How will you remember?

Eloquent?
                         NO
Wise?
                         Beyond his years.

He knows the value of the men and women, of our country, of our legacy and respects it. If you were old enough to recall where you were and the moments after, you should recall that he drew us together as a nation and reminded us of our American PRIDE!!!! Where is that today, Mr. President?

I have read so many commentaries and responses from the people of America. Some do not understand, he didn't have any more control over the outcome and happenings than you and I do. I am frustrated with the ignorance of Americans. We have had our lives handed to us on silver platters compared to many across the world. Yes, I have been destitute and miserable, hungry and afraid...BUT, none of that could compare to what so many face around the world. The war, it was written ages ago. It was written by God. We, as Americans, can not stop this war. Go back and read the history of Islam and Israel.

The president is a 'puppet' for the Senate and Congress. They are the powers at be. What is funny... we decide who they are and what really happens, but as Americans we are so self oriented that we are too busy to take a serious look at who we are putting into office, in control of our futures. When I was working a local campaign, I stopped counting how many people said, "Oh, I don't pay attention to local government. It doesn't matter, it doesn't really make a difference. It's just popularity." This is a lie like none other. It's like having a child who won't listen that if they don't wear protective gear when they ride their skate boards, they are going to continue to skin their knees and get hurt.

I want to scream and shake the American people...

                                                          PEOPLE, WAKE-UP!!!
Stop complaining about how bad you have it. Get off your duff and do the research on who you are putting into office locally. They influence the ladder to the president. Even if you don't agree with my opinions... at least do research and make sure the people you are putting into office at least represent your ideals and your beliefs.
We are so blessed, amazingly blessed to be Americans. To have been given choices... why are we giving them away to people who have no idea what to do with them other than to take them away from us.

America...
                               Do we only recall our heritage on special days that we are called to remember, such as
                       December 7th
                                                    July 4th
                                                                                  Veterans Day
God help us... September 11th?

Each time elections approach I honestly get frustrated and angry at the laziness and self absorbency of our nation.

If you were BLESSED to be born here or even more BLESSED to come to this country then,
EMBRACE your freedoms and take that choice that you've been given and USE IT WISELY...
