Clinton's Michigan Stance

The Tide is Turning

Hillary, Don't be a Nader. I like you. A lot.

But this is not your year. Obama's got you beat on delegates, on states, and on the popular vote. But at this point, you can't win. Not the nomination; the Presidency. The problem here is not the delegates; it's the perception. To get the nomination you'd have to do one of two things: trade favors with superdelegates or litigate your way in.

Clinton's "Foreign Policy Experience" Just Words!

Hillary Clinton has exaggerated and outright inflated her claims of "foreign policy experience" in places like China, Ireland, Rwanda, and Kosovo. She has virtually no experience, and she is NOT ready on day one for anything more than more triangulation and deception.

A moment of wonderful

OMAR ALMODOVAR
1961 - 2008

I encourage you to click on this link and listen to "A Moment of Wonderful." It will play automatically. Omar recorded it last month even as cancer was taking him from us.

http://www.unitytampa.org/omar61.htm

Before I became politically active in 2004, I was very active in local Tampa Bay area musical theatre productions. I met Omar when he was performing as Jesus in St. Paul's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. My daughter, Rachel, was also in that show. The first time I ever heard Omar sing, I was absolutely blown away. His voice was pure heaven to me. They repeated Jesus Christ Superstar in 2002 at the Cuban Club in Ybor City.


I eventually worked and performed with Omar in at least 5 shows. I have not seen Omar for a couple of years but I am thankful that I had so many opportunities to work with him. I was blessed by knowing him, listening to him and performing with him. I am very thankful that he gave me so many moments of wonderful. I will miss his vibrant personality, striking eyes and amazing voice.

Sheri and Omar:


I am just guessing at the lyrics:

A Moment of Wonderful
by John McEwen and Omar Almodovar
recorded January 2008

Waiting I wander
I follow my feet
Walking down cold hospital halls
The funeral is simple
I quietly grieve
I feel like a prisoner of it all
Keeping covered up for fear
That I’ll lose a life… hold dear

How can I cope
How can I live
How can this be
How can I love

I sit in the moonlight
Crickets are singing
I wonder if souls live in the stars
Then in an instant
I’m looking at me
The I of the future looking back
With non-judgmental eyes
And he’s helping me to see

I can see
I can see me
I can see light
I can see love

In a moment of wonderful
Suddenly
I feel well
all is well
and I am all I need

In a moment of wonderful
I can see for miles around
I put my broken crutches down
And suddenly I can fly
In a moment of wonderful

I can see
I can see life
I can see me
I can see light
I can see love
I can see truth
I can feel peace
Tonight
