A Must See Video

Elections are frequently nasty, it seems. I have watched them since 1956 when I reached that wonderful age of 21, even collected ballot boxes a time or two and transfered them for counting. I recall some heavy mud slinging as well as some more gentlemanly debates, all in the usual, although irritating at times, retoric spent from the mouths of politicians that really never intended to please anyone but themselves in the first place. This is called politics! The rule seems to be to tell the constituents anything, get elected, and then do as you please. One thing that has never been played on a national level, at least that I can remember, is the race card. I grew up with black kids, red kids, darker than normal kids, and white kids. We all got along great, played together, sometimes almost cried together. Some of my friends are no longer around, but the memories of those missing lingers on. Today I received a video that sent chills through my body. Racism should have no place in our government, especially from a person that has been elected as our president. It is a shame when a person of that office, throws away all dignity to dishonor a special day, by asking that he be re-elected not because of his actions, not because of his achievements, but because of his race. We need unity in this country, not division. You can watch this video and respond as you feel necessary. I am sending it out to all of the citizens of this United States of American and I sincerely hope you view it, digest it, and do what you think is right. Thanks and have a great, God Blessed, Day.You can paste the url below to your browser to view the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BdjoHA5ocwU Tom Ault
