I will have to watch tomorrow. I work the late shift, however it's after 1AM here. Gotta go soon.

I read Williams OP and the link. This President is handling this with his calm determined, and as the picture shows he is angry, manner. He will resolve this. Damn he carries so much weight on his shoulders.

I mourn the sweet lives that were taken from us, freshwest. May their souls rest in peace.

Thank you for posting this for the BOG.

back at cha! I've been watching Rachel's show on "Consider the Source" and she's showed clips of President Obama's speech. And, she was interviewing Nina Khrushcheva who said she was glad Obama used "propaganda" when saying what they don't need. She doesn't think very much of Putin.

If you get a chance to see it.. it's very good.
