President Barack Obama is to speak to the school age children soon. I didn't realize how big a deal this was until yesterday. Is it like this everywhere? OK-so the White House messed up on some lesson plans and/or question--however COME ON. Other presidents have spoken in front of school kids while garble being hurled at them up until they did so.
I guess I don't really get it because President Obama, nor any of the former presidents, said to go start wild fires to burn up California or steal somebody's lunch's money--nope--just stay in school and do well--so I'm lost. Part of me wants to use the race card--because everything the President does is so scrutizined-which I've endured all my life. President Obama doesn't look like any of the others presidents on the schools' walls. Some folks still don't like that. Alas, I wonder how much those same folks wouldn't like if he sat in the White House and did so much less than he is now?
Even if some of the President's actions winde up being futile--at least he tried. He didn't get us in this mess--He's trying to get us out. The bad part is--it'll take awhile. And I'm impatient too--just like everybody else.
I also know folks (even tho I'm close too) mutter 'nigger' under their breath about President Barack Obama. They just don't know and possibly afraid of whatever eats them up. I'm sure of being compared to Hitler, socialist, and whatever else, 'nigger' is being used too. I'm kinda curious what folks hurled about the first Catholic president who announced man should land on the moon before decade's end. What they did call him? It's sad.
Yet I have faith as steps taken forward fall back.
The beauty is you can always move forward again.
Stay tuned.

Isn't it interesting that people are so universally ignorant? It seems to me that they live in fear, and have for so long that when someone tries to do something good for them it's automatically suspect.
I suppose it is sad, but mostly it just pisses me off, what with me not being a fan of people in the first place.
The commercials I've seen regarding health care speak to the fear-mongering that apparently works with most people.
They LOVED your neighbor, the war criminal, but this guy...well all they can think to do is call him names.
Shameful.
