Jimmy Carter Is Right On

I admire Jimmy Carter’s courage to speak out when it comes to the racist imagery and comments made towards Barack Obama. I think the White House wants to play it safe and not step on any toes, but honestly I think they should show Jimmy Carter’s comment more respect. Of course we know if they did it would open the flood gates, but I think Carter is right on about this. Kudos to Jimmy Carter for speaking up for human rights as he always does. I truly admire the man.

Being True To You

Being told I am one of a kind is an honor really. This man claims to have interest in me, but tells me how people are always busy with their personal lives. It is fine if he does not get back to me, but now I do not want him to get back to me. I want to get lost in my arts and crafts and blogging. I will never be the center of a man’s world, but I am glad to be the center of my family’s world.

Political Attacks Over Inspiration To Stay In School?

Political criticisms and attacks are taking on an even uglier dimension during the Obama administration. I did not agree with all the vile attacks under Bush, but I noticed that early on in his administration it was not this heated. There has been a very vocal opposition to Obama from the start, and looking around I see they are very strong about telling people what they think. They disparage the intelligent of anyone who is liberal, moderate, and especially those who voted for Obama. A popular thing to do has been to imply all sorts of nefarious things surrounding Obama’s advisors, but it is not kosher to bring up past administrations. There is a reason why I do, there have always been corrupt people in politics. However, this time around the Republicans and other neocons are more launching more of a vocal attack against Obama. It was a given that whoever came into office would have been questioned
