Respecting the President
Monday, July 19th, 2010This is my uncle John’s idea, and I am going to put it here. Don’t be informal when addressing the President. He’s President Obama. I’ve started, I like calling him the informal Obama, but my uncle is correct, it is disrespectful. He earned the office and respect. People would get on liberals case for just calling Bush, Bush, not President Bush.
I think President Obama is still doing an okay job. I also think the community of Democrats needs to step up and help. We can’t depend on him for every little piece of legislation we want, we need to continue to organize ourselves. He’s the leader and he will steer.
My husband’s leading style is simple here at home, he gives out the idea, and then I accomplish it. Well, Obama has the same style, he gives out an idea, and others seem to accomplish the idea.
Anyway, let’s all be more respectful to the President of the US. Okay.
Toughest job on the planet

Just finished watching President Obama’s speech. The man has the toughest job in the world. His speech was to help with the continuation of the NASA space program. It was a good speech.
This must be a tough week for him. He looks tired. Because of his job, he has to be there 24 hours seven days a week. Available for anything. We american citizens must remember this, maybe a president could be allowed time for a power nap.
2032 is not that far away. His plans for it are the right ones. I hope to find more on the internet in the future about these programs, and results.
Back to work
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Reading news from around the world starts tomorrow. I will keep trying to update this blog as regularly as I can. Three babies and loads of outside distractions are fun.
Change is on my mind. How do you get a large group to change? I think something has to be invested by the group, and held very personally to get change to make sense. If the group is comfortable, and has all the Maslow’s needs met, that makes change difficult. Add lack of good information the group will just stay the same, because why fix something that is apparently working out so well.
Reporters seem to be shouting at the wind sometimes, and maybe good information is coming out of the stories broadcast by the main stream media. Good reporters tend to get fired if they dig too well, or too deep.
The internet is being looked at by the people in power to be regulated. I am all for regulation, but not on speech. The world wide web is a form of speech, it should be free. People like me are out here, reading other blogs, and the main stream media. People are coming to their own conclusions and starting to talk. Kinda like talking in town square but to a larger population.
I watched Obama getting interviewed yesterday by youtube people. I read his tweets from the red cross. The president seems to get it. He is the first president that is really embracing the opportunity to talk to regular folks. Yea, reporters sure are regular folks too.
The American public is just at the beginning of figuring out there is a change needed. Yes, that was a campaign platform but who really understood what that meant. Some are starting to realize what it means, some aren’t. If the large group doesn’t really suffer, that group will back lash and want the status quo. And I am really sorry for saying this,
