OBAMA !

Just in case you all were wondering how I spent my Friday today, I will tell you.

In case you were extremely bright and thought to yourself "I am not going to waste time attempting to read a statement from someone who neglected to use the space bar," I'll repeat myself.

I went to San Francisco to watch Obama speak.
It was great fun.
I went with some friends from school and two of my teachers.
We sat in the balcony at the civic center.
We all cheered for everything.
......except abortion.

It was hilarious.

He'd start talking about health care or benefits to single mothers, or day care, or dependency on foreign oil, or executive integrity, and we'd stand and clap until our hands hurt. We would be clapping and cheering while trying to listen to what he was saying, so he'd slip in something or other about how the Supreme Court doesn't have the right to make decisions for women and doctors and we'd sort of dwindle down our clapping and cheering and then awkwardly sit/stand there and mutter/shrink down in our seats. Crickets chirped among us a couple of times.
--maybe you'd have to be there....

ANYWAYS, now that I mentioned that, I'll also mention that I won't be voting for Barack.
I cheered for most things, mostly because it would be very lovely for mothers and workers to be cared for and for everyone to receive health care.
.....It just wouldn't be lovely (in my opinion) for the Federal Government to implement these sort of policies. Other notes on his speech/the rally would be:
-Obama is an incredible speaker.
-He is idealistic.
-He is kinda a socialist.
-He seems to really care about people.
-He is good at "hanging lanterns on his problems"
-He's good at making friendly little "jabs" at Hillary.
-I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him.
-I got a cute little button that says, "OBAMA"
-I put my cute little button on my back pack (its actually more of a messenger bag than a back pack).

it was a fun day...

Oh, so much to say. I'll keep it short.

It's great to help people out, and there is no lack of people in US and the world who fit the criteria. But when we assume the role of Robin Hood by taking from some to give to others, it becomes an immoral action. What we need is generosity that comes from the love of Jesus Christ in us, not State-mandated theft. Remember what Bastiat says about false philanthropy.

please question obama's devotion to our nation if he will not properly salute our nation's flag... he is a socialist, undoubtedly... gifted, certainly, so many are, and dangerous beyond your wildest beliefs...
