All The Buzz

While sitting here this morning my wife brought me our morning newspaper with an article in it that was talking about a picture of Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle depicted as a Muslim and Terrorist.  Well….everyone knowing how I feel about these two I could not help but to perform an extensive search through Google to obtain a copy of this image. 

After viewing this image I had to sit back and sort of laugh at it, though, as I seen the political satire that was trying to be communicated here!  Ok…..let it rip cause I know it is coming from some of you!  However, Obama having ties to Muslim heritage and faith and his wife, Michelle, finally for the first time in her life “Proud To Be An American” I could see exactly why they laid this cartoon out the way that they did!  The photo in question was seen on the cover of The New Yorker.

Notice that there is an American Flag burning in the fireplace?  While I am not trying to make light of that I can see how the cartoonist might have come up with that and the whole scene as illustrated here!  I mean who could forget that ear piercing speech from Michelle Obama about her finally being proud to be an American.  Personally, I have been proud to be an American all my life and it certainly has not required anyone that I know to being nominated for a Presidential Candidate to bring me to that statement.

Although, I personally find the burning of the American Flag tasteless and somewhat irritating…..I can see the point that was trying to be derived in this characture portrait.  We all know what and where the Senator’s last name came from so it would only be meaningful to have him dressed accordingly and of course if Michelle Obama is just now finally becoming proud as an American then prior to her husband receiving the Democratic Party’s nod of approval she must have been against the U.S.A.

Enjoy It While It Last

So for the many pro Obama supporter’s around the world….all I can say is enjoy the ride while it last!  Although this man may seem to be somewhat of an Icon in the news and throughout many homes around the world…..the truth of the matter is that his true colors are going to be revealed one layer at a time and we are going to find out which one of the bleeds through the front of his so called “Time for Change” rhetoric. 

Oh yes….I know that there will be those who suggest that I should not attack Obama personally and without regards to their heritage and such, however, I am not the one who made the statements.  So…..before you even get off on that little kick…..go to the ones who made them! 

Time For A Change or Times Have Changed

Interesting heading and topic here! Yes it is time for a change as well as times have changed.  We all want change in America and indeed times have certainly changed!  However, what is needed is a person to run this country who is firm in their stand and commitment to bringing America back to where we used to be!  A lot has changed since the early days of our country and what our Forefather’s laid out for this country!  However, with so much of our society becoming relaxed and so called “Politically Correct” we have allowed the very moral integrity of our great nation to be persecuted and mocked by groups that choose to make the very things that grew our nation nothing more than a mockery and laughing act!

I, personally, do not want to find myself standing before God having to answer why this happened and even more important ……why did so many of us stand by idle while this all took place!  Who would have ever known that the very simple phrases we use such as “God Bless America” or “In God We Trust” would become compromised and on the verge of extinction within our country!  What has caused this to happen?  Why was it allowed to happen? What can we do to change it?  These are some very interesting questions and tough ones at that if we truly dig into the depths of our hearts to find the answers. 

Most of us know the truth to these question’s but the issue at hand is what are we going to do with them and are we prepared to pay the piper if we choose not too!  You decide!  Our country’s very existence is upon each and every one of us and time is growing shorter with each and every passing day!
