President Obama and Me

Where in the World is D Today?

Reading the News and Being Reminded Why He Loves President Obama.

You may or may not know that I worked for the Obama Presidential campaign in Missouri last year. I walked many miles, knocked on lots of doors, and would talk to anybody in person who wanted to have a conversation about him. (I didn’t work the phones very much. I would rather walk around in the heat, cold and rain; Anything but phone banks.) Anyway…..

Every morning I check the World and U.S. news online. This morning I saw a rather silly story about the President’s smoking habit. Are you kidding me, you’re busting his chops over the occasional cigarette?! The man’s got a lot on his plate, let’s cut him some slack on the little stuff. I think Mrs. Obama will keep him inline about smoking. Then I stumbled on these two links that affirmed in me many of the reasons I love this man. Here are the links. (Sorry you have to copy and paste. I'm not tech smart enough to get the links to work.)

Did you read the even more ridiculous PETA response to Pres. Obama killing a fly that was buzzing around his face during an interview? They sent him a contraption to "catch the fly so he could release it instead of kill it." What's even worse is that the media reported this NONSENSE. *shaking head*

The First Family is one of THE BEST examples of class and intelligence that the White House has seen in a long time. I love the fact that the Rebooblicans and lower thinking ofays can't stand it! Yep, that's what I called them OFAYS!

Hey T,
The PETA thing even made the news here. It was a dang fly! OH and you should see this REALLY COOL bug zapper I have. Think about a traditional bug zapper you keep outside, but this one is shape like a small tennis racket. I is cheap entertainment. Interactive Bug Zapping. Say it with me, AWESOME!
