    words are words...deeds are deeds...

    Time is coming(has come?)when Barack Obama will have to fill in the not so pored over blanks regarding what he stands for,who he stands with and what he will offer in ways of genuine political intent,action and follow through.

    Fair is fair and in election season politicians need some wiggle and waffle room.

    What GG presents here does go to principles held centers and cores.

    So...Barack Obama...this is one of many "what flag you flying?" moments now arriving or to come between here,next November and should a Obama WH come to be into all of 2009 just for starters.

    Barack...this is a "show your flag" moment.

    Words are words...deeds are deeds...
