I ADMIT TO BECOMING AN OBAMA BIRTHER! HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE MUST BE PRESENTED AGAIN! [View all]

[Jeffersons Ghost]

We the people of the United States of America should insist that President Barrack Obama display an enlarged version of his birth certificate for Republican visitors to inspect, when they visit a historic monument to freedom and equality, called The White House.

Each of us lives a life of contradictory truths. We are not one thing or another. Barack Obama's mother was at least a dozen things. S. Ann Soetoro was a teen mother who later got a Ph.D. in anthropology; a white woman from the Midwest, who was more comfortable in Indonesia; a natural-born mother obsessed with her work and a romantic pragmatist.

When I think about my mother, Obama told me recently, I think that there was a certain combination of being very grounded in who she was, what she believed... http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1729685,00.html

Although, I am Caucasian, my skin is not "white." In fact, I have never seen a truly "black" person. Here in New Mexico, I often meet Native Americans; but none of them are "red." A few Navajos and Hispanics take the time to teach me their language.

Obviously, real "birthers" were attempting to destroy the image of President Obama, with emphasis on his mixed heritage. Theoretically, Afro-American voters would not support a half breed. Though their misguided plan, press releases by birthers caused the birth certificate of Barrack Obama to become a historic relic, worthy of display in the White House.

These same racists attempted to destroy the image of one of the prettiest First Ladies to inhabit the White House. The next few photographs will put this comment in perspective.

Now, let's review some other First Ladies:

Take a look at this provocative gown, which drew no criticism, and a brief history of her service to the United Sates of America.

Jacqueline Kennedy had first visited the White House as a tourist with her mother and sister in 1941. She was dismayed to see so few historical furnishings on display and frustrated by the lack of a booklet to inform visitors about the history of the great house. Twenty years later, as first lady, she sought to change things and make the White House "the most perfect house in the United States."

Before her husband's inauguration, Mrs. Kennedy visited the White House as the guest of First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. Disappointed with its appearance, Mrs. Kennedy referred to the White House as "that dreary Maison Blanche." Calling it an "18th-century house," she believed that it should be furnished with antiques in the style of past presidents. It was, she thought, a museum that should reflect the artistic history of the United States.
"Restoration, Not Decoration"

"All these people come to see the White House and they see practically nothing that dates back before 1948," Mrs. Kennedy said in a September 1, 1961 interview with Hugh Sidey of Life magazine. "Every boy who comes here should see things that develop his sense of history. For the girls, the house should look beautiful and lived-in. They should see what a fire in the fireplace and pretty flowers can do for a house; the White House rooms should give them a sense of all that. Everything in the White House must have a reason for being there. It would be sacrilege merely to "redecorate" it -- a word I hate. It must be restored -- and that has nothing to do with decoration. https://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/Jacqueline-Kennedy-in-the-White-House.aspx

Finally, here is a First Lady, who was not pretty. She was beautiful.


Synopsis

Born in New York City on October 11, 1884, Eleanor Roosevelt—the niece of Theodore Roosevelt—was one of the most outspoken women in the White House. She married Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1905. During her husband's presidency, Eleanor gave press conferences and wrote a newspaper column. After his death, she served at the United Nations, focusing on human rights and women's issues.

Early Life

First lady, writer and humanitarian Eleanor Roosevelt was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt on October 11, 1884, in New York City. The niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor was known as a shy child, and experienced tremendous loss at a young age: Her mother died in 1892 and her father died two years later, when she was just 10 years old. Eleanor was sent to school in England when she was a teenager—an experience that helped draw her out of her shell.

In 1905, Eleanor married her distant cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who would later become president of the United States. The couple had six children: Anna, James, Franklin (who died as an infant), Elliott, Franklin Jr. and John. Despite her busy home life, Eleanor became active in public service during World War I, working for the American Red Cross. http://www.biography.com/people/eleanor-roosevelt-9463366#synopsis

Here is a Navajo word I learned yesterday: Ya'at eeh means "Greetings."
The Navajo language, also known as Diné Bizaad, is spoken by thousands of people in the United States and elsewhere. Navajo people are particularly proud of their ancestors, who won WWII, as code-talkers.

As usual, I will leave readers with a song by a woman who was told that she could succeed, after divorcing her husband and co-performer Sonny Bono. Obviously, the sexist critics were wrong.
