I was watching ABC news tonight and they were showing President Obama in his travels. He was talking to a man that had survived the holocaust and how the day his father died was the darkest of his life. His eyes in that moment told the tale without him speaking a word and yet, he survived it to speak about it. It was truly heartwarming watching it and it brought attention to the genocide in Darfur. I believe all eyes should be on him. I think Obama is on the right track to getting to the root of the problem. I only wish celebrities like Jolie would stand down through this time. This is his time to make an impact, he has the power to succeed within his reach. I feel when celebrities scream and shout about how they would handle it and what the situation needs, it lightens our Presidents message. Be it with other world leaders or even the hostile countries who might be open to hearing our President. That without interference from some outside force that needs their name in the media like Jolie. Did you hear she had a big article in Time magazine a day after being named the most pwerful celebrity in the world. Scares the crap out of me that she can gain this sort of attention in these troubled times, especially when we have a President who is clearly taking a stand to change it.Maybe she has no idea the damage she does to what could be a step towards peace for all those people she claims to care so much about. All I can say is, President Obama has my prayers, that he can take a step forward to finding the peace and making it happen. I feel he is on the right track, I don't understand any one persons need to be that obstacle standing in his way to getting it done. That's my two cents worth.I hope it is worth it's weight in gold.
