Initial Thoughts

So....this is my third attempt at "blogging." My first shot at "blogging" failed after three entries...my second made it to five. Both times I have tried opposite extremes. The first blog was intended to be composed of deep theological posts that wowed the reader and put an end to any debate; the second was to be a hodge podge of happenings in my life with my fiancee at the time (who is now my bride....yea me!) This time around...I have it solved. My blog will be a chameleon. It will take on the color of my mind prior to that given entry. Some posts might be short, event-laden blurbs pertaining to the epic adventure that is my life (riiiigghhtt). Others may quite become a lexicon of knowledge, unveiled in the very face of tomfoolery, laughing insistently at the reader as they fail to plum the depths of the post's proponderence ( I hope none of that made sense, but I think you get the point). I am just an average guy with an above average itch to write...and this will soon become my hydrocortisone. This is my Whirling Derbish.

That being said, let me address my first issue.

Political assumptions are made on a regular basis. From the booth voter in some no name county Mississippi to the Suits on Capital Hill, all those who boast to be in the "know" regarding all things political make certain assumptions. One of those assumptions is that the President of the United States of America has America's best interest in mind. This may very well be the case of the present; however, yesterday's events suggest otherwise. In fact, yesterday's events display that the venerable Commander-in-Chief is not as "clued in" as he should be. When asked if he knew about the flyover of Air Force One in Manhattan, Pres. Obama claimed "he did not know." I get the critic's responses about him not being behind the wheel and that he has other "larger," more current, issues on his plate. Even so, how clearly should this resonate with each American? The leaders of our nation thought it appropriate to FLY A LARGE PLANE OVER DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN. Are we serious? I was beside myself when I saw the news reports. CNN, as they always do, quickly spun the footage into a Obama-supporting direction. The clips clearly showed frightened people fleeing their offices and places of employment and running for their lives. Forget who needs to take responsibility for the arrangement of the flyover, the real discussion should be how quickly we have forgotten what happened on 9/11. People can condemn Bush all they want, throw him under the bus and say he was uneducated and unqaulified. But none can say that he put the interests of the American people aside on that dark day. He was real, he was concerned, he was an American. I shutter to see what America's future holds.
