Go figure.<br /><br />As for political correctness, my grandson and another boy, both in 1st grade at the time, were admonished for playing cowboys and indians, and using their fingers as firing guns at each other. <br /><br />This involved two no-nos. First, no guns, even if there are no guns.<br /><br />Secondly, Indians? Horrors! It's Native Americans, dontcha know. These boys were six years old. <br /><br />Oh, I'm happy to say, both kids were skinny little rascals. <br /><br /><br />How we survived our childhoods must have miraculous overtones, don't you think?<br /><br />PrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-74419950664666038842010-01-28T13:48:27.363-08:002010-01-28T13:48:27.363-08:00WOW...great comments.

Childhood obesity may well be a serious problem, but isn't that the job of the parent to teach their kids about eating well — not the government. Taking on that issue, where do you draw the line and limit the intrusion? And, IMO, that's fundamentally what divides not only America, but every other country — the destruction of the boundaries of personal responsibility and the power of the state.<br /><br />Somehow, I just can't imagine that harridan demanding others eat their veggies and plant a garden, like I did, and not even considering that she's crossing boundaries that should be respected.<br /><br />And he did have the chutzpah to blame the current problems on what happened before he got there.<br /><br />WaylonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-41237671815431705602010-01-28T08:22:33.838-08:002010-01-28T08:22:33.838-08:00"And yes, the biggest problem in the speech w...<b>"And yes, the biggest problem in the speech was for a president to insult the Supreme Court and question its decision and its authority."</b><br /><br />All the while insinuating a legislative correction to "right this wrong".<br /><br />WOW.

Smacking her lips, eyes popping out...scratching her nose; i started to wonder if she even realized she was in such a public seat. <br /><br />Soapbox, good point about Moore or Maher and books...definitely true, but that's beginning so commonplace, that hypocrisy and double standard.<br />And yes, the biggest problem in the speech was for a president to insult the Supreme Court and question its decision and its authority.<br /><br />And, of course, instead of the horrid thing OBAMA DID, the media's focused on Alito reacting. Odd that the cameras were ready and on him, though I suppose they're everywhere, lurking for THE STORY! Best to please the media, not have dignity and decorum, the media's GOT to get their big story ..<br /><br />it was a sad thing because it gave Obama's people a place to hide his mistake...: BLAME ALITO!<br />Also, I felt badly because you've all noticed that Alito's got a neck problem; you could see it in his hearings and swearing in...he's got a kind of palsy or something, I THINK?...and this was probably in play last night.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-12167640299724296332010-01-28T07:59:02.494-08:002010-01-28T07:59:02.494-08:00My facebook was busy last night! As I was watching...My facebook was busy last night! As I was watching and hearing things that ticked me off I commented as did my friends and we wound up with nearly 60 posts by the end of the speech. <br /><br />I was annoyed that Michelle Obama will be taking on childhood obesity. So much for her work with military families eh? BTW how's that work going? <br /><br />The issue with the Supreme Court. The Harvard Law Professor doesn't really care for separation of powers does he? <br /><br />The jobs bill. When he said government could put into action things that would make it easier I was like, really how's it going so far?<br /><br />The high speed train from Orlando to Tampa. Big 8 billion waste of taxpayer dollars that's going to be manufactured by a Japanese company. It's a loss leader, it will never make money and it's going to wind up a government subsidy just like AMTRAK.<br /><br />The so-called "jobs" bill passed 217-212, but when the time on the clock expired, it was losing 208-212. A few minutes later, when it hit 214-213 and then 215-213, someone shouted "gavel it!" from the Democratic side. A bill doesn't need the full 218 to pass -- only a simple majority of those voting. The presiding officer took the suggestion and closed the vote.<br /><br />Universities and Colleges need to cut costs. Perhaps the Harvard Law Professor should make a visit or two to campuses around the nation. WE ARE CUTTING COSTS and we are hardly making it. We are doing MORE with LESS. Bigger classes, more graduate students teaching because we can't hire faculty, we can't fund research assistants because there's not enough money, we can't build more classrooms to accomodate all the people Obama told should go to school because "everyone deserves an education". There's a very high stress rate at colleges and universities because we're doing more with less. I can't believe he wants us to cut MORE. <br /><br />The way he managed to slip the former administration into his speech.<br /><br />The list goes on and on! (PUKE!!)

FEC.<br /><br />It not only showed clear evidence of his persisence towards empathy and activism when it comes to judicial appointments, it was also clearly evident that the president either didn't understand the case and the subsequent opinion or he flat out chose to ignore it in his want for a talking point to greater America who also didn't understand the case or the opinion.<br /><br />The financial contribution portion of campaign finance still stands. What the SCOTUS merely held, and rightly so I should add, is that a for or non-profit corporation or entity, under the First Amendment, should not be precluded from excercising their free speech rights (be it in a movie, an advertisement, etc.)<br /><br />Why under the previous provisions would it be acceptable for say Michael Moore or Bill Maher or whomever to author a book 6 months before an election citing 1,000 reasons NOT to election George Bush in 2004 permitted by the FEC rules but somehow a non-profit or even for-profit corporation's desire to make a short movie or run an advertisement doing essentially the same somehow not??Name: Soapboxgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894163990538183457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-17736581551745537002010-01-28T05:39:16.525-08:002010-01-28T05:39:16.525-08:00Oh, and have you read the Harry Reid yawned during...Oh, and have you read the Harry Reid yawned during the speech?

That kind of fussing is typical Dem whining. I do think that BHO planned to fuss more but was curtailed by his advisors -- one of those Washington whispers.<br /><br />The speech was being revised nearly up to the last minute.<br /><br />One final comment about the speech: It was too long!

What a sacrifice!!!<br /><br /> About the freeze. At first blush you might think, wow that's great. Not so fast. <br /><br />The EPA budget has been raised by 35%. The Dept. of ED. raised by 30%. A huge amout of money. <br /><br />I'm sure other depts probably have been raised too, but these two are the ones I know about. Of course this doesn't even count the cost of a healthcare program should he be successful at that, and God knows what else is on the drawing board.<br /><br />A freeze is not rolling back spending that's already taken place. Or using the balance of the stimulus money to pay down the debt. Heck, it's only half a trillion dollars, and he has a country to destroy. We're in the trillions of debt, and deficit.<br /><br />Indeed, I notice he gives himself another year to raise spending more, before he freezes spending at historically high levels in 2011. <br /><br />How clever, and who would notice that huh? We stupid citizens are so dense. Yep, we're so dumb the word freeze, should do it.<br /><br />So, no I didn't see the speech.
