Okay, I come from a very republican home through and through. I did not vote for Obama. I voted for McCain. People think it is in bad taste sometimes to talk about who you did and didn't vote for. Well, hey I have no problem telling you.
The thing that puts a horrible taste in my mouth is the bad mouthing of the President on certain occasions. No I don't like him, no I didn't vote for him. But he is our leader whether you like it or not.
For example, last night President Obama spoke at a memorial for the people who lost their lives in Tuscon. Now I do not care what he said in his speech but that he was there speaking on the behalf of those people that lost their lives. Now to go and post on your facebook belittiling what he said is down right shameful. I believe it brings dishonor to the people who died. But for once that isn't about politics. It is about those people. I am sure many people could sit here and argue with me about how he brought up gun control...and other things of the sort. I don't care. Put all that aside for once.
But for once in your life, have a little respect for what that whole thing was about in the first place. Those innocent people that died. Republican or Democrat...they died. So if you would please step off of your no good political ladder for 2 seconds and give some thought to those people that did die and ones that rest in those hospital beds trying to survive.
Instead of getting all hot about the Presidents little speech, why don't you change your attitude and be grateful instead. Be greatful that your family is by you or that you aren't sitting by a hospital bed with a loved one trying to fight for their lives.
In all honesty, it makes me shameful of my fellow Americans that they do not look at the bigger picture sometimes. For once, take your mind off the politics and say a prayer or two for those families.
But what do I know?
