So you can understand the frustration of the first 6 years of this administration when Republicans were the majority in Congress and the people were not represented. At that time, Congress did what the pres. wanted even though some, like Specter, who voiced his bipartisan agreements, it was to no avail.
Two years ago, when the people voted in more Democrats, the majority is not by much so nothing gets done, on either side.Unbelievable. You apparently either have absolutely no clue what you are writing or you are being deliberately obtuse just to tick people off. Please, go to the library and do a few weeks worth of research on the Constitution and the history of both Congress and the presidency. It will serve you so much better than simply looking in at the Daily Kos and Democrat Underground every day or two. |

It seems Obama has respectfully honored a fallen hero by wearing the bracelet. I found a link that tells another point of view on the thought: www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20080928/obama-bracelet/Quote: Tracy Jopek of Merrill told The Associated Press on Sunday she was honored that Obama remembered Sgt. Ryan David Jopek, who was killed in 2006 by a roadside bomb. Jopek criticized Internet reports suggesting Obama, D-Ill., exploited her son for political purposes. "I don't understand how people can take that and turn it into some garbage on the Internet," she said. another snippet: "I think these bracelets should be looked upon as an honor that both candidates wear them to respect the troops," Jopek said. "My request to both of them is that they honor the troops by lifting the conversation to the issues, and that they continue to live up to the standards our military deserves." ________________________________________________ On to the issues...... Thank you for posting this Mink. Too many outright lies are repeated on this board. It seems like no one is interested in knowing the truth about a situation before spewing something that fits their side of the debate. please let us know when the huffington post becomes a beacon of truth.  |
