I'm still praying for the safety of everyone associated with the White House.

I know, me too. I remember the day JFK was shot and exactly how I felt, even at the age of 12. It was one of the most horrid days of my life. Not so much because my parents backed him, but just having it happen, knowing the hate goes to that level.

I know all president's have threats, but Obama has many more threats than most do. I was not happy when that couple made their way into a White House affair... did not feel that Obama and his family are being protected as good as can be.

And he finished strongly with the most beautiful words: "You may want “your country back,” but you can’t have it. That sound you hear is the relentless, irrepressible march of change. Welcome to America: The Remix."

WOOO HOOO! SO thats what I have been hearing...my gut can feel like its kicked in but as long as I hear the sounds of change, I know the old is breaking off and the new is being chiseled strongly in place....

Ijust caught this on yahoo...refering to Sarah Palin "Now a Fox News analyst and potential 2012 presidential candidate, Palin faced criticism after posting a map on her Facebook page that had circles and cross hairs over 20 Democratic districts. She also sent a tweet saying, "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!"

She said Saturday she wasn't inciting violence, just trying to inspire people to get involved."

really? RELOAD isnt inciting violence?

Oh my goodness....this is not going to be getting any better, is it?

She is sooooooo nuts! But scary in that she does draw out the right-wing extremists in a way that they feel comfortable using racist, et. al. slurs and posters with Obama as Hitler, etc. She gives them license by being what is considered to be a viable candidate and spokeswoman for common folk.[I]Circles and cross hairs [/I]plus RELOAD and she doesn't get that this incites violence? Wait, of courswe she doesn't....

she is a very dangerous person. We can poke fun at her all we want, but she is by no means powerless...AND ... those IN power are grooming her carefully. My biggest fear is that she will win the next presidential race. When she quit being governor and was being very quiet about her plans, I Knew she was being offered something beyond her immediate power. The mutiny wont come with this president..the mutiny will come with her as president...

Default I agree with Softness and AtLastHome...

Sarah Palin is going to have to be reckoned with...that is a certainty. Yes, she calls out the extremists but does so in an unbelievably uncanny way. She pumps 'them' up...sort of incites the old riot...and then seizes more of a powerbase. The Tea Party has money. Lots of it. And it is a powerbase whether we like it or not. She was paid a handsome fee for her keynote speech only to donate it back to her cause. She is a talking head with a whole lot of clout from the right wing and she is positioning herself quite well at this point in time. The media joins in the ranks and 'projects' the general population as seeing President Obama in an unfavorable light thus making it fertile ground for someone of Palin's character (or lack thereof) to lock in the powerbases. I thought my days of political activism had moved to the back burner...but the thought of Palin even running on a ticket makes me want to step up to the plate and re-think what to do with my time, money and talent.

Actually, I have always viewed her as dangerous because of the grooming she was given and still is. I knew we were not going to see the last of her after MCCain lost. Oh, no, she is not powerless and the tide is ripe for a backlash to stop Obama in getting re-elected. After seeing Reagan elected Govenor of CA and then elected as president for two terms as well as GW Bush, I believe she could end up president. Obama is the exception in having intellect.

Very fine article- love this from it....

Even the optics must be irritating. A woman (Nancy Pelosi) pushed the health care bill through the House. The bill’s most visible and vocal proponents included a gay man (Barney Frank) and a Jew (Anthony Weiner). And the black man in the White House signed the bill into law. It’s enough to make a good old boy go crazy.

Thanks, Diva!
