This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hampton Hotels are just one of the large chain of hotels your family could choose to stay at; while on vacation or just taking a road trip to a weekend getaway. The other big hotel chains aren’t offering a chance for you and your friends to stay at any one of their locations for FREE! The nice folks from Hampton are and I will explain more on how you and your closest buddies and family members can enter to win this fabulous Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. Let me first tell you about the Hampton Hotel’s location I would choose, if I was lucky enough to win this hotel sweepstakes.

My winning sweepstakes entry from Hampton Hotels would take me across the country. I would leave my home in Georgia and head west to California. I would select a historic place in California to stay at on my trip. The historic Route 66 is also the main street in Barstow, California. A long time ago, there was a big gold rush to Barstow, California. Many gold miners packed up and moved to Barstow hoping they would strike it rich. There was a lot of gold found in this area of California and even today the area is still rich in gold.

Barstow is not a travel destination for most travelers. However, I am not most travelers. I am a gold miner and someone who loves to pan for gold. I would love to go here one day and give the area of Barstow, California a try and see if I can find any of the gold, the Old Timers left behind. If I won this Hampton Hotel Sweepstakes, I would be sure to take my gold panning friends with me. I’m sure they would love to go to California too and look for some of that shinny, yellow metal we know as gold! Hampton Hotels just opened a new location in Barstow and this location offers 90 luxurious rooms to guests, who need a place to stay at; while visiting Barstow, California.

Now the grand prize winner for this exciting sweepstakes, will get an entire 100 room hotel for the weekend! You and all of your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone else you know, could all get a free weekend stay for 2 nights at any Hampton Hotels location. If I won the grand prize, I would have to hold a gold mining convention in Barstow and invite gold prospectors from all over the country, so I could fill up as many of those 100 rooms as I could.

We all have a better chance of winning one of the 100 first place prizes (daily giveaway) and this is a very nice prize too. All first place winners will get a weekend stay at any Hampton Hotel’s location for free and would be able to invite 3 of their friends along. So if you want a free weekend stay at a Hampton Hotels, you need to enter the sweepstakes now. You can’t win unless you enter, so hurry and go register now for a chance to win one of these 100 first place prizes or to be the grand prize winner! I wish you good luck and be sure to come back here and let me know if you won a prize from the online Hampton Hotels Sweepstakes.

Today’s blogger doesn’t have the ability to say what they want to on their own blogs. I find this pattern disturbing and it needs to change. All bloggers should have the right to say anything on their own blogs. If a blogger creates a blog, pays for the hosting, and does all the steps necessary to make it a popular blog; then that blogger is owed praise and not limits on their freedom of speech.

Some bloggers praise companies or services they have had success with and no one ever has a problem with this side to blogging. However, when a blogger decides to vent about something in the World he or she doesn’t like, this is not the time to put restrictions on them. I have never held back any of my thoughts or opinions to my readers and followers. I give the straight truth or relay things as the way I see them. Maybe I don’t see things in the right way. If this is the case; then others have the right to create their own blogs and tell their readers how I am making a mistake. No need for governments or local laws to get involved with blogs. Bloggers have shaped the Internet and they have the power to shape the search engines to the best ways they see fit. A lot of help and useful information gets made available to people all over the World, because bloggers take their precious time to make sure this happens.

I read a lot of disturbing things about bloggers and how other states are trying to limit a blogger’s freedom online. It’s time all of us bloggers stand up for each other and defend our rights to blog about anything we want. No blogger is crossing any laws; when they express opinions and this needs to be recognized. Law makers must understand there is a difference between a blogger who tells someone to go jump off a bridge as compared to a blogger who goes out and pushes someone off a bridge. Keep that in mind the next time you want to address the popularity of blogs and the bloggers who make it happen everyday. There are 115 million blogs in the World and this is one of the largest groups in the World. Be careful when you call out a blogger, because calling out just 1 who blogs online, is like talking to millions of others who share their same love for blogging and owning a blog on the World Wide Web.

I normally have about 3 things and they all are different; that I like to munch on for snacks. I like having something fruity around like a pack of Skittles or Starbursts. Then I like to have something a little salty, which is within an arm’s reach. A bag of tater chips (potato chips) or some mixed nuts that have salt on them will work. Now once I have my salty snacks and my fruity snacks, I like to have one more thing around. My 3rd thing is to have something from the bakery, like some doughnuts or a pastry to sink my teeth into. If I have all 3 of these items around, I am pretty much set in the junk food department! What are some of your favorite snacks?

For those young ladies who are looking to go into the cosmetology field; you may want to see if there is a Regency Beauty Institute in your area. This Minneapolis based company is more than 50 years old and they continue to expand all over the country. Even the residents living in Kansas can seek hair schools in Wichita and go to one of the fine Regency campuses. An excellent way to get on a new career path or to start your first one. These beauty schools will train you in the field of cosmetology and then help to place you in a job at a salon or maybe even find you a job on a cruise ship! I know there isn’t too many people living in Kansas that dreams or plans to work on a cruise ship, since they are located far away from the oceans of the world. However, if you wanted to find a way to the ocean and get paid for it; then one of these Regency Beauty Schools would be a way to achieve that. Currently there is almost 30 campuses located in 9 U.S. states and Kansas is one of them!

My brother has been using internet satellite to book vacations for years now. When we decided this summer we would vacation together, he insisited I book our vacation using satellite internet service California.We were traveling to spend the summer with our mother in Panama City Beach, and the trip from California would be long.

We wanted to enjoy some night-life while we were there, so I used my internet satellite to find out all the hottest spots in Panama City Beach! We chose some really great clubs to visit, and were not disappointed!I also found some interesting and informative sites about the city, along with savings on all the things we were looking for.I booked our flight with the site at a discount of 30% versus the airline directly! We were staying with my mother, but I also booked a few nights in a fabulous hotel,too,so we could enjoy a few brother and sister nights. The hotel was listed on my site and I was able to save a considerable amount with it too.

I am very glad that my brother convinved me to book our Panama City Beach vacation online.It was super easy and I saved a lot of time and a lot of money!

You probably know about gold very well. Most people own something that contains gold. It is a valuable metal and is recognized as a valuable resource for just about every nation on the planet. For centuries now, people have learned that owning a piece of gold is the best way to preserve one’s wealth and this is still true today. All young people should strongly consider the idea to buy gold bars for their long term futures and wealth. No matter how bad the economy gets in America or the country you’re living in now, the odds are very low that gold will lose its value. This shinny yellow metal has been known to hold its value through the centuries of time and no reason to think why the future would be any different. Many different cultures at some point in their existence, knew the value of gold and how it did have a shelf-life with no expiration date. This was true for the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians; who all sought gold bullion and the powers that came with gold. Many people living in the United States today, has heard stories of the gold rushes during our short history in North America. People living in the East would load up everything they owned, so they could head West to California, in the hopes they would strike it rich. Gold was also discovered in Alaska in huge quantities and there is still people mining the gold in Alaska today. Every U.S. State has had some form of commercial mining for gold at some point in history, with the exception of Kentucky and Hawaii. That doesn’t mean there isn’t gold in Kentucky or Hawaii, it just means a professional mining outfit has never set up in those 2 states. If you would like to own gold today, you have 2 ways to get it. You can go buy it from a top-notch dealer like the United States Gold Bureau or you can go out and prospect it for your self. History has proven that anyone owning gold, will be rewarded one day for their prize possession.

Let’s start to get happy in Atlanta. Our two biggest problems don’t seem like a problem at all right now. Joe Johnson is on the way out and that’s good news! Mike Woodson lost his job in the ATL and that’s even better news! Now let’s not mess this thing up anymore Atlanta and go with a coach that can get you an NBA ring. You won’t find a better coach than Maurice Cheeks the former NBA player and head coach for the Portland Trailblazers and Philadelphia 76ers. Cheeks is currently an assistant coach with the Oklahoma City Thunder and you seen how that team came to life this year. Maurice Cheeks is a big reason why and you must hire this guy for the Atlanta Hawks.

If you watched the 76ers basketball team a couple of years back, you saw what an athletic team could look like running up and down the court. Cheeks had those young stallions in Philly playing better than the Hawks more veteran and more athletic team 2 years ago. I think Maurice Cheeks would be the perfect fit for the Atlanta Hawks new head coaching job. If you want a winning basketball program in Georgia, let’s get this guy in here now, so we can watch our team play up to their full abilities. Maurice Cheeks would be the perfect hire for the Hawks and I don’t see no other head coach I would want right now. He’s the best man for the job and a man the team would support. Cheeks is a good guy and the type of coach players will want to play for. He doesn’t have a coaching system, he coaches to his players strengths and that’s why he would make a perfect head coach for the Atlanta Hawks.

The National Football League got things underway Thursday night; when they began their draft that will take place over a 3 day period. The first 2 days are in the books and the Atlanta Falcons are struggling badly. They have failed to land any quality players yet. They also passed up on a local wide receiver that played his college ball in Atlanta at Georgia Tech. The Falcons need a good core of receivers to add to their franchise player Matt Ryan. The quarterback is important for all football teams, but Ryan is the star player in the ATL. Why Atlanta won’t build around him, is beyond me. Demaryius Thomas from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets would have filled a big void on the team and he was available at 19; which the Falcons passed on, to take a linebacker from Missouri that brings no star power to the team. A bad draft and no big splashes in the free agent market yet, is leaving the Dirty Birds behind the rest of the NFC South; which is improving this off season. The Dunta Robinson signing for our secondary is the biggest thing Atlanta has done this off season and he’s nothing to get excited about. Atlanta slipped this past season from their impressive start with rookie QB Matt Ryan. Their decline in his sophomore year looks to be a pattern the Falcons are in right now and we are probably looking at a 6 and 10 season this year. Unless a miracle finds a path into Hartsfield Airport and we can snag a couple of really good football players, instead of these mediocre players they seem to go after each year. No star power coming to Atlanta and no playoffs for the Dirty Birds in 2010/2011 season, that’s for sure!

The Atlanta Falcons Draft Board for 2010 (first 2 days)

#19 Sean Weatherspoon- Short linebacker that doesn’t get off blocks from linemen. Good speed in the open field, so will prevent the other teams from hitting the home run play, but won’t have enough physical power to stop NFL running backs at the line of scrimmage.

#83 Corey Peters- SEC player is the only bright thing on the resume here. Will be another wasted pick for D-Line in Hotlanta. The number 2 overall pick from Nebraska was the guy the Falcons could have used and been their dream defensive linemen. Failing to pay the high price tags for the T-Bone steak players, is one of the reasons that make the Falcons a chopped liver team in the NFL.

#98 Mike Johnson- Congrats on back to back SEC players! Johnson only makes the team, due to the lack of depth the Falcons have in the talent pool. This kid from Bama wouldn’t make the team for half of the teams in the NFL.

No offensive weapons for Matt Ryan to develop into the next great QB in this league. I’m sure he will welcome free agency and don’t be surprised to see Matt Ryan playing for the Houston Texans or Arizona Cardinals; when he departs the Peach State.

Gold Still To Be Found…

A lot has changed in the ways we go about looking for gold and in some ways nothing has changed. Gold is still valuable and if you can find enough of it, this precious shinny metal can make you very rich. Just look at George “Buzzard” Massie who decades ago showcased about 1.5 million dollars worth of gold on the Merv Griffin Show. That gold is worth a whole lot more today and the gold on the Merv Griffin Show is probably gone now; just like the untimely passing of the Buzzard back in 1993. While lots of gold was taking from the hills, mountains, rivers, and streams of this great country; a lot more gold still remains out there for anyone willing to look for it.

I’m surprised we don’t have more people out prospecting for gold than we do today. Especially in recent years and watching an ounce of gold soar to over $1,000. I think anyone would be smart to check the backyard and local streams for a little color and see if they can find any gold in their parts of the world. All states in the northern part of the country was covered by ice. The glaciers back from the Ice Age left gold in all the states in the northern regions. The gold found in the South came from a result of the African continent riding over this land more than 250 million years ago. If you live in the United States, there is a good chance gold is nearby you. Obviously the deposits are greater in some areas compared to other areas.

The modern day prospectors can still find this gold. As Tom Massie, the son of George Massie, always like to say “the old timers didn’t find all of that gold and there is still some out there to be found“. I know this has led me to have “gold fever” and I began my search today looking for gold. I didn’t have any luck, but did find some good deposits of black sand. This black sand is heavy and goes to the bottom of your gold pan like gold does. Where you find gold, you will always have black sand. However, there isn’t gold in all the places where you find black sand. I was just happy to get outdoors and began my panning techniques. I have been watching the gold shows that come on the Outdoor Channel for the last 6 months. I picked up a lot of good panning techniques and I believe mine are good enough to find some gold. It’s just a matter of finding places now and discovering where that gold is hiding. I do expect to find some gold this summer and that’s pretty much my plans for this year. You can add my name to the list of modern day prospectors and hopefully I will find enough gold somewhere to be known as a legend one day and have my name added to the list of names that make up the Georgia gold stories in my state.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

If I had to venture a guess on the number 1 item bought this past Christmas, I would have to guess the cell phone. The cell phone’s popularity continues to amaze me and now technology is helping to sustain that popularity. New technology is making it possible for our cell phones to do just about anything and just when we thought they couldn’t get more advanced, a new feature will emerge. My cell phone is very basic and I like it that way. I get confused on navigating some of the newer cell phones, so I do like my cell phone simple. This isn’t the way most people feel, because the more features on a cell phone today, means the more people will want them.

Can a cell phone vacuum my living room? Can a cell phone walk my dog? No, they can’t do things like this yet and I do stress “yet”, because I wouldn’t put anything past the minds that are working with cell phone technology right now. I can tell you about the LG Chocolate Touch and this is about as high tech as it gets with cell phones and no one would have ever believed that a cell phone could do so much. The Chocolate Touch can make and receive calls like any other cell phone can. It also has the ability to send text messages, surf the Internet, take pictures or videos, and has a music player with Dolby Mobile technology for a clear and quality sound. This phone probably plays music better than your car radio or the stereo inside your home. It also features a one-touch button for those popular social networking websites like Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook.

The thing that separates the LG Chocolate Touch from other cell phones with similar features is the amount of quality devoted into each feature. Like with the Dolby Mobile technology that allows users to hear their music in a high quality setting. The 3.2 MP Camera/Recorder is also a high quality feature for pictures and videos and even has it’s own image editor included. The Mobile Media includes text, picture, video, and voice messaging at top-notch quality. It also includes visual voicemail, so you could include an image with the messages you leave for family and friends. If that wasn’t enough, I will go ahead and mention the Rhythmical Beat that vibrates the handset to the beat of the music. How cool is that? A lot of people got cell phones for Christmas this year, but the ones that received an LG Chocolate Touch might have got the best cell phone there was to get this Christmas.

I would love to take a trip to Malaysia someday. It’s just one of the many places I would like to visit along the Pacific Rim. You can look online for pictures of Malaysia and see just how beautiful this part of the world is. I hope Accor Hotels has some more of these specials in the future, so I can save money on my trip to Malaysia. I also think a trip to China and seeing the Great Wall is a must for everyone. The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure that is visible from outer space. Everyone that gets the opportunity to walk on the Great Wall all come away with an experience they will treasure for the rest of their lives. China and Malaysia would be very high on my list of places I would like to visit someday. I can’t leave out New Zealand either, because it’s natural beauty is amazing too. Which country in the Asia Pacific would you like to visit most? Please let me know which country you would choose to visit from the list above and why you picked it.

The brave men and women that go to work everyday to insure our daily safety, have to buy their own safety items to provide them safety on the job. Firemen need good communication products, clothing, and other things to do their jobs fast and safely. It’s a lot more than just grabbing a hose and putting water on fires. A firemen that was looking for some good throat mics could find them online at a New York based company called Comtrex. They have recently redesigned their equipment page for the fire fighters to help them find these very important tools they need; while working in their dangerous line of work. Comtrex isn’t done with their redesigning efforts and they plan to fix up the main site soon.

Comtrex has a lot of products they offer to firemen and other law enforcement workers. It’s not easy putting up so many items online and then breaking them down into categories so they are easy to find. There are a lot of categories to choose from at Comtrex, but they have to do this in order to provide so many products, for so many different people. It is pretty easy to navigate and most first time users will find their way around, once they see how the categories break down into different groupings. My first time there, I did think they had too many categories on the left hand side of the sidebar. After seeing how many items they were actually selling, I saw their reasoning behind all the category links on the left side of the page. I don’t think you can put a price on safety, but the items do appear to be reasonably priced. I could easily see Comtrex being a website that is saved to “favorites” by fire departments all across the country.

The NBA is back in Georgia and tonight will be a chance for the Atlanta Hawks to display their basketball talents to the nation. The Atlanta Hawks will be hosting the Orlando Magic at Philips Arena in preseason action. Orlando had a big year last year and they made it all the way to the NBA Finals. I’m sure they are eager to get started this year and they have added Vince Carter to their arsenal of weapons. This will be a tough team for the Hawks to do battle with this year, but winning this preseason game tonight could set the table for later on.

It should be fun watching Josh Smith lead the young Hawks into another great season this year. I’m ready for some NBA basketball and I’m glad ESPN will be showing tonight’s game on television. It gives us all a chance to see the Hawks play ball, before they start the real games next week. All eyes will be on one of the newest Hawks player Jeff Teague. There is do doubts Teague can score at the NBA level. If he can knock down the NBA 3 Pointer is a question mark and his point guard skills is another thing he will have to improve on. Jason Collins has been hurt and not sure if we will see him play tonight or not. The Hawks made a great trade for Jamal Crawford and I look forward to seeing him play basketball in a Hawks uniform. Well it’s getting close to game time, so better start getting ready to watch the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic Game. Good luck to the Hawks this year and this team really does need to get off to a good start, for a big time confidence booster.

The NHL hockey season is back and teams are once again skating around on the ice. The Atlanta Thrashers started their season by hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning in Philips arena. The Thrashers came out in fine fashion and led their opponents by a 2 to 0 score after the first period. It didn’t end there and the Thrashers scored two quick goals in the 2nd period to take a 4 to nothing lead over the Lightning. After that, the team from Tampa Bay, Florida did make a comeback and started to score some goals. However, Tampa could never stop the Thrashers skaters from scoring and the game ended with the Atlanta Thrashers winning by a 6 to 3 score.

This was a good way to start the new NHL season for the Atlanta Thrashers. They now get a long rest period and will not play again until this Thursday when they take on the St. Louis Blues in St. Louis, Missouri. A real test will come this Saturday when the Thrashers travel up to Canada to take on the Ottawa Senators. If the Thrashers can win their first 3 games of the season; then Atlanta will be buzzing over their hockey in hotlanta.

The 18 year old rookie Evander Kane played well in his first outing. We also seen some good play from Ilya Kovaluchuk and Rich Peverley who both scored 2 goals each in Saturday’s win over the Lightning. Bryan Little continued his hot play from last year and he looked really good on the ice in Philips Arena on Saturday. If these guys continue to play well around the development of Zach Bogosian who also scored a goal in the Thrashers first game; then we might just see playoff hockey in Atlanta in 2010. The team does have a good mix of young and old players on the roster and perhaps 1 more good trade before the NHL All Star break, could push this Thrasher team into a winning season this year. I guess we will just have to take the first win for now and see how the team plays in St. Louis Thursday, before we can start talking playoffs. They won’t be losing too many games if they can continue to score 6 goals a game.

If you’re a fan of Major League Baseball; then you probably have your eyes glued to the baseball standings right now. The closer we get to the end of the season, the better shape the current divisional leaders appear to be. No worries, we have the MLB Wildcard Race to keep us happy or do we? Since the wild card race has been implemented into professional baseball, we have had some excitement coming down the stretch. We have seen team’s playoff faiths get decided on the last day of the season and in some cases needed an extra game to decide things between two MLB teams. It doesn’t appear we have that excitement this year, but there is still time for some teams to make a run.

If you’re an American League team and you’re rooting for your favorite team to get the wildcard spot, I sure hope the Boston Red Sox is your team. It would appear the American League post season teams are set and the Red Sox would be the wildcard team. The Texas Ranger fans don’t want to hear it, but they’re a full 7 games back in the wildcard standings now. It would truly take a miracle for the Rangers to go past the Red Sox in the American League. The Seattle Mariners are the next team down and they’re 11 games behind the Boston Red Sox.

It isn’t as boring in the National League and there are some teams that could have a surprise ending to their seasons and wind up in the 2009 post season. The Chicago Cubs are 7 games behind the wildcard leaders in the National League; which is the same as the Texas Rangers. However, you got 3 teams ahead of them that are trying to get the lead and then you have the team on top of the National League Wildcard Standings which is the Colorado Rockies. The San Francisco Giants are only 3 games behind the Rockies; while Florida and Atlanta are 4 and 41/2 games back of the NL Wildcard Leader. The problem you have here is that the Colorado Rockies is one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. They also have Jason Marquis on their roster and he has made the post season every time in his MLB career. He has accomplished this by being on different teams too and it makes Jason’s streak that much more impressive. The NL Wilcard Race is still in progress and there are some games left to play. If the Colorado Rockies go on a losing streak, then things could get really interesting again. I bet there are going to be a lot of Arizona Diamondback fans this weekend, because that is who the Rockies will be playing.

Right on cue and as usual the bias of the ESPN announcers toward the USC Trojans didn’t take long. Kirk Herbstreet said on GameDay Saturday that the true freshmen quarterback playing for USC Mat Barkley would be a top overall pick in the NFL draft 3 or 4 years from now. The guy had not even taken his first snap on the football field and Herbsteet saying he’s a number 1 overall NFL draft pick is just ridiculous. You get this a lot with ESPN and Kirk Herbstreet when it comes to their bias and overrated views of the USC program.

USC isn’t a top 10 team or even a top 20 team in the country. Ohio State who is their toughest game this year isn’t a top 10 team either. The guys from Navy almost sent the game into overtime with the Buckeyes last Saturday and neither team belongs in the top 10 rankings. The USC Trojans was actually losing after the first quarter to San Jose State and this performance was from Matt Barkley. He had 5 opportunities to score against their scrimmage game and couldn’t do it in the first quarter. The USC team of 2009 is no different than the team of the last 10 years and they are all over ranked.

Any team can win the big game and they are the only college in the country that gets multiple attempts at the Big Championship Game in college football. Kirk Herbstreet claims of Matt Barkley being a top overall pick when even Mark Sanchez couldn’t beat a southern boy from Georgia in the latest NFL draft; when the Detroit Lions took Matthew Stafford from Georgia.

Kirk Herbstreet needs to focus on his current job and do that right. He was announcing the “impact players” in the game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Virginia Hokies Saturday night in Atlanta and said a guy’s last name totally wrong. He wanted to say that David Wilson was an impact player, but Herbstreet called him “David Nelson” and even went on to tell us to look out for this guy. He didn’t even get no snaps or was on the field very little. Kirk Herbstreet is not doing his normal job right and his USC ties is getting in the way of his job.

During the Aflac Trivia Question, Kirk Herbstreet made the comment to ask him this next week, because he knew he would be doing the Ohio State Buckeye and USC game. Well you know what Kirk? America could care less about the USC/Ohio State game. Two over ranked teams playing sloppy football is not what we want to see. We want to see real teams like the one you had at the Georgia Dome on Saturday, but couldn’t even do your job properly there, because of your rosey glasses for the USC team.

ESPN needs to take these bias announcers like Kirk Herbstreet off the air and there is no room in college football for guys like this. College football is based on influences and guys with a voice like Kirk Herbstreet mis-use their powers and that’s why we see a true freshmen QB taking snaps for the 3rd ranked team in the standings.

I couldn’t imagine all the things my HP computer would have to say if it had a voice. I would hope it would have good things to say about me, but it might just let me have it. I know I am thankful for all the things my desktop computer does for me each day and I would be lost without it. What would our computers have to say about us and does anybody think they would be the owners of a happy computer? I think my HP desktop computer story would go something like this.

MY HP DESKTOP TALKING

He never does think that it might just be the web site’s fault and not my performance. Turning me off does help me to clean out a few things, but my peak performance doesn’t last long because he just goes right back to surfing and trying to open as many websites as he can. Those afternoon naps he takes is a good thing, but why he doesn’t turn off the air conditioner and letting me freeze is just wasting energy. It gets cold with that air blowing on me constantly; when he’s not giving me my daily workout. If he would just set me up so I wouldn’t take on all those cookies, I think life here would be fine, but what’s the point in me saving cookies for him, when he just goes back and deletes them all! Well it looks like the sun is starting to go down from my view I have of the den’s windows. Maybe those eyes of his will start to get heavy and I can get a good night’s sleep tonight.”

I think my computer would say something like that. What do you think your computer would say? If you don’t have a computer or perhaps you’re looking to buy a new computer; you should consider getting a Hewlett Packard. I love my HP desktop and if you hurry, you can get $30 off any HP computer if your purchase is $150 or more at HP Home Store.

 Obama Targeting School Kids

The President seems to be given up and now sees no hope for a successful presidency for the 4 years he will be the leader of the United States. He has already taken 3 vacations and possibly more and there was no time for vacations to the man that was going to be the newly-elected leader of the U.S.. The American economy was in a major down turn and needed immediate action to help save it and keep people from losing their jobs and homes. Barack Obama has failed to lend that help and organize officials and leaders that could have stopped this downfall.

It’s only been 8 months since the man has been in office and some are already calling him the worse president ever. The vacations and appearances he has made at strange sporting events and his time on Air Force One with Willie Mays has all led to precious time being wasted and now Americans are struggling financially, worse than they have ever had to in the past. Barack Obama has missed the boat and turned his back on the poor and hungry Americans that need his help so bad.

Obama has now turned his back on the adults and will not even try to work out things with the men and women he should be getting together with and trying to fix America. He turns his lazy and brain washing tactics on our American children now. It will be an historic day on September 8th when the President Barack Obama speaks to our children from the White House’s website. He doesn’t have anything positive or uplifting to say to our kids and this is just a political message to the youngest and most pure minds that make up our country today.

Obama is going to start his first brain washing tactics on September 8th; where he is going to target children for his ideas and political strategies. He will be trying to convince these kids why his ideas are so much better than everyone elses and how they are all wrong and his is so right. It’s an all time low for an American President and he must use kids to try and win a political game that he is failing in miserably.

Obama needs help and lots of it. The school children can’t help him and he’s talking to the wrong people. He needs to work with adults and people in positions that can really change our country for the better. His speeches to children and his vacations that he likes to take so often are just putting America and Americans so much further behind; when compared to the other countries in our world.

America is no longer a leader in the World and now we must rely on other countries for help and support. Our newest elected leader has taken his powers and job for granted and who knows how long it will take this country to recover. The only words Americans have heard from their newest leader recently has been to tell the American Press to please leave him and his family alone while they are on vacation. He really expects us to just sit back and let his family enjoy a vacation that only a man with wealth could afford; while we struggle to make it to the next day in our lives.

Let’s hope some school systems get the heads up on Mr. Obama’s plans to speak to our school children and we can stop him from spreading lies and political messages to our next generation of leaders. No schools should allow this web cast from the White House to take place in their schools and it wouldn’t be a bad idea for parents to just let their kids stay home from school on September 8th when President Barack Obama plans to brainwash our kids.
