WHAT HAPPENED TO HUMAN RIGHTS?

I am supportive of the Obama Administration; however, their lack of attention to the matter of genocide on international lands has taken a backseat to domestic issues. It is clear he needs to appoint his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to do what she does best. Get in people's faces and demand answers. Bringing this issue to the forefront of the media again so that Genocide and Human Rights Violations are brought to an end. Former President Bashar and war-monger has claimed a legitimate win in the Darfurian Elections, but his win is anything but legitimate. Bring the world's attention back to this matter and demand his relinquishment of power.

Sign the Petition. Demand Darfur Justice.

Signing off. Our president is a 5 year old. Click for Link to a Reuters Op-ed.

I'm taking a small vacation to go see something new.. preferably without having any ability to check my email, the internet or listen to the radio.

Our president has reverted in age to that of a 5 year old. Name calling and pointing fingers at anyone but himself and his administration. And I'm so frustrated that there is nothing I can do to rectify his idiocy.

In particular: Mr. Bush, aka the man running out country made these quotes:

"Because Congress failed to act, it will be harder for our government to keep you safe from terrorist attack," Bush said.

That's about as anti-productive as saying the Darfur conflict would end if Al-Bashir would just hold up his end of the bargain. Even in context, it makes no sense what so ever to make a comment such as this... We learned about "constructive critism" in 4th grade... and if you didn't go to school, your parents, mentors, employers.. someone would have taught you to say nothing all at if you couldn't say something nice.

And his second blasphemous comment:

Bush had offered to delay his Africa trip if House Democratic leaders would stay to enact "a good bill."

Instead, he [Bush] said, "House leaders chose politics over protecting the country -- and our country is at greater risk as a result."

Really? I'd prefer if he doesn't go to Africa, he'll just draw attention to the fact that the United States is a country of talk and no action filled more with lies and unkept promises of foreign aid.

However
There is something we can do. We can advocate. Write letters to our senators, to the president, to anyone who will listen and let the people who run this country know that it's citizens want action, not empty promises.
