After the election in 2008, I had high hopes that our country was crossing a milestone, a giant leap that had the promise to bring an end to many deeply held taboos..
Our new President, Barack Obama, had all of the prerequisites to clear the way to a new understanding between the cultures, Race, Youth, Socioeconomic, Political Parties, and Classes. This articulate young man, charismatic to the extreme, said all of the right things to set the tone for a new beginning in the body politic..
I had my fears though, coming from Chicago, I knew the threats posed by the corruption, endemic in the Daley machine hierarchy, that anything surviving and succeeding in that environment, could/should/would, be tainted, or infested. After all, hope springs eternal..
With most of the major media, and a Democrat majority in congress, ALL IN, for him and his lovely family, I thought this is either the PROMISE of a great FIRST, a bad script, or a harbinger of bad things to come..
It didn't take long, and with the world at his feet, he began to exhibit the traits that we have all lived through for nearly 4 years..
Our President is not an advocate, advocator, exponent, proponent, or partisan. Barack Obama is a fanatic, extremist, militant, maniac, fiend, a racist bigot of the first order. I was correct, he is really the FIRST..
The biggest spender.
The most corrupt.
The least qualified.
The best liar.
The greatest hoax in the history of the USA.
I really don't care where in the world he was born, or what color he really is, I just want him GONE, OUT, FINISHED, we need him to be FLUSHED DOWN THE DRAIN OF HISTORY..
It isn't what I think of him, it's just that I can't wait to never think of him at all..
You think the election will stop him Just wait!
It’s a start.. We have to start somewhere.. VOTE, get your family to VOTE, bring your neighbors to VOTE.. :)
updated tagline.
I knew he was a Marxist in 2007 all I had to do was listen to one of his speeches.
Your post makes me think you voted for the sob.
And there won’t be any fraud in the election process, right?
Most likely there will be no election.
Sue, I love it..
My dear Alice, I am a romantic at heart, trying to see something good in everything bad.. My reputation is well known on these boards, I railed against this bastard when he gave the keynote speech at the Dumbo convention.. VOTE.. :)
Fraud? Democrooks? Naw.. We need to win so BIG that even my dead relatives in Chicago can’t beat us.. VOTE, early and often (a little Chicago Lingo).. :)
Thanks for the clarification, you had me going there.
Oh, there will be an election, and I want it to be so monumental that it becomes a FIRST.. Not one state, not even an hour of guesswork.. Nov. 6, 2012, 8PM CBSNBCABCMSNBCFOX, call it for Rommey.. VOTE.. :)
Your description most appropriate...of high anxiety, the sense of panic setting in, your mind and body ensconced in a cold-sweat, nowhere to go, nowhere to turn..... breathing getting heavy, short, shallow.... the sense I have not unlike an underwater spelunker, cave explorer, finding myself immovably wedged in between a rock and a hard place within the narrowing walls that have me in its ever-tightening grip... dark, cold, wet.... disoriented... don't know, can't tell which way is up. down... the helmet light dimming, the batteries nearly gone, the oxygen tank meter way passed 'E'....... This is Obama's legacy to the nation, world, mankind, civilization... Good-bye cruel world.....Should have voted Libertarian when I had the chance, when I was still above ground.
It feels like a combination of 9/11/2001 and the financial crash of October 2008.
the biggest liar perhaps, but not the best. the best liar gets you to believe it’s the truth.
WOW, you captured the moment exactly.. You missed the bile in my throat, but close enough.. LOL.. VOTE.. :)
Throw in Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds radio broadcast hoax on Halloween Night 1939 to the mix to get that sense of unprecedented, end-of-the-world, never-happened-before, Oh!-No!-What-are-we gonna-do, how-are-we-gonna-pay, when the Martians come to turn in their treasury notes?
COOKED GOOSE IN MUSHROOM SAUCE
1 goose (breasted)
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced or halved
1/4 c. green onion, chopped
1/4 c. sherry or white wine
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 c. chicken broth (or 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup)
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Sprig of parsley
garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprika (for sprinkling)
1 tablespoon olive oil (to brush on)
1 tablespoon butter
Brush goose with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprika. Roast in a 375°F degree oven for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 325°F and roast until juices run clear when inner thick is pierced with a cake tester or fork, or breast meat registers 155-160°F on a meat thermometer.
When goose is nearly done, prepare the sauce. Combine egg, milk and cornstarch, stirring to mix well.
In a saucepan, over medium high heat, melt butter and sauté green onions and mushrooms until onions are translucent. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Add cornstarch and milk mixture; simmer over very low heat, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper, to taste and a pinch of paprika. Stir in wine and cook 10 more minutes.
Allow goose to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before carving. Carve breast diagonally and arrange in a fan shape on plate. Pour sauce down the center. Garnish with parsley.
Serve accompanied by extra sauce for the table.
I see my favorite chef has cooked up a great thread. :)
I’m on board, Carlo, and will work my patootie off to get rid of the Marxist demon. And vote ABO, of course!
