A 2 AM Walter Reed Hospital Visit leaves Obama in Tears...Taken in the middle of the night as in
The Green Mile...President Elect Obama and aides were hustled to Walter Reed to be among the First to see the Return of 3 Special Patients....Truth, Reason, and Sanity....they were held prisoners for 8 years, often in solitary....Tortured and abused, the 3 women somehow held on.....

When PE Obama saw Truth, he burst into tears...her face was swollem and puffed, eyes were hollow, and skin an unhealthy color. She was the worst of the 3...They all hugged each other and vowed never to see them kidnapped again...Never.

His aides had to get more tissues for all of them....

After some amount of time to recover...His statment is as follows....

"After 8 long years in Enemies Hands, 3 women we thought were dead....have returned to our Land....We Welcome them Home as Heores and Patriots.....their recovery is assured by our Med Staff...a return to Public Service is expected in 90 days. I have invited all 3 to be in my Cabinet and they have accepted...

Reason will head the LOGIC DEPT...she is the most gifted for that task...

Sanity has agreed to head the Reality Dept....No Fantasies allowed in her Dept...

and Truth will guide the Wisdom Dept....She has the Right Scale of Things... Her Scale is Hugh....

Please give these Ladies a hand....they never gave up ....they never lost Hope....They knew we were Coming>>>>"

alright...its just a story....

But I must confess to tearing up at Kodak commercials. But it's ok, it's good. I have a heart and I love Truth, Reason, and Sanity....not to mention the reality based world.

18. Hopefully we are entering a New Age of Reason...
Where the ignorant do not out number the informed. Only the ignorant believe that Barack Obama is a "Muslim". Only the ignorant believe he is a secret "terrorist". Only the ignorant believe he is a "big-spending socialist". Only the ignorant would permit themselves to be led by propagandists posing as Christian leaders with a direct line to Jesus. It would be so refreshing and encouraging to know that the majority of the our country does not agree with these people...And indeed, it has been.

ALoHa

24. The Tears Were For His Own Failure To Impeach
And he's busy reaching out to shake those "Enemy's Hands" under delusions of "post-partisan" grandeur.

Those women will not recover under his care. And accountability for their attackers will remain "off the table." It's just http://www.talkingimpeachment.com/blog/Hall-of-Shame-Inductee----Barak-Obama.html">not a grave enough issue for Obama.

Sorry, I wish this were just a story...

... but it's the reality.
