At the top, I do want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with folks who are dealing with Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf, and to let them know that we are going to be coordinating with state and local officials to ...

Jan 4, 2023 · A friend of mine said this about Barack Obama right after he was elected in 08-- He'll be the Jackie Robinson of presidents. Jackie Robinson was a hell of a baseball player, but these days he's mostly remembered for being the first black guy to play in the white league.

I was disappointed by some of his domestic policies, especially conserving the environment and LGBT rights (he didn’t support legalizing gay marriage until he was re-elected in 2012 and he relied on the Supreme Court to legalize it rather than action on his own).

Dec 6, 2021 · People loved Bush because of the war, he sung to their patriotic side and we wanted answers and were angry. Obama was a regular president who came in at a good time where normal looked great. Then we had Trump, now we …
