… his mother and grandparents would be so dang proud.

remember when his grandmother passed just before the 2008 election? in the old indigenous ways, it is recognized that when an honored one passes and a huge event immediately follows - the spirit and the energy of the honored one lights the way for the individual directly involved in the touchstone event: the new child born, or another to pass, or a marriage to take place, or a person to become a leader.

I remember being a young girl with family watching TV and knowing my parents were scared to death about the Cuban Missile crisis. I felt in my heart that they knew the president had the strength to get us through it.

When I judge a president or a candidate,that's what I have to know. Would he/ she have the strength to get us through it.

I believe Obama has demonstrated that yes,he does possess that strength. He is the best president of my adult lifetime.
