Yo Mamma for Obama

I didn’t want to talk politics but I feel compelled to today. Clinton wins Pennsylvania. How is that possible? She was down going into it and all of a sudden she comes out the winner. Crazy. I knew from the last debate that Obama was in trouble. The media really zinged him. Hillary had a bunch of softball questions thrown at her. They were throwing heat at Obama. They put Mariano Rivera on the mound for him. They attacked him for people he knew. Now tell me what public figure doesn’t occasionally meet up with some unsavory people. Since the primary began they attacked his name, his age, his family and his record as a senator. You talk about playing dirty. I think old slick Bill was calling in favors for his wife. You know he wants to get back into the limelight. But through it all Obama stuck thru it and answered all the attacks openly and honestly. It seemed like he got better through the whole thing. I have to hand it to him even if he doesn’t win I have to commend him for the way he handled himself. I compare the primary to a job interview and compared to Hillary I would definitely hire Obama. Another thing I like about him is the way he ran his campaign. There wasn’t much sucker punches or mud slinging. He based his run on facts and how he thinks this country is ready for a change. I think that is true. Most of us are ready for some type of change. The republican war machine ran this country into the ground. Four bucks for gas. Home foreclosures at an all time high. People can’t even afford the basic necessities. The gap between the rich and poor is widening. The middle class is gone. People’s dreams are being destroyed. But yet the republicans are sitting back watching the democrats fight it out with no clear cut winner with only a few months to go. Back to Hillary. Did people forget that old slick Bill was out hoeing around? How can we really trust our country to a woman that can’t even hold her own house together? I think any woman that can run a household can run a country. She couldn’t even do that but people are ready to put her in office. And foreign diplomacy will be shot if she gets in. Men in other countries just don’t respect woman in power. So again in another election the best man will not win. The best of the bunch is Obama. He still has a chance but I think the powers that be will still take a woman over a black man. And remember she got old slick Bill working behind the scene. Another election I will be forced to vote for the lesser of two evils. And if Obama is not in. I think I will be voting republican because I don’t think Hillary is qualified for the job. She is just running on the Clinton name…………..

A Question

A friend of mine asked why I put such an arrogant statement on the title of my blog. I write because I can. I think I can. It’s always been a passion in my life. And as I got older I decided to follow at least one of the things that bring me joy. I’m sure some of us when we were younger always wanted to do something that we were passionate about. Then of course life got in the way. Why can’t we go back and ignite our passion. Since I started this up again I have an inner sense of fulfillment. When I see people reply or when some of my friends shout me out and tell me what a good job I’m doing it brings on a personal satisfaction. Are we to busy and wrapped up in our lives to do something that gives us that satisfaction? I wasn’t and to see all the hits I’m getting I’m satisfied and I will continue to write. What dreams did you stop chasing? I challenge you to step out in faith and try just try to relive them. There is more to life than life.
