With the exception of his Health Care Reform, Obama has done all the can at this point to undo Bush's manhandling of America's domestic issues. Or should I say non-handling. The Republicans would have us believe that our present condition has nothing to do with Bush, but now is Obama's screw-up. ...

Or is it? How often do we hear candidates for political office promise changes in the current system? Why do we vote for a person who at best will be a junior Senator or Congressman who has no influence or power to change anything? Is there a "best" candidate to vote for who says he's going to bring change? I don't believe that for a second...

I'm sure that the proposed site to build a mosque/cultural center near the site of the 9/11 tragedy is on many minds these days. The Koran apparently promotes the building of a mosque at the site of a Muslim victory over an "infidel" enemy.

This might not be politically correct or even political in nature at all, but it's something that I need to get off my chest, and maybe educate some who may be guilty. Recently, there have been a couple of little girls(7ish) that have come up to me when I'm sitting outside my apartment with my little dog, and one of them asked me if she could walk her on a couple of occasions. ...

It amazes me that the "right" continues to equate Obama's actions or in-actions to Bush's foopahs. According to some, the BP spill is said to be Obama's Katrina. How foolish. Bush's lack of action along with Fema, cost lives. The repair of the oil spill source has been in the hands of whom it should be, BP. ...
