Normally the things I post are based on what moves me to do so. This time I am posting because I was asked.
When I heard that Osama had been killed I was relieved. When I saw all the people cheering and dancing in the streets I was a bit saddened. I just can’t celebrate the death of another human being. As bad a person that Osama was there were people that loved him and those people are hurting. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand why they were celebrating. I do understand that everyone doesn’t see the world the same way I do. Here’s the thing. If I had been in Obama’s shoes I believe I would have given the same order he did. I would have sent those guys in to get him and kill him.
I tend to try to look at thing from both points of view. I may not always put it to paper but that is because I am not a writer. I hope I get better as time goes on but as you see in things that I have written that sometimes I will go off in left field and get off topic (like now). That’s because I’m not a writer.
Back to topic. I agree with The President about not releasing the pictures. Some people want to see the pictures because they like seeing gore. Others want to see the pictures because they don’t want to believe the White House. Those that don’t want to believe WILL NOT believe. Some people see conspiracy in everything this President and/or the government does. Here is my conspiracy theory. I made this up last night while talking this over with my wife. The Bush Administration found and killed Osama in 2002 and burned his body. That’s why Bush said “I am not looking for Osama anymore and don’t spend any time thinking about him”. They didn’t tell anyone so that they could keep the wars going. Obama gets elected and found out what they had done. Rather than tell the American public they decide to pretend to kill Osama and bury the body at sea so that they can end the war. That’s as good a theory as any other. Feel free to add to it. If you do add to it please post it under the comments section. I would love to read it.
To the person that asked me to post this, I hope I answered your question and thanks for reading.

Obama's Papers
Yesterday President Obama showed his birth certificate trying to prove to the Birthers that he is an American citizen. Let me first say that there is nothing that he can do that would make this group of people believe that he is legit. They will never accept a black man as their President. It upsets me that he would even respond to their idiotic claims that he is an illegitimate President.
This reminds me of the times when free black men had to carry their papers on them to prove that they were free. This is not those times. The President of the United States should not have to answer crazy questions from a bunch of knuckle draggers. It is like trying to explain quantum physics to kindergarten children. Truth be told, I think they understand but refuse to accept it.
A friend tried to compare the Birthers to the people that would call President W. Bush dumb. I disagree with her only because those people did that because of things Bush did and said. Like making up words and pushing doors that he should have pulled. The comments were based on his actions. There is no foundation for the illegitimate claims cast on President Obama other than the color of his skin.
I am happy that I’m not the President because the television stations would have to beep me if I had gotten the question about my birth certificate. Never in the history of this country has a President had to endure this level of disrespect. I don’t think I could smile and put up with it. I don’t agree with the President most of the time. He doesn’t fight enough for me. I believe in compromise but he seems to cave in and give the Republicans what they want far too soon.
I support the President but I don’t like the way the Republicans are treating him. He is allowing them to treat him like some “House Nigger”. I know I’m not supposed to use that word but no other word seems to fit. My mother sometimes reads my blog and because of that I can’t write some of the things I’m thinking right now. This really has me pissed off. He needs to stand up to these people. I know it is not all Republicans but until some Republicans denounce the Tea Baggers and Birthers, they are one.
Let me end by saying that if I could talk to President Obama I would tell him that he does not have enough papers to satisfy the knuckle draggers. There is no point in going down that road and he does not have to. He is the President of the United States of America so grow a spine and act like it. The Birthers are a bunch of F-ing racist and he can’t please them, so just plow thru them.
