The Results Are In - All Good!

DH got the results from his medical tests today and hooray, all clear. The surgeon told him he was in remarkable shape, no signs of cancer, see you in 6 months. How blessed are we?!

More blessings? You bet.

DD started her job yesterday.
18-year old grandson just got a new job that will allow him to continue his education and work too - a job with regular hours and benefits!
My Medicare card arrived.

Are political questions too hot to handle in a blog? Any reactions to Obama's speech today? I'll stick my neck out and say that if my Pastor held the same views that Rev. Wright did I'd find a new church home but do people hear things differently? Is what sounds like hate an inspirational message to others? I'm willing to learn, open-minded and curious.

Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday.

My preferred candidate has dropped out and I’m left with choosing between two with fairly similar ideas and plans.

In deciding which one to support I’ve thought about what I'd like in a president. I'd like a president who can restore our reputation overseas which has been severely damaged by this administration’s foreign policy and the lack of the “loyal opposition” to oppose. I'd like one who can bring us fiscal responsibility. A $3 trillion budget and the market's performance today were good indications of the economic problems we face at home. I'd like not only change (obvious) but someone inspirational, someone who can pull us together again like Kennedy did with his, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.”

I am comfortable with Hillary Clinton but there are those that really hate her and would oppose any idea she came up with just because it was hers. In fact, when some of President Clinton’s proposals were shown to people and not identified as his, they were supported. As soon as his name was attached to the same ideas they were opposed. Obama doesn’t carry the same negatives the Clintons do. Obama and Clinton have platforms that are fairly close but she’s divisive, he’s not.

All things considered, I slightly prefer Obama over Clinton but could support either one in November.
