He is an OBAMANATION!

Obama Caught Cheering for Stock Market Collapse, Oprah Boycott Planned
By Jackson Simpson
Sep 16, 2008

Does Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama want to see the stock market collpase? The Obama campaign has hot a snag of late and there are even some women that are planning a boycott of the Oprah Winfrey show as they believe she has been unfair by not giving Republican veep candidate Sarah Palin a forum to promote her historic run for the White House.
But now it appears that the Barack Obama campaign has gone over the top and a CNN report details that the campaign is thrilled that the stock market dropped over 500 points on Monday and they were hoping for the direst economic news possible.
While Americans were losing lots of value in their retirement plans and in their portfolios on Monday the Obama team was giddy according to CNN's Candy Crowley. Newsbusters notes that on Monday she confessed that Team Obama was happy as the stock market plunged. Crowley said this, "I mean, (the drop in the stock market) is what (the Obama campaign) wanted. They believe, of course, that the economy is one of their strengths and that they can paint John McCain as George Bush." How wrong is that - cheering for economic woes for every day Americans so they can score cheap political points. It looks like the Oprah boycott might be the least of Obama's worries.
From his radical stance on abortion to his prominence in the corruption scandals that has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media, Barack Obama is not fit to be Senator -- not to mention the next President of the United States.

Time to put your thinking caps on...

I've been intending to add a "back to school" post to the blog. We began on September 2nd...so school has been in session for nearly 2 weeks. Allyson and Kaleb have had a busy and fun summer! They went on camping trips and airplanes, the zoo, apple picking, to Disney World, the Holiday Inn water park, church outings, to Pee Wee Pony Camp, swimming, biking...and many other adventures! Now, it's time to buckle down and put our noses to the books. When I asked Allyson and Kaleb if they were ready to do an abundance of learning this school year, they gave me the thumbs up! :)

Kaleb decided to try two thumbs up.

Best Friends

I could take a million pictures like this. Whenever they sit next to each other, they always cuddle like this. Here they enjoying a Little Einstein's episode. I don't know what they are going to do when they don't live together. I hope it wont be traumatic. They do everything together.

Like father like son...


This time, Kevin wanted to give Travis his hair cut. So I'm inside, hearing the buzzing of the clippers...then it's quiet and Kevin asks me to come outside...and to bring the camera. THIS is what I see...my poor little boy. Kevin is rolling w/laughter, and then I start up, and then Travis joins in the laughter...even though he as no clue we are cackling at him. Then Travis gave us this cute face, and I snapped a picture. :)
