Why should he care about us. He just plain doesn't and it's coming out every day.
Punish the hard working, honest people.

Yeah and guess what the Bush family has tight ties with the Bin Ladin family....

Family values....Obama's family can't even agree

I feel very sorry indeed for Sarah Palin and her family, she ran for VP, not her family, she should
on her experience, her political record, etc, period, no attacking children, and no one throwing stones at "sinner" daughters, that is what I mean, the media wants to put people on pedestals and then throw stones at them at they hunt down not just the public figure, but all their loved ones, I think it is disgusting, it is a HUMAN issue, has nothing to do with politics on either side, why twist my post that way?
Interview with Charmaine Neville, family member of the Neville musical family
September 7, 2005
Women were Being Raped, Babies were Being Killed, Alligators were Eating People, But Where the Hell was the National Guard?
How We Survived the Flood
By CHARMAINE NEVILLE
This is a transcription of an interview Charmaine Neville, of New Orleans's legendary Neville family, gave to local media outlets on Monday, September 5.
I was in my house when everything first started. When the hurricane came, it blew all the left side of my house off, and the water was coming in my house in torrents.
I had my neighbor, an elderly man, and myself, in the house with our dogs and cats, and we were trying to stay out of the water. But the water was coming in too fast. So we ended up having to leave the house.
We left the house and we went up on the roof of a school. I took a crowbar and I burst the door on the roof of the school to help people on the roof.
Later on we found a flat boat, and we went around the neighborhood in a flat boat getting people out of their houses and bringing them to the school.
We found all the food that we could and we cooked and we fed people. But then, things started getting really bad.
By the second day, the people that were there, that we were feeding and everything, we had no more food and no water. We had nothing, and other people were coming in our neighborhood. We were watching the helicopters going across the bridge and airlift other people out, but they would hover over us and tell us Hi! and that would be all. They wouldn't drop us any food or any water, or nothing.
Alligators were eating people. They had all kinds of stuff in the water. They had babies floating in the water.
We had to walk over hundreds of bodies of dead people. People that we tried to save from the hospices, from the hospitals and from the old-folks homes. I tried to get the police to help us, but I realized they were in the same straits we were. We rescued a lot of police officers in the flat boat from the 5th district police station. The guy who was in the boat, he rescued a lot of them and brought them to different places so they could be saved.
We understood that the police couldn't help us, but we couldn't understand why the National Guard and them couldn't help us, because we kept seeing them but they never would stop and help us.
Finally it got to be too much, I just took all of the people that I could. I had two old women in wheelchairs with no legs, that I rowed them from down there in that nightmare to the French Quarters, and I went back and got more people.
There were groups of us, there were about 24 of us, and we kept going back and forth and rescuing whoever we could get and bringing them to the French Quarter because we heard that there were phones in the French Quarter, and that there wasn't any water. And they were right, there were phones, but we couldn't get through to anyone.
I found some police officers. I told them that a lot of us women had been raped down there by guys, not from the neighborhood where we were, they were helping us to save people. But other men, and they came and they started raping women and they started killing, and I don't know who these people were. I'm not gonna tell you I know, because I don't.
But what I want people to understand is that, if we hadn't been left down there like the animals that they were treating us like, all of those things wouldn't have happened. People are trying to say that we stayed in that city because we wanted to be rioting and we wanted to do this and, we didn't have resources to get out, we had no way to leave.
When they gave the evacuation order, if we could've left, we would have left.
There are still thousands and thousands of people trapped in their homes in the downtown area. When we finally did get into the 9th ward, and not just in my neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods in the 9th ward, there were a lot of people still trapped down there... old people, young people, babies, pregnant women. I mean, nobody's helping them.
And I want people to realize that we did not stay in the city so we could steal and loot and commit crimes. A lot of those young men lost their minds because the helicopters would fly over us and they wouldn't stop. We would make SOS on the flashlights, we'd do everything, and it really did come to a point, where these young men were so frustrated that they did start shooting. They weren't trying to hit the helicopters, they figured maybe they weren't seeing. Maybe if they hear this gunfire they will stop then. But that didn't help us. Nothing like that helped us.
Finally, I got to Canal St. with all of my people I had saved from back there.
I don't want them arresting nobody else. I broke the window in an RTA bus. I never learned how to drive a bus in my life. I got in that bus. I loaded all of those people in wheelchairs and in everything else into that bus, and we drove and we drove and we drove and millions of people was trying to get me to help them to get on the bus, too.
Charmaine Neville is a member of the third generation of New Orleans's legendary Neville musical family. She fronts the Charmaine Neville Band.
I also think it has to do with what they have done in their lives...
Michelle has, through her career, spoken in public many times, and in her profession I am sure speaks before groups, boards, etc. She was also very active in the primary season. She is no stranger to public speaking.
Cindy McCain has been a doer, not a talker, as far as her humanitarian stuff. THat is not to imply that Michelle Obama has not done anything...just that Cindy McCain is not one of those people comfortable in the spotlight. And different personalities...I think Michelle Obama is definitely type A...what energy!
Thank God for the lives that were
into the Hudson River! Everyone that I have seen interviewed have said something to the effect that they were praying during that ordeal.
*As an athiest, I can assure you that I am not looking to fill a vacancy. I belive in the human race -- the drive, will, and instinct that drive any species to success* I doubt seriously that any of them will be talking about believing in the human race any time soon!
empty lives.
Bleak winter months. No interests. Can this explain it? The criticisms seem so weak and lacking in any real conviction. Is it merely failure to accept the inevitable? The years of carping from the right have ended. Perhaps lack of adaptability? Does not bode well according to Darwinism. Fade away, fade away, fade away..
continued...save lives????

The people there are risking their lives
Of course, not as much as the troops, but there are attempts, shootings, bombs, threats, etc.
I never said that the troops should just do their jobs. I worked along side military members from every branch of service. But, if you choose to be in the military, you have a lot more to worry about than some people protesting.
People have been protesting the military for several years now (all of my life-time and then some), and it is not going to change. Do I agree with all protesting? No. But, as long as they are obeying the law, they are within their rights.
Very sad. Our soldiers are giving their lives....sm
and they are coming home severly injured to less than adequate medical care after excellent care in the field, no psychological counseling, no support for their families, deplorable living conditions, and on and on. I believe this war is wrong but support the troops 100%. Disgraceful!
Amanda has really summed up most of our lives and
it is scary. I wonder how many transcription companies will close their doors within the next year. The top 3 transcription companies may be all that are left before long.

Politicians and their love lives
aren't really important to me. This guy didn't lie under oath about his affair. Clinton did but I still really don't care. There peckers and/or cigars aren't my concern. I'm more concerned about how our country is being run and the money being spent, etc. Affairs are things that happen too often. I don't condone that type of behavior but they will have to pay the consequences for their actions. More important issues to discuss than this.
So, when do all the groupies renounce their worldly lives...
and start selling flowers at the airport?

YIPES the rabid cons are taking over..Run for your lives
Liberals..YIPES..run for your life..this board has been taken over by rabid conservatives..I decided the other day not to read the posts from the conservatives who have the nerve to come over here and start trouble..Their posts are like fungus, they just keep multiplying.
Pubs can't stay on task if their lives depended on it.
Americans don't elect issues wimps.
Obama lives in a fantasy land of his own making.
Unfortunately, he is also a gifted speaker and is leading many people down the yellow brick road to a magical make believe land. Too bad Obama can't see the big picture of anything.
sorry - the man is not a pollworker - is a poll watcher and lives in the building - nm

yeah, but i turned on the TV to watch Days of Our Lives
and everyone watching that channel was doing so to watch Days of Our Lives. If we wanted to watch news, we would turn to news channels.
People who want less gov't interference in their lives (CONSERVATIVES) are being labeled..sm
Those who attend the Tea Parties are being labeled "right wing extremists." As an organizer of a Tea Party in my town, I am going to wear that label with pride. Below is the quote from the Dept. of Homeland Security:
On the eve of the nationwide tax day Tea Parties, Barack Obama's DHS has issued a "rightwing" threat assessment to warn of the "current economic and political climate fueling resurgence in radicalization and recruitment" for "rightwing extremism." Who are these extremists? According to the report, adherants are rimarily "hate-oriented" or "antigovernment" but also include "individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
Personally, I think it is more than quite a coincidence that Obama's DHS is warning of the "rightwing" threat on the eve of the Tea Parties! This is a blatant attempt to taint the efforts of those who are standing for a patriotic, idea-based resistance.
Anything or anyone who does not toe the Obamarama line or has not drunk the kook-aid, is automatically considered a "right wing extremist."
There is a 10 page document put out by an office which is a branch of the Dept Homeland Security called "The Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division. Coordinated with the FBI.
There are 4 words that should make you very nervous....COORDINATED WITH THE FBI. Below is the link to download or read the PDF file.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Remember,Rome decayed from within.
Ok, off my soapbox.
Big Brother is I believe a covert force infiltrating each and every one's personal lives without
their knowledge. That is hardly the same thing as a poster on an MT board noticing that 4 different names post the same thing. I think that is creepy. I have been on this board for a long time and I recognize patterns, phrases that are repeated verbatim from far in the past, things people remember about me and say something like ***weren't you the one who ....*** and it is posted under a name different from the original. I leave Big Brother to our shadow government, wherever they are.
grrr...obama and bush interruped Days of Our Lives nm

Exactly who are the rest of you???
xx
Uh, the rest of us are those... sm
Who believe in facts, logic, science, reason, etc. above fairy tales and magical thinking/wishing. You know, like an adult? I should think that would be obvious.
And you assume that because I don't believe in your religion that I have "nothing to believe in." No. I just don't believe what you believe. Why? Well, mainly, lack of evidence. Oh, and the fact that I wasn't indoctrinated/brainwashed as a child to unquestionably believe something for which there is no proof.
While you may continue to love and pray for me, I can continue to love and wish the best for you. Praying/wishing, I don't see a big difference.
What do you mean by the rest of us?
What you got here is socialism in black and white and for the life of me, I do not understand why anyone would think all this would come your way free and clear. This is coming your way, complements of Obama, to the tune of around 3.5 trillion dollars.
And on top of that, he is talking giving checks to people who don't work. Aren't we already doing that?
Try to keep up with the rest of us
http://forum.mtstars.com/misc/v/11/52098.html
Sheesh...
Rest assured, we won't. SM
Do you have recess time on this board?
The rest of the numbers. TI
This is reality in Israel: From 29 September 2000 through 11 January 2003:
5,041 injured, 717 killed, 15,992 attacks
IDF Spokesperson 12 January 2003
Injured: 3,585 Civilians + 1,456 Security Forces = 5,041 Total Israeli Injured
Killed: 503 Civilians + 214 Security Forces = 717 Total Israeli Killed
Total Attacks*: 7,139 West Bank + 8,203 Gaza Strip + 650 Home Front =15,992 Total
* Does not include attacks with rocks or fire bombs.
This is a death toll greater (in proportion) than America suffered on 9/11 and the American people would never tolerate this! So why should Israel have to endure this year after year while the world does nothing? The same people that hate Israel are the same people that hate America!
What you do DOES silence the rest of us.

give it a rest ....nm
.
Give it a rest, already.
You're like a dang gnat that needs a swat. Unless you know what was going on behind the scenes in both parties, knock it off. Like Biden was the so-called "new politician's" first choice? He was supposedly the safest choice.
Not when the rest of the country = 61%
mm
Here's the rest of the story.
1. No soup for researching the breakdown on appropriations and who came down for and against as they progressed through time. That "congress did" cop-out does not cover for the fact that between 2002 and 2007, Dems were outnumbered by war zealots with glazed-over eyes as they followed a leader of liars and prevailed on the money issues. Answer: The pubs dominated and ARE credited for building up a $400B debt, no matter how fast you spin it.
2. Thank you. Obama voted against. Vision, conviction and courage to place principle over politics. Biden voted for, but has since stated he believes it was a mistake because of the W administration mismanagement of the war. Go here for Biden on the issue of Iraq: Does not appear to be part of the fleeced flock anymore. http://www.ontheissues.org/Joe_Biden.htm.
3. Obama. Ahead of the curve. Petraeus is not running for president.
4. Petraeus is a military man with a military agenda and a reputation to protect, just like McCain. Trouble is, public is war weary and are looking for nonmilitary solutions…or at least somebody who is willing to consider such notions. There has to be a plan for what lies beyond the surge, which is not an everlasting solution. Question is whose plan? Bush and McCain NOW get it that Obama gots it and are going with his flow. According to you, Petraeus is onboard too. By the way, the Iraqi leadership just might be entitled to weigh in on this one. After all, it IS their country. They backed Obama on international television this past summer, lest we forget.
5. Well then, according to you, Petraeus is onboard troop draw-down. No highjack here, but a bit slow on the draw.
6. There has been no political resolution. Iraqis have not taken control of their own nation. Exactly what do you think will happen after troop withdrawal? The Sunni, Shia and Kurds will throw farewell flowers at the troops and each other in gratitude for all the help and Iraq will become the "oasis of democracy" in the Middle East? All the surge has done is prolong the inevitable. We need to step aside NO MATTER WHAT the consequences and hand the Iraqis the keys to the kingdom and let them sort themselves out.
I hope you got some rest.
At least a dozen people? When this kind of bigotry rears its ugly head, it breaks all kinds of silence. Let me make this clear to you. My post was responding to the bigotry, the lie and the ignorance being displayed and not to the other poster who was responding to the to the bigotry, the lie and the ignorance. How many different ways do you want to make yourself look foolish?
So what about the rest of the post
Is it only welfare to the poor that ticks you off so? I raised some specific points. Just curious. All of the rest of it is okay by you?
I rest my case!
Pittsburgh law enforcement sources tell TMZ they have serious questions about the authenticity of the alleged victim who says she had her face cut by a politically-motivated attacker.
We're told there are several things about the alleged attack that don't add up. A Pittsburgh PD official says they are conducting a "thorough investigation" and have not determined if the alleged attack is real or a hoax. But we're told there is definitely a level of skepticism.
Give it a rest will ya? s/m
Or better yet, let's declare NEITHER candidate was born in the U.S. and declare this election OFF and see if we can't come up with 2 better candidates!!!!
This needs to be laid to rest
Mine shows none of that here in Pennsylvania when I had to get a copy. My copy has only DOB, file number, date filed, date issued, count of birth, name, and sex. It also has the raised seal. That's it.
It doesn't need to have all that other information to be real.
Yeah and the rest by Sam...
Shame on you!  I guess you believe in God though right. The man did have a death in his family. Give it a rest already, and no I'm not GP. I'm another MT just like you with a little heart I guess. 
Rest yourself assured that this is just more of the same...sm
garbage spewn by people who have a vested interest in unrest in our country. Even IF Obama had been born in Russia, his mother was an natural born American citizen and that right was automatically conferred to him the second he was born. NO ONE can take American citizenship from someone against their will, even in the case of a child. NO ONE ! ! So all this trash is a moot point.
i rest my case
no need for further discussion, you proved my point!
you can put lipstick on a pig..you know the rest..nm
//
Give it a rest, BB....... sm
Don't you have more pressing issues to think about....such as the economy?
At least that is what I was reprimanded for on the board several days ago when I pointed out one of Obama's shortcomings, at least as I saw it.
Onward and upward, cheerio pip-pip and all that good stuff.
There ya go, I rest my case nm
thanks!
The Rest Of The Story
The civil jury rejected most of the claims against Roger Barnett but found him liable for assault and infliction of emotional distress. He was ordered to pay $77,804--$60,000 of it in punitive damages.
Barnett is a well-known vigilante who flashes a fake police badge and has been sued a number of times, including detaining some Americans who were on a hunting trip. Apparently to Barnett, if you look Mexican then you're an illegal alien. Barnett's 22,000-acre ranch includes private and federal lease holdings and almost 14,000 acres of state-leased land.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-border-confrontation,1,5753960.story
The idea of having US troops patrolling the Mexican border is ludicrous and will never happen.
I'm glad for you but what about the rest of us
You are the first person I have heard to receive anything that Obama has promised. I caught some of his speech tonight. I like some of it (energy and stuff even though it's very confusing to understand), but for the most part it sounded like he was on the campaign trail again and all I was waiting for was "and I'll end world hunger" ha ha ha.
I agreed with another poster who said what in the world was that republican rebuttal talking about. There are so many other good republicans out there who would have spoken better (and said things I would have understood). I was listening while I was making supper and I kept asking DH what in the world is he talking about. I just don't understand why with so many other good republican speakers (R. Paul for one), why don't they ever get up and talk.
Anyway...I'm glad for you with your Cobra, but I'm not seeing any changes and nobody I know of is seeing any changes. We just keep getting fed his campaign speeches of hope, hope, hope. It's time now to stop talking about hope and tell us what is being done (and none of this feel-good stuff which is lies to fool the public into thinking good things are happening when nothing actually is). I want to see it in writing. I don't see jobs being created so half of my family who were laid off can go back to work. Well I guess I'll find out come tax time if Obama is good on his word. I "hope" so, but the whole economy thing is so depressing right now. I am hopeful and will keep my fingers crossed. If my taxes are lower I'm going to come on this board and say thank you Obama.
Once again proclaiming yourself as better than the rest of us.
so long
It's not that hard to be better than the rest of you.nm
