“They gained access to a secured area by under willfully false pretenses. That's trespassing. You could look it up. They fact that they were artful enough liars to fool the Secret Service is no defense.”

“It is totally against the law. Its called trespassing.”

“You are correct, JJK...but there does seem to be an alarming incremental breach in security for this president. I join others who say this has to stop, no matter who is president.
I hope the facts will be made known.”

“You're right - I meant Secret Service (it's late ;-) And you're almost certainly right about the crashers, too.”

“We also have a foreign Head of State on US Soil. India - the country where a year ago there was a terrorist attack.

The Secret Service not only exposed OUR President - but this could have been an International disaster. I'm sure every Head of State who visits the US from this day forward will no longer have that sense of safety.

The Secret Service not only lost some of our respect - but I think they lost some International prestige as well.”

“I absolutely agree with everything you have said.”

“Get a life, you want to see her in a LL Bean granny dress?”

“Maybe they're trying to bring some of the jobs back?!”

“Eisenhower helped boom the US economy and satisfy the debt in the aftermath of WWII by raising the top tax bracket to 91%.”

“never liked it. but i'm very into cornbread stuffing if it isn't too sweet. I like stuffing to be savory but a lot of southerners just can't help themselves.

Then again, it's northerners who make cornbread with sugar, not southerners.

and sweet potatoes--good ones--are plenty sweet without the "candied" part that so many people like---with the brown sugar-egg mixture they pour over 'em. Some people use marshmallows which I think REALLY ruins 'em. But other folks swear by 'em. Guess it all depends on how your mother makes 'em.

My mom's dressing is a straightforward bread dressing, savory and sagey--perfect every time. With the giblet gravy poured over it. Actually she makes two pots of gravy--one with, one without.”

“Hmmm... never had it... Always wondered what it tasted like.”

“Don't feel too bad, they have some extra help in the kitchen.”

“how does it "look like" someone worked for a promotion?”

“That's like saying Bush was the Queen of England. Both statements would be False.”

“I beelive you are corrct...I remember a chart I saw a few months back that showed the inflation adjusted MEDIAN price of a home in the US since the 1920's.

it was always between $125,000- $150,000.

until basically the late 1990- 2000 era.

for housing to be corrected properly it has to get there again. Good news is we are most of the way there already and the biggest drops left are oin the McMansion type homes and in very OVER-PRICED areas.

here's a chart that comes close but only goes back to like the 1970's

“The act which he admitted to is basically 'statutory rape'. A 13-year-old can NOT give consent to sexual activity under the law. That's way it's called 'statutory rape'. The sissy prosecutor called it something else. And, never dealt with were the matters of Mr. Polanski sodomizing the girl. And, drugging her with alcohol and Qualudes (which are known to lessen sexual inhibitions).

These are very serious charges which get most people (not the elites of society, though) very long prison sentences (decades, sometimes life).

That's what Mr. Polanski did. He admitted it. He has said he likes 'young girls', and doesn't understand what all the hoopla is about.”

“Ho! Ho! Ho!

HIYOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOO­OO!”

“LOL I was thinking the same thing.”

“Who, the pedophiles and anti-abortion killers?”

“India/U.S. relations, that was the focus of the dinner, that is why it is "front page" news. The PM of India was the person in whose honor the dinner was held. You're familiar with India, yes? India, as in our ally, our much needed ally. India, the 2nd largest democracy after us, whose population is about to exceed that of China. India, whose cooperation on climate change initiatives is imperative. India, who along with Pakistan, possesses nuclear weapons, in a region rife with instability. Get the importance now?”

“Just because every president does it doesn't make it right.”

“Just four things you seem to overlook that are very important to human beings, especially those in positions of power.

First, the pomp is necessary to demonstrate the wealth of a people by the wealth of its leader. It has been so through out time. The important telling thing about the example of wealth is how is it projected. It can be gaudy, brash or ostentatious among hundreds of other things. This affair was different, modern and presented with the theme of honoring the guest; not the host (as during all of the Bush state dinners). The presentation and images received in India will further endure those people to our leader; making political points for us.

Second, the quality of the content of the program, the food chosen and the guest list. Our CIA, FBI and other agencies are aware of "people" the India contingent liked and would want to "rub elbows with". More points.

Third, the enjoyment of the event as a special one that impressed the guests. The people clearly were enjoying themselves and were not just being politically correct.

Fourth, as a New Yorker I understand most deals are made over breaking bread.

When you add it all up those things play into the confidence, trust and ability of the negotiator; one of our President's necessary and vital skills. Just because the media doesn't know what was said of consquence doesn't mean nothing was.”

“I think it's because the Obamas are such a class act, a break from the stuffy old-style protocols of previous administrations, and they are just really fun and exciting to watch. They are our number one glam couple, and they are upbeat, positive, inclusive and charming.

And it's kind of fun to watch the wrong-wingers poo their panties.”
