I'm really tired of Dem.'s claiming that the people voted for Obamacare when they re-elected Obama...
they voted against Obamacare when they voted for a Republican House.
Obamacare was pushed through by an all Dem. congress, and as quickly and ill-advisedly as possible.
People voted against Obamacare when they voted in a Republican House, who is simply now trying to undo what never should have done to begin with.

I think this is a very important exercise for people to see just how much is controlled by our government.

Our president doesn't seem to know what it means to be a leader...
or does he...
and this is exactly what he wants? ... to force this government into default... to bring down this country and make it vulnerable to outside takeover...
The question should be asked... Who is this leader, leading for?

Steaming...

Presidential news conference...
Really Mr. Obama, do I need a translator?   Because nowhere in the words "I will not negotiate" do I hear 'let's talk, let's compromise for the good of this country'.

"Why is it that we have hundreds of people not working?"
Um... because our president refuses to negotiate!!!

doublespeak, doublespeak, doublespeak!!!

How often does Obama go on live TV and cry with his lies to the public?

I just happened to be flipping channels and there he is again...

Um, wouldn't he be of more benefit to the country if he would get himself into his office and in a meeting with the Senate and House leaders to reach a mutual agreement to end the shut-down?

So disgusted... but mostly with the fact that the large majority of the people don't see how juvenile he is being, and how very unlike a leader who actually cares about the country.

I am embarrassed at how childish our government is... most especially the one elected as leader.

"Woke up this morning to the sounds of whining coming from the White House..." [i.e., Barack Obama] - comment by Allen West on Facebook.  I couldn't agree more.

and where has this been in the news?

"What is happening in Washington state? First two blacks attack and beat a World War II combat Veteran to death and now another one of America's combat Veterans has been stabbed to death. Could SPC Geike have been Obama's son? Does Obama feel compassion and need to make a press conference out of this tragedy? I suppose the killing of Army SPC Geike just does not fit the president or the liberal media's race-baiting agenda.... " - also from Alan West's Facebook page.

Allen West - former U.S. congressman, former U.S. Lieutenant Colonel,
West took office as the first black Republican Congressman from Florida since Josiah T. Walls left office in 1876.

⁴ Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

⁷ And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Psalm 39

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.  – Philippians 3:8

you are the fountain of life,
    the light by which we see.     Psalm 36

I believe in Christ as I believe in the sun, not because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else. - C.S. Lewis

⁷ Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him

²³ The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delights in every detail of his life.
²⁴Though he may fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord holds him up with his hand.

³⁴ Put your hope in the Lord.
    Travel steadily along his path.

Psalm 37

What's the point of replying to comments if the people we are replying to don't ever know that we've replied.  I just found several replies to comments that I never knew people had replied back to me.  No wonder the community here isn't flowing like the old Xanga did.    Wish I knew how to make an angry smiley.
There, how's that? Disgruntled smiley.

Ahhh.... The rain sounds so refreshing... to stand out on the porch and listen to the falling rain...
