Racial chip on his shoulder
As if the news couldn't get any more depressing or shocking, the issue with Professor Gates and the Cambridge Police Department seemed to take the trophy for Thoughtless Criticism. Oh, but wait, it gets better - or worse however you want to look at it - when asked a question regarding the confrontation between Gates and the Police, our President Obama response was that the police department's action was stupid. Way to go Prez!!! It doesn't look good when a president speaks out with a bias concerning a public issue he knows nothing about. Of course, my common sense immediately turns negative and realizes immediately its becoming a racial issue. Does our President Obama have a racial chip on his shoulder? Does Professor Gates have a racial chip on his shoulder? If this is the case, then we'll never ever have anything near equality in our country because we'll forever we walking on our tippy toes trying not to offend anyone and someone will get off scott free when they are guilty.
Maybe you saw it coming, maybe you knew it was inevitable, but I am so naive about this stuff. I believed Obama's "Change" proclamation for equality for politics (which has been all but blown out of the water and running down the drain) and "hope" for unity of the differences between the human races but now I know his prima donna was nothing more than fluffy words of deceit.
What does this do for our relationship as far as racial problems are concerned? In my opinion, President Obama has made it worse and created a huge pothole between what could have been and what is, and maybe will be. I have a few friends who warned me this would happen, but I was not brought up to think in that way. I don't want there to be division or skepticism. I would presume to have a president who brings the country together not one who deliberately presents the issue in the manner that President Obama did to divide the country. President Obama is certainly very self-assured that he is untouchable and his racial attitude for Professor Gates and against the police department will be accepted, although he has now retracted the "meaning" of his words and probably hoping no one observed his bias. There are plenty of great politicians of Barack Obama's race who have never made an issue of the color of their skin. They have served our country with pride and grace and honor.
It's too late for President Obama to pick up the pieces of his few words of dissent and make it all better. Having a beer with the arresting police officer at the White House will never put it to rest.

Todd on Pope Obama's visit
I have been preoccupied with the economy more specific my family's economy and other matters. I had forgotten about the protocol of visiting dignitaries giving gifts to those they visited, such as President and Mrs. Obama visiting Pope Benedict last week.
As I was catching up on some of my blog reading I came across one of my Catholic blogger and I noticed the guest writer had written an article titled "Todd on Pope Obama Meeting" and as I read the title I supposed I gasped somewhat, then chuckled as I regained consciousness. It is a must read and you may find this article at this link.
I would like to include here before sending you off to the original text to give you just a taste of the article ----
"In their short meeting the Pope was given a gift from the Obama family of a toy model of Air Force One airplane, a jigsaw puzzle picture of the First Family and a collection of DVDs. (Stigmata, Cider House Rules, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Mad Max and copies of all Mel Gibson's films) The President had the opportunity to convey a special relic of Blessed Edward Kennedy and an autographed photograph of America's famous Catholic: Nancy Pelosi."
I am a very naive person and yet I found this article first shockingly morose and I in a stupefied state then realizing the author was playing a game of being sarcastic. There are many things I don't know about the Catholic Church sadly admitting this as being a lifelong Catholic. And yet, I would believe anything someone would write as written in the environment of the author of this article. I suppose the belief that President Obama just might do this stems from the "gifts" President Obama gave the Queen of England. Although, I couldn't imagine he would give the photo of Nancy Pelosi or a toy model of Air Force One, and I prayed "Please don't let it be so."
And, with that I take leave to allow you to draw your own conclusions after reading Todd Unctuous's report from Rome!

Butt watchers and Obama is a better Catholic than Pope
I find it quite amusing this morning as I read the blogs and headline news in several publication that both the female butt incident involving our President and the French president is still quite active as well as the insult to Pope Benedict and Catholics.
With regard to the Butt Watchers, there is a second photo which the press has made out to be a part of the Butt Watchers Photo Gallery which includes our President and the French President with the Italian President in the photo, but unfortunately for the Italian he was not involved in the Butt Watcher sequence. I am sure he felt left out afterwards when he realized what was going on! Does this mean the media's sacred infatuation with Obama is over and they've move on to more interesting situations with President Obama? Gee, I wonder what they failed to share from the past?
I almost fainted when I heard on Fox News yesterday afternoon that Maryland's Lt. Governor Townsend (daughter of Robert Kennedy) thinks President Obama is more of a Catholic than Pope Benedict! I've been a Catholic all my life and when I heard that statement I wondered which part of the Catholic Church she belongs to or has she started one that Barack has joined and has become the messiah? That would put to rest all the rumors of President Obama's supreme aura. We have gone from a Senator who sat in the Church listening to his pastor preach about the horrors of the United States and blame the white people and Jewish people for everything wrong in this world to that same Senator trying to make us believe he never heard the pastor preach any violent words. Now all of the sudden as President he has become a more Holier than Thou Catholic! Holy Cow! My dad would be rolling over in his grave! That's ten Our Fathers and ten Hail Marys.
Maybe we're in for a more interesting news reporting year than we expected since these Obama stimuli's are putting a strain on the world calculators and the totals aren't matching up. Butt Watching and Obama's promise to Pope Benedict to lower the abortion rate in the United States may not not be the ideal topics in the same sentence but both are interesting. Let's hope that President Obama wasn't lying to Pope Benedict about the abortion issue or his penance will be more than ten Our Father's and ten Hail Marys. Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging, just a Catholic observer voicing an opinion.

Video Clears Up Obama Photo
I must retract my previous post regarding President Obama and the wondering eye. It truly was a photo retouch of supreme proportions. This video tells it all.
I do apologize!
The President is Human after all!
If I needed a laugh for the day, this would have done the trick. I know, I know, the saying goes and I've heard it a dozen times from my husband - "when I stop looking, I'll be dead, so it's okay to look, just don't touch." What will Michelle think is another question since she isn't the one wearing the aluring sheer dress! What I think is even funnier is the look on the French President Nicolas Sarkozy's face!!!!
By the way, the girl President is giving the look at is only a 16 year old young lady from Rio. Here's just one of many links on this story I picked from Drudgereport.com.

I wonder how the "awful" media will handle that? How much crap and venom will pour forth from their little typing fingers!!!
We are with you Sarah - always. We pray for you and your family and always wish you well. You are in our prayers! We love you!
