Will Obama sit with his puppet masters soon and develop an actual identity for him?
Right now Obama has everyone in America confused. One minute he is stealing from the Jimmy Carter playbook about being a Washington outsider who is going to 'shake up the way we do business'. The next minute he is channeling Bush's faith-based initiatives. he has spend a lifetime grabbing guns, and now says he has ALWAYS supported the 2nd Amendment. FISA, Campaign Finance, Welfare reform, Iraq, Iran (wasn't it just weeks ago he said iran wasn't a threat?)....I can't even keep up with the flip-flops, and I'm brilliant! Oprah and George Soros need to sit Obama down and tell him who he needs to be for crissakes!
He switchs positions because he thinks he will get more votes. But every time he switchs, he loses people (only those who didnt drink the kool aid). By the time nov. comes around, he will adopt all of McCains positions on the issues and call them his own just like he did to Hillary. Thats why he is afraid to debate McCain, he does not have the experience, know how, or good judgement to be president.

Elizabeth Edwards & Pre-Marriage Negotiations: Ideas For Tomorrow's Brides?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Elizabeth Edwards is doing a GINORMOUS media tour to promote her new book Resilience that allegedly details her husband’s alleged extramarital affair. (I use the word “alleged” because both Edwards are lawyers, and I want to keep my Ungirdled ass fully covered, plus I feel rather lawyery myself using the word.)
I’ve been thinking a lot about Elizabeth Edwards’ interview with Oprah that aired on Oprah and appeared in O Magazine. You can’t help but feel awful for Elizabeth. I mean REALLY! I'm surprised John Edwards can find britches that can accomodate the size of the pair he's (allegedly) sporting. Yet, you also can’t help but wonder why she would dredge all this up again when she is terminally ill and has two young children who will undoubtedly (allegedly) suffer from having all this hit the media all over again.
Another thing struck me about the interview with Oprah. A lot of emphasis was placed on the fact that the only thing Elizabeth Edwards asked of her husband when they got married was that he be faithful. Not that he provide her with a big ring, a large home, lots of kids, unlimited hot Krispy Kremes, just that he be faithful. I think most of us would say we didn’t think to ask this of our potential spouses when we were getting married – we thought of it as a given. Actually, I was too dumb to ask for anything. The whole thing's got me thinking about what I would ask my husband-to-be if I had it to do all over again, especially knowing what I know now. When it comes to marriage, I feel I won the husband lotto. Still, the idea of negotiating and asking about certain things beforehand is a really good one. Following is the start of my list. I’m wondering what would be on yours. Perhaps sharing our lists with our nieces, daughters, granddaughters and goddaughters could spare them some unpleasant marital surprises.
- Are you aware that, unlike you, female-type people need more than a total of three pairs of shoes, that black running shoes, black flip-flops and black sling-backs are very different animals? So, when we are invited to a wedding, and I say I am going shopping for a pair of black shoes to go with my dress, I don’t want you to point at my Crocs and say, “Just wear the black pair you already have!”
- Will you be able to muster up enough patience to spend ¼ of the time you’re willing to spend in Radio Shack in the grocery store when we’re running errands?
- Do you think you might ever feel that movies without extreme violence, multiple explosions and female nudity could be worthy of viewing?
- When I am obviously upset about something, can you possibly consider the reason why might be something other than: A) I am on my period; B) I am about to start my period; or C) I am just overdue for one of your “massages.”
- When we’re preparing for a dinner party, do you think you might be able to help out in some way other than straightening the garage no one will see or buying yet another pair of stereo speakers?
- Do you realize that while men think God never made such a thing as an ugly NAKED woman, no matter what her size and shape,females tend not to think of bare male parts as worthy of being on display in the Louvre? Thanks for your constant willingness to parade them around just the same.
- Are you aware that if you parade your male parts around any other woman while we’re married, I cannot promise you I won’t go Lorena Bobbitt on said parts and perhaps put them on display someplace separate from the rest of you?
I think Elizabeth Edwards had a good idea about laying out her number one expectation for John. Maybe she should have followed up with what her retaliation for not fulfilling that expectation would be. Now everyone, including the Edwards children, is being reminded that paybacks are hell.
