OBAMA SPEECH

If you read my blog you know I not

only voted for our President Obama

but have been a supporter of his.

Do I like everything he says, does, or stands for?

Nope, does he irritate me sometimes and I

think, "Why did you say that, dummy?" yes.

However, as a young girl I was taught by my parents

and the teachers who blessed me with their knowledge

we have freedom of speech here in America

but respect of a President and the officials

who win the election is the only way we will move

forward in our rolls for a better life for ourselves

and the future of our children, our country.

Therefore I listened intently as he made his

speech to the thousands gathered at the

Arizona memorial and I am proud this morning

to say he is our President.

He did not call the gunman a mentally unstable kid

he called him a "violent man"

One point for Obama.

"... The moment should prompt Americans

to step back and reflect on how they lead their

own lives and how they deal with one another."

Two points for Obama.

Then he spoke much of those who had died,

gave background on each of their lives.

Did not trivialize anything of what their purpose

was in the world.

He ended his speech with thoughts of Christina Green.

"... She saw all through the eyes of a child, undimmed

by cynicism, or that which we adults sometimes take

for granted. I want us to live up to her expectations,

I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it."

I don't know a lot about politics, I don't care to.

But I do know this.

I want to believe in the American way and the

fact that because of my freedoms I can post

this blog, I can say how I feel.

I stand behind whatever man or woman we call

President whether they were my vote or not.

For Christina Green,

I will be a better citizen, I will be kinder to my fellow man,

I will try and treat all with the respect each and everyone

of us deserve just because we were born in this wonderful country.

It is the only way our country will move forward.

Peace is my prayer.
