“She...
quit 4 schools
quit journalism
quit being governor
quit the Border's Book signing
quit the Turkey Trot

the list gets longer and longer... what will she quit next? Oh wait, didn't she say she quit being Republican because they're not conservative enough? So what is she if she's not that? Should we call the party Conservative Quitters?”

“lol. That is cute.”

“er, given, not giving.”

“Don't jump on me... I'm not a republican, but I do have an example... Richard Nixon. HE passed the international bioweapons convention because he realized the dangers there, and he also passed laws prohibiting the use of the developmentally disabled for research purposes (prior to that, many developmentally disabled kids in institutions had been giving hepatitis B, just so researchers could study the 'natural course of the disease...­' SICKENING).”

“It's more than that, though. If I didn't have group insurance, I couldn't get insured, all because of pre-existing conditions.”

“healthy citizens who aren't broke?”

“Bingo. Arianna is hardly being fair. Obama _IS_ carrying out his promise.”

“Doesn't Ariana remember Obama saying that the Taliban in Afghanistan would be the priority in the war efforts, rather than Iraq lies? He IS doing differently from Bush. Bush made up lies about Iraq and waged war there splitting the focus, and likely allowing Bin Ladin to escape. He brought focus AWAY from where those responsible for the 9/11 attacks were hiding.

However, at this point, things are such a mess that focusing anywhere is likely a moot point. When the region was destabilized by Bush's war with Iraq, the Taliban took advantage of it. Who knows where the core group is now?”

“Well, the caption does say it's half cooked. However, if an oven bag is used to roast a turkey or foil is removed, it may not brown as much and could look like that.”

“the dress he did for Michelle is the best, hands down. Absolutely stunning on FLOTUS!”

“And the flu vaccine isn't grown in vero cells. IT's grown in chicken eggs.”

“I had my swine flu vaccine on Saturday. No ill effects. This vaccine is made via the same technique as seasonal flu vaccine, and therefore has over 2 decades of use and testing. In the USA, due to opposition to the use of adjuvants like thimerosol, adjuvants have not been used... so no mercury.

Most side effects are due to the immune response to the vaccine, and are mild... aches, headache, et. al.

Yes, some people will die or get sick after getting the vaccine, but these cases are mostly coincident­al... such people would likely have died or become ill from the same conditions whether vaccinated or not. you can also still get the flu. You can get other strains, or you can still get it in the first weeks after the vaccine as it takes time for the immune response to mount.

I really wish people would do their research before saying things against the vaccine. Avoid the nasal if you are in certain risk groups, since it's a live vaccine. Avoid the shot if you're allergic to eggs, since that one is grown in eggs (or be pre-treated for that allergy before getting it).”

“The US version of the vaccine isn't using adjuvant this time... no thimerosol, etc.”

“There was a PE requirement at Colorado State when I was there (2 semesters required), but it wasn't linked to BMI at all, and there were alternate courses someone could take if they were unable to participate in athletics (like a quadriplegic friend I had there). In my case, my varsity athletics (track & Cross Country) counted for my PE credits, but my horseback riding and scuba courses would have counted for that too.

I see nothing wrong in a PE requirement. I think it's a good way to get people active. However, tying it into BMI is rather discriminatory. Just make it apply to EVERYONE, not just those with higher BMI's.”

“Obama buys all her clothes with her own money. Unlike a certain republican I won't mention.”

“Her best dress yet! Absolutely STUNNING!!!”

“Those trillions were approved by the Bush administration, and even McCain pushed the package. I think it's unfair that Arianna is laying all of this on Obama and Dems, when the Repugs had far more to do with the situation than any Dem. Bear in mind, it was the Bush administration that originally got us into this mess!”

“The grandmother does talk about the insurance situation and her own in the video. It wasn't an opt out situation.”

“The insurance company's stance is completely absurd. Depressed people can still have fun, or try to. Before people start criticizing Canada's universal coverage, though, know that Manulife is a private company in Canada offering supplemental coverage..­. and it's acting like many US companies.”

“FYI, I'm not a democrat. I'm independent. And what I said isn't liberal ideology. It's REALITY.”

“exactly. IT's crazy how the supremacists et. al. are "troubled" etc. while anything similar involving Islamics is terrorist.”

“She appeared all right... then she disappeared.”

“agreed.”

“From the article: "His health kept getting worse, and Ada Webb said she begged hospital officials to keep him after doctors treated his knee injury in March. But the couple had no way to pay and were sent home."

Clearly the care was wanted, but lack of insurance prevented it. Yes, he died from morbid obesity, but you don't know all the facts. Maybe he had Cushing syndrome or another medical condition that caused it. Not all obesity is the result of diet and activity levels, and such things could have been diagnosed and treated if he'd had health insurance.”

“My gerbils have more fun things than THAT... they have little houses they can EAT, and tubes to run through!”
