I have to admit I was surprised by the protests in Egypt. I had no idea the people were so dissatisfied with their government and leader. I can’t help but wonder if I had my head in the sand, or, if it’s a case of the American news media not being concerned with foreign issues [...]

Don’t you think the Republicans are a bunch of cunts? There are millions of unemployed people and the Republicans are threatening to filibuster all legislation until the Democrats give tax cuts to the highest-earning 2% of the nation.

The man can deliver a great speech. I liked most of what Obama said. I’m not going to provide a political analysis. There are other blogs that will a better job of the analysis than I can. I will say I think the republicans are still acting like a bunch of bitchy queens.

John McCain attacked President Obama over the cost of new fleet of 28 helicopters. I guess he didn’t realize that former President Bush approved the requisition for the helicopters. McCain, once again, made a fool out of himself. I am so thankful McCain lost the election.
