Obama's book...

Pay particular attention to the issue categories...especially Values, Biracial Identity Crisis.
This in particular would speak to the children of mixed marriages?

Even if a voice came down from the heavens proclaiming Obama as the finest man extant y'all would still be criticizing him, lighten up.
And didn't you say he was not your president, make up you minds.

I think you have your posts mixed up. I said he was the elected president...not America.
I don't proclaim to know it all. The post also had information on MANY books...his being just one.

If rio can pull this off, & manage not to make a hash of it, they will sorta then be in the "Big League' of the world's cities. Atlanta blew it, their local crookery-led by Mayor Bill Campbell- tried to steal a little TOO much. And the bombings didn't help. Rio has a pretty big crime problem, I hope they can solve it, or at least get it under control. Down there, I think they take care of crime the old-fashioned way-they take their crooks out back & shoot 'em. Something to be said for that...

Money?

Not too sure about that. Maybe short term glory, but money required to stage the Olympics v income from the Olympics? It's a two edged sword.

A portion of my former post...
Some people consider Obama AMERICA instead of the president and if you disagree with his policies or actions...you are against America...not so.

Disagreement is guaranteed in a free Republic. Thank God for that.
The president is not America. He was elected and has his advisers to help him set forth his agenda's. We pay the salaries of all the Reps in DC. They work for US. Try telling your boss that...and you're in trouble...heh heh See the diff.
But the only opinion some people will accept is their own.

I think I understand what you're saying. I think we're saying the same thing. It's not right, but when I said Bush was wrong I was called un-American. Now some of the same people who called me that now disagree with Obama. And you don't have to bother saying "I never called anyone un-American for disagreeing with Bush". Funny. No one will admit they said it. Maybe we all dreamed it.
