She was complacent and took for granted her big lead. She was arrogant and it cost us a seat. The best thing I can do for Hairyanna now is to continue to post negative comments about her and her gang inside my regular comments over there, continuosly. Let’s see if she tries to ban me for excercising my free speech. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:05 am WTF? This bipartisan shit has gotten too ridiculous for me. Does he think for one minute the repugs are going to pay it forward to him? He must have lost his mind………….Okay, now for some serious comment. What the hell is he thinking? Is he giving them the go ahead to do something against his wishes? I sure hope so. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 1:54 pm I am surprised at her as well. I watched a talk she gave at the UCC in Florida and based on what she said there, I was shocked to here her badmouthing Obama like she is now doing. I just do not get it……….. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:49 am The only one not to compromise in this whole mess is Nancy Pelosi. I am not real fond of her, but I used to really really dislike her. I have some respect for the woman now. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:44 am I have another that is more the official list, he got alot done but it was all against EPA, protections for citizens and our environment, education, and huge deficits » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:40 am can you see the phone banks lighting up, the servers at the WH and Congress would go down for sure. they thought the attention with the TARP was bad, this would probably take down their data center LOL. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:36 am That was supposed to be State of the Union speech » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:27 am In a way, I am, but in another way I am not. I guess I would love to see the storm after such an announcement, clarifying they are all hypocrits and think only of themselves. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:26 am Here here Adlib. I knew someone would express it in more gentle terms than I did. But I would love to make that announcement and watch the phones light up. I think we need to have national referrendums similar to the states on these types of bills. They affect us, why not let the American people decide? » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:24 am LOL, but someone just needs to say it to the nation, in a nicer way than I just did. BTW I would add that seniors will get a final statement to show that for the most part, they received more care than they paid for and in the event they did not, a refund check would be included, closing their account. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:21 am So they voted in a teabagger LOL. Seriously though, she did run a terrible campaign. Where was Tim Kaine? » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:08 am Ok, I am going to admit it, I am in a bad mood today. But if I were president right now and I had an upcoming State of the Nation speech, here is what I would do: I would explain very calmly that “I understand the majority of Americans do not want government run healthcare and for that reason we are discontinuing the bill, BUT, since the majority do not want gov run healthcare we are also going to now discontinue Medicare, Medicaid and any payments to hospitals for non paid emergency care. The people want to save money and get government out of their lives, so this is the best way to do just that. Oh and good luck in dealing with the insurance companies on your own. And now I will take any questions people might have………………..” Talk about a “shock doctrine”. But then I am not president and probably for good reason. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 11:05 am Then you and I are on the same page, except I don’t have a direct line to God and his thoughts, Adlib » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:46 am Adlib National Debt increase by president in constant dollars. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:44 am KQ » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:40 am You are right there. I see it the same way that you do. One thing though, President Obama needs to get tough. He needs to stand up and be counted and get rid of Geitner(LOL) I can live with Rahm, but not Geitner. It is a little known fact that Geitner’s father and Obama’s mother worked together in the macro economics field for countries like Indonesia at the Ford Foundation………………..that makes me nervous. “While at the Ford Foundation, Dunham worked with Peter Geithner, father of Tim Geithner (who later became United States Secretary of the Treasury in her son’s administration), to develop the Foundation’s microfinance programs in Indonesia” » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:34 am This president is doing as well as could be expected with the hand he was dealt. IMHO the TeaBaggers just proved they have no agenda other than to vote republican. They can talk all day long about third party candidates but until they put their vote where their mouth is, they will remain an unbelievable fringe organization. They were put together to hurt Obama and quite frankly, most dems are letting them get away with it. There was no big showing of Indies or Dems in the healthcare debate. If there was, the media, including MSNBC, totally ignored it. Until Dems start making noise, we will continue to be ignored. Indies will not be ignored because they have the power to move elections from one side to the other, teabaggers are known for their ignorance and they provide comic relief, Dems are known for their willingness to just sit back and let it happen. » Posted By SueInCa On January 20, 2010 @ 10:17 am Matt Taibbi Calls Out David Brooks Great catch there Boomer. I have not seen alot of comment by republicans in general on this tragedy, but maybe I am looking in the wrong places. » Posted By SueInCa On January 19, 2010 @ 12:13 pm What Martin Luther King Jr. Day means to me “Passing” was a way to get ahead in those days, but the price you had to pay could be quite high. Remember the movie Imitation of Life? I saw that movie when I was in the 8th grade. It was about a girl who found she could pass for white so she did and in the process lost her mama. You cannot change your heritage, but you can change that backward way of thinking. » Posted By SueInCa On January 18, 2010 @ 3:40 pm Pepe Funny, two of my sisters married african american men, I married a hispanic, one brother is with a jewish woman and my other brother married a japanese girl. Once the grandchildren started coming, and even before that, my dad changed his tune. So I guess it is possible. He became very close with my husband as well as all the other in-laws. Maybe being away from the south all those years softened him, I hope in the end he just learned the error of his southern thinking. » Posted By SueInCa On January 18, 2010 @ 3:27 pm Just think how San Diego feels. They choked again yesterday » Posted By SueInCa On January 18, 2010 @ 3:53 pm ChoiceLady He has since changed his allegiance to the Giants. He, my brothers and I are very familiar with, “just wait until next year”. » Posted By SueInCa On January 18, 2010 @ 3:52 pm Perfect! » Posted By SueInCa On January 15, 2010 @ 10:45 am Wonderful blog and a perfect way to respond to Robertson. Only one question, what is being done with the blowhard Rushbo? » Posted By SueInCa On January 15, 2010 @ 10:35 am I would have thought he would be drooling. I will watch at the 4 slot out here. » Posted By SueInCa On January 14, 2010 @ 3:24 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
I don’t really think I have to tell you what to do. I think in your heart you know the right thing to do. I recently severed ties with a friend for the same reasons. She claims to be a dem and was so enthusiastic about voting for Obama I really believed her. In the end, she was playing a game. She was using me to sharpen her arguments against the president. I realized this and told her I had lost all respect for her as a human being. She just laughed like I was over reacting. It was then I knew she was really just a plain old angry person and I could not help her. And you know what? I don’t miss her negativity either.
Here are some of the more costly accomplishments for the Shrub

8) Cutting the taxes on himself and his rich friends
9) Breaking the law by giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton to build nonusable buildings in Iraq.
10) Took 977 vacation days while POTUS.
11) Allowing CIA doctors to experiment on prisoners
12) KATRINA
13) PATRIOT ACT = TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE NINE ELEVEN ATTACK
Under Carter: 42%
Under Reagan: 189%
Bush Act 1: 55.6%
Clinton: 36%
Bush Act 2: 89%
I saw on either CNN or MSNBC where the dems put a line in the budget regarding healthcare that would make the measure eligible for a reconcilliation vote. I cannot remember exactly what the line item was, but supposedly it is in there.
Very powerful essay. I knew my dad was predjudiced when I was growing up, not nearly to the extent you experienced, but I learned it in a more subtle way. I remember meeting a girl in 7th grade, Phyllis, and we hit it off real well. She asked me if I would ever want to spend the night at her house and I said sure. I mentioned it to my dad, not mentioning her color, but telling him she lived in Parchester Village. I had no idea what Parchester Village was, in fact I thought it was probably a housing development similar to mine but probably had “village type” homes as opposed to our more modern home. I was surprised when he said there was no way I was going to Parchester Village, but he would not elaborate. I told my brother about it because I was puzzled and my brother told me it was a predominately african american community. And I thought it was a housing development with village style homes. I learned that day that my dad was prejudiced, not in the overt way your father was, but prejudice just the same. I had not grown up for the most part in an interracial area and I just never thought twice about Phyllis, my friend, being of a different color. I still do not. she was my friend. So my dad did us a favor by keeping his rascist thoughts to himself in a way, even though it was a bit dishonest.
I know your pain, I have been a SF Giants fan since my first game way back in the 5th grade. When I met my husband, he asked if I wanted to go to a baseball game. We were driving and I realized we were driving past the bay bridge. I asked him how we were going to get to Candlestick? He said we’re going to the A’s game. I just looked at him and said, that’s not baseball LOL
