you won't have to worry about after Obama, because you won't have anything to shop with.
Glad to know you've never shopped, borrowed money, or worked for anyone who has a business.

We are also shopping for a new car
and I am so fed up with the sales people!
I understand that they have to hustle to get you to buy a car, but the one we talked to is borderline stalking now. He sends me emails, calls, etc wanting to know if we are still interested. I told him last week that we bought a car already (lied but tired of hearing from him) and he called me again this week! Wanted to know if I liked it or if I'd like to trade it for something else!
My husband told him off the last time he called. It was okay the first and second time he called, but the tenth or eleventh is a little extreme. I kept waiting for him to show up at our house!
Shopping and wardrobe remarks
Pleeease... what do you think all these first ladies do and have done for years? You think they have been buying all those fancy gowns, etc.? I guarantee they have all been guilty of it.
I'm going shopping before O can spread my wealth around! nm

Weird car shopping experience
Late last fall I was making the rounds of used car lots. Did not see anything I liked and three salesmen made a big show of writing down what I was looking for and taking my phone number. I was afraid I would be swamped with calls, even if they did not get anything remotely near what I wanted. However, nobody called - ever. This has severely damaged the image I've always had about car salesmen as pests! I think things were rough even six months ago, and wondering why they let a hot prospect like me get away. I did end up getting a car....

Some one stop this woman from shoe shopping and spinning...sm
First of all, other than the obvious damage control (spinning) Ms. Rice is doing, what are the comparisons of Iraqi War to America's Civil War?? Second, isn't her not my department response to Katrina just the biggest taletell sign that it is time for her and her boss to go?

Condi uses Civil War to slap Iraq critics
Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.
I'm sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold, Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.
I know there were people who said, 'Why don't we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?' Rice said.
Rice also bristled at the notion that the Bush administration's slow response last year in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was because of the race of the majority of the victims.
I resented the notion that the President of the United States, this President of the United States, would somehow decide to let people suffer because they were black, Rice told the magazine.
I found that to be the most corrosive and outrageous claim that anybody could have made, and it was wholly and totally irresponsible.
Asked if she felt personally accountable, Rice said, The government did its best. People aren't perfect, and this response was not perfect. You know, I do foreign policy, I don't run Homeland Security. I don't run FEMA. I do foreign policy. She added, I did what I could to coordinate the international response.
