The recent trip President Obama took to Asia to bring business and trade to the United States has exposed a critique that many have observed for some time. Allowing false and petty criticisms to go unchecked. Obama’s opponents are not just criticizing him. They’re attempting to trivialize his Presidency and that’s upsetting.

The Monday night football game this week was a lesson in life and redemption. I only saw the first half, but that was enough.

It’s not the end of the world (though political parties would make you think that Armageddon would come if you didn’t vote them or their party). This was the most negative campaign season EVER. Nationwide, billions of dollars were spent on negative campaigns. One gubernatorial candidate in California spent over $165 million dollars of her own money to get her message out and it was almost all spent on a negative message bashing her opponent.
