I’m disappointed in President Obama and his organizations plans for his second inaugural. I can understand the pomp and ceremony for his first inaugural celebration, but not the extravagant plans for his second. His finance team is offering corporations and other institutions some major goodies if they contribute a million bucks to help play Continue reading Obama’s Inaugural This old world continues to be assaulted by the little minds of man. Syria’s beleaguered President Bashar al-Assad may be thinking of using chemical weapons upon his people. Evidence of chemical weapon movement has been detected. President Obama warned Assad that the world is watching and he would be held accountable. I’m not sure Continue reading Unbeliveable So some in Texas and in other states want to secede from the Union of the United States. They don’t like the fact that President Obama was reelected. Over a hundred thousand of Texas malcontents have signed a petition to secede. Do they have any ideal of what that means and the subsequent consequences? Continue reading Texas I’m still getting anti-President Obama emails from well-meaning friends. I have asked them not to send me these Internet generated pieces of prejudice and false statements filled with rumor, innuendo and disrespectful diatribes, but despite asking I still get them. I also get anti-Romney falsehoods and I feel the same way about them. When Continue reading Lies, Slander and Rumor Here we go again! Some former CIA and special ops personnel are saluting the republican banner of Romney and Ryan. Frankly I think a former association in the active military on high secret missions should be on a code of political silence for at least one term of a President. A political advertisement repeats Continue reading Negative Advertisments President Obama has announced his support of same-sex marriage. He will no doubt benefit from the gay community and the ultra conservatives and religious right will disdain him, but he wasn’t getting their support anyway. So be it! It is time in our expanding democracy for each of us to look lovingly and non-judgmentally Continue reading Gay Marriage It seems that Rick Santorum is now the arbiter of what people believe. Mr. Santorum suggested that President Obama’s agenda is a phony theology, not based on the bible. When asked about his statement at a news conference later, Santorum said, if the President says he’s a Christian, he’s a Christian, but he did Continue reading Santorum’s Divide The uproar and passionate controversy over the Obama administration’s healthcare requirement for all employers to provide birth control to their employees including those institutions owned and operated by the Catholic Church was a needless confrontation. Somebody didn’t think it through. Much of the contentious and political banter could have been avoided. The compromise solution Continue reading Contraceptives and Controversy As I write this post I’m listening to President Obama’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. I listened to a number of good ideas from the President that any American would and should embrace with compromise, yet I see little or no reaction from the republicans in applause or Continue reading State of the Union |

More on the Innauguration
This week is one of those times in each of our lives that we will remember with specific detail and visceral emotion. The inauguration of a President is significant enough, but when he or she continues to be a first then it becomes a lasting special.
The world continues to watch, that much we
