President Barack Obama talks to CNN's Jake Tapper about marijuana legalization in an exclusive interview. It's becoming legalized all over. Will major corporations grow up around the industry? That is the question posed. Our answer is of course it will.

Mary Ball Washington, Mother of George Washington, Lancaster, Virginia
Mary Ball Washington - Mother of George Washington from Chuck Thompson
From the book above:
The mothers of famous men survive only in their sons. This is a rule almost as invariable as a law of nature. Whatever the aspirations and energies of the mother, memorable achievement is not for her. No memoir has been written in this country of the women who bore, fostered, and trained our great men. What do we know of the mother of Daniel Webster, or John Adams, or Patrick Henry, or Andrew Jackson, or of the mothers of our Revolutionary generals?
When the American boy studies the history of his country, his soul soars within him as he reads of his own forefathers: how they rescued a wilderness from the savage and caused it to bloom into fruitful fields and gardens, how they won its independence through eight years of hardship and struggle, how they assured its prosperity by a wise Constitution and firm laws. But he may look in[2] vain for some tribute to the mothers who trained his heroes. In his Roman history he finds Cornelia, Virginia, Lucretia, and Veturia on the same pages with Horatius, Regulus, Brutus, and Cincinnatus. If he be a boy of some thought and perception, he will see that the early seventeenth century women of his own land must have borne a similar relation to their country as these women to the Roman Republic. But our histories as utterly ignore them as if they never existed. The heroes of our Revolution might have sprung armed from the head of Jove for aught the American boy can find to the contrary.
Thus American history defrauds these noble mothers of their crown—not self-won, but won by their sons.

GVLN - Leaked White House Information - Obama's Second Term

What the press will site as Romney's fall will be the video released about him the other day that supposedly leaked his true colors. We watched with great interest as reports were coming out after our own on the video saying the video was already viral on YouTube. When we saw the video on YouTube it only had 339 hits. That is not viral. However, it was well anticipated that the video would go viral within a few days seeing as it was getting so much press play that the press was creating a frenzy that would surely create a viral video out of it. Also as already reported, that video of Romney was held for months before being released.
Congratulations Mr President on your second term.

Democrats and Republicans Should Seriously Consider Mitt Romney As Next President

We are not against Barack Obama in any way. Let's just say he has done a fine job in one of the toughest periods this nation has ever gone through. We are not going to say that he would not do fine in a second term.
What we are saying is let's look at the real facts of where we are right now and where we want to go as a nation. Barack Obama has no real world business experience. He was trained more for politics than anything else. There is nothing wrong with that. Mitt Romney brings forth to the podium for all of us to consider his background as both a very successful business man as well as a very successful politician.
It is these two qualities that have the potential to bring us out of our present situation more than any other. With Mitt Romney's background in both politics and business, who is more ready and able to deal with and work with businesses to help get the economy going? Barack Obama does not easily speak the language of business. As a politician, Mitt Romney is also ready to deal with tough issues of our nation and has been studying the problems for a number of years now. Barack Obama has not had the luxury to sit back in a relaxed environment to study the issues, he has had to face them head on.
Yes, Barack Obama knows where this nation is right now better than anyone based on his being the commander in chief. However, how much time has he had to reflect on what is going on? He has to act. Mitt has had ample time to reflect and develop better plans.
This next part you are welcome to argue all you want, but Mitt Romney is more likely to protect our Constitution, family values, religious rights as well as the right to not participate in any form of religious beliefs better than Barack Obama. Mitt has a large family himself and so he knows what it takes to care for and protect than family. That is not to knock Barack Obama who is also a family man, but Barack Obama does not know what it is like to take care of such a large family and do what it takes.
You can easily get all the background information on both candidates all over the net. What we are saying here is dig deeper into who you are considering and look at the bigger picture. Get out of the mud slinging and just turn it off. Look at what each candidate brings to the plate and make a careful consideration.
If you are a Democrat, step back and take a look at Mitt's past and present and you will see that you share a lot of the same values. Stop letting the press make your decisions for you. This race is very close and will continue to the wire very close. We wish both candidates the best.
