WORRIED ABOUT OBAMA

I am getting worried about Barack Obama's Presidency.
His ratings are slipping downhill.
I'm concerned about the people he immediately surrounded himself with, such as Timothy Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, etc. (I won't say what I really feel about them....yet.) I'm afraid he is trying harder to please the Republicans than he is the Democrats, perhaps he fears the Republicans more. I honestly don't think Barack Obama was qualified to be President, although I certainly voted for him. No way could this country have afforded to have John McCain for President. I am pleased that Obama got a Supreme Court appointment so soon and hope he gets 5 more. Although I say that in jest, it is still wishful jesting. I think Obama is trying to be "Mr. Goody 2-Shoes", wants to be all things to all people, doesn't want to hurt any feelings. Too nice and too sensitive for such a tough job. I hope he gets his health care plan through - he has to if he doesn't want his ratings to slide even further - he has to. And the Republicans will fight him because they want him to fail, the country's welfare and well being is not as important to them as regaining power again - so they can give us more Bush. We'll see, I hope and pray his programs are successful and that our country gets out of this horrible mess brought upon us by George W. and his band of crooks. All we can do is wait...and watch...

THE DELUSIONAL BUSHES

JEB BUSH: "My brother was more popular than Barack Obama is.."
At least these people are consistently delusional...
I guess that's common in politics...but even more so with the Bushes....

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL

By far the most poignant moment of the Michael Jackson Tribute - his daughter Paris.
Now...why did Mariah Carey wear a dress low cut to her belly button....and....why did LaToya wear a hat that covered her face? Just wondering....l

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL JULY 7, 2009

First, I succesfully entered the lottery for the MJ Memorial. Sencondly, I got a notice from the Staples Center saying "You did not win a ticket". So I watched at home; after all, Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross did, so why not me? It was an elaborate and moving ceremony. I feel pretty sure Michael was flying around with that grin on his face, enjoying every moment. He made a signifigant contribution to music, in America and around the world, and I'm glad he was here during my time on earth. His legend will live in perpetuity, along with Elvis and Marilyn.
But I also have to say that a day long tribute is enough and it is after 5 p.m. here in L.A. and tv is still all Michael all the time. I personally look forward to the local, national and international news every day, not to memtion the cable political talk shows. So far, no go. I will keep channel surfing looking for some news of the day before retiring for the evening. Otherwise, I'll get up tomorrow morninng and try again. Hopefully the all Michael all the time coverage will have at least somewhat subsided by then.

The British Are Coming ... For Jackson

I find this utterly amazing....
I was a fan of Michael Jackson, but...
I was fortunat enough to get a signed CD set personally signed to me from Michael's business manager just several weeks before he died...MICHAEL JACKSON-THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION

MICHAEL JACKSON

Thank you Tohme Tohme, for the wonderful 4 volume set of CD's of Michael Jackson's "The Ultimate Collection" signed "Love To Woody, Michael Jackson." Of course it is a treasure that I will always keep. Having only gotten it about a month or so before Michael died, I feel I was meant to have it. I, like most people, considered Michael a curiosity as well as a great artist, and was a "fan" in several senses of the word. He was an amazing phenomonon, determined to go after things in his own way, I guess it all amounted to seeking personal fulfillment, even though most people didn't understand it. I'm glad he was acquitted of the charges brought by the 2 children; most people are fair enough to accept the verdict determined in a court of law, and assume Michael was innocent, although we will likely never know exactly what the circustances were. Sometimes I think such great talent and artistry is troublesome to the artist, always seeking fulfillment on a higher level, reaching farther and farther until they fall. There appears to be an inherent sadness in their lives, and fullfillment....and happiness....and sleep...never really come. The same with Elvis.....perhaps no earthly fulfillment was available to them and they were simply "hanging on", just waiting for their "time" to come." With Michael, as with Elvis, the words from "Hamlet" come to mind: "Now cracks a noble heart......Good Night Sweet Prince...And flights of angels sing the to thy rest." Good night Michael....and Thanks.
