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!

...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 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.

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! 

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.

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!

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. 

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!

he is not even President yet and his campaign and followers are practicing big-time intimidation.  That reporter in Florida had the guts to ask Biden a hard question, the campaign says no soup for you!  Cancelled the rest of the scheduled interviews.  Said they would not be given access in an Obama administration.  A maxed-out contributor to Obama's campaign ordered a background check on Joe the Plumber...just an average American who asked Obama a hard question.  People have been threatened when they say anything negative about him.  What are these people going to do if they get REAL power?  Food for thought.

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.

So it's okay to consistently call Obama a socialist and not Palin?  Do you even look this stuff up or is that just you being Mavericky?

An economics professor at Texas Tech University , Lubbock , TX said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The majority of that class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.
 
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged, everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else.

All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away, no one will try or succeed.

if you're going to make a statement gt don't beat around the bush.  Just come right out and say it.

I'm sure they would welcome you with open arms.
