If We Judged Politicians by Their Parenting Skills…

White House, Mansion, President, Home

If the President of the United States is the one in charge of our country, wouldn’t it make sense to see how good of a job they did being in charge of another human being?

What if we paid less attention to all of the back biting at the debate podiums and started paying attention to how their kids turned out?

I’d love to see the KIDS of the candidates be interviewed…  What are they doing now?  Who would refuse to speak?  Do they show signs of coaching?  How do they react to a curve-ball question?

So if this reaches anybody in the media, I pose this challenge: ask the candidates’ kids what their childhood was like and how they think this would translate into what kind of nation we would have if their dad (or mom!) were to become president.

Sanders Last Night

Media image for bernie sanders town hall from New York PostI watched last night’s Town Hall in Iowa and though I’m not going to pontificate about my own political views, I do want to make today’s post about what Bernie Sanders had to say regarding our current mental health care system because it specifically relates to my vision of 153Promise.

(Jump to 34:20.)

Just before that, he mentions his stance on gun control.

No matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican, I’d like to hear the opposing side of this issue- NOT making mental health care accessible to all, “when they need it- not two months from today.”
