"The way you see it" is way wrong Angie. Obama racked up more debt in one year than Bush did in 5 years. Numbers.......the bane of the leftist.

If you keep saying that he has done nothing then why will it take years for your boys to erase his agenda and many years and many bill reversals?

The US is teetering on the brink of economic disaster. Oh yes, President Obama has done a whole lot.

To your point Barefoot...

I remember when Mr. Bush was leaving office.... Corporations were on the edge of closing... People were being laid off and losing their homes... Building and construction had stopped...

In my office, we had no work and were waiting to see if GM would get a bail out as it would affect us as well as most other corporations in the US if they went under. I know people didn't like the bail outs. I don't think they realized how many people would have lost their jobs had it NOT happened.

Scary times.

I haven't felt like that since Obama got into office.... Oh wait... Until the Debt Ceiling Debacle. The stock market is going down.... We are losing work and there may be lay offs.... My husband said his company who was going great guns said they are losing orders and may haveto start laying off.

Back to O'Donnell ... I find her absolutely fascinating, and not in a good way.
Her interview with Piers Morgan was classic O'Donnell. She has an uncanny ability to spin and twist everything that happens to her. I think she actually believes her own spin! Scary lady.

Barefoot, you are 100% correct. I think it would be hilarious if no one showed up Tuesday at Barnes & Noble to buy her book.

May I ask a serious question? I have been very busy lately and I haven't followed the news like I normally do. Why are we discussing Christine O'Donnell in political? Is she running for office again? Is there something I've missed?

She wrote a book. Agreed to be interviewed by the dreadful (IMHO) Piers Morgan on his show to promote the book, and all he wanted to talk about were her views on sex; especially masturbation. She tried to steer the conversation off his sex obsessed questions; he got snarky; she walked off. End of story. She's going to be signing books at B & N in TV.

And that is political? Seems more suited to Talk About Books. Just MHO. Oh, and thank you Richie for answering.

I don't even know her but after reading some posts here, I hope she sells a million books.:thumbup:

OK, it's time for more bashing of Republican women. Let's have at it.

Generally "Republican Women" should not be bashed. However for some of them it is well earned. In fact some of them are an insult to the many very competent and informed female Republican politicians, but the right wingers like Michelle Bachman and Christine O'Donnell champion the adage of if the shoe fits then wear it. Dumb and Dumber are coming to The Villages, surprise surprise

Why do you call them dumb, because you don't like their politics? I do not like Barack Hussein Obama's politics but I would not call him dumb. He knows what he is doing by destroying the USA within.

"Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism.
I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:..."

OMG....What the heck is wrong with learning and admitting from your life experience that you were wrong on a particular stance????

And if somebody realizes they were wrong about a stance, why would you not want them to be authentic and admit that publicly?? Do you prefer that Megyn Kelly hide the fact that she learned by life experience--not in law school--that a new mother needs time to heal and bond, and time to get thru the months (not weeks) of sleep deprivation????

A lot of us happen to respect people who are mature enough to admit we were wrong previously!!

And by the way, those of us who have given birth now look back and sometimes say to ourselves, "OMG......I actually thought I knew everything there was to know about parenting and child care, before I had kids. Looking back, I didn't know ANYTHING!!"

Honest people admit they were brought to their knees by new motherhood, and that surviving the relentless 24/7 work at home as a new mother is when you truly "get your degrees".

Except she never came out and said "I've changed my opinion". She hasn't exactly gone out of her way to try and talk other conservatives over to her new side. In fact, she makes no mention of her former stance at all when defending maternity leave. At no point does she even admit that she used to have a stance contrary to her current one. It's like a MILD form of 1984 Newspeak.

If Megan came out and said those thing, I *would* respect her. If she DOES feel that way (that she should say something) I can understand one reason why she wouldn't - she'd then be a "flip-flopper" in the eyes of many. Heck, look at the way they treat Romney.

Yes, it is 2011 and so many people have a problem with woman leaders, and the sad part is alot of them that have the problem are so-called women and insecure men.
