“I love the picture of Obama handing out candy and Chewbacca is in the background!
It looks like they had a really fun time.”

“What the First Lady is doing is amazing. Her glowing confidence, charm and warmth far exceeds that of the bookish librarian and her woolen suits and stupid husband.
Michelle is a great representative of what American women are and should strive to become.
What a great picture to send to the world.”

“omg...now I am hungry for baked sweet potato with butter, honey, maybe a little brown sugar...yum.”

“Wonder if the "stuff that would hurt her [Palin]" means the truth about who REALLY birthed Trig?”

“Where is BO?????”

“After watching Knowing last night, I think the solar flares are gunna get us.....
And like Jon Stewart said the other night, There are greater fears in 2012....
SARAH PALIN!”

“Maybe Sarah Palin could move there with her brood....The further the better!”

“yuck. that place is hideous! That bedroom view of the roof would make me want curtains asap!”

“I am from Durant, OK. I knew the FBI agent who worked on the OKC Bombing BEFORE there was a bombing. His name is Rick Ojeda. You can read some about Rick at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/05/29/60II/main293828.shtml
But he was put on leave right after the bombing.
There was a lot of White Supremacy stuff associated with this too.
Alot to this story. ALOT.
Rick is retired now. Wish he would write a book.”

“remember when Bill Clinton went to China and the GOP went apeshoot???”

“They are truly beautiful girls. They have gotten so big ! It will be a joy watching them grow up in the White House over the next 8 years....
And The President is a wonderful father, but lest we not forget the Michelle and her wonderful mother who help raise these young women!
And Bo is awesome!!!!”

“Although not recommended, kudos to the man for tackling the punk theif!
And another kudos to the woman who kicked him!!
What a brave thing to do. I'm sure that he was looking at what we were, youthful tellers who were scared and probably unable to do anything. Im sure he was willing to take out the punk to make sure he didn't hurt anyone else.

Please don't call this man stupid. It is stupid to jump into a freezing river to save a drowning woman, but the man who did that was a hero. Sometimes stupidity and heroic acts are one in the same.

Nice pounce man....”

“I had no idea!!! That explains soooo much.

but hey, Oklahoma has produced some great Americans. And Brad Henry is a really a great democratic governor. He has a bunch of morons to work with, but he is a good guy.”

“Gov. Brad Henry is a democrat. And his wife is a former school teacher. They should really get vocal on this. It's embarassing.
Henry is a good governor. He has done a lot for this state, although he does have idiots in the House and Senate.”

“Muskogee, OK.
And just a quick note on Coburn....He practiced at the same hospital my husband did for a year before the Senate told him to stop. My husband attended a meeting where Coburn was highly ticked because they mandated that all Drug Reps go through the Pharmacy director and they were no longer allowed on the floor of the hospital giving samples and gifts to doctors, nurses, etc. He was a big baby and tried to circumvent the rule by asking the reps to bring his 'stuff' to his office.”

“My daughter, who is 14 and a Freshman in High School, loves history and civics. Only, her History teacher is also the Head Coach of the High School Football team.
The other day they watched CNN all period while he chalked out plays for the handfull of players in the class....”

“Yeah, and the new billion dollar casino/resort in Durant, OK employed out of state contractors....
What a nice payback to Oklahomans.

I do not begrudge them anything. I would think they would want to be productive members of society though....

And they are well taken care of...trust me.”

“And don't be so hard on Okies....

When asked if she thought Under God should be in the Pledge, Sarah Palin said, "Well, if it was good enough for the founding fathers it's good enough for me."

"Under God" wasn't added to the Pledge until the 1950's.

And Oklahomans didn't run for Vice President......”

“Ok. Let's get something straight. I have genuine respect for Native Americans. But I see the reality.
Period. Stop calling me a 'hater'. I take care of Native Americans everyday.

They have FREE HEALTH CARE, which is wonderful. But these hospitals are scatter through the state.
Example: A girl is pregnant. She does all her pre-natal care at the Native American facility (they do refer to it as the 'Indian Hospital'). But she wants to be close to her home to have the baby. The girl chooses to wait until she is in labor, and goes to a local hospital, where they have to take her. She delivers and doesn't pay the facility or the doctor. But here is the catch...NEITHER DOES THE NATION. They are famous for sticking the bill with the state facilities or private hospitals and doctors. Simply because they didn't want to go the Nation's hospital.
So, yeah, I get a little bitter about it.
It isn't that I don't think Native Americans deserve the priviledges they are given, I believe EVERY American deserves the same if they can't afford it.
But I see hard working families who can't....and then I see Native American families living in free homes and being provided food, health care and clothing (yes, they get a card loaded with money to buy clothes on) and they don't have jobs because they don't need jobs.
Im not saying all, but the majority I know do exactly this.”

“omg...that isn't what Im saying...DAMN!!!!
And I'm sorry but the Native Americans today, couldn't give a crap less about their ancestry. You and care more than they do.”

“My 3rd grader stressed for weeks for those ridiculous tests! They had banners outside the school trying to excite the kids about taking the tests. They used art class to make tee-shirts to wear on test day.
It was insane!
She is a straight A student, is in excellerated classes and nearly freaked out because the pressure the school put on this test!
When they are learning just the necessities to pass those tests, little else seems to matter.

Unfunded mandates....of course another gift from the Bush Administration.”

“...research physicians. My husband makes Chemotherapy available to those who can't pay for it. He saves lives. I am involved in GBM (astrocytoma) research.
We aren't rich. In fact we are victims of ID theft. I drive a 99 pontiac and he has a 95 camry. We rent our house, have four children and paid 19,350 in taxes last year.
We donate our time on the weekends to free clinics. And during Katriina, we took a truckload of medications, eye washes, etc. to New Orleans.
Please do not be 'p!ssed' at me.....”

“When you have seen what I have, you might have to agree.”

“No actually. I worked my student loans off at a Indian facility. And we pay 654.93 a month for health insurance through United Health Care, who make me fill out a questionnaire everytime I get a bottle of Insulin filled.
No professional courtesy ever afforded to me.”

“And I do not "hate". I had to see this from the inside. See, the government lets you work at the NATIVE AMERICAN hospitals to pay off student loans for medical school.
So, while I may misspell a word or two, may seem uncaring and disassociated with the plight of REAL Native Americans, I am not.”
