Romney praises space program, promises to launch mission study
The Week That Was;
Let's see...
President Obama delivered a touch down with his SOTU speech, which was immediately followed by Mitch Daniels who is about as exciting as watching paint dry!
We were subjected to GNOP debate #356 & #357 - which NONE of them have been about what their plans are for the country, unless of course colonizing the moon is top of the list of priorities!
You have the TWO front runners screaming at each other over who is the wealthiest!
Then there was Jan Brewer wagging her wrinkled finger in the face of the President while her Democratic counter-part Gaby Giffords warmly hugged OUR Commander in Chief!
Yup! That about sums up the right wing freak show these days...
Did I miss anything?
*popcorn*?
Lol Fiesty! Priceless when they argued over who was invested in Freddie and Fannie....turns out they both are! Too funny!
Obama's Week That Was:
Monday January 23 2012
10:30 AM - Obama gets into the office and receives the PDB
1:40 PM - Obama welcomes Stanley Cup Champs Boston Bruins
Tuesday January 24 2012
9:00 PM - Obama delivered the SOTU Address
Wednesday January 25 2012
9:50 AM - Obama leaves for tax payer paid campaign trip
Thursday January 26 2012
1:00 PM - Obama begins day / campaign day - gives campaign speech
Friday January 27 2012
9:45 AM - Obama begins day / campaign day - gives campaign speech
Check official schedule for campaign details and travel times. (President's Daily Schedule)
Bottom line - Obama's only official business scheduled for the week was ...
1 Presidential Daily Briefing on Monday, greeting the Bruins after lunch and the STOU speech on Tuesday night.
So many millions suffering, the most long term unemployed, most on food stamps in history, greatest loss of home equity in history / losing their homes, most Americans living at the poverty level in history ...... and that's it ....
THAT IS OBAMA'S WEEK THAT WAS?
DCIA,
While shouting President Obama is the 'food stamp President'...
You really can NOT make this sh!t up!
Hey bob--you forgot the part about where the President, in his role as Commander-in-Chief, ordered Navy Seals to rescue hostages in Somalia. Then you forgot the part where his first action after a wildly successful SOTU speech was to notify the father of the rescued hostage.
Hey "Romulian Romney!" Have you filled the Florida voters in yet on your "Bain Capital Philosophy" on home mortgages?? Did you tell the good people of Florida on how you want to economically make them all renters?? The "Romulian" is truely the "Speculator and Chief" of the GOP/RNC! As a well "Bain Trained" CEO. The Romulian know how to let the free market ride, and just let all home owners go into foreclosure or bankruptcy. The "Romulian" also invested in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Did the "Romulian" mention that little "Financial Fact" yet America! The "Romulian" is all for the "Richie Rich Ryan Plan," and he loves the House vote to destroy Social Security. As for any type of tax reform America?? The "Romulian" loves the US Tax Codes right where they are. Why would he want to change a good tax thing America??
Let's all go to the moon.
You will need a Canadian visa. Most places cold and often in the dark are ours.
Wait, I've got this one - Jonathan King, 1965:

[Let's all go to the moon.]
Wait...Spanky needs to call Noot to tell him that we're too broke to have a "moon base".
Aw, look. Poor Mickey, try as she might, just cannot seem to squeeze out a comment without a Spanky shout out.
True devotion.
I'm touched.
You have a good weekend Mickey. :)
JoAnne, how I have always loved that song; it is one of my all time favorites. Thanx for the reminder. I'm going to go listen to it.
[Aw, look. Poor Mickey, try as she might...]
Shhhh...Spanky's huntin' Mickeys...
...heheheheheheheh.....
Listen junior, you're starting to creep me out...but if you're so infatuated with my gender...well, who am I to break the bad news to you...but if you can't tell the difference between "boys and girls", check with your wife...she'll explain everything to you.
As far as my weekend goes, you don't really want to know, do you? You would have to take me off "ignore"...but then again, you never did find that button, now did you...
By the way, have you heard how much Noots "moonbase" will cost?
Stellar Spanky...just. stellar.
Hi Mickey! How ya' been, honey? It's been a rough couple of weeks with all the re-regs and suspension reports, I can barely keep up with all of it! I hear they're hauling in some nice sized perch up in Michigan though, so I may have to go ice fishing real soon. Waiting for thicker ice or I may have to head up to the river for a day trip. I'm all set to start planting seeds indoors for some of those long germination period crops and some of my Hosta crosses look promising this time. xxoo Cynbad
rambo you are ready for a trip to the moon with that helment hair
Hiya Cyn...I've been great dollface...how about you? Not too much fishing by me...NO ICE! I'd have to go to the 'Daks to ice fish. At this point, I may as well wait till spring. It's been real warm here, so other outdoor activities are a bit more tolerable. Been training for the Leadville 100 but undecided whether to do the trail run or mountain bike, or to do it at all...it'll be a lst minute decision for me. There are a couple of 50 milers that I'd like to do, and they are FAR easier on the body than the 100's. As the saying goes, I'm getting too old for this @!$%#...lol.
So, you've had a rough couple of weeks, eh? Well, when you run short of persuits, I have some promising leads.
I usually start seedlings in April for May plantings. Due to all the wet weather we had around here the CSA didn't do too well last year, so I returned a portion of the fee. Most participants just gave it back, though, as a donation towards the local food bank. Not sure if I'll cut back on the acreage this year...I'll have to pick some of the old farmers' brains around here and get the lowdown on the weather for the upcoming season.
Save me some perch, will ya? ;)
Have fun huntin' those rereggies...but be vewy vewy carefew...they are wascally wittle wabbits...
...heheheheheheheh....
cyn just place the rereg and suspense reports in file 13, more time for fishing then
Buck Naked Sr,
Since you are a rereg you would love for Cynthia to stop the search and termination of people that violate the “user agreement” that you agreed to as a condition of their membership.
Poor little penguinboy is sniveling again... eh?
Dennis, lighten up it was meant as a joke
That's alright, Nuck Baked, Sr, I get it, I really do . I have bigger fish to fry. ;-)
President Obama is slowly changing the entire status quo, one decades old disaster at a time. There is something in the air and I believe it is called progress. He is unlike any president we have ever had. He's strong, he's determined and he's not a quitter. And he trusts his own instincts, which is vitally important.
It's exciting watching him, it's exciting listening to him and it's exciting watching the young faces in the crowds as he enters a room.
He has without a doubt raised the bar. A very inspirational president and world leader at a time when we desperately needed an inspirational president and world leader.
Pat, on all my travels around this globe in the past three years, I can testify that the world has sighed with relief. They fear a return of the ilk in the previous administration.
It sure is Pat!
Especially, when he busts out a couple of bars from "Let's Stay Together"
Positively swoon worthy! ;o)
I feel it too - it is going to be a tough battle fending off the naysayers, but, in the end it will be worth every minute of it!
PS: I'm rooting for your Patriots!
ideologyspoilstheview: Yes, I'm noticing it more and more, especially with some Republicans I know. I have been steadfast in expaining to them almost on a daily basis that what they're being fed is a bunch of lies. I even had one GOP friend tell me the other day that he realizes now that he's been voting for the wrong party for a long time. He despises the GOP for not working with President Obama, a man he admires immensely.
Feisty, I believe I read over @ The Obama Diary that "Let's Stay Together" is a huge hit song in the country right now. One of my co-workers lost her father last week, and I went to talk with her when she returned to work. I said to her - if you ever need to smile - watch the youtube of the President singing. I forwarded it to her and later in the day she stopped by to tell me that that video made her day. She told me - he's so damn cute - and she had a huge smile on her face.
P.S. I'm rooting for my Patriots too! LoL.
Now this is a funny video... I think everyone on this board will appreciate it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6etfJgZQ7A
It works for me... everytime!
Sorry to hear about your co-workers loss - it is NEVER easy losing a parent!
Brianb ... funny, good satire.
I thought it was very humorous. He made it funny. I like the scene when the teeth are shown... that was the high point of the video.
If we cannot laugh at ourselves we are truly lost. I do believe that many of us could be good friends ... but avatars allow us to be shrill and at the same time unheard. That said, seeya in the pit and no rules.
Pat---it truly is hope and change and I'm so glad to see it happening.
I heard you can get a ringtone of the President singing Let's Stay Together. Sadly, I have a dumb phone.
Sorry to say I will be rooting for the Giants since my husband is originally from NYC. No hard feelings, I hope!
Steeler Fan, you have to be careful and not call them 'dumb phones', they might get upset and sue you. The proper term is 'not-so-smart phones'....just because they are not-so-smart does not mean that they do not have feelings. After all, they should have just as much 'Personhood' as a corporation: they are artificial, made by humans, connected and transmit the words of their owners.......
B Honest---are you saying "phones are people, too"? I better apologize to mine! Mine would be a girl because it is pink.
Pat -
Just wanted to give you a quick thanks for turning me on to the Obama Diary site. Whenever things get really nasty here, I head over there and see how the real world reacts to our President and just sit here and smile. It never gets old - and Feisty, it's already been worth every minute!
JoAnne, they are just the nicest people over at The Obama Diary and I'm glad they turned out to be such a popular website. They are literally working their backsides off to GOTV and have no problem with standing up to lies. They have always had President Obama's back.
But I especially like the way they treat each other. Very warm hearted people. And the photos are out of this world.
That's what happens when you worship a politician. You trail behind other people that worship him too. It's not reality, it's fantasyland. Those living in fantasyland walk around with rose colored glasses on, looking for every smiling photo of their favorite politician and saying that he can do no wrong... while the country around us is filled to the brim with problems, debt and economic hardships... a lot of them created by the very politician that you worship.
Pat---the photos of crowds of enthusiastic supporters are always uplifting and the President's energy and vitality are obvious and encouraging. Thanks for pointing me there as well.
Have a great weekend.
if voters would concentrate on the underlining facts as apposed to name calling and stay focused on the real issues they would see that it's a smoke screen to keep people from the real facts about what they want to do for taxpayers. i have yet the hear what they can or will do for taxpayers. don't people in Florida realize Romney want's the housing market to bottom out so he can send investors in and buy up housing at a third of what people paid for them and rent them back to people for as much money as a house payment? why doesn't he want to help people stay in their homes or make it easier to buy. banks will never loan money as long as investors have the cash. Romney will own you and Florida if this happens. good luck! people on this site are as bad as the political party they support.
vicki----Romney wants to help those investors out there start getting the kind of passive income he gets. Too bad that people lose whatever equity they had in their home and have no where to live.
