Honor our heroes

I don't see a need to continue the banter it's useless...... We are getting into personal attacks. I don't like to go into that area cause noone wins. I will leave it alone and you can even have the last round. Have a good one.

I wasn't trying to attack you personally, sorry if you felt that way. I mean after all were like cyber buddies or something like that I think.

Pt we are cool! No sweat my man.

Pontooner, I think the "wrapped too tight" comment was directed at me, and I probably deserved it. Bad week.

Kumbaya, My Lord, Kumbaya....

Oh come on RT...at the first sign of anything critical of this administration you come off with stats trying to prove why GW was worse or did the same thing. Deny it as much as you want but I'll stand by my statement.

It was very clear you said not a dime of taxpayers money was spent and that just wasn't true....I just thought you should reconsider your post.

Not sure why you would get pissed about fact on racism claims when someone disagrees with this black potus. It's true and anyone who follows politics knows this. I didn't think I implied you were responsible for accusing that so relax a little I'm not in agreement of your political views but I'm not gonna call you a racist. I may be hardheaded but I don't sling that word lightly especially when there is no proof. My apology for the miscommunication.

I was also implying she footed the bill with tax payers money not hers. I could care less how she spends her money or what she does with her kids. Its her business but I just don't believe that I somehow didn't pay for something with this woman. I don't like or trust her Barry. They are crooked......

She didn't spend a dime in tax dollars. This was a private trip, paid for with private funds. With a net worth of around $10 million, she can afford it. But even if you confine your search to things that are actually TRUE, you can still find some good reasons to criticize her.

You said "She didn't spend a dime in tax dollars." Okay, You need to convince the taxpayers that Michelle Obama OWNS Air Force 2, the plane she flew on, round trip, to Europe and paid all the costs for it. You also need to convince the taxpayers that the 70 Secret Service Agents who accompanied her were on her private payroll.

How much do you think that cost her from her private funds?

I do hate to hear Obama say that he has compassion on the unemployed people and those that are suffering through this horrible economic crisis; that he is an average American and feels for them. He and Michelle have really set themselves apart as the example for CHANGE.

My initial post was to call attention to the fact that "The Whitehouse Snob" was playing (without restraints) while our troops were paying.........with their lives. Of all people, the wife of The Commander in Chief should be more sensitive to the plight of this nation and our military. jmo

DJ, what had me angry was that your post implies that I personally have called someone a racist just for criticizing Obama, something I have never done. If you'll re-read your post, I think you'll understand why I might interpret it that way. Sounds like that's not what you meant. OK fine, I'm gonna take a deep breath, sing Kum-Ba-Ya a few times, drink some koolaid, go hug a tree, and move on

Ok I wasnt going to get in this and I could care less what the first chick does but, using the deaths of American Soldiers to get a point across about the fraud, waste, and abuse in the white house is very inappropriate. It is bad enough that someone would refer to the deaths but to put their names on this board or any other board in this context is down right disrespectful. **** they gave their lives so that all you people can enjoy freedom of speach. Some of you should practice freedom of common sense.
