A TIME TO REFLECT

December 2oo9 is soon to close. God be willing that we all have a wonderful,

healthy and prosperous New Year to come.

I hope that the world community will take time out to reflect on the greater

purpose of life as we know it an learn to understand each other a little

better than we currently do.

Heres to the hope that we learn to be more tolerant to others who are

different in there ways, means & cultures.

We were all set upon this world with Equality an Love. But it is man kind

which chooses the en-equalities an hatred that pollute our very existence.

It is written "Blessed Be The Peace Makers" they will be the children of God.

That peace must be cultivated in oneself, so please my world family reflect

with your inner heart for the profound understanding.

A gift waiting for the taken. A gift for you from the father of all of us.....

Lets pray that our leaders gain the wisdom an the right understanding in

in the policies that they mandate.

In ending war we must learn to end the war that's in our hearts. That's where

the Jihad or the real holy war is seated.

Oh! lets not forget to be respectful in what we do within our personal family structures

and local communities which is the backbone of what translates on the world stage......

Lets all come together an sing a song of Love & Peace...Butch Leake

THIS IS IT

Poetic Brilliant Fantastic... There are so many ways you can describe this film.

One thing for sure the world has missed out on one helluva concert.

Michael Jackson has raised the bar to levels in this film that is an inspiration and a
challenge to any striving artist who really wants to be great in this business of music.

From the out set you see a man who is totally in control of what he wants to do an see in
what was to be his come back and final concert appearance.

The first concert rehearsal movie ever, filmed on the stage at the O2 Arena in London is fill with performers, musicians, choreographers, crew members and craftsmen, but the movie's focus throughout is on Jackson.

You understand what it takes to attain such dizzying heights in entertainment.

Michael the genius as he is chisels an carves away in his search for this beautiful
concert surrounded with the theme of love. (SURELY A MASTERPIECE IN THE MAKING)

There are split scenes where Michael is performing in different out fits to the same song.

In front of a Sony green screen 11 male dancer are transformed into 11million.

Michael in another scene in the movie during his performance of the song "Smooth
Criminal" is shot in black & white in a gangster roll with the late actors
Susan Haywood, Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart.

Kenny Ortega the director of the stage show, has put together this movie from 120 hours of digital video footage -- for which Sony reportedly paid $60 million.

Following Tuesdays premieres, the film has opened on more than 3,400 domestic screens along with 96 in Imax theaters and another 27 internationally for a two-week run. That run will be extended if demand is there.

This is a must see film if you are a Jackson fan. A fine tribute to a man much misunderstood.

THE HATERS

Once again the ugly side of politics in America raises it's hand as critics and hawks
spit there venom against the President Of The United States.

In the latest round of Obama bashing, the Haters have taken aim at his recent
Nobel Peace Award.

There is nothing this man can do, say or just happen to be part of that isn't
up for stone throwing.

Truth is truth the haters do not want the president to win anything that has
peace attached to it while we are in the middle of a war in Afghanistan.
Particularly when the generals want 40,000 troops or more as generals always want.

Sen Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) head of the intelligence Committee, said the US
would be in "Serious jeopardy" of losing the war if Obama failed to meet the
request of Gen Stanley McCrystal for major troop buildup to the current level
of 67,000 men.

On the other end in London, Secretary of State Clinton slammed the Bush Administration
conduct of the Afghan war in defending Obama's lengthy decision-making process.

During the Vietnam war Gen. William Westmoreland wanted 100,000 more troops
from Lyndon Johnson until he finally said know but he kept pushing for the troop
buildup which he called 550,000 the "minimum essential force" and 670,000 the "optimum".

Westmoreland said he could finish the job in three years, well history has already
answered that issue.

Now the Nobel Peace Prize has become more trivial because the rest of the world
feels he deserves it.

He didn't ask for it, an the many more problems that it brings to his table.

Oh! what about the president of the world, he didn't ask for that either.

The other guy before him wanted that.

Well now where are these troops to come from with our military over stretched
as it is. There is something called the draft an you know, you haters it will be your
sons and daughters who will fill some of those ranks. We will see how you like that.

THE TIME IS NOW

President Obama rips the GOP an those that have been on a campaign to
derail his health care plan.

He made his appeal to Congress an the nation last night to revive his troubled
young presidency and crusade to give health care to all Americans.

It was a dark moment that showed the depth of the divide an the the partisan politics
being played out between the parties.

The President having to confront critics from all around him has to meet the challenge
of pleasing conservative Democrats who fear he will do to much and Republicans
who are crying doom.

In his speech he said he was the first President to take up the cause an he is
determined to be the last President to do so.

With a gloomy look on there faces, the GOP sat there listening as he spelled out his
agenda.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, "You Lie" at the President.

Still insisting he will heal the partisan divide, Obama lashed out at the GOP who
he blames for distorting the debate and staking the future on defeating reform.

The truth is those who seek to derail the President, just haven't come to terms
that he has out classed them on every level since before and after coming to office.

The GOP has never had a sound agenda or a candidate that could bring one forward.

This talk of socialism coming from the right is just another diversion created to
try an derail his election promises.

Change for Washington is a hard nut to swallow for those politicians who have been
entrenched in the old way for so long.

"I will not waste time with those who have made calculation that it's better politics
to kill this plan, than improve it" he vowed.

"if you misrepresent what's in the plan we will call you out"

He said he understood how difficult the health care debate has been an know that
many in the country are deeply skeptical that Government is looking out for them.

Obama admitted saying it would be safer to delay reform......

We did not come to fear the future; we came here to shape it.....
