President Barack Obama; Prince Among Men? No A Man Among Men

It never fails to impress my wife how feeling Barack Obama is.

You know it impresses me. But my wife’s comments are especially telling and especially true.

I came in from the back yard today to the news about Sandy Hook. She said,

“You should have seen the President commenting about the shooting; he had tears running down his face as he spoke about it.”

I said I wasn’t surprised. She said,

“I know but it never ceases to amaze me that he is willing to show his feelings to the public; you can tell he’s sincere. I have never seen a President actually shed tears like he has. Even when 9/11 happened; George W. Bush never showed any real emotion. What sadness he did show always seemed put on; as though he really didn’t care. But you can see and feel that Obama really cares and really grieves about these people.”

I said she was right although I think I remember Bill Clinton showing such emotions a time or two as well, Barack Obama is far and away the most decent, caring president we have ever had. She said,

“Yes he is; and he is the only one who openly talks about his children all the time. He always seems to mention his kids and his wife and how much he loves and cares for them. That really says something good about him to me. Any man who speaks the way he does; cries in public when horrible things happen to Americans and talks about his family as he does; is a good man. he’s not afraid to show his emotions or afraid he will be laughed at or made fun of and that says that he really cares and is really concerned.”

I of course agreed with her completely.

It is hard to understand how anyone could fail to be impressed by this President and I defy anyone to say that he is not sincere. As I have often said; I don’t agree with him about everything he has done or will do no doubt but he is the only human being we have had as President in many years. I can look in his eyes and see real concern; anger; pride; happiness; grief and love; not a dead pool of dark purpose and unfeeling pretence that I have seen in the eyes of most Presidents before.

Others that I respect for this are Jimmy Carter and as I said Bill Clinton. Why is it always democrats? Because though they don’t always agree with me and don’t always go as far as i would like; Democrats have a record of working for the people rather than for the Banks etc.

Their policies are those of a party who really wants to make America a better place for the common person and not just the wealthy.

Barrack Obama is the champion though. He never fails to seem real and we love this man. We both agree that he is the only president we would feel comfortable inviting for dinner. The only one we could talk to like I talk to you. The only one who wouldn’t look down his nose at our humble accommodations.

This is a really good man. Not perfect of course lest you think I can’t see reality clearly; but a really good man and one I can respect. One I can care about. One I can love as I did my brother. One who inspires that love in others. I can give a guy like him a lot of slack when I don’t agree with him because I truly feel he is using all his heart and mind in his decisions.

Thank You Mr. President for caring; for feeling; for being open and sincere with us and for taking a stand for what is right for all Americans.

 

 

Petition To Senators And Congressmen To Ban Assault Weapons

This is the link to the petition. If we all stand together; we will not fall. Please click and sign the petition to end this unconscienable madness of blood and the slaughter of our children.

We must begin the national discussion of what to keep and bear arms means; what our reasons for keeping weapons are and what types of weapons are appropriate for such uses.

Yes we have the right to own weapons but should we own the type of weapons that allow for such suffering and death as we have seen this past few days?

Here is the link; Please sign this petition.

When the Westboro Baptist “Church” picketed the funerals of American soldiers who had died in battle, I thought it was in extremely bad taste.

Monsters Used To Come Out Of The Forest.

In Fairytales; monsters came out of the forest and ate little children while they were mischieviously playing alone; away from their protectors.

Yesterday in Newtown, Connecticut, the Monster came right into the school where our children were supposed to be safe; right into the place where their protectors were with them.

None of these protectors were able to do anyting to stop this Monster from slaughtering the children; the protectors; and then escaping into death without so much as an explanation; and without having to pay for his heartless destruction of truly innocent lives.

The school principal tried and was shot down. Teachers tried and were killed though the actions of these teachers saved lives that otherwise would have been lost. The Monster could not be stopped because he was carrying three (3) weapons; one of which was an assault rifle that is capable of firing so fast and so long that no-one could have gotten close to reaching the shooter before being killed themselves. His fourth weapon; also an asaault weapon was a Russian Saiga semi-automatic shotgun designed for close action in cramped areas and capable of carring a drum magazine for extended use.

Our sadness and sense of frustration knows no bounds and will respond to no balm.

My friend over at 3chicspolitico have had to stop reblogs for the time being but I am providing a link to their site. Look at the pictures of these kids and then tell me that we don’t need to place some controls on the unlimited power to kill.

From Mr. Cagle 

The following comments are from my good friend, Mr. Angry Man. By that name alone, you can guess why he & I get along so well.

First on the Ambassador Susan Elizabeth Rice fiasco:

Ooops!; there it is.
That same old two headed monster. Racism and Envy. One red eye and one green.
It is painfully obvious to anyone paying attention that Ambassador Rice would make an excellent Secretary of State.

I am reblogging this in a shameless play to reblog my own words. Don't be surprized if some of my words come up in another post as I often expand on comments to create posts. JB's words need to be read by as many people as possible. I can't say that we are 100% in accord with how to control and what controls but we do agree that something needs to be done ; and NOW. I am at that point where I might accept stricter controls if it will stop the killing of our children. I have always advocated for gun ownwership and I still do; assault weapons have become a real problem as well as handguns; especially concealed handguns. I am not satisfied that you should be able to conceal any weapon legally. But those are details best left for the table; a table that had better sit soon. Thanks to theobamacrat.com for posting my comment and for the excellent words about gun control. AMS
