And the beat goes on

Today went by rather quickly for some reason, I turned around and here it is evening and the convention in Boston is on.  I heard a rather familiar voice introducing a past president and was amazed at the reception he received.  I do believe if he were running again or allowed to run...Bill would sweep the field!  Oh, I know the law was changed after Roosevelt's s three terms...but I do really do believe Bill Clinton could do it again with no problem.

I have a feeling that John Edwards is kind of cut from the same cloth..extremely good at speeches, terrific appearance and oozes likeability.  You just look at him and you like him.  

Being an ex New Yorker I had not expected Hilliary to be totally taken to heart by New York...however, from everybody I've spoken to she is doing a damm good job, pays attention and pulls her weight.

You know, when I think back about the scandal in the White House I can't believe that we let Ken Star run with all that crap.  It cost the taxpayers millions to try to nail Clinton on something that should of remained private between him and his wife.  Is there any wonder that we have lost "face" around the world....I mean the jokes that went on and on were not doing our national interest any damm good.

Well, I firmly believe that Bush should follow his Dad and let history repeat itself.  I just wonder what went through their minds...it's going to be 1,000 young people lost after the invasion!  Were they trying to impress us with Shock & Awe? Looking now it was a failure...well, now wait..maybe not a failure...the oil wells weren't hurt too much if that's what counted.  And WHY did they let everybody keep their weapons? That made alot of sense, arm your enemy.

Normally I feel more compassion for people but I think we are beating our heads against a brick wall....this region, it's people so unstable, so volitile, yet unchanging in thousands of years...how can we think that we will instigate change? They want us out of there, they are not and never will be grateful for American blood spilled on their desert sand. 

With a change of administration comes a ray of hope that we can restore our sanity  and lead this nation forward in peace.
