A Wish To Live Forever


I met a fairy today that said she would grant me one wish.

"I want to live forever," I said.

"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"

"Fine," I said, "then I want to die after Congress gets their heads out of their asses!"

"You crafty bastard," said the fairy.

"HIGH WATER!"



The game of chicken over raising the debt limit continues, with Republicans (and some Democrats) vowing that any vote for it will have to be accompanied by deep budget cuts, and tax increases of any kind will not be considered.  If Republicans have their way, there's only one possible outcome. The social safety net, already badly frayed by the deep recession, will have to be trimmed even further. There's simply no way to make the deep cuts the GOP is demanding without attacking Medicare and Medicaid, health care programs for the elderly and the poor. Much of the pain could be alleviated, of course, by repealing the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy, but Republicans will not hear of it. They stubbornly cling to the fiction that any tax increases (even repealing the oil depletion allowance for oil companies swimming in record profits) will deepen the recession and cost jobs. The inescapable truth, though, is that the most vulnerable among us are being asked to underwrite the increasing income inequality in America, which is already at the shameful levels seen in the Third World. This is all neatly packaged as absolutely necessary deficit reduction, but if the Grand Old Party was really serious it might ask those who can afford it the most to share a little of the pain.

= While they fight (political hassles only to make 'themselves' look good) "WE" suffer! =

What indeed!?

The thing that gets my hide chapped is the fact that so many citizens of this country just suck up the propaganda and bleat with the contentedness of the sheep they have become!  :mad:

I don't know if these allegations are true or not...but if they are....
Just common knowledge that citizens of a country - especially American citizens who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano – are interested in their presidents' personal lives. Conversely, FDR's polio was concealed, but ostensibly because we were in the midst of twin perils; the Great Depression and WW II.

Good grief... we are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man'. We care, but no one knows one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, and this is a personal thing but it disturbed me that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his charisma that caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity to announce her connection. We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurysms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton.. we all know about their heart problems and certainly speaking of the opposite sex- we heard and read a lot about Bill Clinton before and during his Presidency. Why hasn't someone, anyone stepped up and said, "Barack was soooo shy..." or "What a great dancer!!"

Now look at the rest of this... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.... "I just don't know about this fellow."

Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? Isnt it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.

When did he meet Michele.. and how? Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen. Are their photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?

Does this make you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him, they were buddies or drank a beer together or attended some school with him, were his friend or even a friend of a friend of Obama., etc. ?? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.

VERY, VERY STRANGE.. This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. If you ever saw The Manchurian Candidate?....ever give it one single thought? Not precisely the same hypnotic scereno but the idea of planting someone with a planted history to go with him, Who financed his education and worldly travels? Who spoke for him for his early jobs? Where and who are those folks?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are .. someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us. George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos would have been a classmate in what would have been Obama classes at Columbia -- the class of 1984 and he said he never had a single class with him.

While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.

Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me very well. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .. EVER!

Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that." Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! and five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.


NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was. Never there.

Some other interesting questions..

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002? Answer: I am told because he was caught falsifying background information on his BAR application. This can be verified with the Illinois bar examiners bureau.

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by Court Order?

It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT? The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.

No wonder all his records are sealed!

Nobody in the media, and I mean nobody, has ever simultaneously triangulated the facts about his foggy claims to citizenship, his Occidental college records (foreign aid maybe?) and his mysterious ability to travel, prior to holding public office, to foreign countries completely off limits to American citizens as well as the aforementioned "Columbia Cover-up".

Please continue sending this out to everyone asking for anyone, anywhere, to acknowledge that they knew him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking pizzazz. Who the hell can verify anything about the myth of this guy. Certainly all the people who know of his citizenship and educational background, one of them would step forth. One of them.

Just when I began to suspect you had a brain. . . 

So what's your analogy?
Again I get blasted, but you show "NO" proof of having a brain yourself. 
Just a put-down not constructive comment, typical "MO" palehorse  :-\

And just HOW would you be able to ascertain my "credibility", at 24 posts? Just how do you establish the criteria for my "MO"?

If you happen to be someone that has posted with me at some point, then you should de-cloke yourself and stop hiding in a new dress!

I "BLASTED" you? Really?!

My prediction is that if you "sincerely" mean that statement, you are not going to do well in this type of environment. . .
