Intellectual and political journeys of an eccentric artist living in paradise with lots of creative ideas, and a hundred opinions.
Some of which matter.
I am so glad this man is not tired. And I would like everyone (worldwide) to see this speech.
One of the things that I like about Obama is that he is not afraid to interact with people. He does not stay behind the desk in the Oval Office and 'dictate' - he presses the flesh and makes himself accessible which in this day and age is essential - not only to interact with other leaders but the man on the ground who wonders if he will still have a job by the end of the year.
Sorry I've been neglectful and not come here to visit for a while. I also haven't written much on my blog of late, but I'm trying to get back to that now. Anyway, I just wanted to say that it slays me how these right wingers are so ready to shoot down Obama for what they got us into in the first place. It was their failed policies that caused the financial crisis, it was their willingness to buy false intelligence that got us into the mess in Iraq and it wa their taking their eye off the ball that allowed the Taliban to become resurgent in Afghanistan. And they have the chutzpah to criticize Obama for all the crap they got us into in the first place? Oh, puh-LEEZ. Good speech, Mr. President! You go take brooms to those critics and tell them to help you clean up the mess they made instead of standing around criticizing how everyone else is trying so hard to do so.

Let no one forget - 'yes we can'.
People certainly have selective memories..with this statement I do agree.
