First Family’s Fourth of July

July 3, 2009 – The first family will celebrate the Fourth of July on the South Lawn of the White House with a barbecue, fireworks and 1,200 military families.
The White House event will honor military heroes and their families and the invited guests will enjoy a barbecue on the South Lawn and an evening concluding with fireworks.
Entertainment will be provided by the Marine Band and the president will deliver brief remarks.
This week the president delivered some tough talk to keep his agenda on track. He kicked off the week pressing for health care reform with a town hall meeting, tried to ease fears over the 26-year high unemployment numbers, and wrapped up the week prepping for his trip to Russia, Italy and Ghana.
The president also made his first public statement regarding Michael Jackson to The Associated Press. Obama said he has Jackson songs on his iPod and is glad to see that the entertainer is being remembered for “the great joy” that he brought to people with his extraordinary gifts. But he said that brilliance was paired with a tragic and sad personal life.
This sounds like such a wonderful idea. It seems that this administration respect our military families more that the last 8 years of people who sent them into harm’s way on a trumped up lie. I am so happy that they are getting many of the things that they have been denied since we lost the draft and many of them are poor people.
BBQ makes me doo doo too much
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a “post turtle.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was. The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a “post turtle”. The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there.”
Thank you, Ms. Gentry for such a well written and insightful article. I am such a huge fan of President Barack Obama and have been so since he began his run for president. He offers us everything important such as his profound kindness, communication and interpersonal skills, brilliance, and elegance. I love him and am so glad that he is around for the sake of my three daughters and for all the children and adults of our nation and the world. President Obama’s legacy will prove to be great, and I am proud that we elected such an outstanding and patriotic person.
Fortunately, he overcame the love vanity of “I” to overcome the selfish “I”, hand out a runescape accounts Holding immortal love,Holding a timeless love.
Hand him go when the idea was aloof purification, love has been the sublimation of the sacred. His brave action inspired us: to love one can hold the sky and sea containers, love runescape accounts him (she) is necessary to accommodate him (her) all, including him (her) face, he (she) the merits, or even him (her) the defects, this is really love, this is pure and great love.
