No one is arguing that Mrs. Obama said this. Someone posted that old, tired Muslim e-mail.

In Reply to: AP just covered the story so quite possibly true comment. How sad. - nm
That is what the "check your facts comment was about." Anyone who watches the news has seen the sound bites from Mrs. Obama's appearance this morning.

The reply was regarding the misinformation in the Obama e-mail that has been circulating
for months and is widely acknowledged to be full of lies, not about Mrs. Obama's speech.
Not arguing about the right for a business owner--sm
to refuse service to anyone, but, according to the article I read, OJ and his group came into the restaurant, sat in the back and were not causing a problem. The owner had the problem, as one of the waitresses was *giddy* that OJ was there. He specifically stated he asked OJ to leave because he did not like what OJ had done (in the past). To me, that is discrimination. He was not causing a problem. It was the owner of the restaurant who had a problem. But that is just my opinion.
I just do not think it is right that a place that is *open to the public* can ask someone to leave just because they do not like that person. If OJ had been causing a problem, that would have been different, but he was not. It was all the owners feelings about the man. that's all.
However, this thread is taking an ugly turn and since I have said all I have wanted to say on the subject, I am backing out now. Have a good day.
In my home if she kept arguing the curfew would change to 11,
Nineteen is old enough to respect you and be considerate of your rules.
That's the Muslim Religion
Haven't you seen or heard how they treat their women, especially with all the stuff happening in the Middle East now. They are the ruler of the family and the women must cow-tow [sic] to them.
IOW, women are second class citizens in their world just like it used to be in the U.S. before Susan B. Anthony and others. If you daughter wants to be independent, there is no way it will happen being married to him. I wouldn't even bother telling the parents since they are getting a divorce, BUT MAKE SURE you get a restraining order on him or else it may get very dangerous.
I don't mean to scare you, but please be careful.
Ummm... Americans can also be Muslim, or are you

Muslim not American Indian.
He is a wacko, totally. I think he's schizo. She says, "He's nice sometimes," then other times he will verbally abuse her so bad she curls up in the dog's bed and cries uncontrollably. He threw a $400 cell phone into the wall and broke it because she spoke to another man (whom she has known for a lot longer than him). He once reported the phone installer guy for sexual harrassment to Qwest because he offered to install an extra jack free of charge in their house. I told her LOVE is not "sometimes" nice.
You would not be welcome at a "mosque"....the true Muslim leaders
No one said anything about not mentioning God. Muslims supposedly believe in God. God is not a religion...All terrorists are not Muslims, but the underground crap going on in this country, working at recruiting those misled individuals into their little scheme of hatred for this country is sickening. How many so-called Muslim leaders did you see stand up to condemn the thousands of Americans killed? None!! And even those that might have thought it a horrible thing, won't speak up because they are SCARED of retaliation... by what?....they're own "faith"? Get real. We need to keep in mind the US is a soverign nation but won't stay that way long, when we become so PC we forget who we are. We welcome ALL, LEGALLY, but too many of all nations are here illegally and there is cause for concern. When you can walk in the front door of a country and do your dirty little business unnoticed, it's time for a wake up call folks!
Yes he will. The Muslim community will close ranks on this man.
They will call it an "Honor-Killing." What it is, is out and out murder. But Hussan will spend but minimal time incarcerated. The Muslim's have our country cowed. CAIR, AIPAC, and all the other Muslim alphabet soup groups will close ranks to defend him against an "evil and corrupt" legal system. He will have a defense fund the likes of which most people will never see.
They will call people who want to try him for this crime islamophobes or worse. They will threaten retribution against the judge, law enforcement people, whoever is involved in this case. Self-preservation is a great motivator.
Hopefully the legal system will do what it is supposed to do...put guilty people in jail. But we will have to see how the wind blows.
IMHO, the wind blows towards Mecca and the Muslims.
Yes, but Indian's from India are not Muslim. They are of the Hindu religion. sm
they also believe in reincarnation and not the Koran.
They do treat women as a much lower class, though.
This man who started TV station after 9/11 to counteract negative Muslim reactions,
The below taken from CNN statement:
Police: Woman's decapitated body found at a TV station that the man founded
Muzzammil Hassan, founder of Bridges TV, charged with second-degree murder
Bridges TV is aimed at countering negative portrayals of Muslims

I am not an Obama fan but....
the fact is he is our next president. I keep stressing to myself that we have to support him or this country will go nowhere. I am proud that our country has been open-minded enough to vote a bi-racial person as president. I am a bit sad that this is being portrayed as such a "star-studded" event. The "stars" have every right to be just as excited as "the commoners", but I wish it was more about the fact that we have a new president and hopefully this country is headed in a different direction. I will be watching some, what I can and I hope others will as well.
I agree with M Obama
She was simply stating that she is proud of what is happening now in our country. Too many people who are for the Clintons are trying to pick apart every single little word that she or Barack says. I'll tell you though in my adult life since the Clintons and the Bush's have been in office there IS nothing to be proud of!
Let me ask these questions....are you proud that we went to war that we shouldn't have and are you proud that our troops are needlessly being killed and we've got a guy now who says this is going to go on for the next 100 years? Are you proud that America has homeless and hungry yet the rich live in mansions and own 4 and 5 jet planes all parked in front of their house? Are you proud that our education system doesn't pay the teachers what they should be paid? Are you proud that Americans are losing their jobs due to outsourcing to other countries? That americans can't afford health care, that americans are losing their houses? Gosh I could go on and on and on. There is not too much to be proud of now a days. Especially when one group is tearing each other apart trying to steal others delegates and pretty much are going to just "place" themselves in the position because they believe its rightfully theirs...I say enough is enough!
I have also listened to a lot of her other speeches and she is a very eloquent speaker and proud of her family and husband. So she messed up and used the word "first". Sheesh! Give her a break. If you want to start picking apart word for word what people say lets go on down the line with ol Billy boy. I personally like Ms. Obama and believe she would make an eloquent first lady. She inspires people to do things with their lives.
Obama should too, then he'll look a little
like AL Sharpton  .
Michelle Obama
I think she seems really intellgent, and would just like to chat with her on multiple topics.
New Obama family dog
In this undated photo released by the White House, the Obama family's new dog, Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog, is shown at the White House in Washington.
Barack Obama, so I could ask him what in the
nm
Obama seems great as far as politicians go.
He is a democrat but was raised by a republican mother and seems to realize that family values of healthcare in America, especially for our elderly and our children, is very important as well as education. He has a straightforward way of speaking and acutally answering questions that I really like.
No politician is perfect, but his honesty is refreshing, and I hope he has a good shot. Hilary and him running together would be an interesting concept. hmmm
I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
Exactly. And these Obama fans need to give it up. I mean, we don't like sm
Obama for numerous reasons and some dumb email isn't going to change my mind either way.
handbags. Obama or Clinton?

I think even a bigger one. I still trust Obama..

TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
e-mail
Sorry....I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers or get on the soapbox.....It appears we've got a lot in common, namely patriotism....Tried to e-mail ya, but it kept coming back, ergo I thought your were incommunicado.
I worked for the Veterans Service Agency (what would be called Veterans Affairs now) 30 years ago and still spend an inordinate amount of time at the VA with my husband, bless his heart.
I'm glad you enjoyed the bit about the politician's kids.
Have a great Labor Day Wknd!

I got that ad in the mail the other day
and threw it away. I won't step foot in that place. I was wondering how I even got on their mailing list. H said he thinks it was because he bought some perfume for me there 2 Christmases ago. Anyway, this reminded me of a conversation I had on a parenting forum I visit. A good many of us were disgusted at a Neiman Marcus ads that kept popping up. It looked as if they were hiring 13 or 14-year-old girls to model maternity clothes for them.
not my mail
How do eliminate mail that comes to previous residents of your home? I know you can write "wrong address" on mail and have it returned, but what about junk mail? Will the post office accept junk mail returned this way? I do not know if the previous residents completed a change of address form or not. They have not lived at this address for many years; however, mail still comes on a daily basis. How do you get rid of all this?
too much mail
Fill out a form at the post office telling them who is to receive mail at this address, they have the forms, just explain the situatioin to them. Then you will only get mail for who you have indicated to the post office
Anyone else get this letter in mail?
Got letter in mail -- inquiry about 'opportunity' for my service to hire on 50+ MTs including dictation platform - something about an MTSO losing 98% of its hospital business in November and wanting to place these MTs. ? I'm wondering if these poor MTs even know about it yet ??
I would write an e-mail sm
and say "I love you anyway!"
That's it! Whatever happens, happens. You can not control how other people act or react, nor can you change people. So, you need to just love like you always do and move on from whatever is hurting you.
Best of luck to you and many blessings!
Hi Hayseed...sent you an e-mail...nm

RE: E-mail status
I just heard that you can check the status of an e-mail you send to see if it has been opened or not. Anyone know how to do this?
Yahoo e-mail
Mine has been acting up for a couple of days now. I went in the other day and all of my mail in my inbox and "trash" was gone! I know there were things there. I went to their answer forum and others said that yahoo is having difficulty currently, and to go back to the classic Yahoo and see if that helps until they get the problem figured out. Sort of scary if you ask me!
it appears I still have your old e-mail...sm
I sent an e-mail to you a coupla days ago and it bounced back. Just e-mail me and I can update my address book. What did you think about barforama! Poor Juliet Cat
I have a PO Box, and I still get the junk mail. nm
momt....please e-mail me. Don't know

I have suffered from depression all my life. Would be glad to corrospond with you if you would like. Am about to sign off, need to start dinner, if you do respond please don't think I am ignoring your. Good thoughts being sent your way.
Mine is 06 and nothing in the mail yet. NM

unwanted mail
Write "Return to Sender - Refused" on the package when you take it to the post office. Then call the company who is sending you this stuff and really give them a piece of your mind. Also make sure to document everything. If these steps don't do any good then file a complaint with the post office.
For those that have comcast e-mail
I have a question. I have two e-mail accounts, one is Yahoo and the other is Comcast. I received e-mail through both. My Yahoo account will notify me with a pop-up that I have mail. Comcast doesn't. Is there a way I can set it to notify me when I receive e-mail? TIA
read my mail
Link Below.
I sent you the original e-mail that I sm
got back. Your e-mail address is coming back without the "e" on the end of chelle. Looks like somehow it is getting forwarded wrong through MT stars. Anyway I corrected in my address book. You might want to contact MT stars about it. Check your aol e-mail for my letter.
For some reason can't get mail through Yahoo right now. (sm)
Is there a problem with the Yahoo mail system anyone knows about. The Yahoo web site pulls up fine, it is just the mail.

i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!! would you please help me? many thanks.
We should talk via e-mail. Sounds like we have..sm
had similar things happen to us. I have been divorced for 5 years. I did the dating site a few years ago and met some real freaks. Right now I'm talking to someone I dated 13 years ago and another man who is going through a divorce. Feel free to e-mail me.
I'm not getting Yahoo mail today
I wouldn't have thought much about it until I saw your email. I'm emailing you a test email to see if you get it.
No mentors, formerly done via mail order, etc.
I answered this before but don't know where it went. We worry he is being used but he asked us to think positive. We are sick about it but can't dare say anything. He is doing his best to ask for help, a competitor just laughed in his face at Manhattan. Newer product previously ordered online or through catalogs, no prior salesperson cold calling.
Anyone else's yahoo e-mail down tonight? nm

Hot mail change and no pics
My hotmail email account sometimes changes the way it looks with upgrades or whatever they are doingl. Ever since the last time, when someone sends me an email with a picture in it (not an attachment), the pictures are blank. What can I do?
