Seeing the news reports of the former President George Bush on the Fox Network this morning was reassuring and heartwarming. I've needed a Classy Act fix and it came across the airwaves today. I appreciate his candor and calmness in handling the insults and callous comments by President Obama and the White House staff.
President Obama displays a negative aspect to his personality to be so cruel in his attitude and words toward a previous president. As reported many times, it is a courtesy to not speak ill of a previous president, but President Obama has broken all the rules. President Obama's lack of judgement for proper protocol is a good example of lack of class and sensibility.
We have a prime example of President Obama's irresponsibility for protocol when we think about the gift he gave the Queen. If you have visited any of our President's Libraries or Museums you realize the value of the gifts that are exchanged by the heads of states of other countries. Thinking of the gifts I have seen displayed at the Eisenhower and Reagan Libraries, I certainly never saw anything as cheap as an iPod, meaning, the gifts received not only had material value beyond the cost of an iPod plus the gift was a representation of a country. I certainly don't think a recording of President Obama's speeches would be of any real value to the Queen, although, that is just my humble opinion.
I am anxious to visit George W. Bush's library when it is completed in Dallas, Texas. I will look specifically for the gifts that were given to he and Laura by the other heads of countries.
The campaign promises of change by then Senator Obama have certainly come full circle. His nomination of a Hispanic Woman to the Supreme Court is a good thing on the surface, but to note that she is regarded of a woman who is ready to continue with a practice of reverse discrimination as per her ruling with regard to the white Firemen in New Haven, Conn. With Obama's election to President, we have to content with a government ruled by hypocrites. Our country will never survive - we have worked hard to screen out those who do not believe in Inalienable Rights for all citizens and now it seems we are almost back to ground zero starting all over. Equality will be in the eye's of the beholder or those in the pockets of President Obama and his staff of contributers.
In another news report, a reporter wrote today on the Black Panther court judgement which was overturned and said if the persons involved had been the Klu Klux Klan in dress present at a voting precinct - there would be no pardons. If you were approached by an individual swinging a night stick as you were entering the voting place, wouldn't you feel intimidated or possibly be frightened - I know I would! My dear friend "A" shared her thoughts with me before the election outcome was known that she feared this stirring of modern day discrimination would happen. She was right. There are many I know who do not see the color of the skin or hear the accent in the voice, but look for kindness and generosity and ability to fulfill what they are required, nothing more than I expect from myself daily.
