A poem, Looking back to nineteen ninety two

Love this Ruby! So clever and it flows so well. You're a master with words. LOL. :)

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Ruby. I have been reading so much negativity about Obama's re-election lately that this her poem is a breath of fresh air. I like Obama but it's the American people who has to make up their minds.

Very interesting Ruby. Well thought through, time will tell us if you are right.

Graham.

Sounds like a good dream alright. Let us hope it come true.

A wonderful share Ruby;you are one very talented lady and here's to so many more hubs for us both to share on here. I vote up and share.

I love it, Ruby! I am curious about 2016, and have been wondering who will run for the Democrats. My guess is Hillary; why else would she step down from her cabinet post? I would love to see her run, especially since the Republicans are in such disarray and totally out of touch with mainstream America. Let's hope your dream becomes reality.

Sending you warm friendship,

bill

Written with feeling and spunk...Ruby is in the house...!!

I wonder if nurses are drawn to strong women... I share your thoughts of Hillary.

You are so free...you are so lovely. Hugs, Maria

I'm with you all the way. The only trouble is I'm a resident not a Citizen so I can't vote. I was too disappointed when Hillary withdrew four years ago because I have always totally believed in her.

Vote up and Awesome, Joyce

Forget all those candidates, Ruby, and their empty promises,

You are the ONE to RUN to govern the states and the provinces.

I'm sending this note,

You now have my vote,

Because your no-nonsense ways instill the most confidence!

Promise! :) BTW - loved your great poem.

Lovely and I enjoyed the hint of humour. I hope someone close to Obama (well someone working around him) sees this and gives it to him to read. You never know Ruby.... :-)

Hello Always, you are a visionary. Looking ahead right now is brilliant. You know the GOP's war machine is retooling right now. Every dirty trick they pulled this time will be doubled in four years. You contact Hilary tell her you are on her team starting today.

I think you share the voice of countless, including me. Thank you.

So interesting to observe your political views, AE. Of course, I will vote for a woman. If you want something to be done well, give it to a busy woman. (The busier a woman is, the better she performs, while men can do only one thing at a time = my personal kitchen-philosophy.)

One of our provinces is run by a woman - Helen Zille - who is also the leader of our best opposition party (opposing the [incompetent] ANC). Only the totally brainless will not be able to acknowledge Helen's fascinating expertise in leadership AND the positive results of her actions.

Okay, you've got my vote for Hillary Clinton :))

Take care, Ruby!

Great and powerful message. Much enjoyed how you put this together and my absolutely favorite Springsteen song it can't get better. Looking forward to Hillary's term in office. Passing this on.

An interesting point of view poem and I hope you are right . At the very least you have a positive outlook and I like that. Well done always exploring. I like your style.

This was fun to read, AE! I loved it!

Ruby, you know I love you dearly right:) I have no issue with Obama except for the mine that closed because of his EPA regulations. West Virginia is hurting cause coal is our economy. Coal is the reason that most of the United States pays cheap power rates, much lower then they would be without it. Coal makes a variety of products also. Its been hard working two jobs and I guess I am a little disappointed in it all. For all our sakes, I hope they can all work together cause none of us can afford another 4 years of Washington gridlock. Ruby, great points and a great write as always. Voted up, awesome, interesting, and shared.

Lyrics

Although I have lost confidence in anyone being able to bring us back from the terrible decline we are currently in, I commend you for taking the important approach of reminding all of us to chill out on the complaining. I feel the same way. It does us no good to keep "going on" about who ultimately won the election. Whether for or against it, it is a done deal and complaining about the spilled milk won't put it back in the bottle.

Great job my friend.

This one is too funny, and definitely the god honest truth Linda, wow you are heating up here with these cool poems for sure, and I love the Humpty Dumpty intro to this cool poem .

You definitely have a way with words, and can infuse truth in ways to reinforce positive thinking into it all. Lovely job! thumbs up and getting shared.

Nice one Ruby, never thought that Hilary could go for it in four yearas? oh yes! lol! we sit on our couches over here watching to see what happens, thank goodness obama got back in, phew! lol!

Bravo! Standing O! What can I say Ruby - i got goosebumps reading it - and i giggled too!

"Then he stole the election from my main man Gore - Lordy that made Ruby unhappy and mighty sore"..lol

im going to link this to my poem - if you'd like to do the same - there's strength in number, gf!

up, across, sharing...blahblah...

i put it on ' the extremists within: the gops exclusionary tactics...etc..

thanksxx

Loved it Ruby. I wish Clinton era could come back.

The flow in your poetry was exquisite

Well done!! Sharing it across

Voted up...I mainly like the pick up the broom image and also of Hillary in 2016...I am not even talking political but the fact it is an image of change yet again for a country that I never thought I would see, first an African American in office and hopefully one day soon a women....despite our political affiliation or the way we voted...I have to say that Obama is our president...you can like it or you can hate it...but get a grip and help by supporting, speaking out when its productive, and really learn from each other. I hope Obama even learned things during all of this...and lead the way he feels is right for humanity...in the end its about humanity isn't it? If it isn't than what country are we in?

Ruby,

In 1992 I was a kid learning life's lesson from the political upheavals in the country.

Thanks or sharing your perspective

Cheers

well ruby.. so good to see you my friend.. I believe you are so right.. love your poem..

many blessings

Debbie

I was just telling my friend last night who lives in California, that we need to have a women follow Obama:) He doesn't think so due to the other countries in the UN not taking a women seriously I belive was his attitude:) I think a women is very much needed.

Good for you! I love this poem and yes, I too loved the Clinton years, prosperity and a balanced budget. If Clinton erred in his personal life, well he is up there with Limbaugh, a recent general and so many, many more people at the top. He was a great President.

How can I not read and comment on something that has my husband Bruce singing a most perfect song? Then my friend wrote this so I had to read. Politics aside, it is well written and fun.

Aw Ruby, What can I add, Clever, and Sweet and Straight from your Heart. Time will tell what the Future will bring. LOL. Girlfriend. And What a Treat to watch our "Jersey Guy" singing "Glory Days". Thank You!

.....well that's a hall of fame list if I ever saw one - Hillary Clinton, Mother Teresa, and Ruby - and George Jones too - love your passion, your honesty and the fact that there really is no one quite like you - and I am glad I found 'her'

Sending you warm wishes and good energy from lake erie time ontario canada 12:28pm with 2nd cup of coffee after night shift sleep

I usually give anything political a gracious sidestep, but this one has my vote! So clever and fun; what a delightful change from what seems to be inundating the news these days. Thank you, Ruby. :-)

Your ability to express what is in your heart so eloquently on so many subjects amazes me. I rated this up and Awesome. I second your feelings.

Even if politics won't interest me that much, this poem did interest me ............

I love this peom. It will get better. 1992 was surwly a great time. Clinton was the best.

I love this, Ruby. you wrote it so cheerfully and i almost sang it like a song. The hope, optimism and clamor for a brighter future made it all the more fantastic.

good job! carry on!!

1992 I was a very small kid of perhaps 3 or 4 years old. Thanks for sharing this always exploring.

Sorry to be contrary. There are many Americans who will be voting for Mr. Trump, and we are too far away from November to know (1) if Hillary will be indicted and stand trial (though it may be difficult to find a jury she would accept as her "peers") and (2) for a person who spent her time traveling the world as Secretary of State, many of us find that she did a lousy job of administering that one department of the government, and therefor find it undesirable to put her in charge of the entire Executive Branch and all the government's departments..

I am one of those who feel she needs to be accountable for her cavalier handling of sensitive correspondence, and who finds flaws in her resume.

Greeting from South Africa. What a great poem. For me most if not all politicians are corrupt, but some more so than others. There is one woman in SA I have all the respect for. Our public protector: Thuli Madonsela. If only she would stand for president. she would get all peoples votes I'm sure, so in your case if I could, I will vote for a woman. If you want something to be done well, give it to a busy woman.

There are great women who have been fine leaders. Mrs. Clinton comes with baggage, as do we all. In her case I find the baggage disqualifying when it comes to leading the free world. I want someone who listens and leads, not someone who listens and follows with their own narrow self interest foremost.
