1. Blue/Strongly Approve. Here's the deal: Whenever I'm hollering for his head,
furious at an action or inaction, many times looking back after the fact I'm in awe of what he actually WAS doing and DID accomplish. I am reminded time and time again that he's doing a lot that I'm not privy to (imagine that).

I'm still mad about some things and disappointed in others, but maybe those are works in progress, too. We'll see. Ask again in 2012.

8. Miss our Biden days.....
Loved that group. He is a dear Man, what can I say. But, do love Obama, best we have going for us.

The wellness thing is a mystery now that I am looking at year 72 this month. Hey, that makes me eligible to get to talk radical and get by with it. Those damn cigs are killing me tho.....haha, oh, and today I am working on my 4th beer, it's a wonder I am coherent. Some days politics really gets me haired up and this is one of them.

10. Yeah, those were the days! :-)
I'm so happy for Joe. It's not easy for him to not be the boss, but he's worked hard on it is doing great. I'm happy he's using his intelligence and experience in so many areas, and he's interacting with people a lot more and I think he loves that!

You obviously feel well enough to smoke and quaff a few brews, so that's encouraging! Please come by more often - and/or PM me!

3. Can you imagine trying to talk to a tea party type?
Obama must buck the entire repub party plus those tea party types. Living here in Okla. is scary. The logic I hear from those around me that I know vote R is more than my simple brain can compete with. I asked them why we are losing business among the hospitals/doctors and lawyers and they blame Obama??!! Sheesh, are they blaming him for "Obamacare" already? Ignorance all around. No job equals no health insurance and some have nothing to lose and can't afford an atty. or need one since they have lost home, car, etc..

If you don't have a job you can't afford health care or an attorney. What part of that don't they understand. These are examples I am a bit familiar with. Retail? They don't get it. Some say the people need to vote down all the incumbents. Laughable. Not in Okla.. They would vote in another Repub..

But an awful lot this country is not like CT. And we voted in Lieberman too, so (I voted for Lamont though, I swear!).
