Michelle Obama is a career woman herself.  Between her and Obama....they make like 1 million bucks a year.  That isn't all his income....that is hers as well.  She spends time campaigning and traveling to give speeches.  You say SP shouldn't be VP because she has young children.  Here Obama is with young children and nothing is said.  We assume Michelle is with them 24/7.....did Michelle personally call you and tell you that??  I am just saying that this whole argument about not liking SP because she should stay home with her children is just as relevent to argue when it comes to B. Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama and their children.

I refuse to continue to banter back and forth with you about this.  No...I don't know personally if Todd is giving up his career to stay home with the children but I see Michelle doing a he11 of a lot that keeps her away from her and Barry's children. 

Of course the economy is important and on everyone's mind right now.  This is the worst economic fiasco since the Great Depression. 

It's not always about the money. 

While this legislation is targeted at abortion, it doesn't actually say abortion.  It says "procedures."  Given it's broad language it can be translated into any type of procedure.

But lets take this scenario into consideration.  Girl gets pregnant and wants to have the baby.  Girl's health is at risk if she has the baby.  Doctor does not believe in abortion at all, so does not have to give that patient the option of abortion.  Get the picture yet?  It's not all about abortion.  It's about limiting health care in general.

You won't see that kind of thing on those news channels because they don't report black people being racist.  however, if a white person would even hint at something that may be racist even if it is stretching the truth a tad or not......it is reported all over every newspaper, station, etc.  That is the double standard that I am talking about. 

Just like the reverend who prayed at the inauguration and prayed that the white may embrace what is right.  To me that was racist but not one person mentioned it on the news.  I was offended by that.  If that had been a  white pastor saying something like that about the black community.....it would have been all over the news.  Double standards, my friend.....double standards. 

Wouldn't condoning torture fall into the sin category?  --- which is not something athiests would worry about or preach about.  The obvious point that you are ignoring is the fact that condoning torture by any "christian" is blatent hipocrisy.

You guys are all about being against gay marriage and abortion because it would be a sin, and would like to base laws on these beliefs, but when it comes to torture (also a sin) it's a whole different ballgame. 

If they have done this with other presidents, fine.  If Obama is the first, it just goes to show the love affair the media, including CNN, has with Obama and the bias they report in his favor.  That was my point and I was trying to be nice in inquiring about whether or not they had done this type of thing with previous presidents, but since you have jumped on me for my post....I'm not going to be nice any more.  I'm tired of the love affair with Obama and the free passes he gets for everything including the obvious and blantant lies that he tells.  Makes me sick. 

The reason people are scrutinizing everything Obama does is because our country is in deep deep doo doo.....if you haven't noticed......and yes this started before Obama's administration but now that he is the big cheese on campus.....it is his time to be observed and if I don't feel that what he is doing is best for our economy and our country, I have a right to say something and express my concerns.  I'm not unpatriotic for disagreeing with him.  I'm not racist for disagreeing with him.  I'm not republican for disagreeing with him. 

Barack Obama is just a man.  He isn't the Messiah like the left try to make him out to be and he isn't the anti-christ like some on the right try to portray him as.....but he is our president and I have a right to voice my opinion on whether or not I think he is doing a good job and quite frankly......I'm not very impressed with him yet.

As for CNN celebrating Obama's 100 days as president....I'm sure they will make him once again look like he does no wrong and he is to be worshiped.  Therefore, I will not be watching it.  I had enough of the sickening adoration of him during the inaguration.  I am proud that our country has looked past the prejudice of skin to elect the first African American president, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticized and questioned just like every other president that has ever been in office.  This is our country and we have a right to question what he does if we disagree with him.  I don't have a problem with an African American as president.....I just don't think Barack Obama was the right guy for the job.

And quite honestly....I'd be just as disgusted by this if this was the first 100 days of Hillary's presidency because there are a lot of things I don't agree with her on either.  So spare me!

I guess is the true definition of the "trickle down" theory.

On a personal note, I had a scheduled visit with my doctor two days ago.  In addition to CF and all its associated problems, I now have a bulging disk/facet arthropathy in my back, and it's very painful at times.  He INSISTED that I go to Physical Therapy.  I refused, telling him that I have so many bills now that I can't imagine incurring ONE MORE BILL because from a stress level, I just can't take any more of the stress that goes along with being ill and uninsured. 

So even though I'm still (somewhat) employed (part time), I, myself, am an example of a patient who is denying a medical Transcriptionist the opportunity to transcribe a PT note, so in addition to all the unemployed people, there may be some of us who are still employed but reluctant or unwilling to incur more medical bills.

you would have had him do....stand there folding it like a doofus folding towels in a laundromat?  I dunno, seems that might have reduced the dramatic impact somehow.  He had the knife in one hand, which would have made folding a tricky thing to accomplish.  Seriously, not sure how else he could have handled the flag, given the situation.  Maybe throw it over one shoulder like a toga?  One would assume those who had improperly hung the flag might have been nearby, maybe a little P.O.'d over his cutting it down.  When ''exigent circumstances'' exist, you get the flag down as efficiently as possible and worry about the frills later.  Tell us all, exactly what would Amanda do?

Decreasing the mortgage payment by 30% would only lengthen the repayment terms.  Mortgage holders wouldn't get anything out of it, but probably would end up paying more over the course of time due to interest.

What cracks me up is you asking "what's in it for me?" and then complaining about the greed of others.  Hypocrits are everywhere.
