COFFEE BREAK 7

+ The response to Obama's speech last night according to polls is overwhelmingly favorable. I was impressed with his enthusiasm for the job even as he faces a huge crisis. He has lots of energy, determination, compassion and intelligence. We are blessed.

+ My response to Obama's speech to Congress last night is expressed masterfully in “
Obama's Masterful Speech” by Theda Skocpol. Here's an excerpt: "Overall, I am in awe of how effectively Obama combined human empathy with a projection of authority, and patriotic Americanism with a realistic assessment of where we really stand in a competitive world."

+ In a couple of days I head for England for 2 weeks and my blogs will probably be neglected. If any blog gets a post, it will probably be
The Abundancetrek Travel Blog. Mary will be meeting with Nursing Research colleagues during the trip.
