I have wondered at times about Obamalala's casual, weak response to any Islamic, terrorist attack on America. Or, why he seems to be so anti-American. After all he has benefited from it's greatness. In Forbes Dinesh D'Souza's article linked below is the most definitive, eye opener I have read to date. I have heard far left liberals wondering about where he is coming from at times. Where he is coming from is a grave in Kenya. "America today is governed by a ghost".

rld - yes VERY interesting perspective.

Kim,
Unfortunately there is so much on television that is manufactured; explosions, crowd scenes, etc. the generation who did not actually witness this will never view it exactly as we who did go through it, witness it. It is good to show them but I am afraid it will be viewed as the Holocaust is, something bad that happened a lot time ago and has no relevance to us in the present time. This may not be true in your household but so many have seen so much in movies and TV that it will be hard to get the true feelings we all experienced at the time and now.

"Obama writes that "I sat at my father's grave and spoke to him through Africa's red soil." In a sense, through the earth itself, he communes with his father and receives his father's spirit."

Sounds like a scientology type nut to me.

In 2012 we need to send him back to Kenya to talk all he wants to his dad's spirit for good. The teleprompter might get in the way though. "Father. I. was. booted. out. of. the. White House. after. one. term. Any. more...good...ideas.

Kim-
My wife and I sat and watched 102 Minutes on 9/11 on the History Channel, while our 2 children played. Our oldest was only 5 months old at the time of the attacks, and our youngest wasn't even a glimmer in my eye. They would look at the TV every now and then, and one of them would ask "why is there smoke coming out of those buildings?" "Why are the firefighters running?" and about other things that in their innocence they did not understand. It was a difficult thing to answer them; after all, how do you convey and explain the magnitude of such an event to a 5 year old? They both got extra tight good night hugs that night.
