Obama Plays Golf While Our Planes Are Bombed

Can anyone remember when President Bush was criticized by the Democrats for 8 years, on their TV shows, for hesitating about 20 minutes in a school function, when informed that a plane had run into the World Trade Center? He was supposed to know that it was not an accident, before anyone else, and was supposed to run out of the grade school crying and screaming, and do something about it.
On Christmas day, we had a Muslim terrorist bomber set off a bomb on an airplane (God willing it didn't blow the plane in half as it could have done). What did Obama do for the next three days? He played golf and cavorted on the beach in Hawaii. No speech, no reassuring of the public, no nothing.
Of course we can't criticize him--he's a Democrat.
It reminds me of Democrat President Clinton. Just before 9/11, our CIA agents had Osama Bin Laden in their sights. They radioed to Clinton for permission to take him out. He wouldn't answer them because he was too busy playing golf at the time. Osama was already wanted for being part of the World Trade Center bombing. Then he succeeded on 9/11/01. All because Clinton was too busy playing golf.
The moral of the story is: instead of talking to school kids, Bush should have been playing golf when we were attacked--then no problem. But, I don't think that would have worked either--he didn't belong to the right party.

Happy Holidays

This is the time of year when Jews, Christians, Muslims, Black Americans, Pagans, and maybe others I'm not aware of, have a major celebration. So, I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays! And, may the good will, giving to the poor, and other good deeds last all year.
There is no reason that we can't get along with our neighbors-if we try. If you can't respect someone else's beliefs, don't expect them to respect yours. We gain alot more if we work together. And, at times like this, we need all the help we can get.
So, the next time you run into someone who doesn't look the same as you, or is from another country, ask them to go have a cup of coffee or something. You might find you have more in common than you think.
