Thank you for keeping us informed.
I hope that this list is disseminated to as many as possible. I thank all of the people here who are getting the message out.
Thanks for all the hard work. I know it takes a lot of your time but you are doing a real service for those of us who are trying to keep up with it all.
Thank again!
You Rock FRiend!
Thank=Thanks :)
Ping. Updated list from Nachum. (Good to print off for reference.)
Thank you, Nachum’s been busy.
Great list. I don’t think you will have room on the typical PC hard drive for the list of Obama’s failures and subversive activities by the time we get to the end of four years.
“Three days after his administration hinted Obama would order American troops into Pakistan when targets became open, Obama himself reversed that position”
HAHAH he was for it before he was against it. This is going to be a lOOOOOOOOOng four years (if we survive).
Thank you! Much appreciated.
That is ultimately why I began the website. I spent a little more and got the "unlimited" plan (whatever that means) to accomodate the size. Also, there has been a fair amount of traffic.
I am mulling over how to procede as the list grows. I want it to be easily accessed as a historical project. The thought of that a large a database is getting very scary.
I really appreciate your kind words.
You’ve got a fan club : )
