On to The General Election Please!


Sometimes, life takes strange twists and turns in ones race to get to the end, and other times it is destiny that leads one to the end result. It matters not what others think, it does matter what the end result will be, no matter what. The math of The Republican Primary this year, delegate count is the ultimate number all must watch as it gets nearer to Mitt Romney winning it. The numbers do not lie, is all I can say to Mr. Rick Santorum and the world, spending more money in other states isn’t going to win it for you Santorum you said that yourself, so why continue?

        The time to end this debacle of a Republican Primary is now, Newt Gingrich‘s campaign is over his funds are gone and dried up, Ron Paul hangs on, but no one will tak ethe elderly one serious and his views are more liberal than conservative anyway.  The end is here Mr. Santorum let Romney now fight his race against President Obama and lets really see if he can beat him or not. I warn all though, President Obama is loaded for bear and ready for anything anyone will throw at him and as I see it now no matter the Republican Nominee, you still have to beat the Incumbant who is beginning to turn things around, look at the numbers.

        I have never been a soothsayer nor a fortune-teller, or one who claims to see the future and know what is coming next, but it sure looks like this race to the Presidency is one between Romney and Obama to me. Who wins or who loses will depend on perceptions of these men in the American Public and at this time I can tell you two areas that will decide this as far as population goes. It won’t  be die- hards of either party, it will be independents like myself and in the end the female gender, women carry power in elections, and if you mess with female issues you deserve what you get from them. 

        Decades ago, Roe vs Wade and the courts solved women’s issues big time with the decision won by women. Do not tell a woman what to do with her body, that is  their own personal place to go, Do not tell them whether they can or can not have a child for religious reasons or any other, they know what they want and can make up their own minds. As to contraceptives of different sorts, men and women use them to prevent unwanted children it’s a fact of the world and to stop supplying them would be wrong too. After Rape drugs are needed for I agree with women, if raped why would they want to keep a rapists child?

          I tire of politicians who tell us what to do with our lives, but I also tire of the ones who don’t get the ideas and thoughts the American people really need help with too.  Stay away from Medicare, Stay away from Medicaid, stay away from Social Security and stay away from Veteran’s Benefits, the people on these items need them each and every freaking penny they get. They are not the rich ones who live high on the hog, they are the ones who have to budget each day and week to survive and take hours in a store to figure how they can eat because of money limits. Wake the hell up politicians!. The saddest thing about the election year cycle and the way the election is going is too many damn Republicans want to take from the poor give to the rich and raise the income of the rich by cutting their taxes. How about we do what Mr. Buffett said, make the rich pay more which is their fair share for a change!.

         Anyway I am reaching a little far now off my original subject of the Republican Primary Race and the meaning of Romney’s wins last night. In the end though isn’t it time we all get a view of what the fall election will be and end this republican debacle now? Lets get to fixing the economy, trade agreements, jobs, and trimming budgets and making Health Care Work!

 

Republican Disgrace !!!!


      Slowly the Republican Primary slogs along down the path to their convention. Mitt Romney still is the delegate leader no matter what others may want to say or hope for. All Mitt Romney needs to do is relax, be himself, use his wife, and answer questions honestly and openly. Do not Mitt, stand up there and be phony, fake or impolite, nor try to be someone you are not. As soon as you try to force yourself into a position, or stance you don’t really believe in, it crumbles around your ears. Be Mitt Romney, and slow down when you’re talking some and think before you speak. If you do that, speak jobs, the economy and how to turn it all around you will be fine. One other thing you need to do Mitt is, take the stick out of your ass and stop acting like a rich little bitch and show you care for all the people not just the rich. Stop being negative against your opponents and try some positive advertising for positions and issues you believe in.

       Rick Santorum deserves congratulations for his Victories in Mississippi and Alabama last night, he put on an impressive show of popularity for sure. He runs on Social Agendas, that each state thinks is important to it. He appeals to the sensibilities of these poor states and their people. But if Alabama and Mississippi both stopped to think what they were really voting for they would run from Santorum and his religious and social views. Sadly, the people do not understand what they will really get if Santorum is elected or gets the Nomination., Santorum needs to explain his opposition to Romney getting the nomination to the people.

       Newt Gingrich, come on now Newt you are a Southern boy who had plenty of support when you represented Georgia in the House, but lets face it if all you can win is Georgia and South Carolina at this stage, this many states into the race for the Nomination it is indeed time to step out of this race. The same can be said of Newt here that I have said of Santorum in the end, why do you oppose Mitt Romney getting the Republican Party Nomination so hard? What did Romney do to you or the party?

       The last candidate is Ron Paul who is overlooked in last nights, primary contests because he didn’t win a thing and came in fourth in all of them. God Bless Ron Paul for standing up and running at his age and his spirit is strong. The rest of the Candidates should just tell Ron, hey you can have your say at the convention we will listen to you, you need to step aside nicely now and go home to Texas and relax.

       As the numbers come in and change it is apparent that the Republicans don’t want to give their nomination to Mitt Romney, what isn’t clear is exactly why?. When you look at the polls and his comparisons to President Obama no Republican compares better, nor shows they can run with Obama period, better than Romney. The resistance in this case is baffling to many people across the land. Someone please come out with a straight answer here, as to why the Republican Party is so damn sure it doesn’t want Romney as the Nominee, please! Just explain it to America in english and we shall see what we can do, seriously, the man has one hell of a delegate lead you know.

      As 2012 continues on its path towards the November General Election, do these Republican Candidates realize how much ammunition they are giving the Democrats and how much time and money they are wasting fighting each other?  The advantage of the Democrats is showing fully at this time, after millions upon millions of dollars spent on negative ads against each other, these Republicans don’t realize the fact of President Obama still sailing smoothly to his Nomination. The Power of the Incumbant alone is enough to give President Obama a leg up in this election , period.

      It makes one wonder, how much longer can Santorum, Gingrich and Paul actually keep pushing at Romney and why they are so damn concerned with him winning the Nomination, that they are blind to the fact, they are killing the Republican Chances in the General Election. Anger and bitter squabbles are stupid when picking a Presidential Candidate, wake up Republicans the time to unite is here. In the end, come November, if you Republicans don’t get your shit together in one sock and back one candidate soon, you might as well throw all the contributions and money out the windows and give up now. You can’t win an Election for president if you can’t even get behind one person for the Nomination, can you? It’s  sad state for a political party to be in, fighting and arguing like kids in a playground over who shall be the leader, who will get beat in the end anyway, isn’t it? Mrs. Bush, said it best, this whole primary process for the Republican Party is a walking joke and disgrace to the Republican Party and it’s members.

 

 

Mississippi/ Alabama Speak Today!


Today is March 13th, 2012, and the  Republican Primaries continue with still fout candidates on the ballots, why? I find it hard to believe that  the Republican Party ina nd of itself is not pressuring these candidates to suspend their runs. How much of a chance does a candidate at this point who has won no states or only one state have at the nomination, none. Mitt Romney needs to convey to Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich they will get their say at the convention come August and the Party will listen.

Then we run dead into Rick Santorum. Why this man wants to split the Republican Party into two factions is beyond me. Santorum needs to pack his suitcases and leave the race just as badly as the other two really. Sadly he wants to keep pushing his religious views and thoughts on others, and still run on his so called social issues. We don’t need a candidate out there talking abortion, child care,child rights and putting down women’s rights. His views on abortion, and whether women should have a right to one  are so far fetched and out there, we can not go back to the 1940’s Mr. Santorum and treat women like we own them and they have no rights.

As the South begins it’s statement today on Republicans in the race by holding their primaries, they need to focus on the economy, jobs, eating and places to live. I understand the South’s pride and refusual to want to take charity, but in the end, you can’t beat Mother Nature on your own and you can’t beat Father Time either nor can you beat Uncle Sam with it’s laws, rights and ways. VOte for Romney down there and you may get a fair shake to earn your way out of poverty, and pain, anyone else and you may end up not getting anywhere!.

The Republican Primary Season has been entertaining and interesting with so many different views from these four remaining candidates. Now that all of them have had a say and made numerous speeches, attending 20 debates, and drawn out this contest beyond a respectful process, is is indeed time to get together and back one man, Mitt Romney. Face the facts, Mr. Paul, Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Santorum, no matter how you do the math, even magically in the end Mitt Romney has the lead and the race to the finish in hand. The delegate count itself is in his favor as I believe the American public is realizing and so should you too.

If you want a fair chance at The Presidency and beating President Obama, I would reccommend you wake up and back Romney and give him time to debate, and fight President Obama now. Sadly, the foolish pride of people who can’t win the nomination based on their own faults and problems and the way the Republican Party feels about it’s own, will destroy any chances the party has of running a fair race against President Obama.

As Mississippi, and Alabama get ready to speak this evening, they need to realize what I am saying here is correct. Across the USA, these Southerners, are being portrayed as southern idiots or dim witted hillibillies, and I hope they see it on television. The South has to stand tall and proud this election and make the best choice for it’s own reasons. But the cruelity of television and advertising, must have by now stung the people of thes etwo states. They show them on CNN and other channels as toothless, senseless and slow witted people who can’t understand the differences between the candidates. I think they can undertand it all, but are still being disrespected. If your in Mississippi or Alabama you need yo wake up and represent yourselves better to the public, the nation an dthe world and stop these television stations and newscasts from treating you all, as hillibillies and old time rebels.

You may have a favorite Southern Son, in Newt Gingrich from Georgia in this race, but he has far too much baggage to get the Republican Nomination and we all know it. Southern women need to look at Rick Santorum and tell him he can’t stop you from aborting children from rapes and you determine what to do with your body and child not him or his religion. Ron Paul is too old and liberal to be a true Republican and we all know he will never get the Nomination and so does he. He just wants a say at the platform at the Convention. In the end every Republican knows only one candidate has a pig’s eye cahnce in winning the Nomination and it is Mitt Romney, give it to him sooner than later, and he may have a chance or a fair run at the presidency if you let him.

 

Please Vote Carefully!


      February 2012 is ending today and last night Michigan and Arizona spoke in the Republican Primary process and Mitt Romney won both states. As March comes in tomorrow, Republicans may have to begin thinking about regrouping behind their front-runner. If they don’t soon back Romney and push him over the top, any contest or chance he may have to beat President Obama will disappear for sure.

       First and foremost, two of these candidates for the Republican nomination should immediately step aside and allow the top two to go head to head. Newt Gingrich is not an idiot or stupid man and neither is Ron Paul, the answer men is in the numbers. All you have to do now is ask the front-runner if he will give you voice at the convention and a say in the platform!. It is after all, all you really want isn’t it Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Paul, you will get your say I am sure.

      In the end it is looking like Mitt Romney will get his wish to be the candidate for President for his party one way or the other. Ron Santorum needs to back up and regroup also, he needs to stop his social issues platform, and get back to the real issues of the economy, jobs and rebuilding. Sadly he wants to continue to issue warnings to women, about abortions, and contraceptives. Or he wants to rant and rave on who is right or wrong religious wise and what they believe in. Religion Mr. Santorum is freedom of choice item in the United States, and you can not and do not have the right to tell anyone what religion is right or wrong to practice. Nor do you have the right to tell American Women, whether or not they can abort the child of a rape or they should be happy to have one. Sadly your religious views and ideas come from the medieval days and we are in modern days.

       As the election cycle goes forth now, and choices must be made as to who shall face President Obama for the Office, stop and think of what you’re doing to your own candidates and what ammunition you are handing the opposite party. This Election is going to decide not only the presidential future and who will lead us, it will decide whether we turn the economy around or we don’t. Vote Carefully and listen to all folks and don’t vote because someone looks good with his wife and kids, or, because they started something and you want to give them a chance to end it, vote for who will really lead us out of the recession and away from depression and back into the black on the ledger. Wise up Folks, Vote Carefully, Intelligently, and Wisely!

 

2012 Election Cycle Opinion


  Each day I awake, stumble from my bed to a bathroom, clean up and then dress and stumble downstairs to my kitchen. My mind screams coffee and i get a cup no matter what. Then As I get that going the cat comes around the corner staring at me with big yellow eyes and meows til I feed her, she keeps circling too till I give her it. As she wolves down her food,I grab my coffee and head to my computer, where I check my e-mails in three different places online. then check Facebook, and read CNN and Yahoo before I do anything else.

       I look for signs of things that will affect America, the World and items that may destroy, harm or take away the rights of the people, or their benefits in someway or another. Politics I check daily also, because the future of America is at stake in the current election cycle of 2012. When I do amazingly I find that as President Obama forges ahead in his term in office, and he is coming to a possible end of it, he gets better with time, when you compare him to his Republican challengers left in this race.

       Sadly, it seems no matter what, Mitt Romney is a decent Republican candidate , but the party doesn’t want him to have its nomination because he is too liberal. Next is Rick Santorum, here is a Republican who needs help staying one. His views on abortion, his record in the Senate and more deem this man a not ready for prime time candidate. Yet Americans and the Republicans think he may be the alternative to Romney. Sad isn’t it?

       Newt Gingrich continues to say, he will stay in this race and he is running for President. As all in his own Republican Party will tell you, Newt may win a few states, but in the end he will never get the nomination and he should face that fact. His political baggage from his days in office and as Speaker of the House will haunt him forever. His temperamental attitude and character will only scare many away and he really doesn’t want to be President anymore than Ron Paul does, he just wants a say in the Republican Platform at the Convention. Ron Paul wants the same, they will continue to knock Romney around the longer they both stay in the race, more than likely killing any chance of their party winning the general election, whichever candidate they choose between Romney and Santorum. Sad isn’t it?

       The destruction of Mitt Romney as a candidate has not fully occurred folks, he is still viable in all ways if he concentrates on the economy, jobs, saving benefits for all, and keeping us out of wars. Yet his fellow Republicans will not drop from the race, because they don’t believe he is conservative enough for his right-wing side of the party. The right-wing of the Republican party and the Tea Party better realize soon, they need to back Romney or they have no chance in hell to unseat Obama.

       Talking about the lone Democrat in this race to keep the seat of the Presidency, he is gaining speed and his train is getting warmed up at the station. The steam is a blowing from his engine as he makes it, and he is getting ready to slam the Republicans off the track soon. I fully expect to see President Obama get a second term in office. Yes he didn’t do everything correctly or by the book, but he sure worked his ass off trying to overcome a Congress filled with his enemies. His record will show he put through a Health Care Package to help all Americans even if you don’t agree with all in it. His Record will show he bailed the country out in the only way he could and companies that should have gone under are  still here and alive.

        My ending conclusion on this Election Cycle for the November Election is simple and true. President Obama will more than likely get his second term. He deserves one based on his numbers, his character and the way he has conducted himself for his term. He pulled us out of wars, is bringing our troops and money home. In the end he is respected in the world as a good leader.

        I say vote for President Obama, for when it comes to Debates between Obama and any Republican out there left, you will see and know the difference quickly.  I personally have dubbed the current Presidential Race a new Title: The President and the Stooges. I see the Republicans left as the three stooges of comedy fame. Romney is Moe, trying to keep the other two in line, Gingrich is Curly and is  there for a good laugh now and again, and Santorum is Larry, the constant stand up man for the routines. And we add Ron Paul as a fourth because he reminds me of Shemp, always taking a punch or shot and yet still smiling through the beating. Can The Stooges overcome this opinion of themselves and overcome President Obama for the office? I doubt it?

 

Florida Must Speak!


Florida is next for the Republican Primary Contest and so far we have three different winner in three different states, why?  Well, because each state is slightly different in what is wrong with it and how it thinks due to religious beliefs. It seems all in the end have religioius beliefs that color and sway their voting.

       As Florida is one week away now from having its say in the Republican’s choice for their nominee, the people of Florida have a big decision to make. When their primary ends, and a clear front-runner emerges in either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich, the last man standing Rick Santorum will more then likely drop then, and suspend his campaign too. By the time it becomes a two-man race we will get a clearer picture of who each man really is.

       If I were the Republicans, I would think twice about giving our nomination to Newt Gingrich a man loaded with old baggage from his past. Three marriages, Infidelity,Lies, the Freddie Mac controversy, and why was he finally done as Speaker of the House , investigate folks! Mr. Gingrich is indeed a good debater but in the end, how much baggage will be in the Republican Party’s way to get the Presidency? Someone needs to look and see!

       Mitt Romney has tried yes indeed to be elected before, and failed, maybe through of all that is left he is indeed the best choice. He isn’t in this for money that’s for sure he has plenty and spends it. He isn’t in it for benefits he has all money can buy that’s for sure. Can it be possible that Mit Romney is actually running because he wants to really help the American People not himself. I think if Mitt Romney can clarify a few things for all, he can get the nomination.

       Mitt, show us the tax returns and that hurdle will drop. Explain to the American people all about Bain and what the company really did and why. Steer clear of religious issues, not give up your faith at all that you love so well, just don’t discuss it so much. Explain to the nation why your home state, needed your Health care program you put in place and make it clear it should be done state by state not nationally. Leave Obama‘s Health Care Program alone, don’t try to remove it, improve it instead. Mitt do yourself a favor and the elderly and disabled a favor too, don’t attack Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security or anyone’s disability payments. find a way to plug the leak in Social Security by stopping Congress from borrowing from it.

       As January 30th, 2012 comes closer and this couid indeed be the pivotal primary for Republicans, the state of Florida its people need to look closer and make a great choice in this race. If you vote Gingrich, watch out the baggage will come flying out, his temperament will change, his aggression will show and he will lose against Obama.

       Ron Paul already said he doesn’t expect to win the nomination, but he does want some say at the convention is all, into the platform for the fall. Rick Santorum is a good man, but too inexperienced to run a full-fledged nationwide primary. So, Republicans the choice will be between Romney and Gingrich and if you choose wrong you will lose the national election come November!

Republicans might be making a Big Mistake!


     Today January 21, 2012 is the Republican South Carolina Primary. As all that are left are 4 candidates now the field has slimmed down big time. But even with the remaining 4 choices, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, there is no real front runner at this late date. Santorum won Iowa , Romney won New Hampshire and now it is looking like Gingrich will take South Carolina. The real question now becomes who do the republicans really want to face Obama in the fall election and who can win?.

       My opinion of these candidates on the Republican side is not a good one by anyone standards or calls. The way I see it is the republican voters give South Carolina to Newt Gingrich they lose in the fall election, If they give it to Ron Paul they are not voting for a conservative but a liberal republican.  Give it to Santorum and you give it to a moderate republican with religious views and ideas that don’t match the party he wishes to represent. That would leave Mitt Romney, but again each and every candidate in these Republican Primaries have their own forms of baggage and problems.

       I think the Republicans should think it over again in more ways than one, Newt Gingrich has more baggage then all of the remaining four combined. His record in Congress and as Speaker of the House speaks for itself. And how many conservative Republicans will trust a candidate who was married three times, asked for an open marriage from his second wife, and claims to be a Regan Republican and isn’t?.

        Sadly as I watch the election results get ready to roll in and people line up to speak about the candidates I can’t help but stop to think, Will any of the four left be able to actually stand up to Obama ? I don’t believe they can and survive his tactics nor his speaking against them. I know, I know what many will say, it’s either Gingrich or Romney and that’s it today!. Well your all probably right, but in the end, which would be best for the Republican Party? I believe the man for the job has to be Mitt Romney, at least he talks sense, controls his temper, and may listen to advisors and his own party, can the same be said of the former Speaker of The House Newt Gingrich, I doubt it!.

       So, here is what I say to Republicans across the land we live in, and i say it as an Independent, you choose to run Newt Gingrich against Barrack Obama you lose in November, no doubt in my mind.  While Mr. Gingrich is a rough and tumbler, fighter in debates and he can stand his own, when do we know when he willexplode on himself. his wife, his life or the american people and not be in full control/ And do we need an American President with tempermental problems and rudeness as well as outright aggressiveness to other nations? I don’t think so, so stop and think South Carolina and Florida who is next.We need economic solutions, a peacefull face towards the world and a President who will save Medicare, Medicade and Social Security, for all the aged citizens of today. I firmly believe to vote for Newt Gingrich is to vote for a person who can explode or get angry at anytime and who will make rash decisions instead of thinking things out fully. I just hope Republicans realize this before they give Mr. Gingrich the Nomination on a plater.

 

Happy Birthday to my Daughter!/ Politics for All


      January 2nd, 2012, hard to belive but here we are!.

       Well, each January 2nd, I stop and think of my eldest daughter, Eileen Marie, who made me a father and a proud one too. She was born way back on this date in 1982, after I walked her mother around for hours to get her to be delivered. Finally she decided to enter the world on the 2nd day of the year and made me smile and cry with joy. Happy Birthday, to You Eileen and May your 30th, be just as happy and loving as your very first was!.

       The New Year begins and tomorrow so does the Presidential Race and fight for Glory and Position and Power. Personally speaking I believe, we should skip the whole presidential Debates and Primaries and just stay with who we have and give him a chance to finish what he has started, turning it all around.

        But the first caucus will hit in Iowa tomorrow and the televisions, radios and papers will be filled with the statements and fights and winning and losing by the Republican candidates. Once more, this long drawn out all-american process begins and the American People must listen to so much bullshit to get to the facts. I think if someone is serious about winning the President’s job, then they should all learned to speak with straight tounges,honesty and common sense, tell us the truth and what you will do to fix it all is all!.

       I care not if, Mitt Romney doesn’t like Ron Paul, or Rick Perry or any other candidate, fight on your own time on the side ok!. I don’t care if Newt Gingrich thinks Ron Paul id dangerous, Rick Perry can’t speak straight, Michelle Bachman is a woman, Jon Huntsman didn’t play in Iowa or any other such crap. I want to know what you can really do, to fix the economy, create jobs, lower housing costs, costs of living, health costs, fix the social security system and Medicaid and in the end make America the power we once were once more. Bring back our credit rating, bring back manufacturing, stop other countries from stealing  our jobs and in the end stop illegal immigration and make the system work once more.

    Sadly, the Presidential Race for the Republicans has not produced any answers for the above things and not one candidate can honestly quote a full plan with true and honest results for any of it, can they? When will Americans hear the truth out of these candidates running for President, including our current one? It is an American custom it seems to baffle the people with political bullshit to get elected then get in office and not be able to do what they promised. sad isn’t it?

       Well, enough of that subject for today!. The Politicians and the Newscasters shall continue no matter my opinion or reasons for not wanting to hear it anymore!

         God Bless America and May we make Congress work once more for us all! November is coming faster than any of us will want, if we are all smart we will indeed vote out the ones holding offices now in Congress  and replace them with ones who will compromise and make the system work once more for all!.

2012- Begins-Welcome


      A new Year, a new beginning hopefully for all!.

      Like a new-born baby sticking its head out of a womb, 2012 begins with no knowledge of a past and no sight of its future. It shall make its own in time like all good children do.

        For me, 2012 marks, 30 years since my eldest daughter was born on January 2nd, 1982.  I love both my daughters very much but I don’t see them much due to the divorce and distances and financial problems. I just want to let my eldest daughter to know, I love her so and as much as I do her sister, but we can not communicate the same. Sadly there is a  distance between my eldest daughter and I, and I wish I knew how to overcome it all.

       That said so the world can now see it, onto the next subject, the beginning of the real run for the White House. The Republicans begin their ascent or in some cases descents into the madness of this race for power and prestige. Who will get the Nomination on the Republican side? Well in my opinion, the race is down to a very few at this moment in time in all reality.

       Mitt Romney has been Mr. Steady from the beginning of it all and looks like a strong possibility right now. Than there is Rick Santorum who has come charging up from the pack to challenge Mitt.  These two look like the two possibilities out of a pack of candidates running currently.

         Ron Paul I would say will not win or get the Nomination, too radical and liberal for a real Republican. Rick Perry is a hopeless candidate lost in the woods and too far out of his safe zones to even come close. Michelle Bachman makes some very good points in many areas, sounds presidential, but as we all know, if the Democrats would not give their nomination to Hillary Clinton, don’t expect the Republicans to give theirs to Mrs. Bachman, she is no, Hillary Clinton.  Newt Gingrich, carries far too much baggage to even be a serious contender here and is far too gruff and rough to get any nomination. Then there is Jon Huntsman, while he at times sounds like a straight shooter and an honest man, he lacks the experience to manage the country except in political affairs.

       By the time the Republican Nomination happens expect one candidate to remain standing, whether that will be Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum , that depends on what the Republicans really want as their standard-bearer. An old reliable steady  like Romney, or a slightly new one in Santorum. Your guess is as good as mine in this thing, but, at least the choice will be there.

      Can Barack Obama, who we already know will be the Democrats candidate as the Incumbent win reelection to a second term? Did he do enough to help his country and promote it and is he strong enough to get a second term? The American people must determine that, my suggestion for President Obama, bring what you have done to the table and let America know what you have accomplished and why? And what you couldn’t accomplish and why also!.

         As 2012 begins to unfold, I think back to something my step-father said when he was dying: Do not grieve for me son, my time has come, I shall be gone. For you who are younger the minutes shall pass, the hours and the days, soon becoming months and years and taking your memories of me away. Live life to the fullest, enjoy it all, love and laugh and have a ball, you only live once after all !!!. So welcome 2012 and May you bring us all peace and happiness and some joy!
