WE CAUGHT A GLIMPS OF PRESIDENT OBAMA IN HIS MOTERCADE ON THE WAY TO THE JAY LENO SHOW YESTERDAY!

We were walking our dog yesterday when some of our neighbors who were in the know told us they were walking to an intersection where the President's limo were due to pass on the way to filming the Jay Leno Show.  So we walked with them and sure enough the police were barricading the streets.  We were impressed with how coordinated it all was and how fast it all went.  Our neighbor first pointed to certain helicopters in the sky and said that one of them was a decoy.  Within about fifteen minutes we saw the President's car and, as we were on the side of the passenger seat and the windows were dark tinted, we saw the president through the window.  There was no doubt it was President Barak Obama!  He really is distinctive looking.  Before this vehicle there were a lot of motorcycle cops and behind him an SUV with a man or who bearing arms - sharpshooters no doubt.  But the crowd - kids and dogs too - all waved and we could see he was smiling.

It was all so neighborly, and so unlike the typical city experience.

PRESIDENT OBAMA : THOSE DIPLOMATS KILLED IN LIBYA WERE THE VERY BEST OF OUR COUNTRY

"This tragic attack takes place at a time of turmoil and protest in many different countries," Mr. Obama said. "I have made it clear that the United States has a profound respect for people of all faiths. We stand for religious freedom, and we reject the denigration of any religion - including Islam. Yet there is never any justification for violence. There is no religion that condones the targeting of innocent men and women. There is no excuse for attacks on our Embassies and Consulates." - President Obama

PRESIDENT OBAMA SPEAKS IN LOS ANGELES and THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is MORE THAN 12 %

I'm wondering if McDONALD'S the fast food burger restaurant announced that they were hiring on the EXACT SAME DAY as OBAMA'S VISIT did that to give evidence to a "recovery." President Obama was in Los Angeles for the afternoon two days ago, on Thursday the 21st of April, 2011.

A friend of ours tells us that 3000 people showed up at a Glendale California McDonald's to apply, some getting there the night before to apply!

The UNEMPLOYMENT LINES of the GREAT DEPRESSION are with us!

CHER quoted from DECEMBER 2010 VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE

page 221...

"A large portion of Cher's charitable work is devoted to veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I was buying helmet inserts for the guys who were in Iraq. Football players have more protection on their heads than the guys over there do."

ONE OF HER IMMEDIATE GOALS IS TO JOIN OBAMAS' VETERANS TASK FORCE.

The outspoken Cher said...

"I would be willing to pay a lot more taxes, because I make a lot more money, but I don't want to give them more to just ...things up more... It really should fall on people like me to get together and do things to help the people in this country. If you're not worrying about how to put food on your table, you (should be) worrying about why other people don't have food on their table. I remember a great American where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas."

CESAR CHAVEZ DAY Link here

"Chavez left a legacy as an educator, environmentalist, and a civil rights leader. And his cause lives on. As farm workers and laborers across America continue to struggle for fair treatment and fair wages, we find strength in what Cesar Chavez accomplished so many years ago. And we should honor him for what he's taught us about making America a stronger, more just, and more prosperous nation. That's why I support the call to make Cesar Chavez's birthday a national holiday. It's time to recognize the contributions of this American icon to the ongoing efforts to perfect our union."

Senator Barack Obama March 31, 2008.

As you know, this blog is against Illegal Immigration. The Farm workers struggle for fair pay for back breaking work often falls into the category of "JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO" That is if you are President Bush. We aren't for exploiting people... and we WANT THE COST OF GROCERIES TO REMAIN LOW don't we? SO WHAT GIVES? We have programs that allow some immigrants to become citizens faster because they take work like this, but once they are citizens guess what they are to be paid? MINIMUM WAGE.

Oh this problem is complicated.

Who is really at fault? We want to eat a variety of foods including fruits and vegetables... right? Organic?

I would really like to hear from some readers on this issue.

Incase you missed it PRESIDENT OBAMA's STATE OF THE UNION speech 2010

BON JOVI LIVING ON A PRAYER

You GOTTA HAVE A CAR ! STUCK ON A BUS TO NOWHERE!

YOU GOTTA HAVE A CAR...

We say this knowing that Obama's junker car program brought a lot of old vehicles in off the roads but that this has not necessarily stimulated new car purchases or manufacturing.

Having taking the buses for some time now in an effort to not only save money but be ecologically correct, I have found that it takes so much time to get around that what used to take one Saturday off running around to stores, nail parlor, hairdresser, shoe repair, library - all those errands, now takes days. Any business that is not on a bus line or more than a block walk has lost my business.

And finding and keeping a job using public transportation is well, LIMITING...

It's a limit I cannot afford.

HOW ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU STUCK ON THE BUS TO NOWHERE ?

"HONEST ABE" LINCOLN

Good old Abraham Lincoln... "Honest Abe" who walked miles to return a few cents change due a customer...

Will President Obama really be another Abraham Lincoln?

President Obama has already told us that economic recovery won't be easy or take place quickly. Meanwhile, every day more layoffs are announced that effect thousands... Best Buy, Starbucks...
