President Obama strides while he walks.  He has a  certain confidence about him. This can be good and this can be bad.  Everyone needs self confidence, but the president’s is a little more ego than anything else.  Since being elected, he has claimed that the stimulus bill has helped our economy, but why is there a 10.2% unemployment rate.  Then he thinks he can go to Copenhagen and Chicago will be given the Summer Olympic Games for 2016.  Didn’t happen.  There there is Iran.  For some reason he thinks he can just have a peaceful meeting with the leaders of this country and everything will be okay.  When I was a kid, I watched the ABC World News with my dad almost every night.  I remember seeing images of the ayatollah and thinking what an evil man he was.  I made a comment like I wish he would just die.  I know it was a horrible thought.  Then the next morning, my dad told me I had got my wish and that the Ayatollah Khomeini had, in fact, died.  My dad, who flew all over the world while serving in the Air Force, said Iran was the only country he didn’t feel safe.  That is saying something.  I wonder why the Obama administration continually wants to be “friends” with a country that doesn’t want to reciprocate.  It doesn’t make sense.  During a recent meeting of the Iranian parliament, the MPs shouted in Farsi, Death to America.  Yeah, I think they really want to just get along.  Hardly.  Iran is an evil country run by evil people.  That’s all there is too it.  I know that not all Iranians are bad.  It’s their government.  There have been uprisings in the street to protest the sham election of Ahmadinejad this past summer.  The Obama administration turned a blind eye to the protesters much as they did the protesters in our own country reacting to health care reform.  The protesters of Iran are looking to Obama and saying you are with us or against us.  Right now, he’s against them.  He has a dream of a nuclear free world which would be wonderful, however, you can’t negotiate with terrorists and Iran is a terrorist state.    Until Obama figures this out, Iran will still be working on their nuclear program despite sanctions and they will still hate us.

I am sick and tired. I mean really sick and tired.  I don’t want to do anything.  I don’t have H1N1.  I don’t know how I avoided getting it after being around a bunch of kids who had it.  We came home unscathed from Utah.  No my problems are all about Crohn’s.  I had a colonscopy in September. It was really rough.  I was sore for a week or so.  I started feeling better, but now I am down and out.  It really stinks.  I have abdominal pain and it’s no fun.  My favorite thing is my heating pad.  I am restricted to a soft diet.  How unfair! I am in the land of green chilies and good Mexican food and I can’t eat it.  I get to eat jello, pasta, pudding, etc…  I guess it’s okay, but it sure doesn’t fill me up.  I have lost weight and I just don’t look good.  I fit right in for Halloween. No makeup required.   I just started on a new medication and I hope it kicks in soon. It’s called Cimzia and it’s two shots that Igive to myself.  It’s been a week so I bet it will be another week before I feel any results or at least that’s what I hope.  I know that Crohn’s is something I have to live with and for the most part I do.  There are a lot of times that I push through the pain and just get out and do the things that I need to do.  This time I am having a hard time.  I am going to get IV Iron next week so I hope that after that procedure I will be back to my old self and that this pain goes away.  Then I will be back to writing about the things that drive me crazy like the health care reform bill that is currently being shoved down the throats of Americans and I can write about the people who drive me crazy like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  Until then….
