I don't know....Obama is a smooth talker for sure, and most of what he says sounds good, but while he's saying this , our country is dropping bombs in Pakistan & fixing to escalate a war in Afghanistan.
The religious chat kind of freaks me out.... especially since Obama (2-5-09) signed an executive order to expand Bush's faith based programs.

I guess I just feel like Obama is waffling on things - he spoke against the faith based programs while running for office.

I am just not head over heels with him, because his actions are not always matching up with his words.
As he closed his address with a schpeal about diplomacy....I can't understand his justification to spend billions on more wars.

Fran:::
I know ...I hear you...about the faith based - Under Bush- ONLY certain Religous programs/faithes were allowed to participate ( ie no Hindu, No Buddhist, only certain Muslim etc)...I can not explain the Afganistan plan- I don't understand it enough...and no I don't agree...but to hear Someone talk diplomacy- after 8 years of Bush and his fricking axis of evil I am just glad to hear those words...

Fran:::
no worries...It is my birthday this week too...so I have been spread too thin and not able to visit much this week...and behind on blogging...sorry..Have a wonderful birthday....eat some cake for me...

;-)

Doh! Annette is having the birthday-- not me.

I do like Obamsa words.... but his actions are not always matching up.
