Obama on THE VIEW

Well, now President Obama is getting flack for his scheduled appearance on the View.....a program that has a wider viewing audience than most press conferences or "news" shows....this after accusing him of being aloof and only giving scripted appearances......what a hypocritical bunch we are!

Hysterics Over Wikileak Disclosures

Why the hysteria about the Wikileak disclosures? They contain nothing about our troop movements and only disclose matters that almost everybody already knows or guesses.. If anything they have brought home the fact that our involvement in Afghanistan is a losing proposition, in lives and taxpayers' hard earned money.....the sooner we get out of that quagmire the better. Some pundit stated that if we are to succeed in that region we should send in competent civilians to help that infrastructure instead of blowing them to hell.......bread makes more friends than bombs. And why are we giving such vast amounts of money to Pakistan when they support the Taliban in its' war against us?

Blows Up Real Good! (and it's better with beer!)

Could anyone please tell me how getting drunk,blowing up such large fire-crackers that it sounds like WW3, scaring the bejeesus out of countless dogs and cats and jolting other people out of sleep is symbolic of Patriotism?? Most communities have 4th.of July Parades and Fire-works displays...fine and good....what I have a problem with are the reckless firing off of (usually illegal) fire-works in the days preceding the 4th, and for several days afterward...and into the wee hours of the morning. Even though there are city bans on such actions they are often overlooked.....and the mind-set of those scoff-laws is..."I'm proud to be an American"...Huh?

At War with the Almighty?

According to a new law people now will be allowed to carry concealed weapons in Churches, Synagogues and Mosques! Are we at war with the Almighty or are we there to worship the NRA? This goes so far beyond the ridiculous...it is lunacy!...and further proves that we are fast becoming a nation of idiots!!

Will USofA Be Here in 250 Years?

In the lifetime span of civilized nations of the world we, the USofA, seem to be in the "terrible two's" phase of development...Reason and learning are resisted as being too boring, in our greed for a more comfortable life style we blow the tops off mountains (for coal), pollute our waterways and atmosphere, lie to protect us from paying the consequences of our actions and have temper tantrums (wars) when opposed by more rational minds. I wonder if this nation, as it is today, will still be in existence in 250 more years?

Patience

So the President's approval ratings are down......I have been as guilty as the rest of the country in expecting a whirlwind of changes to happen overnight,but on seriously thinking about the changes that have occurred since his inauguration I have realized that he has accomplished more,overall,than the previous administration in the same length of time. With all of the matters that are facing this country, both foreign and domestic, and with the Republicans using the filibuster tactics at every turn, it is a miracle that ANYTHING has been done.....after all, isn't it better to have a President who studies every situation before deciding on a plan of action rather then dashing madly off in all directions?!

Cut Obama Some Slack

Good Lord! cut the guy some slack! Now, some of our patriots on the right, have scolded President Obama for taking his family on vacation....not to The Gulf,but to New England! Did President Bush take his family,on vacation, to New Orleans after Katrina?....and do those same critics remember that in the same length of time in office, Pres.Bush had taken 216 days of vacation? In the dictionary "petty" should be synonymous with "politician"!
