I Just Can't Escape Ignorance, No Matter Where I Go!

As I completed my evening cleaning, I decided to wander on Facebook for a while (surprise, surprise LOL). As I look on one of my friend's wall, what do I happen to see? A profile picture of one of her friends that depicts Hitler with a swastika one on half of the pic and President Barack Obama with an American flag on the other half. But, the kicker is the title underneath. It reads: "Same Shit, Different Asshole". Wow...

So, I'm kind of speechless at the moment. I mean, comparing President Obama to Hitler--really? Seriously? I knew people were ignorant, but geez that's just plain hateful!

I feel sorry for the individual whose profile picture it is, but in a way I feel angry. REALLY ANGRY. I know everyone is entitled to his or her opinion (in regards to politics, religion, etc.), but why continue to pass around the ignorance? It's no secret to anyone who knows me is aware of my admiration and respect for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. I realize I need to develop tough skin in regards to the strong (and unreasonable) criticism he and his family face what seems like DAILY! Don't get me started on this birth certificate business (I digress). I can respect people who are skeptic, but it's a complete different ball game to be full of spite and venom!

He's been in office for less than a year and Bush was given eight. You do the math...

The point is I know President Obama is not perfect. But, he makes sense! Much more sense than our previous leader. He's real, he's refreshing and he's hopeful. People need that right now!

I need that right now...
