Dear President Obama,
You were so quick and eloquent in standing up for the Egyptian protesters and their rights as humans when their police were using brutal force. Why are you so silent now?
Speak up and protect your own citizens, Mr. President. Your actions, and the time it took you to actually say or do something, will not be forgotten. Especially come Election Day.

Can someone explain why the camping is seen as necessary? Why would it be a problem…

Me: I'm trying to figure out what to get my secret star today...I'm so stuck.
Michelle: Poop.
Me: What if I did.
