How would Barack Obama do as Commander in Chief?

If your able to vote in the US elections in November or if you are interested in the election, then you should watch this speech.

How would Barack Obama do as Commander in Chief? Could he rebuild US relationships with our allies? Would he shrink from US responsibilities around the world? Would his world view make him a good president? Watch and decide for yourself.

York Photos Day 1 & 2

Hello Friends and Family, here are our photos from our fist Day in York England. We enjoyed a fabulous day of sightseeing. Things here are so OLD, and very interesting. Our tour guide described it as a layer cake of history from Roman to Viking to Anglo Saxon, the kings and queens and so on through the time line of history all up through the layers of the soil of York. More good stuff to follow!

A few pics of us heading to York...
