When Keith Urban challenged Amber by asking her what her interpretation of “My Funny Valentine” is, I feel that she grew as an artist and as a person. I really wish it had happened early on in the competition because in my opinion her growth in this, her last week propelled her to a tie with Candice Glover as this seasons American Idol.
Uhuru Kenyatta was a baby when the British were slaughtering the Masai in the streets of Mombasa. I hope that he will look back and see the need to protect all Kenyans and not let greed and ethnocentrism taint his administration. As a democratic country, Kenya will become the most powerful country in Africa and an example to all other African countries.Africa can lift this curse with a strong compassionate and moral leader.
Ethnocentrism, the scourge of Africa, is the curse that has led to the ethnic cleansing of tribes (by their neighbor's and relatives) throughout Africa.
The big question is; why is American companies allowed to invest with our enemies and why do they avoid black countries? African countries have been begging for an alliance with the US for decades. Racism in the board rooms has allowed China to move in and benefit from African countries with natural resources that will enhance it's standing as a world power.
"The state does not want to expand Medicaid and get stuck with the bill," is a cop out used by politicians to deny poor and indigent people medical care. It so far from the truth that only an idiot would believe it. The Medicaid expansion will create enough taxable jobs in medical fields to pay for itself and put a sizable amount of surplus money in states treasuries. It's a win win proposition for states.Reply
I hope President Obama will use executive privilege and appoint Rice as the next secretary of state. All the reasons that Republicans use against Susan Rice make her the best qualified person to replace Clinton when she steps down. Susan Rice is a very strong and a very intelligent woman and Republicans feel intimidated by her.Reply
I am surprised at how silent women have on this issue. Rice is the most qualified person in consideration by the "media" and is bring raked over the coals because she is a woman. With a level playing field there wouldn't be a debate, she would be asked to fill the position based on qualifications and proven ability.Reply
