What's in a Name Anyway?

Tweet

I don't really maintain a steadfast and constant review of everything that's happening in American politics. But there are some folks whose names pop up so often you can't help but notice them. Like U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Whether you like her or not, the young lady managed to get herself elected. She's the youngest person in Congress. 29 years old. That by itself is a notch on her belt. One thing I notice about her or I should say that's being reported about her is that … it seems to be easy to upset her! The reports may not be an accurate picture. But if the reports are true, then this lady needs somebody to give her a little bit of advice. SAVE YOUR STRENGTH FOR THE REAL BATTLES!! Being a politician in our nation's capital is not for the faint of heart. If your feathers get easily ruffled, you're not going to last for very long! So they're mocking your name? So what! John McCain is dead and somebody is still beating up on him! Listen up! You got elected. Focus. Use your energy to do your best to serve the people. Your name is your name and it's not going to change unless you change it! For crying out loud! We had a president named Barack Obama! I've heard people confuse his last name (intentional and unintentional) and call him Osama! Take it from me. I worked in D.C. and I wasn't even in politics. That place is a pressure cooker! DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!! Conserve your energy. If you have plans to remain in Washington, D.C. you will need your strength. **
