Good post.

Too bad most people won't see it or don't give a shit.

This is the kind of information you use to win elections, there is no shortage of it available. We have to run like the democrats do, pull no punches. Running the O's out of our house should be akin to falling off a board.

ALCON - if you're gonna post something like this, we assume it is because it is something you either feel strongly about or it is something which you think might be of interest/importance to the members of this BB. To that end, it helps everyone if you (1) ensure the thread title reflects the content of the post and (2) you either comment or provide a snippet which gives a synopsis of the article/blog/etc. that you are posting.

Appreciatively,

Richard

As good upstanding Americans it should be our desire that the First Ladies fantasies..... er...... uh...................I mean wishes are met. So come November how bout we all go to the polls and send her off on that walk that she so desires.

Don't be mean only 17 vacations. I think the total cost would choke Bill Gates. The golf doesn't count.
