Will Barack Obama Win A Second Term ?
President Obama is in serious jeopardy of losing his bid for a second term, with the economy at the center of his problems. However given the very poor candidates the GOP have running, and how they are attacking each other, I expect he will win.
This my PERSONAL opinion ....
From day one of Obama's 1st term the GOP has made it their top priority to make sure that Obama is a one term president. Not to cut the deficit, or anything else that would benifit the US! Obama has taken Republican ideas and tried to push them forward and the GOP as a whole would come out against their own idea a week later!
Republicans are scared that President Obama will continue to be a very successful President, which will erode their chances of winning the Presidency and Congress (house and senate) and promoting their greed and bigotry. President Obama is an intelligent, tough, and educated man, who has done more positive things for the U.S in THREE years, than most Presidents (including GW Bush) have done in EIGHT years, in spite of the obstructionist Republicans: For example, here are the Top 7 legislative and foreign policy achievements under President Obama’s Leadership and Administration :
1. Over 200 beneficial legislative and foreign policy accomplishments for the U.S. in his first three years, including banking and financial Reform.
2. The death of terrorist Osama bin Laden and many high ranking terrorists. U.S. drone strikes have killed over 2,150 al-Qaeda terrorists.
3. Iraq withdrawal - ending unnecessay war by bush administration, costing millions in lives/billions in U.S. dollars.
4. New START Treaty (U.S. / Russia) Reduces nuclear arms with inspection verification, while ensuring U.S. will have proper arms to deter an invasion.
5 STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congress Knowledge) - Congress and many executive branch members and aides can’t use inside job information to trade stocks/securities because doing so is criminal.
6. 26 consecutive months of job growth, 4.2 million created.
7. Rescued U.S auto industry (GM is now #1 worldwide in sales/profitability), but Romney and Republicans wanted to block this rescue.
President Obama has also demonstrated that he is a good and smart man and wants the best for Americans, and he understands that the U.S. must have shared sacrifice and reforms on the spending and revenue side so that the country can rebound from the disastrous policies of the 8 years during the Bush Administration. Just imagine the other great positive things he could do for the economy in the U.S If he did not have the Republicans trying to block and sabotage his every move. Obama is NOT the problem. Americans are being constantly and aggressively told that he is the problem and if they buy into that, then they are set up to buy into returning to the Bush/Cheney era, which IS the problem. It literally is a con. Obama inherited the problems, he didn’t cause them, and ever since the Republicans have repeatedly, blatantly, stubbornly, relentlessly, and belligerently done everything they could to fault and block ALL efforts to address the problems. The Republicans are obstructionists and they have put greed, bigotry, AND/OR their political ambitions above all else, at any cost to the people, and are striving to have Obama fail, which really means America fails. Take notice that the Republicans are willing to DESTROY the great country for their greed, bigotry, and/or political gains, and they are willing to focus primarily on protecting the greed (ie. Tax cuts, undeserved compensation, deregulations, loopholes, etc.) of the top 1% of wealthy Americans and corporations, to the DETRIMENT of the remaining 99% of Americans. Didn't americans anything from electing that meat head Bush? My advice to americans - if you want the U.S to move FORWARD in a positive, effective, fair, and successful way, then WAKE UP and DON’T VOTE for Republicans . . . Vote for Democrats (Senate and House) and re-elect Obama 2012!
Peace & Love.

David Cameron Under Immense Pressure.
David Cameron is facing mounting pressure to condemn a Tory MP who branded the Olympic opening ceremony "leftie multicultural crap". Aidan Burley, who was forced to quit as a ministerial aide after attending a Nazi-themed stag do last year, delivered the barb on Twitter during the event on Friday night.
One post read: "The most leftie opening ceremony I have ever seen - more than Beijing, the capital of a communist state! Welfare tribute next?" Shortly afterwards he added: "Thank God the athletes have arrived! Now we can move on from leftie multi-cultural crap. Bring back red arrows (sic), Shakespeare and the Stones!" London Mayor Boris Johnson added his voice to a barrage of criticism, dismissing the comments as "nonsense". Whilst visiting the Olympic Park on the first day of the Games, the Conservative politician said: "It was actually the truth about this country in the last two or three hundred years told in a big, dynamic way. People say it was all leftie stuff. That is nonsense. I'm a Conservative and I had hot tears of patriotic pride from the beginning. I was blubbing like Andy Murray." He added: "The thing I loved was the heavy political stuff. I loved the emergence of the urban proletariat and the rise of the chimneys and the forging of the ring." Downing Street moved quickly to distance Mr Cameron from the comments, with a senior source saying simply: "We do not agree with him." But Cannock Chase MP Mr Burley struck a defiant tone in interviews, insisting he still thought the event had been "trite". He told the BBC: "I wasn't having a go at multiculturalism itself, I was having a go at the rather trite way, frankly, it was represented in the opening ceremony." He admitted his tweets might not help his career but said he welcomed the debate. Labour frontbencher Michael Dugher said: "David Cameron should show some leadership and demand a full apology from Aidan Burley immediately. Burley has got form. His comments were stupid, ignorant and offensive. David Cameron has said that the Conservative Party has changed but it is clear from the words of his own MP that not a lot has changed."
What do you think about this issue ? Leave a comment below :-)
Peace & Love.

London Olympics 2012 - The Opening Ceremony.
Like many of you, I've spent the last six months making an Olympic sport of complaining about the Olympics. Complaining, I felt, is what we do best, along with being cynical, unwelcoming to visitors, and a bit moany about traffic. All the bloody adverts! Giving directions to tourists! Those awful mascots. Danny Boyle was going to have to come at me with a wrecking ball to break down the barriers of uninterest that I had erected. And in a way he did. In fact, it's really hard writing this without the excessive use of capitals. I don't think I've ever felt quite such a bewildering mixture of true excitement and national pride over things I never really had an opinion on before, like Harry Potter, or Mr Bean, who had me weeping with laughter. During the runup I was aware that there are things about England that I am proud of. Not sport, really, but culture, and the NHS. To see this reflected on the screen during the opening ceremony actually blew my mind. I thought the NHS scene was incredibly brave, and I loved how much pop music featured. I feel like Boyle got the tone right every step of the way. It was knowing, but sincere, dark and hilarious, like we are. And it was everything I needed to get excited about the next few weeks. By the end of the night, I was so addicted to patriotism I started cheering for countries that I'd love to visit, or that I'd once met someone from. It felt amazing. I think all the medals should be melted down and made into one giant medal for Danny Boyle. They should just make him king of something. He should get to marry the Queen. Neither the royal wedding or jubilee gave me warm feelings towards the monarchy, but the sight of the Queen jumping out of a helicopter with James Bond has just made me her biggest fan. I love how deadpan she was. It's like she's spent the last 60 years gearing up towards this moment, so we could see that her no-smile policy is a humour device. I feel like Kenneth Branagh in the industrial revolution scene right now, looking upon Britain with satisfaction and pride. All the best to all the countries participating in the 2012 London Olympics but I for one am TEAM KENYA !! Lets go, Kenya Lets Go !
Peace & Love :-)

Casual Outfit Of the day.
This is a casual outfit that I love especially when running errands.
Blazer - Vintage
Scarf - Hong Kong
Jeans - New Look
Sandals - Primark.
I miss my braids, I had them done in Kenya whilst on holiday there in March/April (2012)
My definition of Faith.
Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to. Just
like Martin Luther King said "Faith is taking the first step even when
you don't see the whole staircase". Faith is believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. You can't
see the future, yet you know it will come; you can't see the air, yet
you continue to breathe.
Be blessed!
Peace & Love.

Planning Your Future.
It isn't enough just to want something.
You've got to ask yourself,
"What am I going to do to get the things that I want."
You're going to need a plan.
Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists
between where you are right now
and the goals that you want to reach.
With a definite, step by step plan, you cannot fail,
because each step will carry you along to the next step, like a track.
All you need is the plan, the road map,
and the courage to press on to your destination.
Knowing where you're going is all you need to get there.
You can't get lost on a straight road.
Planning is key !!
Peace & Love :-)
