So I just read the entire transcript of Obama's speech the other night (if you haven't seen or read it here is the link http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/29/transcript-obama-remarks-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner/)
I can not tell you how disgusted I am. Just when I think he can't surprise me anymore...he pulls a stunt like this. The entire speech is filled with his poor attempt at humor and making fun of others, putting them down, and just plain filth. Example, he mentions Sarah Palin and the difference between a pit-bull and a hockey mom? his response though is that pit bulls taste good, with soy sauce...really?
People this is the man we have in office. He give no regard for the American people or this country. He has no class, no honor. All he cares about are himself and his rich buddies, screw the rest of the country. Tasteless crap like this is NOT appropriate for the President, but then when have Obama or his wife done the respectable or appropriate thing. They have taken 17 total vacations, several of which cost millions of dollars, oh but they make up for it by reimbursing the American people for ONE of those 17. I hear things like "well Bush took vacations to his ranch" yes he did, the ranch he OWNED before becoming President. He also often included work in his vacations. Unlike Obama who was in Hawaii when we were threatened by attacks a couple of Christmases ago, and he stayed there, why should he care right?
What gets me is you can show the facts to people, and they STILL will support him. My husband was telling an Obama supporter about the Alice in Wonderland party Obama threw for his kids that cost millions. Now Obama admitted to this, he said he tried to keep it a secret because he felt with the economy people would have taken offense (no, really? what made you think that Mr. President). The guy my husband told this to said "no that party is a lie". Seriously? there are pictures, Obama released a statement himself about it, but no...it never happened.
People are so blind, all I can do is pray for God's grace for this country, for the people in it, that eyes will be open.

Romney or Obama 2012
Well, I personally decided that I am going to support Romney for 2012, he will be the nominee by Texas, and we need to unite to get Obama OUT of the White House.
I know some people find this decision off, after supporting Rick Santorum, but it's a decision I made awhile back. One was to support the nominee, and two was that Romney was my choice after Rick (I can't stomach Newt or Paul). No Romney may not be who we originally chose, but he is who the people as a whole chose, and I now choose to support him.
I think Romney can win by a landslide, the problem though is that so many people want to find reasons not to vote. They like someone else, they want to write in, they wont vote so they can make a point, they don't like Romney's religion, they don't like that he hired someone gay (a moot point from Santorum supporters IMO because Rick did too). These rifts, are what could kill our chances.
Whether you supported Romney, Santorum, or someone else, I urge you to come together and see the bigger picture. Rick said it all the time, the goal is to defeat Barack Obama, and that's a goal we all share! If you can't work for the nominee, then work against Obama!
We need a conservative VP, so we should be encouraging that, as well as voting for and supporting other conservative candidates (Senate, Congress, local elections, Judges, etc). This will help ensure that we can hold the liberals feet to the fire, and get America back on track.

Emotions running high
So I have been wanting to start a blog for quite awhile, I did attempt it awhile back, but I have learned a few things and decided to start over. As a conservative wife and mother, I want to be able to get out important information, facts, and my feelings on different things, especially the current political race.
I think what is heaviest on my heart at the moment, are the attitudes of people that I counted among my friends in the national Santorum campaign. It was heartbreaking when Rick dropped, I cried for two days. I know there are a lot of people new to politics and campaigns, and that many people handled this news differently. I just wish the hate and nastiness would stop, no matter what people think of other's decisions. It's not productive, God doesn't like it, it probably brings tears to His eyes, and I know Rick would not approve.
Me personally, I had made my decision long before Rick dropped, because I knew how politics worked, and knew it was a possibility. I grew up with a very political dad. In my teens we used to have a lot of discussions, and I learned a lot from him which I am very thankful for! My personal decision in this was to support Romney, he will be the nominee and we HAVE to defeat Obama. Many people I respect and admire and made this decision as well.
I don't judge or condemn other people's decisions, on how they handle this. I do disagree with running a full fledged campaign without a candidate (this just seems disrespectful, not to mention somewhat illegal). I think it's great people still want to vote for Rick, and show their support! I just hope when this is all said and done we can come together and work for the bigger picture and greater good of this country and our children.
One thing that does bother me though are Christians who are saying God has a plan and we need to trust Him (which I full agree with!!) but then turn around and insist that their personal plan is so good it is therefore God's plan as well. God's plans are rarely our plans, we have to learn to be still and know that though His plan's are different they are great! and He has our best interests at heart. I am fully content in my decision, and know that whatever happens God is behind me and He has a great plan for me (and for Rick, who I still want to support in whatever he does now).
I hope that this ministers to some people. I just wanted to get my thoughts down on paper and start this blog.
God bless everyone!
