Today President Obama celebrates his 49th birthday! I am sure he has a full agenda of activities but mostly I pray that he gets rest. It’s a difficult task to run the free world. We may not agree with all that is being done but what I mostly appreciate is that work is being done to change and better the American people. We are troopers til the end and although we have our differences this is what strengthens our bonds. This is what it means to be an American , Fortitude magnanimous fortitude.
August 4th, 2010 is a historical day in Kenyan history. As many Kenyans march to the polls to vote for the referendums of the Kenyan Constitution. The “YES” and “NO” campaigns are strongly campaigning to get their points across to the Kenyan people about passing the referendums of the Kenyan Constitution. This is an historical time for the Kenyan people.
As we all well know as Americans how important it is for our human rights to be protected from obliteration to injustice. As I think about what the Kenyan people are going through it reminds me of our time in history when the forefathers were faced with the same plight, the rights of the people. It is also so befitting that President Obama’s birthday is the day that Kenyans will be going to the polls to vote for their countries governing law. Being that he is of Kenyan decent, I am sure he will also be watching as he has stated his support verbally and monetarily to help with the passing of such a historical document in Kenyan history.
Join with me me to wish our President Happy Birthday and watch the polls as the Kenyan people march in to liberation.
A BARACK VIEW! Well it’s official President Barack Obama is scheduled to appear on “The View” this Thursday July 29th, 2010. His second appearance on “The View” was back when he was a US Senator running for the office of the President…
Just a little video that was taken on July 4th showing The President and the first lady spending time with the military families on July 4th. Kudos made me feel cuddly all over. Nice touch I enjoyed it and I wasn’t even there.
Now that the White House Christmas Tree is up it’s time for guest and the first would be Oprah for her Premiere Christmas show with the Obamas last night.
Oprah Winfrey’s Christmas Premier show last night was a nice break in the staunch regime of the white house schedule. Allowing Americans to come the the White House and share President and Firs Lady Obama’s first Christmas in the White House.
As I watched is was a refreshing change from the daily duties that are performed at the White House. Of course Bo was a pleasure he is just a well cared for animal and of course well loved. Being that it is my home I felt right at home and welcomed.
The best statement that I like was that President Obama stated that, “This is not the President’s and his families home rather it is the people’s home. He is just renting”
What moved me mos was the talk he had with Oprah about the Oval Room and how important it was and intense because it was were he signed and will sign many pieces of legislature. The most solemn was when he stated that he signs papers to let families know that their loved ones have been killed in battle in the war. I could see the pain and hurt. He hates this war and what it does to people and their lives. He would rather construct and build than destroy. He does realize that war is a part of maintaining and securing our freedom and liberties unfortunately but none the less he became very sadden when he spoke of this act that he performs of the Oval Room.
Of course you know that Oprah was going to ask about his feelings of the war and why he decided to send more troops. He was ready believe me he has been asked this and he is a reader of blogs, newspapers, etc to be up on the news as to what is going on can you say J.F. Kennedy he was the same way adamant about what was going on in the country.
President Obama stated what he did when he spoke to us about he decision a few weeks ago. That he disliked this and had a hard time coming to this decision but in the long run safety for the world he and our allies felt it was necessary for another 18 months to do what is needed to train the Afghanistan forces then get the heck out of Afghanistan.
While war is beckoning abroad there is a flicker of happiness, joy and thankfulness in the holidays.
