What you think does matter

How do you make politics simple enough for an eleven year old to understand - turn the TV off! Really, it’s hard enough explaining life and the every day things to your kids - why would a teacher give my child an extra credit assignment that requires her to stay up late past her bed time to watch something she has no knowledge or concept of? I was going to watch the Vice Presidential debate anyway - but it’s hard to really listen to the debate when your eleven year old child who wants to do good in school is asking you “what does that mean?” “why did they say that?”. How can I hear the issues when I’m busy explaining to my child why Biden said he opposes fraud from the mortgage companies, the big oil companies and how Obama will stop that [ despite that fact that Obama was taking kick backs from Freddie Mac and Fannie May when they were committing the fraud???] But hey - thank you teacher for making my day a bit more interesting!

I tell my children "say what you mean and mean what you say". I tell my children to be o

Just ran across this video news clip - reports are sufacing that obama makes little mention of his "Race" [African American ] becuase race will cost him the election race. I wonder if America is passed that and if Obama being on the ticket means that that in itself is not an issue. Or maybe the CBS news is just trying to stir up the race issue... see below... Can Racists Stop Obama? Barack Obama has been cautious to poise himself as an African American candidate. As Dean Reynolds reports, racial stigmas of both conservatives and liberals could detriment his campaign.
