I bet on him



twice!!!

And WON!!!

I wish I knew



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

If the budget gets moved



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 will share it sheshe2



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 read about this



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..

"Just say no" is spot on!!!


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..

YEP!!! No doubt



in my mind..

You summed that up


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.

I agree JDPriesly.. Lots of



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

Just the look on the girls



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..
