Obama: Part II

Just a couple of hours ago, I finished reading an article criticizing Obama's foreign policy. Now, the same publication, Foreign Affairs, published an article about what Obama has done right regarding foreign policy. here: . I'm not even done with the article yet, but I realize something. I like Obama's ideologies, or his big picture ideas. I've noticed that when there is praise about him, it's about his overarching viewpoints, whereas, when he's criticized, it's about specific instances. I think that's why I'm defensive about him...because I still agree with what he's generally about. Everyone makes mistakes, and politics IS extremely tricky; you can't just do whatever you want. Although, I have to say, I am a little saddened about his allowing Shell to drill for oil in the Arctic. As the Sierra Club stated, it's a little confusing given his past decisions which have been FOR the environment. But even when I disagree with something, I can see how maybe he had to do it, and he usually says something about it being a tough decision, or something similar.

Oh, Siri...

Whenever I talk to Siri, I like to say hi to 'her' before asking my question. It makes me laugh, and 'she' still understands!

Obama

I just read an article from Foreign Affairs that criticized Obama for the way he has handled various things here I read it because I Find Foreign Affairs to be pretty non-partisan, so I figured I Should see what they have to say. I find myself oddly defensive when ANYONE criticizes Obama: even Foreign Affairs. It's a weird reaction on my part that I don't completely understand. I guess I have always liked him and thought he's done an amazing job, so I don't want to hear criticism, especially when there are two sides to everything. I feel like they were just trying to find fault. I don't know.

rainy days

I love the rainy nights, but I do miss my friend; I haven't seen him in forever!

Awww

I forgot about this picture! It's probably two years old by now. Outside of Maggiano's.

Mood

Yo, wuss up, Homies? I felt kind of bad earlier in the day, but I talked to Jenny on the phone, brushed my teeth, made some coffee, went outside and enjoyed the wind, and I feel much better. I'm still overwhelmed with life's obligations, but I'm better.

fake song

i just awoke from a nap with the lyrics, "gather round the old oak tree! gather round the old oak treeee" stuck in my head. I looked it up, and there is no such song. weird. It's a catchy song though.
