It's hard to believe we lost our President 49 years ago today, and I can't help thinking how different things would be had he been able to finish even his first term.




OFFICIAL WHITEHOUSE PORTRAIT

Those dirty, sadistic, immoral, stinking, lying, cheating, hypocritical bastards steal Ohio??? My goodness, what an unfair question!!

I think that his clumsy, arrogant, and devious behavior of the past few months speaks far louder than last night's carefully-scripted debate debacle. No, I am by no means complacent, because I can spot a phony a mile away, and when certain (gullible) people start following him like sheep to the slaughter, I become deeply concerned. My hope is that the undecideds will wake up--before it's too late--to the certain calamity that would result should he win.

You will not find any over-confident posts from me. I will believe Obama has won once he takes the oath of office a second time, and not before.

As for Nitt, I am reminded of the Shakespeare quote:
'It is a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.'

She was a knock-out in her shimmering black dress. Witty and sharp, she and DL jousted back and forth good-naturedly--it was a riot. She's regal but relaxed, feminine but can hold her own with anyone, an egghead (she and the President both) who can giggle over DL's wisecracks like we all do, an angel with her feet planted firmly on the ground. Small wonder hubby is madly in love with her! We all are. And, as with the President, watching and listening to her is a huge treat. Best of all, knowing she's our First Lady makes me very proud. They have, and continue to, represent us impeccably well. It's a pity that Mr. Racist is unable to open his eyes and embrace the First Couple because they are truly extraordinary people.

As a local GOP official after President Obamas election, I had a front-row seat as it became infected by a dangerous and virulent form of political rabies.
In the grip of this contagion, the Republican Party has come unhinged. Its fevered hallucinations involve threats from imaginary communists and socialists who, seemingly, lurk around every corner..."

I think politics has degenerated into such a cesspool that some people have (mistakenly?) equated Obama's civility with weakness and his thoughtfulness (as in 'thinking things through rationally') with spinelessness. In my eyes, the President has more brains, character & integrity in his little finger than all the conservatives combined. He has always taken the high road and he always will because that's who he is. That's something conservatives will never understand.

Republicans have devolved into being as selfish as possible. Their whole thought process seems to be centered on the assumption that if it is good for other people, it has to be bad for them. There is no real ideology behind their actions. Selfishness has become their ideology. They are a collective group of toddlers pointing at everything and screaming mine, mine, mine at the top of their lungs. They have devolved from mature conservative thought to the miseducated adolescent homeschoolers that they are at heart.

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and
the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.

I don't mean to make light of it-- not at all. But such "people" don't even deserve a response.
They're toxic and to pay attention to their hateful diatribes tells them they're getting a reaction.
The best reaction is to ignore them. IMO.

They're so toxic and so despicable and full of hate that they're blowing it big-time. They've clearly shown themselves to be a rabid pack of hyenas all along. I think they're headed in the direction of
Truly. They can't get away with this. The only people who condone this behavior are just as sick and pathetic as they. And it's good to know that our President handled this atrocious conduct with grace and an innate dignity, as always, leaving the seething repukes with rotten egg on their faces!!

Note: This occurred last year.



"Next month the Broward County Police Benevolent Association is holding a "Party to Leave the Party" -- an event coordinated with the Supervisor of Elections where police officers and the general public can switch their voter registrations from Republican to Democratic or Independent."
