Oh, you guys have me beat by a country mile. And I love it!

But I miss my dad - and mom and brothers. And I think they'd have loved this president.

Beautiful day, thanks for the OP

But I didn't know about the Home Depot owner. Guess where I ain't shoppin' next. And I'm going to tell him so.

President Obama epitomizes my late father's favorite saying:

Beware the wrath of a patient man.

I hope President Obama figuratively breaks the back of the conservatives in general. Teach them a long overdue lesson with no holds barred.

My dad was the same way. Patient and accommodating but only to a point. Push him past that, and you'd better have your running shoes on.

What you and Bob said!

You might think I could spare a bit of jealousy when people out-write me, but I can only glow with the joy of seeing it done so beautifully.

And to think: he's just barely started! That list will grow and grow and grow...

I think Skinner can skin just about anyone when he feels like it, in no uncertain terms.

I'd give everything I have or hope to have

that I previously wanted to leave to Catholic Workers if I COULD get the wingers to move to Russia! That's where they belong.

I rec'd your OP but am still putting out an SOS to mods to terminate the troll invaders.

If it were left to me, I'd permanently ban every single last one of them the instant they start their crap. No modeling patient behavior for them because they'll ALWAYS push to the limit. Don't need to name names... the mods can tell who they are easily enough.

You've touched on a subject close to my heart. The Far Left no longer claims me because I'm a solidarity Democrat in relation to this president. Luckily they don't get to define me - I know what I want and what I believe, they don't have a say in it. I'm sure President Obama wants more for us than any miracle worker could accomplish (especially by himself w/o supporters showing up to vote!), and I see no reason at all to castigate him for working with and living in reality as it exists NOW. Regardless of what we see as ideal, we need to keep our feet on the ground and our shoulders to the wheel WITH HIM.

Maybe I should change my sig line to "BAN THE TROLLS!"

And you (and yours) are ours too, Devon

Thanks for letting us know. We'll all be pulling for you, each in our own way. I wouldn't wish your situation on my worst enemy.

Well, I've had a big thrill and a big fit all in one day

Loved the President's interview on This Week but oh how I wanted to throw a brick at the tv when all those talking heads on CBS and ABC (the only 2 channels I get) kept going on about him "stumbling to accidental victory" at best. Although one that's generally not his friend did point out that the GOP was having its usual visceral reaction against anything related to Barack Obama. What deplorable fools. I hope their party commits suicide over this. As one of them warned, though, maybe Obama isn't all that worried about their possibly shutting the government down because he would crucify them for it come midterms. They'd be handing us the House wrapped up in a blue ribbon. I hope they wet their pants.

Right now I'm waiting for the ball game to finish so 60 Minutes can come on. More about the interview scheduled for that show.
