Sometimes I feel like a snow owl. This winter weather gives me an inner chill like we feel along our spines when a soothing voice sings How Great Thou Art.
There are many good points here made by you. An individual who truly understands his/her own view, might admit that? These back and forth squabbles didn't start until I made the mistake of saying that 3-1 thing. I know you agreed with it and I would have too but went ahead and proved I WAS WRONG myself. As BigB/BigD/Nig/Ned/HiR and others correctly pointed out:::It was a flawed comment in spit of my misquoting the facts in part. I think if Big Brother served the public honorably and not the system, he should be proud of that service. You were right though regarding the administrative:::and to me even more important::: aspects of scandal and criminality. My father never said what I repeated. It was well before Obama came onto the scene, and he corrected what I thought I recalled he said. I was wrong in, and what was quoted in the first place. Like I have said repeatedly, the fact that the republicans have given America the most criminal administrations is unfortunate, but the democrats have ruled congress more corruptly. The latter doesn't actually run this country, there's this moniker called "the most Powerful Man In the World" The president of the United States and his cabinet, and that makes this whole argument a credit to your assessment. It wasn't unreasonable for those who knew it:::my 3-1 thing was off, to call me on it.
You are right though with how much of it got out of hand, especially after I had to admit what a flawed comment it really was, but got no credit for my efforts to prove I was wrong. The name calling ran across the fences like wild-fire and I too partook, because no matter how much crow one openly eats, they seemed to just get worse, like some oceanic feeding frenzy. I have not been apologized to, in spite of my admissions and find that unfair by now. I was far from the only bad girl, or::: alone there.
Unless one considers my repeated disdain for GWBush. Again, not because of party per se', just a very bad so called "conservative" politician who rode, with good reason, next to the lowest approval horsey in our history. Nixon. The sadness arises when one realizes that, as you put it, the worst of the worst admins. or such, were the republicans and in the last 50 years no less. Like my father said, three to one, and he was right originally. The depth of that corruption actually staggers the imagination.
Now Obama is a newbie and the majority of America had spoken little more than a year ago, in spite of those of us who felt he didn't deserve to win. At this point outside of some:::seemingly common scandal:::stumbles, he isn't yet shown to be a criminal and hasn't been proved to a foreigner. He has under three years left to either show he's a fine president or a silver tongued booger eater too. I hope he doesn't like hardened mucus
. And to me, ANYONE who stumps for utter failure that might certainly pummel this nation into depression::: hates America. Besides, even I had to be reminded that GW Bush said himself::: that the 852 billion bailout he signed was necessary for those TOO BIG TO FAIL banks and brokers. Wall Street, not main street, got every penny of that 852 billion without the slightest bit of oversight. Congress failed us too. Let's not forget that. Never. Especially when the word SOCIALISM rears it's ugly head.
Regarding my usage of the very recent "past"?
To me, it's not hard to forget that one got repeatedly kicked, clubbed, and punched in the face. But the missing teeth, broken ribs and black and blue eyes, easily help one remember how and who did it. That Happened to our COUNTRY and it wasn't this president's signatures that did it. So in trying to heal these wounds, why are we so willing to forget how we got them while continually hoping for more? If this administration doesn't start to push for and pass legislation to actually heal this nation, Jobs, no more corporate handouts and open tax-free borders, instead of lighting a needed, but not right now health care fuse, then I'll be right there with my vote to give another a shot in 2012. I know our health care system is grossly out of control, but unless we are working again, who can afford it no matter how they design a new system? Jobs! Mr. President, Jobs! memebers of congress.
