Please pardon the raw footage -- it's really hard to hold still in the middle of one of these. (Note the Make it Right houses in the background, plus the bridge over the now-infamous Industrial Canal): Sounds of a second line
What a pleasant surprise to see Brian on 'Today" commenting on President Obama and the interview. Clearly, there was discomfort. This is a subject Mr. Obama is not comfortable with. The first in all avenues will always carry the burden of being first. President Obama will always have to tackle outrageous doubts about being born in America, being a Muslim, whether or not he is a racist. I feel for him. A burden too heavy for one man to bear.
On the phone for 30 minutes with my Mom discussing Glenn Beck. You cannot make such a strong, direct statement such as "Obama is a racist," then now to rethink. We should hold Beck accountable for always wanting center stage. This is what it was - CENTER STAGE. Recently Beck, on his radio talk show, said, "Everyone, lately is profiting from my name."
Big ego, don't ya think?
Someone needs to remind Sarah Palin that when addressing the President it is not "Obama"- the proper address is "President Obama."
He has EARNED it. The President did all society and man ask and require.
He was sworn in as President of these UNITED STATES.
Cynthia, my phone does not show the image so I will have to catch a glimpse later.
Bye all.
**My pal says Brian and Lester are putting in some serious working hours. Thanks a bunch. (This was her morning text to me.)

I have a good idea It would be fantastic if the Today show would emerge with Meet the Press with
David, Brian and Lester. Phyllis Kunz
