Moreover, how can anyone reward the Republicans with their vote when 8 years of miscalculation and hubris has damaged America beyond belief? If we hadn't spent a trillion in Iraq, we'd have that to deal with Wall St.; another Republican made fiasco. Obama is the only politician with a vision for uniting America and repairing our standing in the world. I hope I'm preaching to the choir here!

Comment s'est passée l'entrevue ? De mon côté, j'ai reçu un contrat pour peindre une importante murale d'environ 40' chez un collègue. Ensuite, je repars en Colombie-Britannique pour un autre contrat de décor. Ça groove ! Here's a picture I took in Mexico. Have fun et au plaisir,
