... and he had his early years of elementary school in my city, my country! :)
Oh, yeah, that's right. Very cool.
And, by the way, I really like your self-portraits.
.....I need to go to bed now....I'm usually in bed by 8am, but am staying up later than usual.
I hope you have a very nice, peaceful day!
Good night :) It's 09:54 pm here, will go to bed too in few hours.
[this is good]
Right on!
Don't you think it's the media who's putting out these terms and not Clinton? The politicians are trying to get everyone's votes not just a certain group. She has never come out and said, "all the uneducated, hardworking people, vote for me!" I think we should be pointing our fingers more at the media than the politicians, because Obama's not as innocent either if you want to get technical. He dodges the bullet better because he's a great public speaker and draws in the audience. I'm a college graduate and am going to vote for Clinton, along with my many "educated" colleagues... so ultimately I think it should be about everyone making this decision for themselves by looking at the facts, not by how the candidates are made to look.
Oh, yes, of course "everyone should make the decision for themselves by looking at the facts." No question about that. And, the first part of my rant is about the media. I am much more upset with the media than with Hillary Clinton. The problem I have seen in Clinton's campaign is the wllingness to let the issue of race and social status play out in her favor. Derrick Z. Jackson has a great editorial about this, in my opinion. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2008/05/10/clintons_diminishing_of_black_voters/ From my viewpoint, Obama has consciously tried to keep his campaign on the high road ...I sense that he has determined to maintain dignity no matter what the end result may be. I have not gotten that same sense from Clinton's campaign. I respect her, but I have not liked the way she has run her campaign.
