(Read post and click on comment to respond)

The facts about the man: President Obama is diverse in his own right. Born to a white mother, a black father, one from the United States the other from Africa. He was raised mostly in Hawaii by a single parent (his mother) and his grandparents. Graduated from New York’s Columbia University and Harvard Law School, first black editor and president of the Harvard Law Review, a civil rights lawyer, a constitutional law instructor, author, father, brother, spouse...and so much more.

The facts about the nominee: Judge Sonia Sotomayor, born to parents that were both from Puerto Rico, she grew up in South Bronx projects, graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University. She obtained her J. D. degree from Yale Law School where she was editor of the law journal, a former prosecutor, private attorney, a federal judge for the Southern District of New York, and the first Puerto Rican woman to serve as a U. S. Circuit Court judge. She is 54, divorced with no children……..and more qualified than any sitting supreme court nominee at the time of their nomination...and so much more.

I say……… President Obama I applaud you…….sounds like a great person for the job to me.

What a picture?………A picture of diversity!…….A picture with President Obama the first African American president, announcing the appointment of the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice joined by Vice President Joe Biden, who is white........!

What a country!……..What will be said????……..Lots!!!……….But let us stay focused, they work for us!.......Concentrate on getting the facts, getting the job done, and getting the economy and the country back on track.

Obama 3.0 Grade Point!

President Obama graded for his first 100 days by CNN and it’s viewers! ...... First it was A-, then when all the votes came in, I believe they said it was a B...... Good grade, right? Well, what's next?..............Get ready for the next 100 days............The 200 day grading period! Does this surprise you? More people are watching so why give up a good thing, right?

This is the 1st black President of the United States receiving a Good grade for his first 100 days even with all the problems he has to deal with and even with all the negative press out there. What grade would President Bush have received? or President Clinton? What about President Nixon? ...........or better yet what grade would the president of CNN receive? I wonder why CNN hasn't graded it's own president or the president of AIG, Bank of America, Freddie Mac, Chrysler........ I hope you get the picture? ....What to you think?........Obama Respect or Disrespect?

Obama Compared to the H1N1 Virus

I heard a conversation on the radio the other day. The host said Rush Limbaugh was comparing President Obama to the H1N1 (swine) flu virus and that everybody he came in contact with was getting sick. Sick from 2 strains, the tarp flu and the Obama suck-up disease. They said CNN and the New York Times had the suck-up disease and that the Wall Street Journal was the only real newspaper.

Is this .........Respect???? ......or Disrespect??????

This conversation was somewhat disturbing to me! I think these types of comments about President Obama are very disrespectful. We need to continue to stay informed and make sure people know the truth about President Obama and squash the negative comments that don't have the slightest bit of truth in them.

If these types of comments are spoken on national radio I can only imagine what is said behind closed doors!

BAH ! GOP Disrespect

The Grand Old Party sent leaders to Washington who couldn't control spending for the last eight years and can't control spending now.  They have NO credibility when they claim the Dems are overspending to the point of threatening future generations.  The Party of No confronts the Party of Change and blames it all on the President of Change.  

It's amazing that partisans can't put aside their differences in face of an economic crisis.  President Obama is not only trying to steer the ship of state in a new direction, he is actually trying to right a ship badly listing on its starboard side. 

Enough of the blame game ! Fix the problem they created and show some respect for a change.  The GOP can strip their own earmarks, agree to fairer taxes that include the rich, and get behind a President who is smart for a change.
