Beautiful mural! It is so incredibly important he win. At the same time, he does want to increase the size of the military and push to develop corn-sourced ethanol. Sigh... Still, we have no choice!
It is wonderful to see the reaction to Obama down here on Hispaniola.. Two dark Dominican women said to me:"He has a face like ours!" and in Haiti, I heard. "It shows that the American people can look within a person, do not judge by the color of the skin"-- NOW that is.. NOW we hope. NOW.. If they would let Palin speak more, that would help!!
