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

The politicians cutting funding
Their kids will be the doctors and lawyers. They assume our kids will be janitors and dishwashers, so they won't need an education.
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.

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..
It is said that M wears the pants at home and I bet that she reminds him every day that she gave up her job for him!

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.
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.
No one is arguing that Mrs. Obama said this. Someone posted that old, tired Muslim e-mail.
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.
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
Great one! Thanks!! nm

That's great!!
A great big congrats to your daughter! She is so fortunate to have such a supportive and helpful family!!
Did he say anything at all about how great a new job for you would be? I'd keep an eye on him as
s
Wow, that's great!
We had always said 3 and that's when we stopped. They are all teenagers now. Wouldn't change a thing either.
That was great.
I'm glad they did that. What fun. Not only was he thin, but his clothes were nice. No jump suit. I preferred his hair when it was his natural brown rather than the black dye job.
That's great - sm
I'm glad I don't need them anymore then! Also check with your state regarding laws about those things. For example, in Florida you are only allowed to borrow 500, in which case I would be weary of anyone offering more. Thanks for the tip - looks like you should be advising me!
Great, thanks!
I listen and take all ideas I can.
My mom did it and it looks great.
She did not fill in the cracks, and it looks great simply painted.
DS, he does a great job.
e
For her age, I don't think she looks great at all
isn't she around 20? She looks more like 30 and haggard half the time. Oh, and you too can have that body with the cocaine/alcohol-only diet! Get real!
She is such a piece of garbage. But they say her mother is too (was desperate for fame so pushed her daughter into the spotlight) and her dad as well (didn't he just get released from prison)?
Sad.
That's great! Another one sm
I haven't seen Chuck and Larry yet, but will definitely ignore the reviews and see it. I love good comedies.
Another one, if you haven't seen it, is the Wedding Crashers. I thought it was just supposed to be a silly romantic comedy, but my daughter and watched it on cable last weekend and I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud, spewing drink laughing, in some time. See that movie.
I think it would be a great job (sm)
True they don't pay real high but you are at your kids school, no child care costs, good benefits, and summers off - sounds pretty good to me!!! They are hard to get where I live also though. Best wishes to you!
That was great. Thanks. (nm)

Great Job
There should be more people like you!
They have been a great help to me
in dealing with a similiar situation with a family member. Sometimes you hear things that you don't want to hear but the people in these groups have been in your shoes and they understand what you're going through like no one else.
I got to do this. It was great.
I contacted her because I was going to the 20-year reunion. I couldn't talk her into going, but I did get her to meet me for another trip back home.
There was plenty to talk about. It was great.
Have a great
weekend everybody
Thanks. Those were great! nm

They are not that great...SM
They are great for a while, but then if the DVD player breaks, you are stuck with a TV with a broken DVD player and end up having the buy a whole new DVD player. If the TV breaks, you are stuck with a DVD player that you can't use because the TV part is broken. I would not recommend getting a TV/DVD player combo. I know many people who had had these problems with them. I would buy each component separate so that if one thing breaks, you only have to replace that.
That was great! Thanks. nm

Great tip! Thanks!
Thank you for that website. I'm going to check them out. Thanks to everyone for all of your informative posts on this subject. You have all be very, very helpful. I appreciate you!!
That's a great one!...sm
Rhinoceros where stomping out fires (the fire brigade)...We wore the tape out watching it so many times...I suppose it's on DVD by now. Thanks for reminding me of that one!  Cat
This is great!
This is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time. I just cannot stop laughing. I know I will remember this one for as long as I live! Thank you so much for this holiday memory. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. (I did not mean to yell, just consider it a loud voice LOL.)
The Others is GREAT!
I saw Rosemary's Baby but not the other ones. Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to get the Mothman Prophecies and THEM! on sale on the DVD club too. One really good and the other a classic. I love sci fi too and got my kids all into star trek. The Borg are the scariest but they love it and so do I. LOL.
LOL. That was great! Thanks, V8. nm

Hi, Kim, that would be great!
Yes, the Casino is one in the same. I've actually never been there if you can believe that. My in-laws go there a lot to gamble. I wish I was in Georgia. I hate snow! My parents live in Utica. Small world.
He is a great looking dog. I really
wished we could hear him talking there when he won.
You are a great mom!!
I understand what you are saying and do agree. I became upset when I read statements such as "weird, sick, "it" - because you know as well as I, people still feel that way about gays. I get so angry that people can be so heartless and cruel when it comes to lifestyles that they feel are not of the norm. You are a great mom and your son is very lucky!! For those who know that someone is gay and have not been told yet - my feeling is they will say something when they are comfortable with it themself. Unfortunately, people are quick to judge how others should live and love - never considering that it does not matter as they are the same person no matter who they love. To come out is a very frightening thing as there are those people you think would be okay with it and they go absolutely bonkers. I commend those of you who are so accepting and nonjudgemental. It still amazes me that this is 2008 and people still act as though gays should be "put away".
