I’m back… after weeks of non-stop Sisyphus-like tasks, I am back to update my blog. Well as for current events, lots of Political scandals that rocked our Nation. One particular issue that really got my attention (no.. not Blagojevich.. I’ll get the facts first before really giving my 2 cents) is the flak President-elect Barack Obama is getting from some of his supporters.
I got finally fed up with the talk and somehow I got the guts to write to a local newspaper to give my opinion (will they publish it? i’ll wait and see…). so here’s the letter I sent to the local newspaper to be (hopefully) published on the From the readers section of the San Francisco Examiner:
Barack vs. the New Special Interests
As a strong Barack Obama supporter, I am dismayed that some of his supporters are miffed about his choices. From women’s groups complaining about not having enough women in the cabinet to the gay, lesbian groups fuming over Obama’s invitation of Rick Warren to give the invocation on Inauguration day. Honestly, I am beginning to think that these groups are acting like the Special Interests of the past. Whenever I hear one spokesperson talking about how they helped Barack win the election and that he “owed” them is just insulting to the American people. Obama supporters should remember the President-elect’s promise of not giving in to special interests. We need qualified, intelligent and effective candidates in the Obama Administration not Affirmative Action-influenced picks. The Rick Warren invite would be Barack’s example on how he would reach out across ideological lines to help make our Country into a “more perfect Union.”
So there… that’s my 2 cents for now… will see in a few days what would happen.
Stay tuned.
