		<description>To understand "goal oriented issues' one would have to stop looking at one's own reflection long enough to consider other's situations. As already stated we are dealing with an addictive, sociopathic, narcissistic personality disorder. And remember a pathological liar who stated that his uncle liberated Auschwitz.</description>

So it seemed a good time to find new digs and get to know a new slumlord...Kid's going off to college and I can save $$ on living large by living small and simple....Found a great studio so we are Ok. Thanks for asking....
*** Never seen an apt. rundown empty so fast and what's funny is the slumlord missed out on making any profit in a tear down....He'll be lucky if he breaks even....Sometimes there is a little justice...lol ***</description>

		<description>This not the first time BO has made really really really &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; unadvised and ignorant remarks. He has not seen what Bush asked for in 2004/5 when some folks at the pentagon "threatened" to resign en-mass...tactical nukes etc. BO has no clue. 

He is sure making BIG time mistakes.
Some one should stick yellow rookie tape on his mouth.

ginaswo still says no Uhhbama;

&lt;em&gt;"...we have to do is avoid that" choice...&lt;/em&gt;

Call me made of wood, but did he just say we need to avoid a choice...
I hate to say it, but Iran isn't going anywhere on Nukes. They have a long experience with the "west" when it comes to the "carrot and stick" thing.

Good luck BO. BO's mouth makes feel like I am pulling 5 g's...with this igit, he will never get tone.</description>

		<description>f the Department of Defense had done studies like this sooner there would be fewer dead Iraqis and Americans. As I have noted in previous blog entries, solving the immediate problem in Al Anbar does not ensure reconciliation with the Shia led government. These tribes are not friends of the Shia and do not see themselves as part of the national Iraqi government. But, at least we have a grassroots solution being put into place and the effective disengagement of U.S. troops killing Iraqis in Al Anbar. That is a step in the right direction.

About 14 years ago, our small (500 residents) in Georgia went under siege for most of a week not much time compared to the Iraqis. Our homes were shot at or into, a neighbor's dog left dying in a yard, my husband narrowly missed by a bullet while standing in the street and a bullet ridden pool (not all that happened). The first night that my husband was shot at the police responded and did nothing. The next night when another neighbor's house was shot into with the bullet ending up 2 inches over the headboard of her bed (luckily she was not in it) and other shots fired....the police responded again still not "getting" the culprits. The third night of shootings with a cop being narrowly missed (and our mayor in his closet in his house), my house was surrounded by police when I answered a knock on the door; they thought we were dead because there had been no movement in our house; I was awake but suffering from food poisoning and couldn't wake my husband or son.... prompted our city council (with many phone calls from the residents) to do something to call a meeting. I called the media the next day in Savannah GA they sent reporters out and I granted them an interview including a tour of the homes shot at broken into, etc... My husband insisted I take back the interview.
He was afraid I would become a bigger target. One of the reporters came to our city council meeting....at the end of the meeting my husband told me to let the interview be aired on the news. He even added somethings to it. We took back our neighborhood by alerting the media, the city council was ineffective (they posted a sheriff in the center of town...he rarely patrolled the town) and the sheriff's department took us seriously after the first night (it could have been stopped the first night if the sheriff who responded to the 911 call had got out of his car and pursued the culprit). After the first night I had decided a course of action...and followed it as each night progressed...and it took a lot of pressure to make the sheriff to do anything too! I organized the neighborhood. We had family and friends demand the sheriff do something. Some of us even visited the sheriff's department. It worked. Why did it work, because I developed a mission statement and a goal and the steps needed to complete the goal.

I think Obama doesn't understand goal oriented issues. The military didn't just go write down a bunch of stuff then brainstormed....and out came that report.... like in my situation with the support of the sheriff's department finally we were able to end the reign of terror....when you have support like the tribes did with our military it enables them....remember a great lady....Hillary Clinton's book It Takes A Village....same in Iraq same in Georgia for me......</description>

		<description>The bushbots would excuse the stupid remarks of their chosen one -- just like the Obamabots excuse the stupidity of THEIR chosen one. 

  It is really rare to be able to watch both sides of the same coin at the same time. 

  WE see the Obamabots acting like bushbots -- but they can't see past their beloved leader (monster).</description>

		<description>I like to post this because every time I heard about obama and foreign relations it holds true. Obama's foreign relations is akin to "can't we all just get along", and Alfred E. Neuman's " What, Me worry?".

Oh and the convention cannot come fast enough for obama. If he keeps going the way he is, then the week of the convention obambi will be trailing mccain. Then what will the delegates do? Hell, place HRC's name for nomination and let her become the nominee and lets go out and win this thing.</description>
