I think for me is that I didn't need Obama to go to MIssissippi to do anything right now as what could he really do. I also and I may have missed it haven't seen him on television giving some speach . I know he is doing what he can behind the scence. It shouldn't be campaigning or self serving. We all know where these two go they represent election. Right now we don't need that. I'm sure that these people will take help from all parties and all people. I think the post who things all Obama supporters are welfare people is really a sad person. I guess the other night when he gave that speach over 80,000 people where just welfare people bussed in. I think ou are just wanting to attack people not for what they say but who you think they are. Who do you know here. I'm typing away with my feelings or ideas and you don't know me. I do know this after anything that happens in America we all come together just lke 911 just like Katrina and we will again and it will not matter who you will vote for. That is what we do as Americans.

I'm really sorry to read about your diagnosis. Prayers that you have good doctors and care and that you achieve a full recovery.

Thank you. It's scary to have something like this happen in the middle of a long vacation, but life is full of surprises, isn't it. I could have done without this particular surprise but I'm still glad we made the trip out here. I always wanted to attend a national convention, and I had a great time. The odds are I won't get another chance, so I'm glad I took the opportunity when I could.

And now I'm in a position to help out in an emergency--and maybe this sounds corny but getting out there and actually doing something is a lot better than sitting on my couch being mad at the world. We hope to be part of a delivery caravan being organized by a local church, dropping our delivery in Arkansas. That doesn't change our drive home all that much.
