Basically over is right. But having 5 grandchildren does carry
the responsibility of parental support and I try to do what I can
to light the fire of personal responsibility under them all.
After all in the future somebody needs to take care of this

I was able to track down part of the "original speech." Who knew he was going to reveal so much! It's too bad the folks on the far-right made him change it.

Published version:

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.

Original version:

I know that feeling. I was born in a small village in Kenya, but when I was a little older, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to send me to a Islamic Madrassa, Monday through Friday – for 12 hours every day.

Since when do we feel we have to protect our youth from the President of the United States? Why are we treating our highest elected official like some type of criminal intent on brainwashing our children? If we are so terrified of what this man believes, why did people elect him president?

Opponents of Bush displayed the same level of bitterness for choices he made during his presidency. However, no one went so far as to accuse him of trying to corrupt the minds of children in the country he served. We usually reserve that level of vitriol for cult leaders and child molesters.

Some of this stuff is pretty sad.............

Well, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...

Barry, the problem is what is perceived by the general public what the POTUS and his staff and his policies are in same cases contradictory to what he promised. The honeymoon is over for POTUS and the general public does not appear to approve his recent policies.

Why is that news? Every election produces the same results.

I promise this.......
I promise that
But little of it get's done.
No surprise there.

But really like I said the level of vitriol displayed
by some people is usually for cult leaders and child molesters.
For people engaging in this type of behaviour, I can tell you
"what goes around comes around"

Well, the Chicago-style politics is not going over too well with the rest of the country. Nevertheless, I agree that all politician promise this and promise that and things...and no, you can't blame all this vitriol on Fox News...which I find quite funny when Gibbs speak...I think POTUS needs to get a better Press Secretary IMHO. But, the POTUS have been associated with some radical people in his lifetime in the past...whether that makes him radical remains to be seen...but maybe POTUS's past is coming out to haunt him as well...

The U.S. has traditionally been a center-right country and having lots of left-based policies has gotten people from both sides riled up. This healthcare debate really set things on fire.

I'm curious if POTUS has any new significant details to bring out without misrepresenting doctors and deriding them as he did with some of his speeches. Either he is ignorant or his staff is ignorant on how doctors work, but I will tell you that he was quite mis-informed with how most doctors think and practice. We do not think like trial lawyers...

I don't know if it"s Chicago-style politics is not going over too well with the rest of the country.
I believe it's just a few people banging the drums of
discontent, and the media having fun highlighting these squeaky
wheels.

All things are possible though. Politics not withstanding, imo
some of these vitriol spewing people are setting themselves
up for a serious Karma adjustment.

If this President is successful in what might be considered
a favorable agenda and people see the results, some
of these negative talking folks will be sucking wind and suffering from
the results of "what goes around comes around".

The whole thing is comical on the one hand and sad on the other.
Honestly I have never seen anything like it.........

QS, I am sorry if my Hitler comment bugs you, but I recognize this kind of politics from growing up in a country that tried to stop it years ago. As far as I am concerned, the sooner we get it in the open and deal with it , the less we will have to do later. For those who want to continue to glaze over his attempts to socialize this country will more easily get on his bandwagon. For once lets air everything out before we give over all our freedoms.
I am no cultist, I am a realist. And I don't spew...

I'm sorry Obama bugs you. I didn't vote for him but I understand
why losers are angry and so does every other sensible person. The only
difference there is with people who call him a socialist is they don't
have the guts to say what they really mean so they only thing they can
say without demonizing themselves is socialist and hitler.

Obama certainly isn't the first Democrat running for president to
be accused of communist sympathies. And as usual, the accusations are
rarely linked to policy specifics. But the difference with Obama is that,
in the eyes of the right, it's not just his political affiliation that implicates him as a socialist
but again no one has the guts to say what that is.

So what's the point of calling Obama Hitler or socialist? No one
else but the 6 people who share that view is going to care and
nobody is going to change their minds.........
