Beyonce is so pretty!

But I deeply regret that George W. Bush would dislike Beyonce and every member of the Obama family and Burris because they are all black.

The first is, “you will be surprised at the enemies you keep.” In other words, sometimes your enemies are the very people who present themselves as your friends – just to clock your every move.

The other is, ” “you'll be surprised at where your competition is coming from.” This means that sometimes,without your knowledge, you're perceived as a threat by others for stuff you're not even aware of. Sadly, this often comes from the most unlikely of places, like people you who don't even register on your radar, and about things you don't even care about. LOL

That said, the high stakes game the PE is playing is much deeper than a potential professional rivalry by the Clintons. I'm sure he already knows this.

I know we all know this, but I just wanted to put it out there.
