13 days into 2010

I feel so sorry for Obama, it seems like he has to do everything himself. I must admit I don't remember any of his cabinet members, I know he has a wife and two kids, but that is about all.

The catastrophe in Haiti, he has to tell us about it. I would think he would have someone around him, maybe even the Ambassador to Haiti, someone, anyone, who would know enough about it to address the nation. Old Hussein has to do it all himself.

I have labeled him the "tennis talker." If you notice, and I don't see how you could not notice, his head goes from left to right, right to left. I have seen that same motion as people watch a tennis match.

The man must have an ego, so large, "how large is it" ..... I don't have a definitive answer for that yet. He must feel he is the only one competent enough to handle any situation that comes along.

I still have to wonder why he didn't take his wife on some of those junkets ...
One reason .................. I got this as an email .....

I was at a Blockbusters renting videos, and as I was going along the wall, there was a video called "Obama". There were two men next to me. We talked about Obama.
These guys were Arabs and I asked them why they thought Michele Obama headed home following her visit in France instead of traveling on to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband..

They told me she couldn't go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Iraq.

I said "Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia , Turkey and Dubai."

They said that Obama is a Muslim, and by Muslim law he would not be allowed to bring his wife into countries that accept Sharia Law.

I just thought it was interesting that two Arabs at Blockbusters accept the idea that we're being led by a Muslim who follows the Islamic creed.

They also said that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world.


Interesting comments.

I am at a point where I don't worry or contemplate the future. I think, right now, our country is a "runaway locomotive" that no one can stop. Being a occasion, elderly, I only look to tomorrow, or even getting through this day. I worry about the future for my children, grandchildren and great grandchilren's sake, but I am frustrated and feel there is nothing I can do about the future.

I miss the past, the spirit of the past. I remember the feeling that was going through the country during WWII, confident and optimistic, "when we rid the world of Hitler and Tojo." Not IF, WHEN.

Then Korea and the inevitable struggle with Russia, Viet Nam, everything that went on until this "age of terrorism." Now I only understand that there is a nation or two who want to see me dead. I remember the days when an American never went to a foreign country and they expected everyone to speak English.

I received a Christmas gift, I think purchased at Walmart, and the box and the instructions were printed in Spanish.

Speaking of Walmart, we shopped there yesterday. We have shopped there for about six years, and always felt we were getting a good product at the lowest price possible. We always felt we saved money shopping there ............ till yesterday. We noticed they were doing a lot more advertising .... their recent INCREASED prices are paying for those ads.

Could it be that we are being led by a leader who actually believes in the overthrow of this country?

Bring back FDR, the country needs him.
