Right now two of my siblings are spending their last week in Hawaii, and I can tell you that they DID NOT need a passport to get into that STATE! In light of the clams that Mr. Trump has mad I figured that I will look up some things about the 50th state in our union (anyway this is more fun than writing papers!lol)

Sorry to say but Obama was born in Hawaii when it was a state. His opponent in the 2008 Election, John McCain, was not born in the US but instead he was born in a US territory (The Panama Canal) and you did not see the Democratic Party make a stink out of this. If you don't like our President DO NOT THROW OUT THIS CRAZY ARGUMENT THAT HE IS NOT A US CITIZEN!!!! Let me quickly make myself clear; I do not think that every person who does not agree with the President automatically thinks that he is not a citizen. I know that some (maybe a good majority) of his opponents now that he was born in the US and they don't like him because of his policies and to those people I have no problem talking to them about him. But when people , like Trumph, start throwing out clams of Obama not being a citizen it aggravates me. Also I am NOT saying that McCain is not a citizen, McCain is a citizen just like every other citizen that was born in a US Territory/military base.

I believe in our President and I think that he has done a lot to improve our country. There have been things that he has faced that no one could have expected; a housing bubble that has burster, a nasty situation in the Middle East, break outs in Libya and Egypt, and an economy that has been failing. I think that he has handled himself with great pois and dignity in these situations. He is willing to be bipartisan to try and get the best policy for the people of the Unites States. Yes he has not gotten everything he has wanted, but he has also gotten major things done. (Health Care Anyone?)

This is my plea to all Americans STOP ASKING TO SEE THE PRESIDENTS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. HE IS A CITIZEN!

Currently watching The Notebook. I just have to say that I LOVE this movie so much and the book is on my summer reading list. I think it is the 4 time I have watched this move this month.

Today I was looking over everything in terms of graduating and noticed that I am 26 hours away from graduating!!!! AHHH SO EXCITED! This time next year I will be putting my finishing touches on my school work and getting ready to goto commencement. Now a lot of my friends that I went to High School are graduating this year and it does make me sad that I will not be joining them, I am OK with the fact that I am going to stick next year out and have my BA in Poli Sci/communications.

With the school year winding down now I am starting to look forward to the summer. Hopefully I can find somewhere to work. I will be taking a class at the Chicago Photography Academy this summer to improve on my photograph.

I have been having a lot of DC nostalgia recently. It just seams like what we are talking about in class and what I see on TV just beings me back there. One of the people who gave a leacture in one of my WII classes was giving a lecture at another Illinois school, I turned on C-Span (Yes I am a nerd and proud of it!) and the President of the company that I interned for was on it. It was just an Amazing experience and I am so blessed that I had that opportunity!

I have been having the fortune of listening to lectures given my Tim Wise. Mr Wise's is one of the most prominent anti-racist writers and educators in the United States, and has been called, “One of the most brilliant, articulate and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation,”. His lectures bring out things about race that we tend to forget.

OMG Obama is a pirate! Sorry I just had to put it in there!

Also Way to go Mississippi! Although I still think you are wrong in so many ways that is AWESOME!

That is all for now!
