Thanks for the comment. I've been enjoying your blog. I'm just a believer in small government. I kind of think that government does a lousy job of things (well, maybe it's just people in general, but government goes above and beyond in inefficiency, waste, and just plain suckiness). I consider myself a libertarian. So that puts me at odds with a lot of President Obama's plans. But you know what? I don't know that anyone could stop this train wreck. I'm just waiting to see. That said, it was kind of unlike me to post that. I don't want to be a political blog and I'm not good at handling flaming, you know? I'm trying on my super hero persona, to see if she can hack it as a blogger. No pun intended. See you around :) Hey you! Thanks for the comment. I’ve been enjoying your blog.

Word. I hate hearing white folks say they're 'colorblind' because 1. they're lying and 2. that point of view is absolutely rooted in a position of privilege. Great post, though now I'm curious about on what issues you find yourself in opposition to the president's views. “I get to say, “I don’t see color.” Because my family history is not fraught with abuse and pain.”

This was just another step in that direction. Yes, it would be wonderful if this were just another man being sworn in as President – but someday it will be that way.

Great leaders don't perform great tasks, they display the leadership that people crave that causes People to act in great ways." this friend happens to be hawaiian, dutch, catholic turned muslim and a member of the armed services. history was made yesterday on many levels. beautifully said Jennifer. i have a friend who voted on the Democrat ticket for the first time this presidential election. he sent me an email that was really powerful – he was annoyed with the pundits and their comments about all that Obama was going to do. his response was, “It is not “what HE will do as president, it is what he will inspire US to do as Americans or Human Beings.
