Displaying 17,461 To 17,490 Of 18,974 Comments Mr. Bromwich seems to be assuming a lot and not basing his knowledge on facts concerning actions taken by the President so far. We can all assume and presume that we have a handle on the reason why a person does this or that, we are often quite mistaken, so unless Mr. Bromwich has a direct line to the WH, his article is just based on personal presumptions and therefore holds no merit for me, in fact he sounds just like all the other Obama bashers before him and those still waiting in line behind him. I just did a brief check on Mr. Bromwich to find out that he’s a contributor at HP, well what do you know or maybe I’m just being a little presumptuous? » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 1:12 am It never fails to amaze me that in country as vast as yours, with a population of over 303 million, 201 million eligible voter and about 160 million registered voters, one group or the other would be selfish enough to believe that the President is exclusive to their needs and forget the he is the President of your entire country. This instant gratification pursuit after only 11 months in office is something that I find hard to get my head around and I’ve noticed it a lot with my American friends in the past, not just in politics but in their lives too. Maybe it’s time for some people to slow down their complaining and endless whining, so they don’t miss all the scenery on the way to their destination. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 12:52 am President Obama’s Nobel Speech I’ll behave and save the next link for Morning Blog. I support your President and I’m not even an American citizen. Good night Hpoeington. Take care and see you later. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 12:00 am Another perspective of the President’s speech in Oslo, this one thankfully not besmirched by bias, jealousy or hate. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/10/obama-norwegians-nobel-snub-harald Or this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8405033.stm » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 11:48 pm Yes but thankfully not all Americans or I wouldn’t have spent over 2 years and a half blogging on American blogs. Good night nellie, sleep well. I will be around at Stupid O’Clock, so might see you but hope you can get a little more rest tonight. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 10:37 pm Boomer left a link for me on her post, it was a guy who was claiming the President didn’t know how to give good speeches. I was both annoyed and amused. Annoyed because he’s talking out of the back of his hairnet and probably firmly believes Georgie was the great speech giver, sorry that’s amusing too I believe. Amused because it takes a lot to get us Europeans to appreciate and applaud a speech by another leader and in some cases it might just be our good mannered nature, in this case and in his previous speeches around the globe, it was because they believed his words, a world of difference. We Europeans don’t like it when idiotic, so called journalists think that we are naive or stupid, I can assure you that we are neither. Thanks for the videos nellie, I missed it on CNN international this morning. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 10:25 pm I could do with a few “little ole ladies” myself. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 8:18 pm I was a bit of a rebel in my salad days. If someone said it can’t be done, I’d do it myself just to prove them wrong. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 8:15 pm The ceilings were so high, I had to put a chair on a table to reach the top. I’m lucky to still be in one piece, even if the piece is a little rusty here, there and everywhere. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 7:56 pm I’m drooling, turquoise, copper and crystals sounds like heaven. I love rose gold and have found many interesting antique pieces in my travels. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 7:53 pm I once panted the walls of our London, Victorian built apartment in burgundy, thought it would compliment the high ceiling. After about a week we felt as if we had landed in a horror movie and the walls were closing in. Painted the whole thing again in pristine white. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 7:40 pm I would have to say SNAP to everything except making my own as I never get peace or for that matter space to do anything for myself. At the moment one of our furry monsters is perched on the Christmas cards I was writing and left on the table, batting my pen to the floor. I often wish that we hadn’t had the bright idea of knocking down walls to make extra space, I lost my little study with a door when we decided to do that. 🙁 » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 7:07 pm Sounds ok to me Khirad, at least you won’t be hogging the mirror from your girlfriend. Here in Japan, it’s often hard to tell the boys from the girls. Make-up for guys is something that remains something that rock and heavy metal groups wear on stage and I wish that I could convince a few Japanese of both sexes that blonde hair really does nothing for their skin tones, it makes them look ill. Some time ago when we still lived in London, my hair was dyed black for a photo shoot my hubby was doing. The unfortunate thing was that a few weeks later I was admitted to a hospital with an irregular heartbeat. I’m fair skinned, almost white, one poor nurse had the shock of her life when she saw my long, black curly hair and snow white face on the pillow, she thought I was dead, screamed for assistance, waking up the whole ward of older ladies. Two weeks later when I was discharged, I had my hair cut very short so that I could grow it out, I’ll never do that again. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 6:42 pm You make jewelry, how interesting, I would imagine that your creations look stunning with black. A lot of my pieces are ethnic or antiques and some are quite bulky, they work best with black outfits. I’m often amazed at how many shade of black there really are, even bought a black based rug for the living room, must have been a one of those days when I lost my mind, I had forgotten about our Blue Persian. Now I’m suffering the consequences every day, he sheds cotton wool sized balls all the year around, even my trusted Dyson can’t cope. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 6:27 pm A kindred spirit, how reassuring. 🙂 The problem with black clothes is finding what you are looking for in a dimly lit closet with poor eyesight like mine. Getting ready to go out, on the rare occasions that I do, is always an adventure. “Paint it Black!” » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:47 pm You think? {_ » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:09 pm Sorry about that but I clean up nicely. 🙂 Good afternoon bito. Rain, rain and more rain. Dark, dull and cold, I love it! » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 4:43 pm Hi Q, wonderful story, you certainly changed her life. Kudos to you. You’ve made me want to rush to my wardrobe to check it I have any “girly” things but alas everything I can see is a different shade of black, a colour I have always been comfortable with since my late 20’s. In fact the only things that I remember being outstanding were a bright fuchsia pink t-shirt and a turquoise “Issey Miyake” leather jacket, both long gone. I suppose some of us settle down after we are married for whatever reason, no more short skirts or revealing tops unless we want the “evil eyed! look from hubby. We acquire a menagerie of long nailed fluffy things, our clothes are full of hair and in tatters, we begin to dress to please ourselves. I’ve had an aversion to ribbons, bows and lace since I was knee high. Ribbons were ripped out of my hair as soon as I left the house, bows disappeared, those just weren’t the clothes for climbing trees or sliding down coal tips in a cardboard box. The tomboy I was still lurks in me and I’m not uncomfortable with this at all. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 4:29 pm You are welcome and good night to you. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 11:53 pm Here you go.

I’ve heard speeches and then I have heard SPEECHES and your President is about the best I have ever heard. I’m so tired of the Obama bashing, most of it out of your own country, it’s becoming so tedious for this European and I’m sure for many more of us too. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 7:17 pm Sorry for the added burden. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:27 pm Thank you so much. Sometimes when I go directly to a news network’s page, the video won’t play for anyone living outside of the States, so this was a nice change. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:22 pm OBL has now become “OTHER BLIGHTER’S LOT” as far as McGrumps is concerned. Have a feeling he needs a map to find his way home these days. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:17 pm Thank you boomer, I got up a little late this morning so I must have missed his speech on CNN international. Is there somewhere that I can watch the whole speech? » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:06 pm Talking about Not Talking about Not Talking Take your time, it sounds worth waiting for, good luck. I am a European living in Tokyo and 17 hours ahead of you all on the west coast, 14 hours ahead of the east coast. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 11:23 pm A hard to fathom story about your son, I’m still shaking my head and picking up my jaw from the floor, it must have been a very hard time for you both and it breaks my heart to read about it. So sorry that you went through so much unnecessary grief and I hope that you will consider doing a post about the prison system, I and I’m sure many others would be very interested to read it. Ok, when you can make it over, if you just scroll down a little, I left a link for some Christmas recipes that looked quite delicious. Look forward to seeing you there and anywhere here on the Planet. Take care. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 10:59 pm Was this your moniker over in the “dark” place? Pop in any time, I try to leave a few links to interesting stories, photos or even recipes. You are more than welcome. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 10:29 pm He is facing a few health problems but hopes to be back next week sometime. I will pass on that you were asking about him and thanks. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 9:59 pmComments Posted By Kalima
