Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments The Country We Believe In–Transcript As a first generation naturalized citizen, boot strapped kind of person, I can’t tell you how very much I admire this President. I admire his ethics, his efforts, his wisdom and perspective and his humor. I wish he could do more and do it faster, but I respect his judgment knowing that far more goes on behind the scenes than we will ever know. He does nothing to make me distrust him and I have never said that about any politician. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 9:10 pm empi says: I love him tool I’ve kicked the can down the road for quite a few years but this is the best man I’ve seen ever. Period. I can’t quite understand that everyone doesn’t feel the same. I’m going to step down now because soap boxes are slippery (only because I would over reach in my joy at this speech) » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 9:03 pm WATCH LIVE: Pres. Obama Speaks On Fiscal Policy – 10:35 am PDT Ad Lib; sorry, I hate misspelling names. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 8:01 pm AdLib, I don’t know if you, or anyone here remembers, but when I was young, the mosquito spray trucks would come by at night and spray who know what–DDT?–. Some kids-my husband for one, followed behind these trucks thinking they were really cool. It strikes me that a lot of people are following news in a similarly toxic way. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 7:59 pm Cher, I think it will embolden our democratic Congress as well. Obama said (I shouldn’t even attempt to paraphrase but…) he is not President of the Democrats but President of all of us. I don’t know that anyone else has said that and it makes “give and take” a little less offensive. The WI, MI, OH—gives me goose bumps. The Pres of Firefighters Union and the Police unions will be out in these and other states where ever a recall is happening. And this: » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 2:53 pm funksands: trouble is I can’t even do emoticons yet, but as soon as I can I will. 😉 ( it’s all I’ve got) » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 2:12 pm The anti-trolls are no less vicious, most being reduced to one sentence insults. Hurling (in both senses) word bombs 😉 » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 2:05 pm AdLib; and trying to figure out some new way to spell words like secret anti-mod code. Hysterical. Your descriptions ared just what it felt like, getting worked up into a frenzy to fight the other frenzied. They’ll need more than a Detox Center soon: a blotter might serve better! » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 2:00 pm foxisms—blush….. 😉 We had 3 dogs, 2 cats, a frog and a river turtle, two kids and a home business. I always said all we needed was a bird to have a — “foodchain”. Good days » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:45 pm KQuark: I didn’t know Kevenseven but Hume—I felt so honored to be there when his friends set up the Tribute section. A much better time. And congratulations on making it to a right wing watch site with them! Ha! » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:41 pm escribacat — you can’t make it up. But look how many like him. Warrior talk hasn’t helped anyone. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:20 pm Abbyrose: for me, these strongly idealistic opinions helped feed past successes and I understand their disappointment. My frustration is the holding hostage of a vote, the threats of abandoning Obama in order to do what? Show him what? Show us what? I just keep looking for words that can make sense to them so they stay in the game. And I can’t find those words. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:19 pm Cher, thanks. Two very different canvases. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:12 pm Re Kucinich: He freaked over breaking a tooth on an olive pit in his cafeteria meal, but probably won’t sue. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:11 pm escribacat, I know. It kind of fits with the “Emerald Curtain” idea of using people for personal gain. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 1:07 pm Dear Everyone, My name is Foodchain and I’m a recovering HP non pundit. I came here when someone identified this site as the place where many had fled. I did not introduced myself because my name is still the same and it seemed presumptuous. Today, with the President’s speech, I realize that there are disagreements here about the President’s process–POV. However, at HP, the clever, hostile, quipping that so frequently raised itself to name calling, encouraged me to step into a fray I now wish I had the discipline to have avoided. So as an introduction, I would like to apologize for any comments to anyone who might have been at HP in which I should have shown a more agreeable way of disagreeing. I have thoroughly enjoyed the commentary here, the articles and the commitment to excellence. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 12:50 pm AdLib, thank you for saying this. It is awkward when people in “your family” get so angry at someone I admire. I think back to dinner table discussions of old when sides were taken on sensitive issues. I’ve learned from those years and seeing others that purely ideological goals are something to strive for but never a line in the sand, or a dare, or a threat. It demeans the concept if hate comes from any idealism. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 12:29 pm PatsyT: Millionaires like to volunteer serving soup–it makes them feel good.. We have a few in our town; they’re happier giving to the church than to our government. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:38 am PatsyT: agreed. My mom did what the doctor told her to do. She would never think of questioning him, ever. Further, tests bring in a lot of revenue but can be administered by lower paid assistants. Seniors are vulnerable to “following Doctor’s orders.” » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:31 am Hey Chase—good to see you. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:27 am Cher, I agree and I am happy!! Only the GOP far right scrambling for damage control over “tax cuts are a non starter.” » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:25 am Exactly!! My 84 year old mother with sever macular degeneration and retinal disease had lost most of her sight but her eye doctor had her in every month for expensive tests to “monitor” her sight. Her sight would never get better and could barely get worse. He raked in $$, opened a larger office. A simple example of “advice by doctors and consent by patients” who believe doctors have only their best interests in mind. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:22 am My glimpse into that was a review of “benefits” to health care providers, not to recipients. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 11:16 am Admin: Thanks for setting this up. I couldn’t bear watching it with Wall Street and DC “pundits” assisting with their agendas. » Posted By foodchain On April 13, 2011 @ 10:24 am Friday Music Thread – Suffragette City Thanks » Posted By foodchain On April 8, 2011 @ 8:13 pm Fosxisms God, I ‘ve got a pic of me and my daughter every year doing just that, until she ended up on her own without mom’s help. Sniff » Posted By foodchain On April 8, 2011 @ 8:10 pm I need the tutorial on putting the photo link but here is Luciano Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman. Thank you Kilgore for bringing me back or forward or here.
» Posted By foodchain On April 8, 2011 @ 7:31 pm Kilgore, She always takes the edge off. Smooth. » Posted By foodchain On April 8, 2011 @ 6:56 pm I like that phrasing. it seems less polarizing. » Posted By foodchain On April 8, 2011 @ 2:35 pm Friday Music Thread— April Fool. Oh, huge smiles. Wonderful » Posted By foodchain On April 1, 2011 @ 7:27 pmComments Posted By foodchain
