Hello. I do not recall the political world being so much in the limelight as it has been over the last year or so. Every move made in D.C. lately comes under the watchful eye of the mental giants in the media. The media was in love with Obama during the campaign and now they're busting his chops for every move he makes. Is the extensive coverage a reality or is my aging brain finally paying more attention to CNN than ESPN?

How about this cartoonist that portrayed a monkey gunned down by a couple of cops and said that it was not a reference to Obama. Really. I must have missed the chimp who signed a stimulus plan. Who would have thought that electing a black leader of the free world would bring racism to the forefront again...DUH. African Americans believe they have a BIG voice now that Obama is in office, yet every time a black man speaks his mind, the media bitch slaps the guy. America tries to shake off the shame of the past by electing a black president, but reveals herself as a closet bigot. Will the real Archie Bunker please stand up.

Technology is killing our world as we know it. I bet Michael Phelps wishes the camera-phone was never invented. An innocent bong hit turns an American hero into late night fodder. If he would have been photographed drinking a beer, his picture would still be on a Wheaties box. A friend of mine suggests that General Mills change the name to "Weedies".

People need to understand that politicians, athletes, musicians and movie stars are humans, like the rest of us. Humans will make mistakes. It is not up to all of us to judge them, I'll leave that to a power much stronger than I.
