Eni wasn't invited
Here's commentary on national news expressing disgust with the number of people invited and taken on a joy ride to Copenhagen. Three jets, family members, swank hotels, etc. And even with all this Eni was not invited. And Eni is Chairman of the very subcommittee directly responsible for climate control. It looks very much like our not-so-esteemed congressman is being shunned by those he and we need most.

That isn't the only event Eni
That isn't the only event Eni wasn't invited to. He didn't go with Secretary Clinton to Indonesia last year although Indonesia is one of his signature issues. She didn't take him on her Australia-NZ-PNG trip (whigh got cancelled because of Haiti) or invite him to her East West Center speech, which devoted not a word to island issues. Pelosi also didn't take him on her trip to Beijing last year to discuss climate change issues and Obama did not invite him to the White House for the dinner for the Indian PM, even though India is another of his signature issues and he is one of the most senior members of the Congressional Caucus on India. Not very well regarded and given his antics in Cambodia, it is obvious why.
Enjoy life while you can
We are all going through somewhat of a difficult time in life. In my life, many has past on and most of them could not enjoy life. Why waste time over spilt milk or drama. This is an opportunity to make it better the next time around and try not to face all issues within glamour, events, or issues me or you have no control of. Try focusing on the tragedies people are experiencing in this world and try to voice your opinions or facts to those whom you feel is not voicing what you feel is important. Be sure to think about the importance before speaking about the issues at the time of a unagreeable situation. We can donate all the money in the world, but it is not going to bring people we have lost during War, Earth Quakes, Uncurable diseases, Tsunami, desperate people trying to survive in THIS LIFETIME.
Most of all the elders or adults have been experiencing people taking a sentence such as "That is my apple" to you stole my apple and traded the apple with those whom don't care for you. Come on, we are adults fighting or arguing over issues that can be resolved. What happended to "THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME". Believe or not. I have seen hardworking people putting effort to creating the best place for the future of our country. Not the color of our skin or where we came from. Our beliefs, morals, equality, love, enjoyment of life, safety, none of what people are pasting on through the website.
People be very careful what you say, we are humans with feelings. I know you may be angry, but you are our leaders to a better place. If there are agruments and fighting within leadership,it will pass on to the people of the future. PEACE over rules all.
There has got to be some sort of explanation to why the people are traveling and spending these funds. Will the company they spend these thousands or millions of dollars be of use. Will these company open doors for the communities? Will they create a shelter to over come disasters? Will we separate ourselves from politics to create something that most of our creators left behind to carry us to safety. I am sure our leaders did not intend to leave War or money behind to resolve all of our issues.
Companies over charging at a time of recession shows true colors to what may happen in time of need. I will not mention to which companies but you know whom you are. Our president of the United States of America have been trying to tell us. Credit card companies continue to provide numerous amounts of credit to those whom may not have the ability to pay it back with the interest amounts given. Obama has been trying to tell us, our laws sometimes kicks our butts, because there is always someone finding some way around it. Causing lawmakers to create more laws to protect the people from those whom don't care about your situation, they will say it is within our policy.
I know no one is perfect, but most of us try. Sometimes people cry out for help and some of us whom have been rejected or suffered. Will most of the time reject those in need of help. It is sad and most of the time it make me sick or sad. I realized people will use the past of others and themselves to manipulate the situation to achieve their own goal or make themselves feel better for the way they have decieved the world or themselves. I ask this "how are we trying to fix a situation with assumption that every situation is identical".
For example: A repetitive mistake to a 2x mistake, same consequence. A mistake done 10 years ago, continue to put a person in the same situation. Offenders whom seek to follow all rules to avoid same mistake,most pushed into the same corner w/o knowledge to remove themselves from the situation.
Last example: Sounds like almost all of us. Without the knowledge to achieve would be a crucial situation. Without support would be worst. A community should forgive and move on. But to ask a person to forgive a person more than 3x for the same situation, deserves a delay in the process of moving on to the next step of moving out of the situation. Not sure if anyone will understand. I understand many things as an adult do to experience with people in situations. Before, I thought I knew it all, I don't not know it all.
We only live once, how we live it is the best part. Forced to live a certain way, is limbo.
Please continue to respect those with leadership and voice your opinions when you feel it is important. Sometimes it feels like a bunch of children trying to hurt each others feelings without a parent to control the situation. Accusation killed Jesus Christ. Leadership bought forth the truth and the wrong doing of those whom mistaken leadership for power to over rule all those inferrior. It is the reason we all belive in our president. Better words,than sticks and stones.
Love yall. But I have a few flaws of my own to work on. This is the reason I believe in leadership. Gives me a way and time to find fixtures for my flaws.
PEACE AND LOVE BRINGS HAPPINESS.
ACTIONS DO SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
Eni Faleomavaega the "Hard Worker"
Thanks Sister Marlene for your kind comment but excuse myself. Let me say something to the comment on the top(Anonymous). Look here, you need to open your ears and listen to what I'm about to tell you. I don't really like you comment. I wish I could reach in the computer and just slap your face. Do you know that the Congressman had done so much for the people of American Samoa including other friendly Islands and you over here talking crap about him! What kind of Samoan are you. You disgusting me you ediot.
What has he done?
Just once I would like to see someone make a list of all the good things this guy has done for his people. I keep reading what a good congressman he is and how "he has done so much". But nobody can give any clear examples of what he has done in his 21 years as congressman.
Come on Eni supporters. Put the facts on the table. Try to make your list. I can guarantee it won't be very long. What has he ever done?
NOTHING!!!
Violence is not the answer
I learned that as a youth and young adult. I lived it and learned from it, question is. Have you "Tino"? Please don't take my ethnicity into your own mind and tell me about being Samoan. Who do you think you are to say the things you did?
I do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you "Tino". If you would kindly reread my comments, before making accusation, as you did. It would the best thing for your eyes, before your attempt to slap me.
I am not talking crap about the congressman. I don't know him on that level to talk "crap". I don't speak crap.
I was voicing my feelings about those talking and relating there anger. Have you not seen most of the comments made about the congressman. I was simply pointing out issues more important than to those issues made about his attire. Not sure where you are going with it. Assuming a fight.
Do you understand English. I should be furious and relate the same comments to your idiotic remarks. People like you is whom I have been commenting too. You called me sister as if you are Christian or a humbled person. You did not have the sense to list the disagreement.
"Hard working people", defined as: people who created every material thing you have or has been made (created). Those who are out in the world, building, creating, inventing, protecting must I go on, or a mother, father, sister , brother, friend, niece,nephew, uncle, aunt who come home most of the week from working 10 to 12 hr days to support their family and not complain once about their own situation. As I would for them, to those who don't appreciate. (that is another topic)
You will not find one wrong comment made from me about the president or congressman. You for some reason, took my words and twisted into what you perceived to be "crap talking". Are you serious? Did you not read my example about the "apple".
Please learn how to read comments posted before commenting. You took comments to which had no crap talking and turned it into an argument. You seem as a person who want to fia oso and tautala mea leaga.
Maybe you can kindly explain to okaoka, what Mr. Eni has done. Enlighten us with your knowledge of Mr. Eni.
You call yourself a Samoan. Add violent at the beginning,a "violent Samoan". I know of Samoans here and those who come from the island. they are peaceful or Christians.
I am not the enemy,nor am I against any country. I love to live my life, without barking in peoples ear about ethnicity or race. More of beliefs of what is better for the future and what is important. I am not politically talking.
Example of what I am without including hate: I am a person who loves to meet other people in general, not for their race or their culture. Just for them being themselves. Not for their money or the occupation. I love to learn from what the world has to offer and understand culture as it is made or lived. I love to create things to protect people, reason being: always scared as a child. Never mind me. I to be a team member with those willing to create a better future or something to help protect us from tragedies and so. Enough about me. Trying to let "Tino" know, he got me tangled in the vine of violence.
I just wanted to let you know. Don't be an idiot and come onto the website and say those types of comments. How can Samoans have your support as of people of care or love, if you chose to let your anger overcome yourself.
As to being serious, whom am I to tell you how to express your feelings. I would like to apologize again for any misunderstanding. I really as an adult "do not crap talk". You may want to read more of the comments made by those who live on the island. They have concerns, you so happen to overlook and pin pointed me as the "crap talker". Those days as a child and being a teenager are over.
Once again, please don't misunderstand my comments. If commenting on comments made. Please indicate to what was made in comment. This will allow me to correct the misunderstanding.
Again, if congressman Mr. Eni may read both our comments. I was not "crap talking" about you or the president of USA. Tino took my comments and reconfigured it into "crap talking".
Tino please keep this in mind "the truth always comes to surface". I know from experience. not fun at all.
As always, Peace creates love & happiness. Certainly not a fight.
Wish everyone the best during the time of tragedy. I sincerely am sorry for the lost. It was so sad reading about it. Mother nature continues to destroy other countries as others are reconstructing theirs.
