Good evening everyone, and welcome to the new week's thread.

Our new president will treat us to another exhorting, scolding speech Monday night as the Senate prepares to vote on the Depression and Mind-Boggling Deficit Act of 2009.

Meanwhile Sec Treasury Timothy Geithner, AKA The Treasury's Own Tax Cheat, will unveil yet another bank bailout Tuesday...but that could change...stay tuned.

Good morning, lysie.

I don’t even try for the quick station change. I cannot stand anything at all having to do with him. I was in the library and took the latest issue of one of the “news-gossip” magazines and put it down in the “used” shelf. Caligula was on the cover.

Hi, lysie.

Hey, y’all, help me out here. Just quickly and quietly say a spot prayer that our fast internet will suddenly come back on line. I need to call the states at 0800 CST and the phone won’t work with a slow dial-up such as I’m using now.

[lysie]

Will do, Jem.

[Jemian]

I need it online about 0800 CST but also, please now, pray for the youngest. She is getting all four wisdom teeth out with general anesthetic. Surgery starts about 0830. I think.

[Jemian]

Signing off now. BBL

[kassie]

Hope you’re feeling better today.

[kassie]

Oh my - what a feast!!!!

[kassie]

Good Morning.
I watched probably 3 minutes of the public display. Why did he call on certain reporters from a list???

[gulfcoast6]

OK folks, lets all pull up to the table and dig in! Thanks lysie for the start, wish I could cook like this, make a bowl of instant grits (thanks to you folks her on FD for introducing mt to them), maybe a egg or two on top and that is my morning start. Oh, pot of coffee too of course.

Thanks to all for being who you are and the joy you give me on this site. it is the tops.

WE have 4 years of trouble coming our way. I watch some of these ‘aged’ politicians and surely we are going to see some state funerals soon, some are older than dirt.

kassie, they reporters he called on, gave him the questions prior to the teleprompting session.

[Geee]

good morning. Last night s rain took most of the snow. Just goes to show you, if you hang on long enough the sun will eventually shine. Hang on.

[Jemian]

It is all scripted. There is not one original cell in his body. There is nothing improvised or genuine about him. It is all written and choreographed by his handlers and he dances to their tune.

[Carolinamom]

Good morning.

Last night's press conference was still another example of o's pattern of exerting control over everything and everyone.

From start to finish, it was planned/controlled: pre-picked questions and reporters so that he would know what to expect and could rehearse his "answers".

He slipped in some lies as well....the most outrageous one being his declaration that this stimulus bill had absolutely NO EARMARKS. Au contraire: 80% of it is spending that Pelosi and dems have had on their wish list for years.

One particularly worrisome part...or it should be worrisome...is the health care part slipped (aka sneaked) into this monstrous bill. The cleverly worded part means that medical care will be limited and cost effective....old folks will be last in line to receive needed medical care because their lives are not as valuable as young ones. (Exceptions: Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd?) Of course, "young ones" does not apply to the unborn or survivors of abortions....the green light is on for killing those.

Frankly, I don't know how much more I can take of seeing or hearing this imposter who has fooled so many Americans into believing that he alone ("I won.") can save this great nation from burn out.

[lysie]

If this was posted previously I apologize. If you can't stand to read the whole article..skip to the summaries.

Your head will explode.

Good Morning.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

I cannot stand anything at all having to do with him.

Likewise dear, likewise.

[Jemian]

I will be up for another 25 minutes. The docs should have enough time then to let me know if there is an impediment for her to have the surgery.

Yikes! It is hard to monitor things from this point in the world. @#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#$%^&*()_n BAD INTERNET CONNECTIONS!!!!!! I needed most RIGHT NOW!!!!

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

I see my screaming rants from days gone by are somewhat contageous. Hope you get a good connection soon!

Members of Congress (and all connected family and friends, of course), will not have to live by these stealth heatlh care rules. They go to Walter Reed without an appt. when they get sick. I think it should be a Constitutional Amendment:

Congress shall make no law from which members of Congress themselves are exempt.

In re Nobama's approach last night: I keep getting this impression that he is an acknowledged smart guy who has re-invented the wheel, except it's square, and Nobama will not listen to any other smart guys about how they invented the same wheel and found that round works best. In fact, Nobama is determined to force the square wheel on all of us and have us use it until it wears down into a round shape, discomfort and consequences be damned.

What I find appalling is his utter contempt for any human being not in his acolyte entourage or mentor squad: He obviously believes that those not already with the program are so stupid that they must be publicly led by the ear to the fruits of his genius and have their noses rubbed in it repeatedly until they get the idea. He also appears to be be barely containing his rage when resisted, and shows no signs of being shy about forcing people down his own designer version of a path to Hell.

Every time I see a Reagan speech about the genius of the average American, how a family knows best how to fend for itself and spend its own money, and how being left alone has more unintended benefits than gov't intervention has unintended consequences, I still come away amazed...;-))
