I'm Embarrassed too!

I listened with amusement to Senator Obama's speech in Georgia before an adoring crowd from LULA, or something like that. The piece d' resistance of course, was hearing the Senator telling us all that he was embarrassed by Americans in Europe who do not know European languages, and seem only to be able to say,thank you, in French. Such arrogant condescension on display in public only reinforces the belief that he and his wife are truly not proud of the America they call their home. It is true after all, isn't it? When the teleprompter is off, what you see, and hear, is exactly what we will get if this man is elected to be our president. My prediction is that the adoring crowds will still be there, but sooner than later, most of America will come to better know this man who would lead us. By the way, my grandchildren will learn a second language, but it will be a language of their choice, and not the good Senator's.

There will be more gaffes galore, you may count on it. This man simply can not help himself when he stands before a microphone with no script in hand. His soaring rhetoric soars only to the top of his head, and no higher. Another thing I can not help thinking, is comparing his ideas of America with those of former President Reagan. What a difference! Narcissism is not worn well on any man, not even Senator Obama. There is not an ounce of humility in his body, and that is very sad, and very dangerous for us as well.

In a way though, it isn't really that bad, for his every day actions, and words, make my job of educating the children that much easier. Before I forget, will someone tell the Senator to give me a call please? My grandson who will be entering kindergarten this September, still wants to know where, exactly, are the the other 7 States the Senator has visited. He knows his states, knows there are only 50, and is so perplexed by it all. Can anyone help us?...
