Does Obama Care?

I left Grandad about sunset yesterday evening.  He was reading with interest from a book bag that I had given him.  It was New Years Day 2014 and The Eighth Day of Christmas.  We had spent the entire day changing our calendars, co-ordinating and confirming our work appointments for January.

The book bag contained old family pictures, correspondence and personal journals that I had written when I was still a graduate student working in San Diego.  I agree with the person that I just heard state via C-SPAN, "I'm a journalist," and I believe that a person in my position ought not advocate for but only report observations of a political candidate.

My alter ego, Carolyn Crisp-Yeager, is a well known registered Democrat.  Until last year, she was also a psychologist who never used her position to influence the way her clients voted.  I can safely say that I am well practiced in separating my professional opinions from my personal impressions and feelings.  As I write this blog, I separate my roles by using different signatures.
