My blog received an award!

Just yesterday I found out I had been the recipient of an award called Symbelline. I was ecstatic! "What are the chances" I said to myself. When I started this blog I never thought I would get anything for it, let alone an award. 

So I looked it up and I found the following:

"Premio que se otorga a los blogs en reconocimiento de su trabajo como un medio más para lograr estrechar los lazos de amistad y, de este modo, todos y cada uno de nosotros amemos las letras y aquello que significan. "

" An award that is given to blogs in recognition for their work as a medium that achieves the expansion and/or promotion of friendly ties, so that all of us can love language and that which it signifies"

I wanna thank Zurama of "Amanecer en La Habana" who passed this honor on to me and my blog. THANKS ZURAMA... Keep up the good work!

Was Obama's Europe tour a failure?

So the other night I was watching Bill Maher and he had David Frum, Bush's old speechwriter and creator of the famous term "The Axis of Evil", as one of his guests. He had two other gentlemen who's name escape me but I believe they were Republicans as well. 

But David caught my attention because of his negativity and his utter determination to label Obama's trip to Europe as a failure because he was "rebuffed". For this guy it was all about money and how Obama's trip was a disappointing failure because he could not get the European nations to spend as much CA$H as he would've like them to. So in $$$ terms, or in David's view, it was a failure. It doesn't matter that he has helped change the tone of American-European relationship, given it was so battered by the end of the Bush presidency. Noooo...  that doesn't count because he just did not get them to open their pockets. 

Is it just money and the ability, if you can call it an ability, to impose ourselves and our views as a nation upon other nations all that the Republicans care about? Is this the meaning of success for them? 

What do you guys think? Enquiring minds wanna know...
