DADT AND OUR WEAK WILLED PRESIDENT

to all my dear friends, its a great day today that a federal judge has granted an injunction against DADT-DON'T ASK/DON'T TELL in a suit brought by ---DRUM ROLL PLEASE--THE LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS ---yes, u heard it and read it correctly, a group of republicans that happen to be gay challenged the law and have won a victory for gay and lez soldiers in the US ARMED FORCES.

the sad news is that it will be president obama's DOJ that will have the choice of whether they appeal it or let it stand--
HMMMMMMMM-if my slightly sexy and feeble mind recalls, it was this same doj that appealed the DOMA ACT.

someone quoted of all far left idiots-the comedian Keith oberman as somehow or nother being a basis for fact for why the prez cannot stop it--NOT

ANY U.S. SENATOR QUOTING WHY IT HASN'T BEEN DONE AS FACT--NOT

ANY HOUSE OF REPS QUOTING OR MOUTHING OFF AS TO WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE AND WANTING US TO BELIEVE IT AS FACT--NOT


i don't give a shit NOR a flying fuck why its a tad bit tricky during an election cycle--GAY AND LESBIAN AMERICANS ARE DYING EVERYDAY IN IRAQ AN AFGHANISTAN AND PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT ARE RECEIVING OUR DONATIONS AND VOTES CAN'T STICK THEIR LOUSY POLITICAL NECKS OUT TO VOTE THIS POLICY OUT.---THATS PLAIN BULLSHIT AND WE SHOULD NOT BE GIVING THEM POLITICAL COVER.

THE PRESIDENT CAN'T DO IT FOR THIS REASON AND THAT REASON

FACT: 10 U.S.C. 12305 is black and white in the power CONGRESS GAVE the President, ANY President:

"The President may suspend any provision of law relating to promotion, retirement, or separation applicable to any member of the armed forces who the President determines is essential to the national security of the United States" during a "period of national emergency," defined as a time when "members of a reserve component are serving involuntarily on active duty." Uh, that would be NOW.

the same goes for the presidents refusal to grant us equal rights in the marriage arena--i don't give a rats ass if he is opposed to it on religious grounds--i didn't fucking elect the pope a couple of novembers ago-i elected a civil head of these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

where the fuck is his head, much less his heart, his conscience. would he like it if his parents hadn't been able to marry cause one was white and one black and a kind hearted neighbor or politician told him"hey i'm with you dude, just give us time"--then again he wouldn't even be here would he.

i'm tired of my good friends that are soooooo afraid to call democrats weak kneed good for nothings --

its unbelievable that every time they have the house, the senate and the white house, they seem to go out of their way to get as little done as possible. i wish they had the fucken balls that the repubs have.

WELCOME BACK RICHARD

YEA, I KNOW I'VE BEEN ABSENT FOR A WHILE--BEEN HAVING SHOES(ISSUES) WITH MY KINDA UNSTOPPABLE DESIRE TO STUFF ALL TYPES OF CRAP INTO MY MOUTH. I'M NOT FAT-165 LBS AT 6FT --BUT I DO HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF FAT DEPOSIT AROUND MY WAIST AND THATS WHAT HAS ME BOTH PISSED AT MYSELF AND A BIT WORRIED.

I'M REALLY NOT EATING THAT MUCH CRAP- ITS JUST THAT I TEND TO EAT LARGER PORTIONS AND WHEN I GO OUT, I EAT THE LARGE PORTIONS AND THEN GO FOR A DESSERT. I'VE MANAGED TO INCLUDE LOTS OF FRUITS IN MY DAILY DIET--AN APPLE, AT LEAST ONE ORANGE AND ONE BANANA EVERYDAY ALONG WITH ABOUT A CUP OF RASBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES DAILY WITH EITHER OATMEAL AND/OR NON FAT GREEK YOGURT. DINDIN IS USUALLY A CHICKEN THIGHT BROILED WITH SPINNICH, MUSHROOM, ONION, GARLIC AND A WHOLE TOMATO WITH SOME OLIVE OIL.

MY EXERCISE ROUTINE IS A DAILY WALK/JOG OF ABOUT 3-3.5 MILES MON-FRIDAY. BUT I NOTICE THAT NOWADAYS, ITS EASY FOR ME TO FIND A REASON NOT TO DO IT, SO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY STAY ON TOP OF IT.

OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK I'VE DONE PRETTY WELL IN KEEPING MY GOALS I SET FOR MYSELF LAST YEAR.

ALSO, MY BLOGGING HAS NOT BEEN AS CONSISTANT AS I'D LIKE IT TO BE. ITS NOT LIKE THERE IS NO MATERIAL OUT THERE TO POST ABOUT--ITS JUST THAT I GET LAZY AND HAVE A TENDANCY TO PROCRASTINATE.

HE STILL IS THE PRESIDENT I VOTED FOR

"But what frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day. We cannot wage a perpetual campaign where the only goal is to see who can get the most embarrassing headlines about their opponent - a belief that if you lose, I win."

"I know it's an election year. And after last week, it is clear that campaign fever has come even earlier than usual. But we still need to govern. To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades, and the people expect us to solve some problems, not run for the hills. And if the Republican leadership is going to insist that sixty votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town, then the responsibility to govern is now yours as well. Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it's not leadership. We were sent here to serve our citizens, not our ambitions."

" This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are."

"Remember this - I never suggested that change would be easy, or that I can do it alone. Democracy in a nation of three hundred million people can be noisy and messy and complicated. And when you try to do big things and make big changes, it stirs passions and controversy. That's just how it is.
Those of us in public office can respond to this reality by playing it safe and avoid telling hard truths. We can do what's necessary to keep our poll numbers high, and get through the next election instead of doing what's best for the next generation.
But I also know this: if people had made that decision fifty years ago or one hundred years ago or two hundred years ago, we wouldn't be here tonight. The only reason we are is because generations of Americans were unafraid to do what was hard; to do what was needed even when success was uncertain; to do what it took to keep the dream of this nation alive for their children and grandchildren."

"We are strong. We are resilient. We are American."

"We don't quit. I don't quit. Let's seize this moment - to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and to strengthen our union once more."

I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO WATCHED THE SOTU TONITE AND REALIZED THAT HE WAS THE GROWN UP. HE NEEDED TO TELL BOTH THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS TO QUIT BEING SUCH SELFISH BRATS AND PUT UP OR SHUT UP. HE ALSO TOLD US COMMON EVERYDAY PEOPLE TO QUIT WHINING AND START TRUSTING THE PERSON WHO WE ELECTED TO LEAD US.

I NEED A LEADER WHO WILL NOT QUIT
WHO WILL NOT BACK DOWN TO NEGATIVITY

I AM STILL PROUD AND PLEASED THAT I TOOK THE RISK ON A LITTLE KNOWN SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS.!!

THE BALLS IN HIS COURT-DOES HE PASS OR DOES HE SHOOT

During the campaign, Obama famously told Patrick Gaspard, his political director, "just give me the ball." Today, Obama is the president of the United States. He's got a lot of people screaming at him and cheering for him, and almost as many shouting advice. But he's the guy with the ball. The question is what he does with it.

I STILL BELIEVE IN PRESIDENT OBAMA--BUT, AND THIS IS A "BUT" THAT GROWS WITH EACH PASSING DAY, I AM GETTING A BIT WORRIED THAT WE ELECTED THE NICEST GUY AROUND WITH TONS OF BRAINS, LOADS OF SEX APPEAL, AND WITH A DESIRE TO DO GOOD.. ALL SOUNDS NICE ENOUGH, ITS JUST THAT THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT(REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANTS OF THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE DONE/NOT DONE) REQUIRES HIM TO LEAD- BE IT BY CROSS PARTY LINES OR NO CROSS PARTY LINES, BY KNOCKING HEADS TO ACHIEVE HIS GOALS- WHICH BY THE WAY- ARE THE GOALS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED HIM INTO OFFICE.

I ACTUALLY CRAWLED OUT OF MY SELF IMPOSED PROHIBITION OF VOTING IN ANY AND ALL ELECTIONS BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE GOD KNOWS WHEN, I ACTUALLY WANTED TO BELIEVE WHAT THIS GUY WAS SAYING.
**WHEN HE SAID "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" I BELIEVED.
**WHEN HE SAID THAT WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL- INCLUDING GAY PEOPLE, HELL YES I BELIEVED.
**WHEN HE STATED THAT GUANTANAMO WOULD BE CLOSED BECAUSE IT WAS A STAIN ON OUR NATIONAL HONOR- I BELIEVED HIM.
**WHEN HE STATED THAT TORTURE WOULD BE STOPPED AND THAT IF IT WAS SHOWN THAT AMERICANS TORTURED, THEY WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE- I BELIEVED HIM.

what i need for President Obama to do is finally show that he is THE PRESIDENT and not as some have said, THE PRIME MINISTER leading his party. i want him to come out for something and not worry about how the wishy-washy public(the same public that elected him with a large majority) will react. he told us what he would do.

-DO IT NOW, MR. PRESIDENT
-BE PRO-ACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE
-GO FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, NOT FOR WHAT YOU CAN GET, FOR YOU WILL ONLY GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR
