....that who we choose as President sends a powerful message...either positive or negative...to the rest of the world. It's one reason I didn't think we should ever elect another Bush.
But this is almost as bad. Watching the Republicans publicly act like children is sending a different negative message. They were actually saying 'He did it first' about the pictures of their wives. Pathetic.
It makes our democracy seem like a joke, when we really need to appear strong, smart and united in our values. That HAS to make Kerry's job more difficult.
This is such a critical time for so many reasons. We need the continued leadership of SOS Kerry and President Obama, but we are about to lose it. 😢

Happy Easter!!!🐣🐣🐰🐰
