1. Explain, please...

[Voice for Peace]

10. kind of like,

when you are walking and there's a wind behind you, not blowing against you, and it keeps you going even when your legs might be tired

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. That was beautiful!!! Yes, he does! n/t

[Tempest]

2. Yes

Despite everything the malcontents threw at him, including the teabagging parties, Obama's approval rating increased in the last week.

3. I sure hope so and it stays a long time...

[JayMusgrove]

4. More people heard Obama speaking today in Iowa on TV

than all the people who were in all the tea parties last week on the 15th.

5. That is the slowest point of sail

I like to think Obama is on a full reach with a calm quartering sea.

6. Yes, and all the GOP can try to do is break wind.

They love the smell; and it's the only type of wind anywhere near their backs.

8. Not to mention TRUTH and JUSTICE!

Truth stands on two legs; lies don't have a leg to stand on.

[ncteechur]

9. Nope...not yet.

12. Seems so to me,

and I think he feels it.


May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

14. The right wing wind is against him.

The populist wind is still with him.

15. He's getting a respite...

but people will lose their interest in torture, and very soon be back on the attack.
