It is Sunday, April 15, 2012 - a gloomy rainy day - but I'm grateful for another day of "I'm HIV."
On Sunday's all I do for physical fitness is take a walk. Today I did 36 minutes = 2.0 miles for an April total of 34.7 miles.

Today I'm going to start creating a poll about President Obama. The TITLE will be:
I LIKE OBAMA - I HATE OBAMA - 35 REASONS WHY
It has been over three years since Barack Obama took office as President of the U.S. In those years I have received numerous emails concerning people's feelings towards this man. Some have expressed how much they LIKE and admire the President but many more have been filled with words of HATE. This poll will be a way for readers to determne why they LIKE this man or HATE this man and IDENTIFY 35 POSSIBLE REASONS WHY.
DIRECTIONS: Each statment below will state a "POSITION" Obama has taken on an issue or a "DECISION" Obama has made since he took office. For each POSITION or DECISION listed put a number in the blank from 1 to 5. The numbers mean the following.
1. I agree with this POSITION and really like the DECISION Obama has made - I approve at a 100% level.
2. I generally agree or like it but not at a 100% level.
3. I'm not so sure about this one - I guess I feel I don't know enough about it to give an intelligent answer - it may have some good or bad things I'm not aware of.
4. I'm in general disagreement with this one but not quite at a 100% level - but I'm not to the point of HATING him.
5. I disagree 100% and I HATE Obama for believing this or making this decision.
