On the FoxNews segment featuring Obama’s remarks his mike remained open after his brief and IMO detached remarks, he spoke to his daughter informing her they were to remain while the songs of each of the four armed services were played. Apparently he is unaware of the position of the United States Coast Guard.

They mourn Independence and Liberty. They prefer Dependence and Tyranny.

They frequently wear black ... as you well know, they even dressed their little girl in black for the “coronation.” Black; the color of mourning, negativity, darkness, etc.

Don’t seek any meaning behind Obama’s attire — the American Independence Day means as much to him as it would to any other Kenyan.

You’re a racist. You think black means mourning.

Actually, I’ve seen no sign either Obama thinks twice about what they wear in public.

He’s faking it. He’s celebrating this:

Constitutional erosion from the courts and our governemnt.

We are being usurped and controlled by the United Nations more and more.

1- Stop the “Real ID” Act, S.1261 (worth watching!):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kE8xDMokpM

2- http://www.jonchristianryter.com/News_Folder/Behind.html

The latest article on BEHIND THE HEADLINES tells you how Obama’s government lawyers are trying to sabotage Kerchner v Obama, et al. One of the lawyers argued that ... while the 1st Amendment guarantees people the right “...to petition the government for a redress of grievances ... this right to petition does not include a corresponding right to a response.” She continued that people do not have “... a constitutional right to force the government to listen to their views ... the Constitution does not grant to members of the public generally a right to be heard by public bodies making decisions of policy.”

In the view of the US Attorney, the 1st Amendment only allows you to petition the government, but it’s a one sided arrangement that does not require the government to listen ... or respond. We have a serious problem on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. If nothing else, this article will make you think. And when you do, compare the historic parallels.

Is her dress billowing or is that her big ass? Actually, the big ass behind her has a limp wrist. And look at that expression! He reminds me of Ruprick from the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake. “Oh, Larry Sinclair! This is the happiest day of my life! I think my testicles are dropping!”

Is the guy following Michelle in that pic really the President of the United States? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dorkier, weirder pic of a POTUS ever. (And no, Kerry doesn’t count since he lost, LOL.)

You are seeing her right knee ahead of her left knee, which makes it look like she has a swolen left knee.

Looks like she wrapped a folded bedsheet around her to cover her extensive posterior. And a bedsheet is expandable to still fit when she expands.

Could you imagine if Laura Bush had worn the same costumes the The Big Mrs. O wears?

Went through a number of search links and found this;

‘Hope ‘n Change’ is scheduled to sit down with Dmitri Medvedev and Vladimir Putin in Moscow on July 6-8.

Apparently Michelle leaves earlier but haven’t found that.

I think it’s a combination of her bent right knee protruding from in back of her left knee.

Off topic, but can you answer this? A CG helicopter did a fly-by over the NASCAR race at Infineon Raceway. On one side of the chopper the Air Force insignia was plainly visible. Why was it there? What’s the connection between CG and AF?

He somehow imagines himself to be the great transformational leader of all time

Moshelle hints at Barry's parentage with her outfit.

Barry:
He shouldn't walk and point, he'll poke his eye out one day... oops! I think he just did.

Mooshelle:
"You got legs right up to your neck". Rod Stewart's lyrics come to mind, but he wasn't referring to the WH "physical wreck" wife.

We got spoiled by the Bush family. President Bush came from wealth but he and Laura led a quiet conservative life while in the White House.

The Clintons traveled the world and took hundreds of people with they on each of those trips. I remember us complaining at the time.
