The following are a few emails received about Tom's Blog

June:
Tommy was very eloquent in his thoughts on the Obama win. I'm glad you are edging your thoughts towards his perspective and you removed your (what must have been).... "counterpoint." Tommy's sentiment echoes duplicates mine, only his writing is much more uplifting.

The blog that I took down stated in part...:
"Miraculously we have made it through the election with all liberal friendships intact. Yes, we threw bombs at each other, but neither gave an inch on our views. The election came and went, and the liberals won.

It is reported that he received votes from 40% of the American population...40% of Americans voted for Socialism and I bet most didn't even know it or know what it is at all. ~

I received an email about the meaning of socialism from a Russian descendant...

here it is...

"He may want to redistribute wealth and power some but he is far from socialist. Having spent a significant amount of time in the former Soviet Union, I know socialism firsthand (everyone gets the same wages, all homes, land, and buildings are owned by the state). Some forms of market socialism are already in place in the US (especially production and distribution of agriculture)."

Another email~

June: Sounds like we'll get a little Obama-drama after all!
AP - "Barack Obama is signaling a shift in tactics and temperament as he moves from candidate to president-elect, picking sharp-elbowed Washington insiders for top posts. His choice Thursday for White House chief of staff — Rahm Emanuel, a fiery partisan who doesn't mind breaking glass and hurting feelings — is a significant departure from the soft-spoken, low-key aides that "No-Drama Obama" has surrounded himself with during his campaign."

Another email came from Wetumpkia, Alabama~
Saundra H. named a long list of changes she has seen in her 70 years of life. The last being a black President.
Living in the Heart of Dixie, she saw it all.

June, I am amazed to think back to all that has transpired in my lifetime.

"White" and "Colored" signs over public water fountains and restrooms; separate schools; separate movies, clubs, separate areas on a public bus, separate floors in a hospital and separate areas pf a town to live. Now, we have a black President.
I enjoy your blog very much.
This election was too important to not include words in a personal blog. It is very personal. I think we are about to see a few more changes that will be very personal to everyone, black and white.

THIS ON TOPPED THEM ALL~

June,
What's all this mention of color of Obama's skin? I thought to SEE/NOTICE or MENTION color was racist and not politically correct. Now, looks as if he has again segregated the races. What do you think?
