OBAMA ~ KAMRYN
Present ~ Future
Obama & Kamryn:
Sure would Like To See Them
Together For Some Basketball!
Our President (POTUS) took the stage last night... He is getting grey! Seems they all get that way when they move into the White House doesn't it?
Twitter is just ablaze since the speech with comments of his speech, journalists and newscasters and comedians all have their hands full with their comments and analysis of his talk: his body language, his intentions, his humility...
Kamryn looks like a mini Obama! I sent the President and Mrs Obama that photo of Kamryn and a very sweet letter telling them all about Kam; telling him of his passion for sports and asking that if he ever gets that court in the White House to please consider inviting the little 8 year old kid for some 1:1 basketball with him! (if he is not afraid of getting whipped that is) haha After all,Kamryn IS the "next" Michael Jordon you know! We continue to wait for his autographed photo, but it hasn't arrived yet, but hope springs eternal I always say! Kamryn did have that photo shown on the local news station in Radford VA by WSLS showing him as "the Obama-Look-Alike"... he loved that and exclaimed, "Wow Mom, does that mean I'm famous". He got a real charge out of that, and of going to school the next day where so many had viewed it the night before and calling him "Little Obama". He now walks a little taller and behaves a little prouder out in public anyway... never know how you influence a child by letting them know they have a role model and an image I guess!
OK, the thoughts are just moving fast today as the sun shines and the poms play around *(close I might add)* to the edge of the pool with their morning antics, barking and attacking each other, letting the world know "it's good to be alive"!
"A humble President stood before the Nation", the analysts said over the wires! Yesterday Katie Couric reported having lunch with President Obama and remarked that he didn't eat his pie, which indicated that he was deep in thought I guess! I wondered if perhaps it was an indication that he was full, or maybe didn't like the looks of the pie, but then again that is just my thoughts... and I am not the rich nor famous!
Back to those analysts whoever and whatever they really are... they said that our President did a "humility check"... hmmm
I say he has been in office all ONE YEAR PEOPLE... one year of the worst economic times since the great depression, since the war in Iraq, since we still can't find the man who was behind 9.11 (which I still have trouble understanding), since credit card companies still can hike our interest rates without telling us, since we can re-finance our homes and still lose them and save 12.95 while banks continue to pay their big bosses enough money to have mansions and 20 cars... He has inherited a mess and he has been there only a year, and he has been trying to build consensus.... he is but a human being. And yes, I accept many do not like him and that is OK with me. I know that their are party lines that we do not cross. But I also know that when in crisis our nation's people come together.... we are in a crisis here!!!
I am not an analyst, not a politician, I am not the rich and famous... I am but one person, one voice in a sea of millions and trillions. I just don't understand why we the American people didn't get bailed out!
- Give every American Citizen one million dollars;
- let them pay off their homes; buy a home,
- buy an American car,
- make choices that they will have to live with,
- feed our economy by the choices we make...
- make Bank of America &Citi Bank get rid of their high dollar properties and high dollar execs
- Have retired govt workers go on social security
- Stop feeding the "big dogs" in government $$$
- Listen to those that live regular lives each day
- TAKE A STAND
Did I mention... Kamryn looks like President Obama? haha
All I really am thinking is that our President needs to now take a STAND.. he has spent his first year working hard to try and build consensus with everyone... He has been humbled, he has made some mistakes, and he has grown and greyed.
It is time! Go ahead POTUS... I want you to take a stand! Get somebody's knickers in a knot, piss someone off and take a stand. Granny used to say, "It's better to be pissed off than be pissed on" so go on... Take A STAND!!!
Be the CHANGE YOU PROMISED US. Listen to Michael Jackson sing "Man In The Mirror" every morning and get pumped up... Remember the line and sing it out loud, "And it's starting with me" You can do this... The American people need you; Kamryn and his future depend on you... We need you NOW; our future needs you, my mortgage needs you, our men and women fighting to defend our freedom need you. OK, I get that our President has made some mistakes, he's a work in progress just like every human being walking this side of God's earth.
Me? I don't care much for ratings, and the judgments of others... I know that is not the same for the powerful, the rich or famous... they have to care, they have to be cautious that way. I could probably stand to be more cautious... particularly with those "fair weather" friends and our President is finding that out over this last year as well!
Perhaps it would help if POTUS did write that letter to my Kamryn! Maybe he should invite Kamryn to the White House for a little 1:1 Basketball with he and Michael Jordon. That's the ticket... POTUS and Kamryn; yep that would be good! POTUS could have Kamryn there to remind him of the benefits of child-like wonder, of taking risks, of boy stuff (after all he is surrounded by the Obama girls)! A min-me to reflect visions of hope in taking a stand, of reaching, of seeing beyond one's own abilities through belief and power. Why our President could even let Kam sit at the big desk in the Oval Office for a day and watch as Kam bails out the little people, says NO to the big ones that want, want and demand the outrageous for themselves and all that other happy crap!
POTUS said well when he urged an end to "partisanship, pettiness and anger". He could have made that even stronger last night by adding, "I want you each as a part of the greater whole, as a Nation to come together in being your best selves, caring like you've never cared before and join me in Taking A Stand to ensure that we will not fall in our great Country and that we together will thrive to survive this crisis".
Yes Kamryn, and Yes Mr President... there are disappointments... The President was right last night when he said, " No wonder there is so much disappointment, I too am disappointed". Our families and friends sometimes fight and can't get along; there are times we miss the hoop and are disappointed, fights will disappoint, people can be greedy, institutions and corporations can and do get fat and cynicism increases because real and honest people can't move forward and seem to see no way out of the financial tunnels they have been stuffed into! However people are amazing, they are resilient and they are survivors... we are thriving and surviving even through all of this! On that you can be sure... Carry On, carry on... we are survivors people.
Change is never easy; no one likes change, but change is a constant in everyones' life. We are all change agents, but we fight it with each breath while each breath is in itself changing us everyday in everyway even on a molecular level!
JUST KNOW THIS... WE ARE THE CHANGE!
Walk IN Beauty!
