In reply to the discussion: I'm calling for a boycott of the Presidential Inauguration January 21 [View all]Dreamwithnolove
(6 posts)To comment on your many post thus far. Listen give it up. I respect your passion but your argument is stale. You and your husband were not the only ones standing long hours or making calls. I was one to do both this year and 2008. I decided in 2008 that I was standing with this president through the ups and downs and I can't abandon him now. We are not going to always agree with all of his decisions but agree we must push him in the direction best for the union.
I live in DC and attended the first inauguration and remember the beauty of the event I could never boycott the ceremony we should always show solidarity and stand together or fall for anything.
You began your statement with a good argument about his needing to stand his ground. But you began to lose focus and you certainly didn't do a good job defending your argument once you were challenged. Now this is DU imagine if you were in contention for high office, perhaps this is exactly why Amb. Rice suggested removing her name from possible contention.
I for one respect Dr. Rice and certainly know of her suitability for the job as well as her esteem academic career however, I thought her nomination was a BIG conflict of interest. Starting with those keystone interest and her willful neglect of the people of Rowanda on her watch.
Before you ponder I'm a black mom too.
Peace & blessings
