My thoughts....

For the past month I've read opinion polls, blogs from the associated press, numerous articles, blogs of my florist friends and my close friends.
They all have different opinions on who should be elected president. Now most of you know that I was born a Democrat. But I have been one to jump the fence a time or two. There were times I voted for the person and not along party lines.
I have come to the conclusion where some folks just couldn't bring their self to vote for a black man.....I don't really care what color the person is.
I was raised to look past the color of a mans skin. I don't care if Obama is a little green man from mars. If he has the ability to lead this country out of the mess that we're in, then I will support him. From what I've read, he thinks things through, he's not hot headed, doesn't rush to a decision and he doesn't define himself as a black candidate, but as a United States citizen.
Is the road going to be easy, No...look back in history--to Abraham Lincoln at his road blocks, to FDR who had the reins during the depression and just a few years back George Bush had to deal with 9/11.
Being president is not an easy 9 to 5 job.
I've read John McCain book, "Faith of my Fathers". He's truly an American Hero. I have the utmost respect for him for his courage during the Vietnam War. Being held as a POW for over five years. Could he lead our country out of this pit that we are in? Many labeled him a Bush man...
this country can't go through another four more years.
In September the unemployment rate was 6.1, October it was 6.5. Just the other day GM was wondering if the government could bail them out if they continue in a downward spiral. Where does it end?
Now to Michelle's wardrobe.....we all have our own dress codes. She doesn't seem to be the type who spends $2500 for a nice suit and that's just the cost of the jacket and not the skirt. She told Jay Leno that she shops at J. Crew. I have spent enough money at J.Crew for my daughters that they should give me my own stock. I see nothing wrong with what she wears. I think they all looked great on Tuesday night. I'm sure the news media will keep us posted on all her outfits...
These are just my opinions, just like you have your opinion...that's one of the great things about living in the United States of America!
