A 'Bitter' Pennsylvanian

Obama's words.......“bitter” Pennsylvania voters “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

On April 22, Pennsylvania will hold its primary election. According to Obama, I'll walk in to my polling place toting my gun and bible. After all, I am a frustrated, bitter voter. I do own a bible; don't own a gun even though the second amendment gives me the right to do so. And yes, I'm against illegal immigration and feel our borders should be more secure. I'm also against trading goods with countries that abuse workers and export products that endanger the lives and safety of consumers. Especially when our children are brokenhearted when their favorite toy is thrown out because it's a possible health threat.

Obama's sorry IF he offended us with his poor choice of words. How about he's sorry for being an elitist?

Pennsylvania's vote generally leans toward the Democrats. If jobs and industry are leaving, who is at fault?

Hopefully, when the citizens of Pennsylvania vote next Tuesday, Obama's insults won't be forgotten. On the other hand, is Hillary any better? The two of them should pave the way for Pennsylvania to finally choose a Republican in the fall.

I'M A NEWBIE

Several months ago my daughter encouraged me to start my own blog. I signed on, set up an account and then.....did nothing. I was intimidated by the whole process. I read the blogs that were posted by my daughter, Chrissy, and her friends and knew I would never be able to write so eloquently. This evening I decided to just do it. I'm not out to win a Pulitzer, for Pete's sake.

I imagine there will be many posts about my grandkids--two adorable little munchkins. I'm in PA, they're in WI. I see them as often as possible and fit lots of loving and spoiling in each visit as I can. The time I spend with them is nothing but sheer joy!

It's not football season so I won't be going off right now about the 'Stillers' or 'Mountaineers'. Had this blog been up and running the end of the football season, I would have made some very unlady-like comments about Michigan and a 'so-called' West Virginia guy.

NASCAR and Dale, Jr. could come up. Sorry, still can't cheer his team mates on and I still get a thrill when #24 hits the wall.

It's just hard to say what may show up on here. Now that I've got this first post under my belt, maybe I won't be so hesitant in the future. So I'm wondering, all you experienced bloggers out there, did you feel intimidated at the beginning, too?
