seems like it makes him almost the perfect president to be able to understand and empathize with a much wider range of American citizens than any president before him. He's inclusive, not exclusive, and he's certainly more tolerant than many posters on this board, thank GOD!

Pardon me, but I couldn't care less if you approve of my opinion or my humor
This is the liberal board. It's very interesting that when one of you supposedly disappears, another shows up instantly to take the first one's place.
If you are truly interested in discussing this issue, then please tell me the points with which you disagree rather than rant and rave with personal attacks on my opinion and/or sense of humor.
I couldn't agree more! (SM)
How about Caroline Kennedy for his VP? It's definitely feeling "Camelotty" these days.
Remember the last time a US President chose the chooser of his VP? (Hint: They call him "Darth Vader.")

In my family alone I have German, Irish, and Indian. I'm your basic Heinz 57. I don't go around saying I'm a German-Irish-Indian-American do I. No....I'm an American. I'm proud of my heritage, but I'm an American.....period.
When it comes to the idea of a black president.....I'm all for it.....if it is the right person and Obama is not. I'm all for a woman president but Hillary most definitely is NOT the one.

You know, it's amazing how a REAL person, a woman no less, is on the ticket!
It's nice to see such a down-to-earth, likeable person be able to be on this ticket and not be part of the Washington machine. Her husband has a blue collar job. How many other candidates in recent history have been able to say that about their spouse? She is a REAL woman, has a family with kids and gut instincts to boot. I just think the whole idea of having a take-charge, no-nonsense state governor who knows how to use her noggin would be great for Washington and congress!

You and I are a minority on this board with this radical thinking, but I for one am ready for someone who honestly wants to do the right thing for the people -- not putting money into their cronies pockets!!! It is beyond me that anyone after seeing the 2 debates in the last week would even consider voting for THAT TEAM!! They scare me beyond anything that I have ever imagined!! They are hate mongering, self-righteous, vicious, desperate dimwits who obviously have no clear-cut plan, but just mask their stupidity with hate-filled lies as a smokescreen for their ignorance. The truly intelligent people in this country see through that bull!

Those two men are heroes and shouldn't have spent one minute in jail. Why did Bush allow this? (It's just another example of why I will be glad to see Bush go.)
I couldn't agree more - it's very sad
To see a country that I served in the Army to protect and service. That I've worked my whole live (since 2nd grade working on a farm and later on to other jobs). My parents/grandparents taught me values, respect, honor, and duty. All of it is being eroded away. Some slick laywer comes in and promises everyone everything. He stands and lies to their faces and they keep following him. It is true that they say they are like sheep because they follow with no thoughts of their own. People will say, oh this has to be approved by congress or that has to be approved. Guess what Congress is now controlled by democrats. They will pass anything and everything produced by the O. You've got mafia type people now advising the O. He's promised them all something and they are demanding it, and not only in our country but our enemies too.
It just sickens me to no end that we did kiss America goodbye, and just a little over 1/2 the country feels this is okay. I too want my country back. Now just have to think of new ways to survive through the next 4 years.
However, I'm still waiting to hear about the outcome of all the lawsuits that are being filed (there are many of them) and he has to comply by 12/1 (I wouldn't even have given him that long - that's too much time to try to falsify a document - again). It also disgusts me too that so many people demanded to see McCain's bc, but they were okay with not having to see the O's. Certainly a different country than what I grew up in.
I couldn't agree more...
...with your post. I am truly beginning to wonder what the point of voting is. Is it just to fool the "masses" into thinking they truly have a voice?
I think a lot of Americans adamantly didn't want any more Bushes and didn't want any more Clintons. I'm feeling somewhat betrayed by Obama and very unhappy with his appointments so far.
This isn't "change." This is back to the same corrupt regime.
I couldn't agree more, but I just...
...hope that some "homegrown terrorist" doesn't prevent that from happening and/or Bush doesn't find a way to declare martial law indefinitely. I just keep getting the feeling that something terrible is going to happen before January 20, something with Bush's fingerprints all over it.
I couldn't agree with you more. (sm)
I know what Vietnam did to my ex-boyfriend. It's not just something that goes away in a few months. It lasts a lifetime and can even affect future lives yet to be born.
Believe me, I share your anger, and I don't even have a relative who is in the military. I hope your son comes home soon, safe and healthy. My heart goes out to you, and if I could find a ((hug)) icon, I'd place it right here.
Well said...couldn't agree more!

it would be a wonderful cash crop for not only the obvious reasons, but all sorts of products can be made from the plant: Paper, textiles, and even biofuels are just a few.

I personally feel that we have a lot of divorced parents and kids being raised by single mothers and these family values, etc. aren't being taught. Kids see their moms and dads dating different people. Woman having kids with multiple different fathers and men fathering many children by different woman. This is what our kids see. What else do we expect these kids to be when they are exposed to this stuff. Some kids are taught that they can't be successful instead of telling them they can be anything they want to be.
I think that not only should good values, etc be taught at school but I personally feel that the parents need to wake up and realize some of the monsters they are creating here. Too many parents rely on the schools to teach their kids things that the parents should be teaching them. Why parents rely on schools to raise their children.....I will never understand that.
Then on the other spectrum you have the well off families who buy their kids everything they want without teaching them how to be responsible with money and these kids end up being some of the irresponsible ones we have to pay for because they were never taught to save money to buy stuff. Instead it is credit cards, credits cards......buy now and hopefully have money to pay later.

What now feels like a lifetime ago, when I was in my 20s and still had all my "plumbing intact," I had menstrual problems to the point where I became anemic from always bleeding.
I was divorced, NOT in a relationship with anyone, and my OB/GYN prescribed birth control pills in order to try to control my cycle so I wouldn't bleed so much to help with the anemia. I don't know what I would have done if some pompous pharmacist refused to fill my prescription for those birth control pills based on his/her PERSONAL MORAL (and IGNORANT) beliefs, but if this person had done so, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone away quietly, because by refusing to fill a legal prescription from my physician, this person would have unilaterally sentenced me to an unhealthy life. (My imagination stops somewhere between my jumping across the counter and placing my hands around this person's throat.)
I do have to wonder, though, what would happen if a self-righteous pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for Viagra, Cialis, etc. In fact, I think I'd buy tickets and popcorn to watch that one!
Very well said. I couldn't agree more!

I couldn't agree with you more on
this one, Kendra. If Obama truly wants to move on....then he should. There are dems who had their hands in this as well and surely it will come out as well. Pelosi is one who knew what was going on, even though she swears she didn't, and she never tried to stop it then.
I just think it is sad that our country is going after people who did what they did to save American lives and keep us safe. I would much rather see this effort going into the politicians and the crooks at some of these banks, etc. who got loads of money before these companies collapsed. What about the CEOs who walked away with millions of dollars right before their company failed and not only did we have to bail them out but they got away with loads of money. Why aren't we going after those guys? I would have more respect for our administration if they would do that, but I know they won't because too many people in our government got money from these same companies for their campaigns. Corruption....pure and simple. That is our government.
Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

wonder how long it will take obama to commit an actual impeachable offense. i believe he has such a rubber stamp in congress that he can ram through just about any social program, any tax hike that he wants and it will all be perfectly legal.
a politican campaigns with *2 chickens in every pot* promises. everyone knows he cannot deliver, but they vote for him anyhow, based on his stated intentions. then he finds that he cannot make good on most of his promises and there's some grousing among those who voted for him, but all is eventually forgiven. the situation we find ourselves in now is that he actually can make these promises come true, and it's a frightening prospect to anyone who believes in self-determination and individual liberty.
by the way, can we impeach a vice president? biden is such a loose cannon that it's frightening to have him in the position of vp. they need to keep a muzzle on him before he gives away the missile codes, or something. his latest gaffe, disclosing the location of the *undisclosed location* where the vp is sequestered in an emergency was actually a treasonous act. any chance he will be prosecuted for it?
on the other hand, ridding ourselves of biden would put pelosi *a heartbeat away* from the presidency. another frightening idea. what a pickle we've gotten ourselves into!

They are really bringing a lot of support to their cause, aren't they? To gun someone down in church, I am sure that was what G-d wanted. Thou shall not murder, unless the person does something you don't like.

She was completely brain dead with no hopes of recovery whatsoever. Keeping her alive like that, in my opinion, is selfish. I think her parents were selfish in wanting her to stay alive like that. Sometimes you have to let loved ones go. My father was a DNR and when he coded in the hospital, we all just stood there because that is what he wanted. We let him go and although that was the hardest thing I've ever had to live through in my whole life, I don't regret doing what I know he wanted. It was his time and we let him go.
Oh Lurker, I couldn't agree more!
Something wicked this way comes, and we are in the middle of it. Oh yeah, I have been likened to Chicken Little, the sky is falling, blah, blah, blah, but I am cognizant of the falsities this administration would like us to believe, and although I am of average intelligence, not presidential material, am educated enough to know that they, WHOMEVER THEY ARE, were going into a HORNET's NEST in IRAQ, also going to make more TERRORISTS. Also, with my average intelligence, I knew enough to know that Hussain was keeping his people under control, and that NO terrorists would be stupid enough to make trouble or reside in Iraq. He was master. So he killed 30,000 people, maybe a little more. How many have the BUSHWACKERS KILLED!? Yes, of course, I'm upset with him and his cronies. He has made AMERICANS LOOK STUPID, DISHONEST and MURDEROUS and no more humanitarian, maybe even less so, than Saddam. At least Saddam had his reasons to kill his people. What are HIS reasons for the killing? Have not heard any that make any sense! That is my take on the whole thing. Plus the useless FEMA of the Katrina disaster, and on and on and on. No time to spell it all out.

I agree, this is a matter of opinion, sm
but an opinion I wouldn't expect a Bush supporter to take. You must admit a president like Bush who rules by his gut feelings and not logic and foresight can swim with the big sharks.
I don't agree with preemptive wars. Look at Iraq we invaded for WMD and further destabilized an already fragile Middle East and then went *my bad. What the heck since we're already here let's *free* the Iraqi people.* America does not have the resources to be world police or to kill off all the bad guys of the world. The problem with Bush and the Iranian dictator - too much testosterone.
Like it has been said a many times before, perception is everything and everyone doesn't see the world as you do, or I do for that matter, so let's just hope that no other country plans a preemptive strike on America to relieve us of a warmonger, irresponsible world leader [again perception is everything].
you criticize someone for their opinion because you do not agree?
I agree. If you are going to be a mother, be a good one. Just because women can have babies does not mean they are good at it. If that were true why are so many children unsupervised, using guns, killing people.
Please save your preaching. It sounds silly to want a president just because she is a woman and has children. If someone is going to be president they certainly better be able to take criticism more than this. Now that sounds foolish to me,
I agree...Imagine the brave soul who would give an oppositional opinion...sm
It would be career suicide IMHO.
Your opinion of torture is your opinion. Tough

Nobody is questioning his patriotrism, but that's as far as it goes for me. I need someone who has a plan for the country. Who has the insight to see how far our country can go, the great things we can do as a nation.
While people may not know much about Barack one thing I do know is he has a plan and one that can be reached.
John McCain? He has no plan. Your absolutely correct. John McCain's platform is all about him and the time he spent as POW. At least Barack is making the election about us.
A lot of people may not know what Barack will bring (I do - a better future for us). Can you imagine what life would be like if we didn't do things because we didn't know what the outcome would be. A lot of our finest things have come because we took a chance on the unknown. We now have computers and other things, and we went to the moon and are exploring mars - all which was unknown years ago.
McCain - he will bring us war, no improvement in the economy, war, jobs continuing to go overseas, war, tax breaks for big companies and his wealthiest friends, war, continuing to rise food and gas prices, war, a rapidly rising deficit while we continue to send 1.8 billion dollars to Iraq (while they have a surplus), war, war, war, and more war. For those with children I think that would throw a huge red flag up. (and I don't mean the red, white and blue flag).

McCain had the right idea - he just picked the wrong token female to do it....bad judgement all the way around. There is just no justifying Palin for VP of an entire country let alone to an elderly man with cancer in his medical history.

Now we have her Hollywood smile that is as irritating as G. W.'s infamous constant smirk. Not to mention "soccer mom" to go along with "when I was in prison." and PULEZ!!! spare me that "folksy stuff." How intelligent people can say she won the debate is far beyond me. I would like to know on exactly which points she won. I didn't hear her give one single intelligent answer to a single intelligent question. Heaven help us if she is one heart beat away from the presidency. We think this country is in trouble now...........
You got that right. Couldn't say it better myself.

Thank you - couldn't have said it better
I get quite irate when I am told what I should or should not watch/read. I have a mind and I know what I feel is right from wrong. Let me think for myself. That's why I don't like a lot of the mainstream TV shows because they sit and give their opinions and then try and tell everyone that is the way they should think. The minute you try and stop certain groups from talking you take away their freedom of speech. Makes me want to shout out to them, how come you get to speak and I can't. They'll scream and shout if their viewpoint is held back but they'll hold back our viewpoints in a nannosecond.
I say let people use their own minds. Let them read and listen to everything. Then let them make up their own minds.
Knowledge is freedom!
Couldn't have said it any better myself! - sm
'I guess if churches don't want government running them, then maybe they should stop trying to run government with their religion.'
Maybe if the churches didn't keep trying to 'dish it out', they wouldn't be in danger of having to 'take it'.

We live in a time when comedians outdo pundits. Here's Jay Leno:
President Bush is expected to announce that he is now sending more troops to Iraq, despite the fact that his generals, his military analysts, members of Congress, and most of the American people are against the idea. The reason he is doing it? To give Iraq a government that responds to the will of the people.
also couldn't resist....

Couldn't ask for a better mayor....
Ditto on the Katrina and Rita chapter. Mayor Bill is top of the line. Wish he could stay forever.
I lived out West before moving back in...the commute to see friends and family was too much for me. That area experienced some of the same evolution as Sharpstown did in terms of mixed populations of ethnic populations, but without the benefit of the Super Neighborhood designation, at least as far as I know. It really has made a difference and that was the point I was trying to drive home about the proactive, inclusive approach. That progressive attitude is another thing that makes me really proud call Houston my home.
