I feel pulled in both directions. <br />Obama being in the view more than past President.. does that run in the idea he said during elections of being transparent? Yet, there are times I feel it is over done. <br /><br />President jokes never go over well. Look at Bush, he surely bombed with his... and even a few of the older ones. Maybe it is inside jokes? I don't know, maybe find better things to joke about. <br /><br />As far as him speaking up about Iran, I am glad he doesn't. I don't see England speaking up or others. The best thing is to keep it low keyed or actually I am more comfortable with him keeping his mouth shut. <br />After all, would we want them second guess our elections? Had they weighed in on the Bush/Gore mess, would we taken that well? No. We just didn't go to the streets and get beat. Oh, what about Kent, we weren't much better there either. <br /><br />The Obama date nights. Reminds me of Kennedy's who came to Newport R.I.(Jackie's mother lived there) often during his term. Which never made the news. And others that went to their favorite place often but not in the news. Bush in Maine, Reagan to Ca. and etc.<br />And a lot of Obama's thing is, he doesn't invite the media. They hound everyone... including him. This is a far more visible times than in the past from the media,Twitter, U-Tube and etc. <br /><br />Sorry for the length.Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-14586468312174990272009-06-21T05:58:26.690-07:002009-06-21T05:58:26.690-07:00Finally, the voice of reason in this otherwise bew...Finally, the voice of reason in this otherwise bewitched country.

The joke was tasteless and jetting around for a date night with the wife is tasteless when so many people are losing homes, struggling with foreclosures and just got a pink slip.<br /><br />Thought the comment about Sotomayor was interesting. The Belizean Grove does discriminate against gender - odd when a woman gets nipped for doing what men do all the time. Anyway, no doubt she did not see herself as Supreme Court material and that says something. I'm glad she was a part of the organization I still do not like her politics due to her pro federal - anitstate-rights positions.WR https://www.blogger.com/profile/05730763054918340998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-38038716480594825782009-06-20T14:28:59.907-07:002009-06-20T14:28:59.907-07:00Linda, there was no doubt in my mind but that you ...Linda, there was no doubt in my mind but that you would.Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-4985529731677998632009-06-20T14:23:28.472-07:002009-06-20T14:23:28.472-07:00I disagree.I disagree.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
