the answer to this. Not only am I confused, I am also saddened by
the whole thing. Soon, very soon, there must be a breaking point to this
situation. There just has to be. If not, everything will crash, even for the top
money makers. Everyday I read of despair, I see it in the streets,
I experience it myself at times. What did happen? I remember a time when
it was unthinkable to allow people to be hungry, without a home, and no job
or hope of one. I'm not just beating up on Republicans, but as I remember
we started heading south during his administration, and we are now snowballing
down the path.. I do have deep despair about our future and what it holds. Our
President can only do so much, the rest is up to us, and the greedy ones. Most
days I just want to

into next year, and the cuts to Snap are passed by both
parties, D & R, this could potentially backfire on the Dems and the President
if he were to sign it. Reason being, the GOP will say Hey, the Dems
wanted to cut them too, and the President signed off on it. I don't like
how this will look with 2014 coming up. I hope the Dems decide to
push it another year. We can't afford to cut Snap to anyone for any amount right now, and we cannot afford
to look like we agreed wholeheartedly with the cuts. I smell a rat.

I worked in Domestic Violence and Sexual assault for 10 years.
. Our safe house was always full sadly.. Women and children..
Especially during the holidays. All holidays, brought more in.
I learned that the pressure from family gatherings, drinking, and
more drug use was what made our safe house fill up during holidays..
So sad..
I will share it sheshe2

when Chelsea said it, and a flag went up for me...
Hillary has had some health problems and is ageing. As a woman myself
younger that HRC, I can say she may not have it in her to run again..
Its hard... really hard. My family
has been asking my tired, old as Clinton, Mother to not run again in her
district. Not being ugly, but give her a break. She did her time for
the country. Let her enjoy her private life now. Even the 4 year difference in age
between Clinton and Warren is a big difference, not to mention health history..We need someone younger than Hillary imo. Even if only 4 years younger..

Her association with Coe is clear from what I have studied
about him, and his " Cult"...Its difficult
to find much to study on them. They hide, change their name and
moved their location ...
I will go kicking and screaming if HRC is my
only choice..
"Just say no" is spot on!!!

very nicely TBF!!!... Thank you. I like your take on this, and agree 100%..
2014 is my focus at this time, we must get out the VOTE
and we must win! I do push for Elizabeth Warren
every chance I get. She would be my choice for us in 2016.. I am very hopeful
I will have an opportunity to not only campaign for her, but also VOTE for her.

good news, and I am celebrating all of it. Our President
is very capable of handling these matters, and honoring
his word to take care of these things that matter.. I am quite
proud of who we elected, and his choice to bring Secretary Kerry
on board is paying off. How wonderful it is not to be stressed out
about going to war again. For me... the deck cannot be stacked higher
when threat of war is the subject.. Good job to both of these men for keeping
peace and giving peace a chance. This would not have happened under robot Romney.. No way we would have seen peace with him. IMO

faces as they stood to be removed ( and our President)
said let them stay), was a look of delight.. I believe he taught
them a valuable lessen they will carry through their whole
lives, and hopefully teach others to do the same.
President Obama.. a gentleman indeed,
and a President (I don't always agree with him, but I voted for him and
of late he has been doing a great job), I respect, and
someone who respects others, as he showed he does. I know he
wants reform, and we will have it. We are slowly chipping away
at immigration and one day we will celebrate its success..
