It angers me when a response like yours gets buried in my email avalanche ...

Some days my email flow is so heavy, that I miss some responses. Yours was one of two. I try to respond back to everyone who has the courtesy to communicate with me. You sent your response on the 20th of last month, and I just now found it. My apologies.

Yours was a very intelligent response - both of them. I remember you and wished that you had commented back. My mistake.

Anyway, as for Obama, he has already reneged on many of his big time promises and still hasn't taken office yet. His cabinet choice sare very telling. He puts some opponents in place so as to round out his input on how to run his presidency. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is a terrible choice, and will have terribe consequences for all. She is a liar of the highest magnitude. She is a very clever and accomplished liar, which in the international community is going to get her and her nation in a lot of trouble.

Anybody who runs for office is exactly who he/she was for the previous 20 - 30 years. I'm sorry, but that is a fact. We do have to make the best of a bad situation, admittedly. That doesn't mean we should go into it with blind allegiance. I know who Obama is, who he has associated with very closely all his life, and what he has said in his own books and with his own mouth. That all speaks to exactly where his leanings will be in the office of the presidency. Wishing him luck or "giving him a break" is something you do with your children - not the president of the United States. There are going to be massive consequences to his total allegiance with abortion, totally wide open borders with all countries in our continent (and resultant rights of all legal citizens), and absolute buy-in with gay rights. His close connections with proven terrorists is going to be costly for this deluded nation.
