That last one is perfect for the laugh I knew I would get on this thread, nice tag too. Carter is gonna break that poor girls heart(Clinton).

What is it with these old guys anymore? Carter, Clinton, Wright...they are all acting like crackpots and making irrational statements and striving to grab some last glimmer of limelight. They all seem to be filled with hate, and trying to grab some last moments of glory. Could they be in the first stage of Alzheimer's or something? I am not trying to be comical, I am serious.

I watched my grandfather get this way as he grew older. He became very cranky, striving for attention by doing things that were over the line at times, saying things that made people uncomfortable, and he was more cantankerous than ever. But he was so convinced that he was wise and contemplative and had all the answers and everyone else was wrong and didn't see things clearly. No one could change his mind. We loved him and we just thought he was acting strangely, but it ended up he had Alzheimer's. He wasn't totally without an ability to remember things like other Alzheimer's patients. It was just that sometimes would get on a soap box about a subject and no one could stop him from ranting or making statements that were really upsetting and almost frightening about how he felt about things - the government, people he didn't like, etc. He seemed to be trying hard to start a fight. I often thought he was somehow worried about his life ending, and he wanted to do or say something important that people would remember before that time came. I am wondering if this might be what is going on with these men.

Well maybe she Doesn't.

Just one more clown in the circus.

Good Lord, I just heard the most unbelievable excuse for Obama not speaking out against Wright.

A pastor who is a friend of Wright but thinks that Wright is a tragic figure who is arrogant and has wasted his talent. He claims, that Obama was in an abuse relationship with Wright.

Wright was like a father who formed him into what he is today.

Obama could not bring himself to betray him.

It’s hell to get old,probably even harder for old socialists.

LOL, thanks DC.
You can see, I’ve been busy making things.

[dixiechick2000]

You’ve been as busy as a bee, and it’s easy to see you’ve spent a lot of time on your creations.

His mother, whom he adored, would “be delighted I think at the prospect of a black man being elected president". In an aside that will give scant comfort to Mrs Clinton, he added: “And she would be pleased - I wouldn’t say delighted - at the prospect of a woman being president.”

Carter has always been a silly little man.

[potlatch]

Sadly, that’s why I’m always so late on letters, lol.
I just ‘have to’ be working on something!

[Marathoner]

Jimmah doesn't want the title of "America's Worst President" any more,

Maybe so, but he'd still have the title of "America's Worst Ex-President". No one else (not even Slick) comes close.

To have that old racist Rev Wright around Obama’s neck is bad enough - but to add Carrrtaaa to the mess is downright cruel. Obama might just as well “give it up”...

[Mike Darancette]

Obama could not bring himself to betray him.

Wright as father figure, the Black man that did not abandon Obama. Barack Hussein Obama LOVES the guy, this is indeed rich. Of course you know that Obama is toast.

LOL!

That’s terrific potlatch!

[potlatch]

Thanks devolve. It is a very dark looking image to me but I’ll look at it on my laptop.

Appropriate right now, lol. Obama took a beating.

You don’t want to punch your nice new computer screen out, lol!
