This is the crux of the whole problem and I'm so glad you brought it up! The names on that list are curious to me because Obama moved up it so fast. I mean lightning speed!
While we were busy hoping to find a stain on a blue dress, Clinton was making his dem friends rich! That's what this is really about and I'm going to seek the facts on this aspect even if I have to dig a hole all the way to China. I wounder if I'll find the paperbag that carried all the cash Maggie Williams accepted at her desk in the WH?
I lived in Raliegh til I was 20 and never once set foot in Charlotte.
Huge amounts of money have gone to the Senators and their pet “NGO’s”, like Obama with ACORN. Republicans, too, I’m sure. I think they should have a bedrock of decency that says, “Decent people don’t take taxpayers’ money like this. It’s wrong.” Remember when Armstrong Williams, the columnist, was found to be taking subsidies from the Department of Education to promote No Child Left Behind? He agreed with the program, so it’s not like he was being paid to write something he didn’t believe, but he should have had a visceral response of, “I can’t take the taxpayers’ money like this.”
Charlotte is like Oklahoma City and Tulsa (the last two places we lived) in a good way. It’s easy to live here with a large family. Everyone’s nice. If you have time to “do something,” there’s plenty to do. We never visited everything we wanted to see in OKC or Tulsa, and we haven’t done it in Charlotte (in 5 years) either. And Raleigh has some neat places, like the Natural History museum, that would be really cool to visit, if we could just find a date that doesn’t have somebody’s Scouting or church commitments, and then pull ourselves together for the 3-hour drive each way.
