"I am pleased to send warm greetings to all those gathered to celebrate Cinco de Mayo....
...We Americans cherish our deep historical, cultural, economic, and, in many cases, family ties with Mexico and Latin America. Cinco de Mayo cele-brations remind us how much Hispanics have influenced and enriched the United States. Hispanic Americans contribute to the shared traditions that are part of our history, including entrepreneurship, a sense of com-munity where neighbor helps neighbor, faith, and love of family. On this special day, I encourage Americans to reaffirm the ties of culture and friendship we share with the people of Mexico and with Hispanic Americans."
LOL...
When oh WHEN will Dubya issue forth a proclamation celebrating the Neanderthals victory over the Cro-Magnons from the year 21, 091 B.C.??
See what I mean? Presidents issue all sorts of these silly proclamations and greetings. It's just a part of the job. Most of them are silly. Some are serious. Some are downright annoying to a lot of us.
But...Kwanzaa will grow based on the amount of publicity it gets. We're helping it grow, right here.
lol...oh man, where to begin with that one? First of all, we have our own problems with foreign intervention. .....but alas, the President calls the American patriots who are fighting against this invasion "vigilantes." Secondly, who the hell cares about another nation's holiday (besides nationalists from the other nation in question, of course)? Does he issue statements on Italian, Canadian, Australian, British, Japanese, or German holidays? Nope, his prime focus is Mexico and pandering to those who aim to take back land (in the American Southwest) they believe is rightfully theirs.
