btw,

The dance is over. The gown is in storage. The alcohol has been dumped in the urinal.

It's time for Obama to put up or shut up about same sex marriage; no more perpetual war (as he strikes in Yemen on inauguration day); and get sincere about climate change.

Is he all talk on the big day? I think so. Lofty ideals until reality smacks him.

Talk about the leaders of the world fiddling while Rome burns.

They all promise us what we want to hear, and yes reality is that we will get some but not all.

I can go on..but...it falls on deaf ears.

We'll see.

Obama blows hot air about global warming.

New data proves that the climate crisis is getting worse--but Barack Obama is committed to saving corporate profits before protecting the environment.

I should start a thread on Hot Air.

Some people are never happy a d sounds like sour grapes. What Obama has accomplished in 4 years is staggering.

Biden would be a great president.

I would wait and see what his proposals and platform were, and then look at who is running against him, and look at their proposals and platforms, and then see how they differ on taxes, foreign policy, defense spending, education, health care, etc.

Then if Biden were to have the better proposals, I'd vote for him.

You may not think he is "smart" as you put it or "class", but he towers in both intelligence, class, compassion than any Republican that was running in the primaries during the last election cycle and their chosen candidate was just as much of a disaster as the rest of the GOP wanna be's.

As a matter of fact, can't think of a Republican in a heck of a long time that I would put above Joe Biden as a candidate.

The man is HUGELY respected by both sides of the aisle in Washington. He is know to be a man who can broker a deal and get things done....not easy in Washington.

He understands service, one of the few "up there" with a son in the military. He is a man of faith and character.

His temperament is right for the job and his experience is legion but could he garner the type of support necessary to hold the WH another 4-8 years...... dunno. Lots would depend on who was on the other side...someone like Ryan amd he's a shoe in.

That said, he'd be my second choice. I'm pushing for Hillary all the way. Especially since she held her own today against the crazy GOP men.

lily"""""""" He's been in congress since he was 29. Iwould certainly not take the word of an obviously right wing guy who's son was killed."

The fact that the man has been in congress doesn't prove his intelligence to me........maybe the lack of same by those who voted for him.

lily, I don't believe a father who just lost his son is going to be thinking politics and lie about Biden saying something like this to him. And what does his being on the Glen Beck show have to do with it? Your comment is almost as bad as Biden's.......where is that compassion that you always brag about lily? Appears to me that the hatred oozing out of so many of your post must have covered it up..

Here is what the mother of Tyrone Woods said about that same meeting--and please note: This snippet is from your own link that you posted above.

[The father's] recollection of the reception differs sharply from that of Tyrone's mother, who last month took to Facebook to praise the officials who organised the event.

Writing about the repatriation of her son's body, Cheryl Croft Bennett said: . . . .
'Little did I know that I would find myself in a reception room being comforted, hugged, and, yes, even kissed by the President of the United States. Along with the President, there was Vice-President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and General and Mrs Colin Powell.

'They were all wonderful. They held my hand, offered condolences, gave warm hugs, and were extremely compassionate and genuinely sad for my loss, as I fought back tears and tried to project an image of strength to honor my SEAL son.'


Interesting that the father, who radiates hostility about anything and everything to do with the Obama/Biden administration, interpreted everything negatively, while the mother who seems to have no bone to pick with Obama/Biden had nothing but praise and gratitude to express.

I notice, however, that Mom had a different name than Dad did--divorced? Maybe that article gives a hint at why Mom wanted to divorce Dad? Just maybe?

At any rate, Lady Brat, you obviously omitted half the story.

Kate

His mother's story tells it like it really was because ALL the many stories of Obama meeting families who are grieving are the same.

Then it must follow that you did not vote for Romney?

Only 1/2 the story? Shocker.

PS....sense of humor required.

Thanks; I think.

Meanwhile, I have funnier things to do--like wash the kitchen floor.

Kate

No offense intended Kate, I think the videos are incredibly clever and hilarious. Since the video is set up as a campaign type ad I thought it was fitting.
