I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

A Study of the President's True Character:

Posted Friday, May 1, 2009, at 10:33 AM

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

A president's true character is seen by actions not heard in words! I am going to research and write this Character Blog in sections so read on. I will use my words and quotes from others to paint a picture. This is my take on his character so I really don't care if you, the reader, agree with me or not! Regardless of your political views, character is the point not agenda!

Obama met with top Congressional members on the Friday after his inauguration. He listened to the Republicans concerns over the vast over-spending and he shut down any hopes of real dialogue by arrogantly telling Republican leaders: 'I won.' (Mind's eye:Obama bent over with his hands on each side of his head like a moose and finishing with a resounding, "Nanner-nanner-nanner"!)

The next 100 days were filled with such character building actions as Obama making constant negative remarks about and at the Republicans. Obama spent his time blaming President Bush for everything from the economy to the current wars to the hole in the ozone layer to the deaths and wounds of every non-American person from every past war, including but not limited to conflicts on plantet earth. According to the bitterness of the NEW Congress, this Bush guy caused a rip in the space-time continuum and therefore can be directly linked to causing every major economic disaster in our history! Every opportunity presented to him during his travels has been used to apologize to all nations for the "evil that men do" which means Bush.

And what about the Rush Limbaugh disgrace (not that I'm that big of a fan but still!)-- in which Obama's top advisers, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, were ordered to start a public relations campaign meant to undermine the Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele, by framing talk-radio personality Limbaugh as the real head of the Republican Party. (Mind's eye: Obama throwing a 2-year-old-like temper tantrum in the Oval Office, screaming "I'm the president! He can't say mean things about me! Get him Manie! Crucify Rush!" while Emanuel is simultaneously soothing the man-child and frantically calling everyone on his cell phone for help!)

Here's a thought, Mr. President; congressional majorities do change and at some point, you, Obama will need Republicans on your side. You have spent 100 days burning bridges that may take years to rebuild, if you're lucky enough and smart enough to see the arrogance of your ways. You will have to make nice with them on the playground or suffer the consequences. Stay tuned for more.

Wow! You should write for the National Enquirer. They're into sensationalism and fantasy.

And you, censored, should write fantasy novels. Had enough name calling now?

Unfortunately, I don't believe there's any sensationalism and fantasy in her blog. I think its a pretty good accounting of our ruler's (whoops, I mean president's) first 100 days.

Censored

You are deceiving yourself, just like the Dems. did regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Of course we know where that got all of us.

Sorry Censored, 3 to 1, you're over-ruled here.

I may not be inclined to get involved in this conversation (I've sufficiently made my points in response to one of your other posts--you may enjoy saying the same stuff over and over again but I don't) but I do have to say: Don't think that just because censored is outnumbered in this forum that s/he is outnumbered in general. In fact, I think it's fair to say that fringe opinions such as yours represent the minority (thank goodness).

Very well put, rollman.

yea, well put! You are exactly right. I am in a minority, here. However, as I stated in my blog, this is from the research I have done and every point I make is fact, pure and simple. Like it or not. Every character example is written and recorded for anyone to look up. I do write fiction but not when it comes to important issues. Live in denial and hold on to your delusions, if you want. Keeping your head in the sand is uncomfortable and makes you look silly but many are happy there. You, my fellow American, are among a large majority who have sand in their mouths.

What???!!! I don't get it. I respond to a comment made and now I have sand in my mouth and am living in denial? I may not agree with what you say, but, for you to say what you did makes me wonder where in the hell you're coming from.

"However, as I stated in my blog, this is from the research I have done and every point I make is fact, pure and simple."

So, was it your "point" to insinuate that Obama really said what you put on the pic above?

-- Posted by MrMister on Sun, May 3, 2009, at 4:20 PM
Ya got me on that one. Naw, the picture is real, tha caption is a joke. I think you know I'm talking about the actual facts. The comments made about those facts are my opinion. And the head in the sand is also my take on the majority who can't read the facts without calling it sensationalism and fantasy. Fantasy is something that is made up or fiction. Facts are truth. So I will try to make sure that my comments of opinion, like "a rip in the space-time continuum" or the words "Nanner-nanner-nanner" are more clearily written to convey that.
