to slight Barack Obama's character. I think it is funny that every time the Republicans try it this time, they fall back in it. We have simply had enough! No slight of hand, no mysterious person behind the curtain...just the facts. According to factcheck.org, John McCain did defend Keating and his cronies in the S&L debacle of the 1980's. He was scolded by the Senate for his poor judgement then, and now where are we? We are in a bigger banking mess than we were then and John McCain thinks he is the "maverick" with the answers. He honestly makes me sick to my stomach. To quote a Republican Congressman on CNN yesterday, "If 'Republican' were a brand of dog food, they would take it off the shelves".
