Chatting with myself on a rainy day.
Who said “Lightening does not strike twice?”
Lightening did strike twice in the same place and it hit Barack Hussein Obama in the butt both times.
The lightening bolts, however, represent benign opportunities and when they hit Barack, it was both times he was willing, ready and able to pick up the baton of opportunity and run with it.
So often in life we are told when opportunity strikes, you have to be ready to accept it. Countless movies and pieces of literature testify to the soundness of the old saying. To be sure, they are not all “Rags to Riches” either.
The first lightening bolt met up with Barack in Illinois when his chief opponent’s sealed divorce papers were opened and made public. My understanding it was like the 4th of July! His opponent, *Jack Ryan, dropped out of the Senate race and Barack ran un-opposed. The incident, however, was not without its comedic elements: Alan Keys was deported from Maryland to Chicago to set up housekeeping and to run against Barack and I do not think to this day Alan’s mentality has caught up as to what happened to him. The entire fiasco orchestrated by Alan and the Republican party was hysterical! "Amos and Andy" comes to mind.
For the second lightening strike, enter Scott Brown of Massachusetts. Scott won the Senate seat of the late Edward Kennedy and when that happened, the entire Democratic community literally went comatose. That is until Pres. Obama got another lighting bolt striking his butt and with the HealthCare Reform Bill in clinched fist, he was once again propelled forward, alight with much energy and once again making history; ”Yes I can!”
Meanwhile, the media yawns as it did when Sen. Obama won twelve straight states in the primaries and at this point, I am just wondering who will be getting the pens the President will be using tomorrow to sign the HealthCare Reform Bill into law.
=====================================
Republicans as role models?
Why is it ever said of a famous white boy being a role model when he demonstrates un-social behaviors? Surely the behaviors of Republicans these past few months should come into question. Is this not the same dis-respectful behaviors teachers in school systems all over the country are complaining about?

* Prior to release of the documents, Ryan had told leading Republicans that five percent of the divorce file could cause problems for his campaign.[24] But after the documents were released, GOP officials including state GOP Chair Judy Baar Topinka said they felt Ryan had misleadingly indicated the divorce records would not be embarrassing.[25] That charge of dishonesty led to intensifying calls for Ryan's withdrawal, though Topinka, who was considering running herself, said after the June 25 withdrawal that Ryan's "decision was a personal one" and that the state GOP had not pressured Ryan to drop out.[26] Ryan's campaign ended less than a week after the custody records were opened, and Ryan officially filed the documentation to withdraw on July 29, 2004. Obama was left without an opponent.
