For whatever perverse reason, the irony in this picture drew me to it with great sadness. The man who created such a mess of a our Nation standing with respect with the man who is vilified for not having cleaned up the mess created by his predecessor in eight years, doe not having cleaned it all up in three years in office. While I had difficulty spending an entire day reliving the 9-11 sadness and loss, I was comforted in my heart that people were coming together with a slight resemblance to the patriotism not felt by our citizens (in my eyes) since WWII. Bush and Cheney did everything possible to divide us as a Nation; Obama has tried to pull us together...both administrations have failed to get successful results.
While the current terror attacks to our Nation are not in the form of visible death and destruction,they are here nevertheless. They live in the TeaParty and its sponsors, they live in the promises extracted by Grover Norquist preventing our economy from healing itself and in continuance of the slow murder of our middle class.
Those of us who see beyond the lies and hypocrisy which prevent healing to take place weep for the loss of our beloved country as it was a couple of generations ago.
