Not Too Happy About Bidden

Is Joe Bidden a good running partner pick for Barack Obama? I guess only time will tell. But my answer is…..not! I once liked Joe Bidden. Not that I dislike him now. Many years ago I was watching him talking about something and I realized this guy likes to hear the sound of his own voice. I think listening to him talk about how the U.S. should respond to the September 11, 2001 tragedies made me have different feelings about him.

Other than disagreeing with Bidden and for that matter Obama on Afghanistan, American exceptionalism and imperialism, the biggest reason I think this may be a bad pick is that he will probably say something stupid and put his foot in his mouth. Like when he called Obama clean. If he is going to act as attack dog he is going to talk a lot. That gives more and more opportunity for him to make a mistake. Well like I said time will tell.

I guess the Hillary Clinton supporters who have not come over to barrack are pretty pissed. Like Cokie Roberts said, on the news show This Week, something like, there are plenty of old White guys for Obama to pick. I guess he had no choice there. But why did he have to pick one of the windiest of them all?

So now it is time for McCain to make his pick. Romney seems to be in the running. Ugh…I don’t really like him. For some reason he just seem weird to me. I would rather have him than Rudy G. Rudy is dangerous, very dangerous

Trying Again!

Hi Ya'll,

I'm going to try this again. I have not tried to blog in over a year. It's been so long that when I tried to blog here this morning it appeared blog.com was gone. The site seemd to be down, so I stated another blog at blogspot. Thank goodness this is still alive and kick'n.

So here I am again. I first tried in 2004 when my son was thinking about going in the Army. I did not keep it up. A lot has happened since then, like he went to Iraq for a year. He had a son, got married and had another son. So I am a grandfather. One child died from a genetic spinal degenerative disease. My son is out of the Army. He and his wife have split up and he is trying to go on with his life after this traumatic episode with marriage, war and death. he is doing OK, but he is thinking about working for a contractor KBR in Iraq.

Of course I am not happy about it, but one can only advise your children, they are going to do want they want.

So here I am again trying to blog and this time I hope I can keep it up.

I am prompted to try again by the Presidential race, specifically with Obama's VP pick Joe Bidden. More about that later.

So here we go.

peace
