It's so refreshing (still) to have an intelligent President...
Was just thinking as I listen to the President talking to Chuckie Tawd on MSNBC (I am trying mightily to wean myself from them as I have the rest of the msm snooze) how nice it still is to have a President that can actually formulate a thought and then speak it intelligibly and articulately. A marked improvement over the monkeyshines of the previous two terms.

1. Agreed
and how much better the whole planet seems-no more calling millions of people in 3 different countries "evil". I looked back a lot over this past nightmare we just woke up from and remember saying how much I missed the 90's. How much better the world was, the music, the culture and just life in general. Man I hope we've learned our hard lessons of what life is like under republican rule.

7. And use an adverb to modify a verb.
"Stupidly" was an adverb modifying the verb "acted," describing one stupid action. ("I stupidly locked my keys inside the car this morning.")

"Stupid" is an adjective, which would be used to modify a noun. Obama didn't call anybody stupid. ("I am not stupid enough to watch Fox.")

I heard a language expert on Iowa Public Radio this morning make a total hash of trying to explain this.

I didn't realize until this morning that some people actually believed Obama had called Crowley stupid. Seems to me, sharing a common language is intrinsic to a civilization, and we seem to be coming up short in the communications end of things.

3. Shit-for-Brains had dozens of websites ...



dedicated exclusively to his constant gaffes, malaprops and other Faux pas.

I don't look for that to happen again for at least eight more years.

4. Why are people unrec'ing this?
I don't get the thought process of people some times. What about this topic makes people say "Well, I certainly don't agree with THAT!!!"

Forgive my non sequitur, it's just flat out confusing sometimes...
