Changing the Profile


I had to make a slight change in my profile today.

The 39 rolled over to 40.

That's years married.

Well over half my life.

So how does one stay married - to the same person- for forty years?


Three things:
1) always fight fair
2) giving and taking
3) have a sense of humor

Oh, and by giving and taking, I don't mean material things (although those are nice).

Shocked vs Saddened

Compare Barack Hussein Obama's responses: 

 

 On the murder of one American SOLDIER and the wounding of another:

"I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son."

 

  On the murder of a Doctor/Abortionist:

"I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning.  However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."
 

 It took Barack Hussein Obama, Commander-in-Chief, 3 DAYS to even comment on the attack on the two young American SOLDIERS. 

  And then he refers to it as a "senseless act of violence". 

 It was a heinous violent act by a Muslim Jihadi. 

 And he's 'saddened' by it. But not 'shocked and outraged'.

  I am saddened and outraged but not shocked by everything this guy does and says.

Another Day, Another Slight to the Military


Barack Hussein Obama announced his choice for new Army Secretary yesterday.

Barack Hussein Obama did not once mention the two soldiers shot at an Arkansas recruiting station - one killed, one wounded.

Nor did he offer condolences to the family of the murdered soldier.

Was it because he didn't want to call attention to the shooter, an anti-military Muslim convert?

Was it because he really doesn't give a rat's ass about the military?

Commenter Happyscrapper at Michelle Malkin nails it:
Obama’s true feelings and agenda are becoming clearer every passing hour.

He is Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces, yet feels the murder of an abortion doctor is more tragic and more worthy of his condolences than the murder of a soldier.

Now, he is over kissing the a$$ of the Saudi King. Next, on to Egypt to spout off about his Muslim roots.

Interesting that no one heard about those “roots” when he was campaigning for Pres. In fact, his opponent, Juan McAmnesty, forbid anyone to even mention that Obama’s middle name was Hussein!

Everything was covered up by the complicit MSM… his associations, his Muslim background, his socialist agenda… everything. And now we are stuck with him. Chicago thug, black supremacist, socialist, Muslim, America-basher, and our president. It doesn’t get any sicker than that.

Oops!

Secret List Of Nuke Sites Accidentally Released.

Are you effing kidding?

Had anyone in the Previous Administration allowed this to happen, there would be screams for heads to roll!

But not in the era of Hope'nChange where the publication of a 266-page list of 103 U.S. nuclear sites, some of which were
"highly confidential safeguards sensitive", and which details the location and work done there, is apparently no big deal.

The list was published MAY 6th and just recently taken down!

"There are "zero" national security implications to the publication of this document", said Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Government's Project on Government Secrecy.

"I regret that some people are painting it as a roadmap for terrorists because that's not what it is," Aftergood said.

"This is not a disclosure of sensitive nuclear technologies or of facility security procedures. It is simply a listing of the numerous nuclear research sites and the programs that are under way," Aftergood said. "And so it poses no security threat whatsoever."

Hey, Mr Aftergood, perhaps you could define "highly confidential safeguards sensitive" and the reasons for this classification for me.

NOTE: I googled Steven Aftergood and got: www.fas.org/sgp/aftergood.html

However, the page would not load even after several attempts.
Too bad the site with The LIST didn't have that problem.

Obama: U.S. Could Be Seen as A Muslim Country

Only in your dreams/our nightmares.


From Jeff Zeleny, NY Times:

In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”

The president said the United States and other parts of the Western world “have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam.”

...“And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” Mr. Obama said. “And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”

> N.F.: Oh, I think those of us who are paying attention have a good understanding of the Muslim world. <

The president is flying Air Force One directly from Washington to Riyadh. The White House press corps — traveling on a chartered United 767 — is refueling in Hahn, Germany.
> N.F.: Excuse me, but didn't the WH Press Corps used to travel on AF One? Are they relegated to a separate plane because Obama doesn't want to be bothered with pesky questions? Is his transparent presidency becoming murky?<

Are You paying attention yet?

Talk About Luck

US Hwy 100, just outside Flagstaff, AZ.

Look at the 1st picture below: you can see where the truck broke through the guardrail to the right side of the culvert, where the people are standing.

The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, bounced off and across the culvert outlet and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.

The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises.


Now look at the big picture:


I wonder if I could get this guy to pick some lottery numbers for me.

The GM Financial Fiasco


GM filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy today.

GM stock got thrown off the stock market.
It's now considered to be a penny stock .

GM workers are wondering if they will get their last paycheck.

Oh, and get this:

GM's reorganization plan will rely on up to $30 billion of additional financial assistance from the Treasury Department

Wait a minute.
The whole bailout thing was to prevent GM from going bankrupt because that would have been a disaster. But now bankruptcy is not a disaster? Go figure.

I admit to not being a math genius but I have always balanced my checkbook.


I'd like to know, where did all of those previous billions of bailout dollars go?
