Not to be the debbie downer of clearly fun and entertaining tirade against a Nike-wearing, Gillette-shaving, Gatorade-drinking, EA Sports-playing American golfer or anything ...
... HOWEVER ...
... President Obama stared at a camera on Tuesday night and told the nation that he was planning on sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Am I the only one who thinks that this is a big deal? I am not speaking out against the war or opposing President Obama's plan; I am, however, pointing out the fact that his speech on Tuesday night will prove to be a vital moment in our generation - and in the history of our relationship with the Middle East.
And all anyone can talk about is the fact that a popular sports figure cheated on his wife?
Am I the only one who thinks that this is a little bit backwards?
(FYI - I am not condoning what he did. But - seeing as my marriage isn't any of his business, his marriage really isn't any of mine. And in all reality - if I were to pass judgments on his choices - no one is perfect. I've made mistakes, I have even made mistakes that have hurt people. Most likely WE ALL HAVE - so I cannot really wag my finger at his affair.)
I don't know ... maybe I am missing something.
(I also think that finals have made me very cranky - so if I have offended anyone, I am really sorry. Most likely at this time next week I will read this and laugh because finals will be over and I will once again know what it is like to move at a normal human pace.)

I've totally been out of the loop with the news but I did hear about both of the things you're talking about. Both situations are hard topics that's for sure! I do agree with you though...sending more troops was a huge deal. So sad that we just don't know when the war will end.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think you're right! I do think the amount of coverage given to this Tiger debacle is over the top. I really feel badly for his wife though, not him so much.
ReplyDeleteHope your papers are going well :)

ReplyDeleteI agree! I would think that sending more solders to fight and spending billions of dollars would be a little bit more important than who Tiger Woods has fooled around with. This whole war thing totally freaks me out! After the whole Iraq craziness, I was soo hopping this mess would be done and over with :-(
ReplyDeleteSarah, you and I are dangerously close to agreeing about a political current events issue. This is a special moment for us! :)
