“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the
strongman stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short
again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming,
but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high
achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
“Citizenship in a Republic,”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
I am very proud to have voted for the American Hero
and I am very proud to be an American
I can honestly say this is an historic win for Obama!
I keep hearing these words in my head “The chickens have come home to roost”.
I never heard of that saying until The Rev Wright said it.
I had to look it up last year because I did not know what it meant.
I believe that.
AND it is time for This Man at This Time… on so many levels
Let’s, all of us, find those people that do not feel like real Americans
and help them FEEL like real Americans. It is time
Let’s help them BE real Americans too.
I am still having a bit of trouble with the spreading the wealth around…
but that won’t affect hubby and me, either way… we are not rich enough… or poor enough.
I will offer this advice though, be very careful with your money, prices are going to go UP on everything.
so if there is something you WANT now, this is probably the cheapest you will find it, go get it.
We will have stagnation, followed by inflation. (hmmm new custom skates?)
Have a fun week everyone I am leaving for Tenn in a few hours
no more quotes for a while. Go find your own! 
I have a zillionbillionmillion things to do.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
God Bless Obama
you are loved always by moi
