Kayla is my son Michael's girlfriend and she is a dedicated Lady Gaga fan and to see these updates and to know that there are still kind people out there, well, it really has impressed me alot! She texts me to say she is okay and I know youth doesn't mind sitting in the rain...folks my age>? not so much! Thank you again for your KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY...I did a residency in New York City at the Animal Medical Center in '81 and I got to know that the people of NYC are pretty nice people, I am glad Kayla is seeing that now! Please accept my most heartfelt THANK YOU for all the kindnesses you have shown to these kids! It will be remembered.....

    Embrace democracy or get out. What part of his message doesn't he get?

        This is a golden opportunity for the Middle East to become a Nation and change the course of history.

        , "Our reputation goes much further back than former President George W. Bush remember it was FDR and

        Truman that split the ME into countries." Our nation was created out of the Civil War.

        I support President Obama on the Syrian situation, and anticipate his Speech as another Cairo Speech.

        I am convinced the Weapons of Mass Destruction are in Syria, moved later there by Saddam for

        safekeeping, and GWB will be vindicated in the Middle East. and those who demonized him will

        regret it. Ninth Anniversary Report: Intelligence report states U.S. attack on Syria was

        in the works. Phyllis Kunz

          PS I do want to find a copy of President Obama's Speech to file with his Cairo Speech, both

          memorable. Anybody who knows me knows that I have a religious worldview for which I will

          not apologize. That said, the president talked poignantly of the young street vendor but of

          this time something different happened. In my mind, something different happened with him

          but something different happened in the Middle East as well, fulfilling that cryptic prophecy of

          Jeremiah 31. Because nobody understands what is meant does not mean that it has not

          happened.. Democracy is happening the Middle East, whether some like it or not.

          Regret requires a conscience and Bush could have defended himself better instead of letting the lies pile up. Bush looks better everyday though compared to his critics. Such doublespeak weasel word using petty little punks. They can't say anything positive about themselves or thier deeds without tearing someone else down first.

          Keep an eye on Israel this summer. The Marxist traitors to America are working with their Islamofascist allies. Some folks just can't handle the ideaR that they aren't the final word or the givers of all rights.

          We know how the story ends though so :-)

            I just read that Mitch Daniels decides not to run for the presidency. The GOP is still the party

            of George W. Bush. And I am here for the party:o)

                Brian what a day what a day as the US has so many sex scandals with Law Makers dropping like flies and cover ups by the press, all this talk about IMF Director with his scandal. Like the pot calling the kettle black, try looking in the our own back yard.

                So sad to see a qualified Asian/American judge be blocked because he isn't part of the Republican/Tea Party team to help Banks/Corporations continue to steal.

                The paper trail of who knew where Bin Laden leads directly to Dick Cheney and the CIA Agents know it. Cheney is pushing to save them from his order to torture and he if can't get the investigation closed these guys will sing like birds. Musharraf was paid well for his cooperation and the money get got from the Bush Administration and help in his self exile to London. Again the press is making sure that information isn't allowed but the Scooter Libby trial cleared up how that special CIA department was run/control by Dick Cheney. Even the appointment of Porter Goss was only to have a department head who would just be a place sitter.

                Arnie is now being investagated for possiblely spending taxpayers money for his love children. Yes there are possibliy more then one child as reported. Favors were given to keep the secrets and look for more crimes/sex acts to come out. Arnie loves to continue his act as a foreigner as he sees it worked well for the 9/11 terrorist who were welcomed and supported by Americans who didn't know what was really going on.

                The FEC cleared all charges against Senator Ensign because they said they believed he was telling the truth. Well now we know he lied and had help from fellow Law Makers. Just think if every criminal could get investigated by the FEC, we'd have no one in jail because lying works well. Bernie Madoff and Jack Abramoff should have asked for their investigation by the FEC, both men would never been found guilty.

                While the circus clowns and law makers continue to do their best to save the criminal corporation/banks and try to destroy Democracy, the President continues to do the work he was elected to do. I have been watching Obama since he took office. I campaigned/supported Hillary Clinton but accepted the choice of the voters. I do write the White House with my opinion and complaints but surprised to see they do answer their mail and answer my questions. Each American has an opinion and has a right to be heard. That example has even made the people in the Middle East fight for their Democracy. The real enemy within the US is now working State to State for the take over and we know what States they are. President Obama was right citizens have to take responsibility for who they elect to represent them on each level of government.

                have a great day all
