President Obama is lengthening the game itself. Think Forever. Not today.

12. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars

I see from the Tea Party opposition the following
roadblocks
obstruction
nasty, vile
I see Bohner and Mitch as Cujo.
Foaming anger.
I see signs of wanting to burn it down from the Tea Party, but I never hear from those signs, what in tarnation will be there the day after.
Because normally, when someone wants to commit arson, the fire is the part they want to see.
I see that is what the Rand Pauls want.That is what all of them want. To burn it down.
To see it burn.
as the song goes "Fire is the devils only friend".
Some think they can slide back into the 1950s again.
I ask? WHY?
The 50s sucked if one was a minority. If one was a woman.(Doesn't anyone watch Mad Men?
And see how those heroes in suits treated women?) If one was different. If one was Gay.
If one was handicapped.

The 50s had alot of babies born. Then the babies were all spoiled rotten. Given everything they ever wanted (of course, that is a certain type of family when you think about it.
They got GI Joe when he was big!
They got every toy under the sun. They got TV to watch. They got the American dream
they thought.

But not everybody shared in that fantasy Norman Rockwell world that Eisenhower(the original Reagan) lived in.

It took Dr. King many decades/years and LBJ to sign the darned thing.

I see what Frank Rich saw right around the time of the issue'd'week in 2009
I see Frank Rich was 100% correct then. I see nothing changed from that.


What did my grandparents saw when in the worst of times, in Austria, when they had to take my mother a young girl at the time, and her brother and the others with them, out of their mansion they owned and leave all material items behind, when they had to give up everything, when they and millions of others made a journey
And they saw hate, and Cujo and all
And they never whined.
And they rebuilt from the bottom up.

And they went on. While so many of their friends didn't because of Hitler.

Now, what does Jackie Robinson see when it was two years before he made history?
Should Jackie Robinson have given up the first day someone spit at him and called him names?

Should Neil Armstrong have said, are you nuts, walking on the moon?

All this negativity is 100% backward.

I see what Barack Obama sees, though he sees it better because he is smarter.

I see what Casey Kasem said was true after all
"Keep Your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars"
It was corny hearing him say it. And I was never a big fan of his.
I liked more when Cousin Brucie counted it down decades earlier.
But Casey's slogan is so true.

One issue does not make a future.
The future is made up of everything and everyone.
Because issues change.
