OBAMA: GAINING ON A GOAL...A REPEAT POSTING
Linden stumbled upon this posting from two days less than a year ago and thought it worth repeating…links are new.
Linden has never understood what it is that drives some people to desire something that seems to make no sense at all. Why would one want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Why would a middle-aged person want to look like a teenager? Why would one want to go to either of the polar regions? Makes no sense to Linden.
On more than one occasion, President Obama has at least intimated that he would like to be the modern day FDR. Linden would judge such a thought to be an indication of being simple minded or, at best, not being very good at history. But, President Obama is gaining on seeing this thought become reality.
In the first eight years of his Presidency, Roosevelt provided our country with an average unemployment rate of eighteen point six percent! His low point in this eight year span was fourteen point three percent! Perhaps this is the goal that President Obama has set for himself. It may yet be attainable—as it already is in some sections of our country. As Rush Limbaugh says, “I hope he fails.”

LINDEN'S LIFE
Friday brought the usual Men’s Prayer Breakfast and I took Chris, our church intern, to lunch.
On Saturday, the usual men’s meeting at Kingsway was canceled. The Avon Writers Group met at 10:00. In the evening I watched a movie that is the only one I remember as being one that my Dad attended with me. Enjoyed the movie and the memory.
Sunday brought church and Sunday school but didn’t go to brunch:
I had slept really poorly Thursday and Friday nights and did pretty well Saturday night. Still was so tired that I took a two hour nap immediately after Sunday school. Went to a dandy church picnic in the evening held in the shady drove on the North property. A very short walk for me.

WRITING AND PUBLISHING. Contact me at lswift8@aol.com to request information relative to ordering any of my eight books and one CD.
REACHING OUT. I normally contribute modestly in a number of areas. Now I also contribute a portion of book sales income to new or enhanced areas of support.
