The highlight of this week with The President and American was the at home terrorist attack.
This is the President’s Statement on the incident.
President Obama:
I am shocked and saddened by the shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.

Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who Read more…
This week the President Barack Obama set out to visit Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He then traveled to Cairo, Egypt and Paris and Germany. While he was in Germany he placed a flower at a memorial at Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp, a camp where his great uncle helped to free the Jews.

alone with the painful memories that would not leave his head.
Next the President spoke at the 65th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy. Read more…
This week The President’s biggest issues were Security and Values, and A New Era for Credit Cards. The Security and Values issue came up when he chose to close Guantanamo by stating this in his address. “For the first time since 2002, we’re providing the necessary resources and strategic direction to take the fight to the extremists who attacked us on 9/11 in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We’re investing in the 21st century military and intelligence capabilities that will allow us to stay one step ahead of a nimble enemy. We have re-energized a global non-proliferation regime to deny the world’s most dangerous people access to the world’s deadliest weapons. And we’ve launched an effort to secure all loose nuclear materials within four years. We’re better protecting Read more…

President Obama was born an indigo child. Indigo children have the world in their hands. It is a state of mind but far more than that it is an ability to instinctively know the rights and wrongs of situations. The indigo child listens to their inner voice and hears the call from beyond. The indigo child is courageous and confident. Courage is not something they have to work on, it is just there deeply entrenched in their soul. The indigo child knows inside that they are special and shoulders the responsibility that comes with the role they have chosen.
We were all indigo children Read more…
