RESIGNATION OVER THIS OIL SPILL?

As to the question from New York Times regarding whether or not President Obama should resign over this oil spill fiasco; I admit that there definitely is enough frustration to go around, but "resignation" is completely unwarranted and undeserved.

We as a people crafted the government complexities that we currently have and must bear witness to the incredible measures that one of great power must endure in order to bring about change.

Yes, even the President of these United States must follow protocol and go through the appropriate checks and balances put in place. There are other forms of government that focus on immediate change and a complete upheaval of former administrations, but at the end of the day, they're probably in countries most USA citizens would rather not call home.

The oil spill is unprecedented, so several people, agencies and organizations are all dealing with a "first" ever catastrophe~I confidently believe all involved are doing what's humanly possible to plug the leak~God knows, better them than me as if I were to be called upon to do something, folks might never see clean shores again.

Home From My Southwest Vacation!

Well, I'm BACK IN SAN JOSE after a quick jaunt through EL PASO, TX; TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, MN; SILVER CITY, NM; DEMING, NM; LAS CRUCES, NM; and JUAREZ, Mexico~We visited Geronimo Springs Museum, Overnighted for a MINERAL BATH at Indian Springs Spa, Drove through Gila Cliff Dwellings National park & Monument, VISITED local public libraries, STAYED at a 100+ YEAR OLD HOTEL; and Crossed the border for Missions hunting and BARTERING for souvenirs.

The local public library in Truth or Consequences was CLOSED during our visit, but from the outside, we could tell that it occupied the left wing of the local high school building and appears to be very well loved!


Visiting New Mexico fulfills one of my State Goals on my "50 States by the Age of 50" List!
