So now what do you do?
I guess this is better than President Medvedev hiring the Russian mafia to bump you off. And after his earlier comments I’d be looking behind as I walked.
When is opposing the President purely political and without logic? During the all-important healthcare debate, perhaps.
Obama, 48, continues to struggle to stop his 30-year smoking habit and needs to modify his diet, said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, a Navy captain who led the medical team that performed Mr. Obama’s physical.
Isn’t this like Jack Daniels offering Betty Ford assistance?
President Dmitry Medvedev promised Monday that heads would roll after Russia suffered its worst-ever performance at the Winter Olympics, warning “fat cat” sports officials to quit or be fired.
“ABC’s Jonathan Karl and Z. Byron Wolf report from Washington:
As the doors closed, I asked Bunning if he is concerned about those losing their benefits.
He did not answer. This is all on-camera.
Senator Bunning was even more expressive before the cameras arrived, using a little sign language.
When Senate producer Z. Byron Wolf spotted Bunning exiting his office, Bunning said, “I’m not talking to anybody.” When Wolf asked him to stay and talk to our cameras, Bunning walked toward the elevator and shot the middle finger over his head.”
The polite part of the video, if you can call it that, is featured here.
The conversation on the street centers around a strong division between the left and right in America right now. I’d contend we’re potentially more fragmented than ever but not polarized as the news and the political parties would lead us to believe, and issues like individual freedoms including states’ rights and the right to gun ownership are going to cause many to decide once and for all which issues are most important to them. For many of us, choosing which pieces of the Constitution are most important to us seems unacceptable, but so does overlooking the opportunity to reiterate once and for all what each amendment to this most important document means.
Why? If you put gun ownership rights above all else, for example, you’re going to need strange bedfellows like the ACLU to protect freedoms you consider highly important. At the same time, do you believe Christianity is America’s one true faith and strongly support the tenet “One Nation Under God”, precisely as worded? If you do, you might have to decide which of these is more important when you realize what it could take to move forward your personal priorities.
This isn’t said to mean one should compromise any of their rights as American citizens. What it does mean is we’ve evolved into a highly complex, money-centric, interest-based system.
