My whole thing, when Obama said that, was that he wasn't speaking to any particular group. This happens everywhere and across all groups. I thought Jackson's comment that he was "talking down to black people" really missed the point. It's all about personal responsibility!<br><br>I applaud you for trying very hard to remain a presence in your girls' lives. It sounds like you've done that with the younger ones, and Skye...I guess you'll just have to keep working there!<br><br>Love "Pearls Before Swine," but I missed that strip! Very funny, and so true!<br><br>All my best,<br>Beth<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425569396822162863.post-82860694275557160132008-07-15T14:56:00.000-04:002008-07-15T14:56:00.000-04:00"we still need someone to fill the role Rev.

Jackson has played in the nation's moral compass."<br><br>Would that be the part where he admitted he fathered a "love child" in 1998... or the fact that he has a dirty mouth -- you know, "cut his nuts out"...... or perhaps, that he is a hypocrite.... you know, berating Barack when he thinks no one can hear and than "appologizing" when he is caught. The "Reverend" is all blow and no go. <br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425569396822162863.post-13090882861987250282008-07-15T16:34:00.000-04:002008-07-15T16:34:00.000-04:00good luck with the job, Mark!!

I get thwarted at every turn, and we are resolved to wait until they are young adults to reconnect (they are both teenagers now). <br><br>Good luck with work, 8 hours is doable, just pace yourself and do not come out of the gate to gung-ho :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
