She really doesn't have to be, but I bet she'll get better. She did say that John told her that she'd never have to speak in front of a crowd - - lol!
Her public service and giving heart has prepared her to be a very good First Lady. She has done some great things!

I think so too. I also didn't realize that they had been married thirty years. That's a long time according to our world's standards. Kudos to them!

Every few years we have the ability to decide whether we are satisfied with what they did and whether we are going to hold them accountable....and whether we are going to make them work for us in order to continue to be in power.

I agree. On "A" I know there are various views on abortion and immigration and I know that it will take some time and work to even get close to making these things workable for me. I can't hold everyone to my point of view, so I vote for who comes the closest.

Because he's crossed lines and made decisions that could have kept him out of the presidency slot, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. When he gets voted in we will see how it goes.

He is for marriage between one man and one women and then as he told Ellen D., he upholds whatever the law states on the gay issues.
How can he force people to be who they are not? We can't act like they are not here.
It's the work of God, the church, evangelism to save those that are lost. It's not the Government's job to fix their hearts.

Actually what he is doing it would seem is playing both sides for a vote.
