Barack & Michelle Obama Marriage

There has been a lot of news about Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright and Barack Obama's attendance to his church for 20 years this past year. I don't know why during all of that I never even thought about the fact that he married the two of them too in October of 1992. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. People have an opinion one way or another where President Obama's attendance to the church is concerned and this wouldn't change anything. Most people don't care what type of bridesmaid gifts were given or what they danced to. It's just details.

I just thought I'd share my "duh" moment with everybody.

Barack Obama's Speech to Our Kids in School

Since I have three children in school, I took the time yesterday to read his speech (it was on the White House web site) so I could check it out before my kids would hear it (and object to their viewing if I thought it best or talk to them beforehand about anything I thought necessary). I didn't see anything in what I read to be a huge concern.

I asked my eight year old what she learned from it. Her first response was, "I forget." Then she said that he said that they (kids) shouldn't let themselves down because if they do, they are letting the whole country down.

I asked my ten year old son what he learned from it. He said, "I learned....hmmm...I'm not sure."

I guess it had a huge effect on him, eh?
