Good morning AB, All,
Decided to drop in and let you all know that I survived the operation. Had FOUR, count ‘em, FOUR, coronary bypasses.
That was last Monday, was released this past Thursday, am now home recovering, doing very well except things tend to hurt.
But I move about, life is good, I am alive.
First thing I see is Dave Axlerod on Fox and I am reminded of “the campaign”.
I think it’s time for Hill to wrap it up, what you all think?
Now I must quake in fear that Obama might be my President. And Michelle, HORRORS, our first lady.
God gave me a mission with this heart thing coming out of nowhere. Don’t know what it is but everything takes on a different hue when you’ve at life as someone damn near close to dead.
But they ain’t shut me up yet, folks.
Heh.
Wow, I only had a double, back in 1988. That breastbone scar will hurt for a couple of months! Did they give you a ‘heart’ Teddy Bear?
First time I ever came to this forum focusing primarily on screen names!!
Welcome back! It is great that you are doing so well.
Another example of our outstanding medical care.
Obviously God is not finished with you yet.
God bless you and do what your doctor tells you.
Praise God, Pat!
I’ve been praying for you, and so happy that you made it back to us!
Happy Mother’s Day to you also!
FISH!!!
God Speed on your recovery sir.
ANd it’s good to hear that you are alive and well.
Glad to see you back so fast and not subdued. Maybe you do indeed have something to do...
Quake ye not!
Yes, we nominated the only guy who couldn't beat anybody, but they're gonna nominate the only guy who can't beat our guy.
I’ve been thinking and praying for you all week. Can’t tell you how wonderful it is to hear that surgery was a success and you are recovering at home. Yeah!! Welcome back to FR! Bet it was great to get home too.
WoW ..last week. Medicine today is amazing. Thank God for the medical research and breakthrough technologies created in the United States of America. God bless you with continued healing ... listen to your docs! . ;)

Good article about the entrenched and filthy rotten Chicago machine and how Obama skates .. guess he’s FROM Chicago, but somehow he’s not OF Chicago. Unbelievable!
Obama magically unstained by grime of Chicago Way (John Kass)
Excerpt:
It is all about context. The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate’s politics were born in Chicago. Yet he is presented to the nation as not truly being of this place, as if he floats just above the political corruption here, uninfected, untouched by the stain of it or by any sin of commission or omission. It is all so very mystical.
Perhaps viewing Obama as a Chicago political creature would conflict with the established national media narrative of Obama as a reformer. Actually, there’s no “perhaps” about it.
“I think I have done a good job in rising politically in this environment without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics,” Obama told reporters and editors at a Tribune editorial board meeting several weeks ago.
Yes, an excellent job. Except for his dalliance with his indicted real estate fairy, Tony Rezko, a relationship Obama considers a mistake, the senator has not played the fly to Mayor Richard Daley’s spider. Almost, but not quite.
“I know there are those like John Kass who would like me to decry Chicago politics more frequently, and I’ll leave that to his editorial commentary,” Obama said.
Not the politics, just the corruption, I said then, wishing silently that he had decried it all, that he’d stood up years ago and pointed to the list of sleazy deals, pointed an angry finger at the Duffs, the white, Outfit-connected drinking buddies of Daley who received $100 million in affirmative action contracts through City Hall.
*snip*
Obama the reformer is backed by Mayor Richard M. Daley and the Daley boys. He is spoken for by Daley’s own spokesman, David Axelrod. He was launched into his U.S. Senate by machine power broker and state Senate President Emil Jones (D-ComEd)
((WHO IS THE ONE WHO PUT OBAMA’S NAME ON SOME 20+ BILLS TO GIVE HIM NAME RECOGNITION, WHEN HE WAS FIRST ELECTED TO THE IL SENATE)).
Sen. Obama did give his word of honor that if elected president, he would retain corruption-busting U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, no easy vow, given that Daley is threatened by Fitzgerald, and that the corruption case against Rezko is about to be handed to the jury.

Brackabama is sure the untouchable, teflon-coated golden boy. Once you’re in with the Chicago machine, you’re really in.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, ALL YOU WONDERFUL AND DEVOTED MOTHERS!
