Ok, well this is where we differ then. If I had been Bill, Hillary would have never made it to the Whitehouse. I would have divorced her sometime between super Tuesday 1992 and January 20th 1993. Then I would have played the field while in the oval office. The two times I have been single, I've been a womanizing letch. Both times I've been married, however, (including currently) I've been loyal. Being from the 60's I believe in free love, but, a promise is a promise you know.CaseyJones wrote:C'mon, Sport.

sure, I understand that part -- they had a serious WALL of bulletproof glass around him, for Pete's sake. It was enough to protect him, but not his family or his running mate? Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test. Everything about his campaign and everything about his acceptance speeches (both for the nomination AND the election) was methodically planned to the nth degree. This guy has taken the 'messiah' moniker and run with it. It's been all too obvious. Be very wary of this man...Tubetwang wrote: They did'nt mention it on CNN, but...i'll tell you why his wife and two kids kissed him and fucked off right away...
It's called "Death Threaths" my friend and the C.I.A. is takin' it seriously...

C'mon, that's just plain dumb. If you knew there was a bullet with your name on it out there would you put your family in harm's way?

Yep. And he's got my support regardless of whether I'm pre-disposed to believe the odds are against him and us from the get go. I'm afraid the office of the president of the United States has a great potential that has seldom been lived up to by it's holders. Probably because they've all been human beings.CaseyJones wrote:Like it or not the man is the President Elect.
what's 'plain dumb'? read my question again: "they had a serious WALL of bulletproof glass around him, for Pete's sake.

It probably isn't his call, anyway. It's simple math, less people in the line of fire are easier to protect, that's the Secret Service's decision. As for the rest... no comment.

Here's the thing: Who expected zealots to use commercial aircraft as weapons? There are only so many scenarios that can be anticipated. Just when any of us think we have the answers... it turns out we don't.jimipage wrote:what's 'plain dumb'? read my question again: "they had a serious WALL of bulletproof glass around him, for Pete's sake.

You likely are correct in saying that it probably wasn't his call. However, I prefer to live my life questioning things that seems questionable.
Like it or not.
and that, my friend, is what gets me out of bed every day.CaseyJones wrote: Just when any of us think we have the answers... it turns out we don't.

"Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming "America's first African-American president" ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama's great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator's ethnic composition.).
That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side."
Even if that's correct... so what?!Structo wrote:As far as BO's ethnicity, this is what I read.

The old bigots hate what they hate but the U.S. truly is a cultural melting pot. The only way to make the old bigotry work is to re-define "African" as "Arab" then kick demonization into gear. It's not even nominally honest but such are the politics of hate.Nuthin' personal! I believe you.Structo wrote: I don't think race played a part in this election as far as the white vote went.
I do believe that a lot of black people voted for him simply because he was black.
I am not a biggot!!! I have friends from many different ethnicities.
