    The great USA

    I was watching what was going on in Mumbai last night on my 60 inch big screan tv thinking how nice we have it in America.

    Every time somthing like this happens i think how can prople be so mean.

    Im hoping the rest of the world will take a differt look at us when Obama takes office.Bush has got every body hating us.I know Barack has made some moves the left dont like but im going to give him a pass till he takes office.

    By the way Joan i was in San Francisco on vacation last summer I fell in love with the city.
