He's handling it well? Good for him, she's a better woman than me. I'd have him handling it from a new address.

Funny stuff...FUNNY in a way.....he left because of an affair that the government knew about but didn't fire him, then they readily accepted his resignation (MONTHS after they knew), and today's news is suggesting he may be reappointed.

Don't you just wonder but it does sound like a plan.

Yeah, I'm always wondering about funny stuff, especially when I don't get it. Today I don't get what Holly Petreus' job has to do with Dodd-Frank. Anyone?

A very interesting thread. It showed there are differing opinions here in The Villages regardless of the subject. Even when cautioned about keeping it non-political, a few could not help themselves, that shows we are all human. Thank you Gracie for coming up with the thread. I enjoyed reading everyone's input to the subject.

Many excellent opinions were shared on this issue, The Villages has a wealth of experience and education, which makes the subject of this thread intriguing, and proves once again The Villages is America's premier home town.

I believe it is time for the country to move on and hopefully we continue to learn from our history and the nation becomes stronger from the lessons learned. I hope everyone is enjoying a great Thanksgiving Holiday with your families and friends.

Just a short note to comment on your "move on" comment.

Not sure what you mean, but just need to clarify...yep, you are correct, move on is exactly what we should do, HOWEVER I sincerely hope you didnt mean..just shut up and take it (whatever the issue and to whomever it is addressed). We do not elect dictators with in the WH or the House or Senate, and hopefully your comment was not mean to stifle disussion or disagreement on direction.

I couldn't agree with you more.

That assumes one believes in God, or, as your post suggests, YOUR God. In a country that was founded on religious freedom, it is also each and every person's fundamental right to NOT practice religion.

Most wars are fought with the "my God is better than your God" doctrine as its basis.

On a personal note, I choose to keep my own beliefs private.
