I'm glad Obama got re-elected today. His policies stand for integrity and should be the guiding principles that all individuals adopt, for without it, we as a human race, devoid of compassion and humanity, simply become self absorbed and narcicistic.
Today column inches are wasted on Donald Trump, spouting his hate filled verbal rampage over twitter. As far as I see, all he cares about is himself and the dollar and he doesn't care who he tramples on to get what he wants.
Whilst I was thinking of how best to respond, a good friend of mine http://oldmanrich.blogspot.co.uk/ reminded me of a quote from a previous UK MP that really sums up what our priorities are:
Michael Foot on the purpose of Government:
"We are not here in this world to find elegant solutions, pregnant with initiative, or to serve the ways and modes of profitable progress. No, we are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves. That is our only certain good and great purpose on earth, and if you ask me about those insoluble economic problems that may arise if the top is deprived of their initiative, I would answer 'To hell with them.' The rich can take care of themselves. They always do. "
Sensible words indeed....
