Tonite Obama Forgot God

OOPS! I just saw on the Democratic Convention coverage that they Dems forgot to put God in their platform and they forgot to recognize Jerusalem as the property of Israel. They revamped the platform to unomit such important matters. It seems funny to me that with all the experts and professionals and 35,000 or some such number of delegates that that was an omission. My mind is spinning with the possibilities here.

Is it possible that they no longer feel they need to call on God? Is it possible that  the thousands of years old controversy about who gets to claim Jerusalem was too much of a situation to take on? Was this a deliberate slap in the face to the Jewish people? Do the Dems renounce God? Was there sabotage? Did someone on the inside delete the important words? The possibilities are endless. My dear sainted mother observed that as things got worse and worse for Bill Clinton in his presidency, the bigger the Bible he was photographed carrying to church on Sundays. Where is Obama's Bible? What is the message here?


But really, can we find more nits to pick? Tonight Bill Clinton "hit it out of the ball park" by talking intelligently, about the real stuff. (they still won't talk about foreign policy, but that's a given this election) He talked to both the intellect and the emotions. He got that balance I was speaking of yesterday. He spoke of higher values; community, compromise to reach goals, the common good.



We need to dream large. But we need to work to make the dreams come true. I think of people saying affirmations every day. This is a positive act. "I am beautiful and successful." Nice. But if they aren't putting in the leg work to set in motion the causes of beauty and success, is this just magical thinking?  I  know that positive thinking works wonders especially if you are low, but some exercise and good food also helps. You get my gist.



My friend Tucker made a vow some years back that if the American people were dumb enough to re-elect Little Bush he would leave the country for good. They were. He did. I am starting to have that feeling about Mitt. Soon more and more other countries are going to be having the problem of how to deal with all the immigrants coming from the USA. We, the people, need to "hit it out of the ball park" and regain our mojo.
