I've been away, as y'all know, but its so refreshing to come back to blogging. I've been at Essential Presence catching up on her various political posts. Can somebody hire this girl as a political pundit?! Can she have her own podcast? Her posts are always fun and funny to read. You can check it out too!
I still have so many other blogs to catch up on. Will be stopping by your blog very soon!
A bunch of friends gathered together after the celebratory meal, this past Sunday, to shmooze at my place. The conversation turned to what is going on in America. What with Fanny mae and various other big companies in need of bail outs. All that talk made me wonder, who in their right mind would want to be president of the USA at the moment? What a big challenge they'd be up against. Could that be why all the candidates are those who are inexperience? All the experienced ones are hiding and would not touch this situation with a ten foot pole?

Miriam, it is a hell of a situation and many economists are truly fearful.
And you know the saying: "When America sneezes, the rest of the world gets a cold."
This time the fear is: America is going to do more than "sneeze," it's gonna catch a full-blown cold, or maybe pneumonia, or something worse.
The impact of this on us, and the world, is unimaginable.
I'm not a fear-monger, but a heap of directed prayers won't hurt.
"Inexperienced"? Well let's say possessing "limited experience."
Some American's are seeing this as a good thing.
It could be argued, that it was those experienced politicians--members of the Good Ol' Boys Club--that got us into this revolting development in the first place.
If any one of them stepped up--it would be like asking the problem-makers to become the problem- solvers.
I think what many American's are looking for, this time around, are those with new ideas, not beholding to special interests, and are willing to depart with the political culture of the past, and find solutions that will work for Americans, rather than lobbyists.
If you've been in the congress for a dozen years or so, or the governor of a state--then you have almost automatically disqualified yourself.
At least that seemed to have been true for Democrats. Many an old politician got passed over in favor of the new kid on the block--Obama.
But, there's so many facets to the election this time around, that who will win--Obama-Biden, or McCain-Palin--is still too close to call.
what yawl eat.
Black Diaspora,
Thanks for this breakdown. This situation is pretty serious. Sometimes I feel even the look of USA is different. But I know everything is running as usual, just there is suspense in the air (yes?).
Wow. To want change so badly that the American people are willing to take a chance on change -that is rare!
But good. I pray for good things for America and Americans. Only good, please God.

It is mind blowing. But I like! I really appreciate your perspective. I had to read and re-read this.
Very interesting and different perspective. Also, true that the media will not tell us the REAL important news.
