YES!!!

President Barack Hussein Obama.

That sounds great! I love that he kept his middle name for the inauguration. 48 years ago the world was a very different world. I hope that the modern Muslim world will appreciate the courage it took to keep that middle name, as an American. (I love that a kind and gentle Heavenly Father has a sense of humor.) I love that Americans, 80%, support him, even if they didn't vote for him. I love that he inspires us to be better, do more, look more deeply.

As a family we are keeping a "Golden Rule" calendar to record the service we do. Last night for FHE I read his letter to his girls to SKJN & M. So far it is doors open and sharing juice boxes, cheerfully helping around the house.

Loved the music at the ceremony! "Yo-Yo Ma along with Itzhak Perlman on violin, Gabriela Montero on piano and Anthony McGill on clarinet performed the new work composed by John Williams, 'Air and Simple Gifts.'" Aaron Copeland's, "Simple Gifts" was so perfect! Piano, clarinet, cello and violin! The poetry was great but the reading was odd. As if the punctuation was. Off.

ONWARD.

Cheney looked like a sick and twisted, iniquitous, feeble, decrepit Voldemort. Hope time reveals his crimes and that he is alive to receive his judgment... he will eventually. Bush looked like he had another good night of sleep (The former :) president always went to bed at 9:30?! No wonder were are in such a mess.) -- how did the country elect him TWICE?

ONWARD.

H is for Hussein.

I was asked today if I'd buy a Mormons for Obama t-shirt. Hmmm. YES!
Loved the discussion on the blog. Left the following comment:

Oh dear... should I jump in? Great dialog. I've had people yell at me over any mention of the ills of Palin. (Don't get that.) This t-shirt idea & this discussion motivated me to mow the front lawn and put up my Obama yard sign. Tomorrow I'm going to wear my "Obama Mama" pin... bold moves in Utah County.

At C's new office one woman almost fainted when she heard he is a Democrat. (True.)

Stephen Hussein: Julie is my good pal in NYC!

I don't get the Democrat raising taxes argument... Anyone see what the Bush Clan is cooking up to solve Wall Street's woes? That isn't R or D -- it is crazy and we'll all be paying for it for years. If I recall, for all his foibles Clinton wasn't so hard on the budget.

What is Republican about the debt that is growing and growing and GROWING? The endless war? Failing schools? Failing infrastructure? How about the Hot, but inexperienced, negligent mother for VP nominee? Grandma Ream and Uncle Bud wouldn't recognize the party.

Palin, the mother and a member of AoG (a faith that routinely says that Mormons are going to rot in hell?) makes me so ill... that "hot chick" thing especially. That McSame chose her tells me what he thinks of the American people, on many levels. My fear is that he is right and people will vote for Her/them. Mo-bama's, Obama Mamas, Everyone who wants things to get better needs to speak up for Obama/Biden.

Back to the shirts: Would you like C and I to work on it tonight? (My dear graphic designer friend is one who yelled at me--Wacky republican? Saying all sorts of lies about Obama. I sent her (calmly) to factcheck.com and snopes.com)
Are you taking orders? I am forwarding this to my conservative friends, that means Mormon Democrats. You know the type: we believe in family (parents raising their own children), no debt, fair health care coverage, good education, diplomacy, a strong dollar.
