Letter from Bush Girls to Obama’s Daughters
I had heard about this moving letter from George Bush’s daughters, Jenna and Barbara. As they were seven years old when their Grand Father entered the oval office they didn’t have the same concept of what was happening within the halls of the White House as when their own father took the oath of President. Now they share this moving piece of advice and inspiration for President Obama’s two daughters, Malia and Sasha. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the...

Since that time a lot has...

Read MoreNew Zealand in my sights
Just about to start packing for New Zealand. I’m up early and off to the airport for a morning flight that sees me in NZ by mid afternoon. Although a Pom from birth, growing up in New Zealand has a profound affect on a person and I always love coming home to NZ. Whether its the isolation from the rest of the world or the sense of comadarie that is birthed in a ‘can do’ country where everything can be fixed with a length of number eigth fencing wire the nation has a homing pigeon DNA that you get free on sign-up. This trip is a very special one for me as discussions within...
