If the election were held today.  Who would you vote for: Romney or Obama.   Why?

Two of my Grandchildren, Cody & Raina.  One more on the way in December.

I remember when I was in the Navy, we were asked to write a paper on President Reagan’s slogan, “Peace Through Strength”. Although I can’t remember what I wrote I liked the slogan from the beginning.
 We’ll never forget the speech, “Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall.”  President Bush also talked tough and called out those that were evil.  President Obama has taken a different approach and has even apologised for America.  He has what I call “soft talk”. 

Is tough talk or soft talk appropriate for this situation?

The Obama administration is saying that all the unrest in the middle east is not against Americans, it’s against one video. 

Do you believe what Obama is declaring?

Right now there are 21 countries that are having violent uprising agaisnt America.  How far and how long do you think this is going to go? 

“The Innocence of Muslims,” is a feature-length, low-budget film that outraged Muslim groups.  These Muslim groups have unleashed a violence against Americans.  One of the Obama administration’s stand on it is to denounce the video and assign an investigation against it.  What about America’s Freedom of Speech? 

Should America continue to have Freedom of Speech? 

Raina, our new Granddaughter.  She was 8 hours old when this picture was taken.

One of the differences between Republicans and Democrats is the amount of involvement by the government.

Do you believe the government should be more involved or less involved in the affairs of this country?

There was a media frenzy over Romney’s joke about not being asked to see his birth certificate, Biden’s comment about being shackeled and Obama’s misspelling of Ohio.  Should, we as Americans “Chill Out” when it comes to politics?

We record almost everything we watch on TV.  It’s usually Game shows, Storage Wars and Food Network shows.  Since it’s recorded we fast forward through all the commercials.  I’m getting pretty good at hitting the stop button at the right time, almost the same way when I put gas in the vehicle.  It makes me wonder if everyone fast forwards through commercials will the TV industry have to change the way it looks at having commercials. 

Do you record your TV programs and fast forward through commercials?

I was grilling hamburgers in my back yard when I heard a large crash.  I ran to the front of our house to see a bad car accident.  I called 911 and went to the driver of the second vehicle.  It was apparent that she had been texting and ran into the back of a van taxi.  Her phone was in texting mode and in her lap.  A nurse was on site and took over.  She removed the girl from her car and had her sit across the street.  The van taxi appeared to have little damage since the car was small and actually went under the van.  (Oh by the way my hamburgers was well done but not burnt.)  I personnally don’t want any more laws.  I think we have way too many.  I would like the insurance company to take up this issue.  If you’re in an accident and texting is involved your insurance will go up. 

Do you think there should be laws against driving and texting?
