Displaying 16,141 To 16,170 Of 18,974 Comments President Obama Confronts the GOP Head On For all who have lamented that the President is too soft in his approach to the GOP, it would seem that even an even tempered man like he has often appeared to be, has had enough. Looks like the gloves ARE coming off. Pasty, thanks a bunch for the link, I look forward to watching and listening to his every word. » Posted By Kalima On January 29, 2010 @ 4:02 pm I think that the stay-at-home instead of voting Dems have retained the d » Posted By Kalima On January 30, 2010 @ 5:31 pm It’s still my private phone number. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 9:51 pm I’m out to lunch, you can speak to the lady inside my answer phone, she seems quite polite. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 8:58 pm Hey, that’s my phone number! » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 8:36 pm You can, but it doesn » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 7:38 pm You know how I feel about slimy Murdoch, the Brits feel the same about his sleazy rags like “The Sun” and “News of the World” over there. Everything the man touches is slimy with his greed and lack of ethics, why he was allowed free range to create his cesspool in America, is still something which irks me too. I’m hoping to read any day about a criminal violation which might see his organization, slide further back into the stinking gutters he first climbed out of, I hope it’s soon. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 6:07 pm There are people who follow and then there are people who think. The people who follow would rather have their food cut into small pieces and half chewed, than bother with the task of having to cut it and chew it themselves. For them, seeing someone on their TV screens or ranting on a blog, printed in a newspaper or magazine is enough to convince them that it must be true. These are also the same people who will buy things advertised on the telli and vote like their friends and neighbours to fit in. I call them lazy. People who think will not take the words of critics, pundits and loathsome talking heads as gospel because we know better. We are aware of their end games and agendas, we research and refute their lies, we are beyond being fooled. I have a strong aversion to being told what to listen to in music, which films to watch or not watch, which clothes I should wear to be trendy, the hairstyle, make up and skin care I just must use to be accepted as beautiful, who to like and who to hate. I gag when I see “Self Help” books, written by a bunch of people who seem convinced that they know me better than I know myself. This constant pushing of ideas by people who have a medium to reach many of us, when the people who are doing the pushing have the same or even less knowledge of the subject, has always made this Bull see red and I basically take no notice. It might not be earth-shattering but it’s the way I fight back at these clowns taking advantage of their position to invade the privacy of our homes with their constant twaddle. My other defense which works even better, is to leave my TV turned off unless there is something on which I really want to watch. Yesterday was the first time I tuned into CNN in about 4 months, the last time was for another speech by your President. I praise the “Mute” and the “On/Off” buttons, they have brought a tranquil peace of mind to my life and leave me with an option which is the right of each of us, the right to control our own thoughts. Being a foreigner here on an American blog, I must disagree with your premise that we have no business voicing our opinions about your government or your politics. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 4:40 pm Well being as no one has done so yet directly, I will apologize. LuluMay thank you for sharing your own very personal feelings about your President. It was honest and heartfelt as were some of your earlier posts last year. I’m sorry that you have returned to find your message trampled on and littered with debris, please don’t let this stop you from sharing your thoughts or your pride in your President. I for one am always ready to listen. Thank you so much for the inspiration. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 10:23 pm I’m sorry Tiger but the word”only” is totally false in your assumption that the “only” people who voted for Obama were new voters. I know many people in America who were not first time voters, who voted for Obama, I’ve also met many on the various blog sites I’ve been a member of. One friend was even in the planning of the first “Grass roots” support of Obama years before he ever became a candidate, so I beg to differ with your use of the word “only.” Whether or not some of the people picked for this administration were a mistake, will reveal itself at the end of the President’s first term. I doubt that any of us have a bird’s eye view of everything single thing which might be happening in the WH or the number of legal problems there are to be solved after the Bush gang took full advantage of legal loopholes to further their cockeyed agenda at home and abroad. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 9:28 pm I wasn’t addressing you Tiger, so your beef with me is misdirected because I was speaking about progressives who have nothing but their own agendas in mind, if you fit in this group I was generalizing about, then so be it. As for your premise that people only voted for Obama because they were against McCain, I find it laughable and wonder where your attention was during the primaries and the GE, certainly not with the people who really listened to and appreciated Obama’s message. Maybe 8 years of Bush wasn’t long enough for some people. And why wouldn’t anyone bring up the pile of steaming s@it which the President inherited, it’s a bloody fact, cleaning up Bush’s mess is also a fact. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 7:50 pm I think that they must have conveniently blocked the previous 8 years before out of their minds, therefore forgetting why they elected President Obama in the first place. His words during his campaign, which I have repeated here since last year over and over again, seem to have been lost in the fog of self gratification. “Change won’t be easy, there will be sacrifice. I can’t do it alone. I need your help” has fallen on deaf ears for many only concerned with their own agendas in a nation of over 300 million people. I feel that rather than the President has let them down, they have let the President down and now are no better than the meanest RW trolls. Shame on them when they should be aware of the tremendous opposition he has been facing since he took office a year ago. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 5:57 pm Hi LuluMay, it’s so good to see you again, I hope that you have been well. “I know there are some Obama supporters who are disappointed in you first year. Sir, I am not one of them. Perhaps the difference is that I REMEMBER the promises of CANDIDATE Obama & the promises he made. You never said it would be easy; you never said it would happen at once and you ALWAYS said you could NOT do it alone.’ Amen to that, how quickly people have forgotten his words and jumped with such ease on the critical “Judgment” train. I share your trust in the President and know from experience, that change can take a long time. I’m grateful that although I have many faults, I’ve been blessed with penchant for patience and will use it when I know that someone is trying to do their best for me. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 4:07 pm State of the Union Address – Live Blog Good night Cher, sleep well. I have to leave soon too, a date with my father on Skype in about 20 minutes. See you on the MB maybe. Sleep well everyone. » Posted By Kalima On January 28, 2010 @ 12:09 am Hello wts! Willkommen! » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:58 pm She reminds me of the words of an old song. “I love myself! I love myself! » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:50 pm She is brilliant, I saw her in a clip Khirad posted yesterday. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:46 pm I tried to hear this in her voice and yes, it sounds just like her scrambled meanderings. Perfect! » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:35 pm I agree Cher, the woman is bitter and very envious and as KQ suggested above, really believes that she can do a better job of being the President. Who on earth would vote for her when even I can’t understand a word she’s talking about. Don’t they have a pill for her nasty condition? » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:19 pm Expect Maher to mimick her cockeyed views any time soon. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 11:09 pm I just got this in an email, I haven’t taken my name off her “fan of” list yet and I don’t go there any other time. Maybe she made him an offer he could refuse and she wasn’t invited for dinner, remember? Whatever, people who actually followed the speech from beginning to end will know about her “sour grapes” attack. Really nasty, she seems to evaluate people in her own shallow image. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 10:58 pm The Queen Bee gives her 1 cent or should that be drachma worth. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/obamas-state-of-the-focus_b_439732.html » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 10:42 pm 😆 Ed Wood, maybe he could have at that. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 9:29 pm Not much could be worse than Bobby but this one was like a dried out sponge cake and just as pasty, a very bad “B” movie actor. His audience, just like the Repubs during your President’s speech, looked just like a hand picked group of Egyptian Mummies or Daddies. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 9:22 pm Nighty night bito, rest well. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 9:16 pm No problem Cher, I answered you below, also with a smile. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 8:59 pm I’ll be watching closely to see what happens after this speech but I believe he meant every word and that his attitude toward the opposition has and will change. I’m not really sure about Winston, he did speak in a rather posh voice though. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 8:53 pm Good night kesmarn, have a good rest. How long before we tell someone about Joe? 😉 » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 8:43 pm Personally I think that he’s just too much of a gentleman to ever really let it rip and get nasty. Then again why should he, he can fight them by signing/passing new bills and legislations, that should be enough to knock the naysayers on their collective behinds. I prefer a man of integrity and principles to an outright bully any day. I can’t fault him for who he is, he was brought up, not dragged up, that’s the difference. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 8:41 pm Welcome back Cher, that must have been a whopper. Glad you are feeling better. » Posted By Kalima On January 27, 2010 @ 8:25 pmComments Posted By Kalima
Americans have absolutely no reserve about criticizing the leaders or the people of other countries, whether they actually have any real knowledge or not, and as a member/citizen of the world, I have every right to say how I feel. Your country has after all stuck it’s far reaching nose into the business of other countries for decades and if it is something which might affect me or my many American friends, then I will continue to express how I feel. Minding my own business is something I heard from many on Huff over the years, I don’t expect to hear it here.
I’m crazy about myself!!”
