Obama and his new dog

I just saw on the news about the promise President elect Obama made to his daughters about getting them a new dog when they move to the White House. Let's rally behind the cause and send a message for them to adopt a rescue dog from a shelter and show the country that we care about the plight of the homeless dogs and cats across this country.

A great time for everyone

This is truly a great time in our nation and world. A lot of firsts and now a first African American as President.

People will truly have to get with the times and those that are stuck back in the past will just have to quite using race and sex to get anywhere.

One thing I just cannot stand is people using their race for or against in anything and now they will not have the excuse of race as a way to say they have been down trodden. I think race is a thing of the past and too many times in recent years people have been using race not to hold others back but to complain and explain why they can't get ahead.

Pick yourself up and make your own way through life, don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Look where it got our newest President.

Don't use your race, sex or anything about you as a negative or a way to get ahead, use your talent, intelligence and hard work to do things and get things done.

VOTE

Everyone should vote in a couple of days, there is no excuse and no reason. If you don't vote for someone you want to see in office at least vote against someone you don't want in office.

Yes, while this is backwards you may not think of voting against someone its better than not voting. To not vote for someone or against another someone means you just don't care enough to stop by on the way to or from work and make a diffrence in who is running your government.

If you say your vote doesn't matter I say you should be looking at who you don't want in office and vote for the other guy. This way at least someone will not make it into office because enough people either wanted the other guy or at least not him.

So vote.
