The Obama debate continues... A young idealistic lawyer who works for one of my roommates is a huge supporter, and he's been urging all of us to get behind his candidate. Meanwhile, my Conservative friends are telling me that a nuclear Iran is no more than 6 months post an Obama presidency.
We've been sending back and forth charged emails, filled with biting political satire and insults. It's a beautiful thing.
One dear friend, a Cuban American, says he became a Conservative while running for his life with his family from a leftist regime, whose leader (Castro) gets holiday cards from Jimmy Carter.
The fact that we all openly debate this, and speak freely, is, of course, the cornerstone of our democracy. No matter who wins --it's wonderful to have this ability. I never forget it.
Meanwhile, D1 wants to be mentioned in these writings. Hello D1.
Seriously --she got her magna cum laude-level sophomore grades, and is interning this Summer at a language translation company. She's also going to be an au pair for a neighbor's kids for a week while the parents are in Europe. What more can be said of a 19 year old who has engendered that sort of trust from people --they know that D1 will take fine care of their precious children. I guess that's much more impressive than the great grades.
Meanwhile otherwise, D2 just took her AP Euro exam, and is likewise chugging along in school getting fine grades. She's also active in many clubs and organizations, and is, in my humble opinion, the most wonderful 16 year old there is. She's even begun to tolerate her mother a bit more.
So -- I hope for D1 and D2's sake the next president is the best person for the job. They're the future of this great country.
