I listened to Barack Obama's speech last night after the election results were in and was impressed as usual - also listened to Hillary's speech, not as impressive and a little scary when she claimed the need to count Florida and Michigan (it depends on HOW you count, of course). Then this morning I listened to Hillary again in W. VA. My wife said "she copies Obama", so I started listening more closely. Yep, I heard many of the same phrases as from Obama last night. So I said "do you suppose they just handed her Obama's speech to talk from?" Anyway they say that imitation is the most sincere form of compliment. And I would much rather hear her imitate Obama, than imitate John McCain, as she has been doing lately with her (and McCain's) ill-advised Tax Holiday! But she also could complement Obama, politically! Between them, they could pick up virtually all the Democrat base plus new voters and independents and win in a landslide bringing many more congressmen with them. So I am still, Pollanna-like, rooting for an Obama-Hillary ticket, and I DO think it is possible, despite what the experts say. We just need to turn off the petty.

Polished speakers both but ... Can they govern? So far I haven't heard a word about solving the mountain of problems this country faces ... It certainly can't be accomplished with rhetoric
Stay tuned; we, no doubt, will hear a LOT about that in the coming months.
Hi Joe, I've been busy - fumbling and learning and reinventing over at my new Blogsite. This time I am going for it seriously with WordPress, my own domain and an external webhost. ;)

Cheers!

I don't understand how anyone (that is a Christian or American),
can vote for Obama, him being a muslim. Their goal is to kill all
the afore said.
Hi 80hit,
Thanks for coming by. I agree with you for sure. God bless you too!
oops, see reply below
Hi NM,
Thanks for your comment. Actually Obama is a born-again Christian, which I am also. He is not a Muslim, although his father was. His Mother is from Kansas and he grew up mostly in Hawaii. He tells all about it in his book about his life and his father - very good book. His father was not a practicing Muslim either, but was a genius and got a scholarship to get his PhD in either Princeton or Columbia (I forget). Obama met the Lord in Chicago while working with churches there for the poor, and was baptised a Christian, like you and me - he is a brother, actually. I wrote another blog article with more detail if you are interested. Meantime, may the Lord guide us and bless whomever He chooses to lead us. Regards, JP
If he is a christian, why wouldn't he use the bible instead of the koran?
