Comments on: Meet Obama's Right-Hand Woman

Close Obama Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Perhaps The Most Powerful Woman In Chicago After Oprah, Talks With Katie Couric

[peterp111]

Obama has no record of his own, except for a pathetic 143 days of US senate experience. With no national history of his own, his only option is to keep slamming the other guy.

This is a Commander-In-Chief election in a world which is growing more dangerous. Obama is unfit and unqualified.

I think obama has already shown the evil, i just don''t understand why more Americans can''t see it.

For once Michelle is right, don''t get ahead of yourself- "pride before a fall" and all that. Besides, the media will pounce on Obama the minute he makes a huge error and that will come-

I have faced death and lived thru hell so i have no fear. Nothing in the future could be worse that that i already know. Now i marvel at the beauties of the world and everything that is so breathtaking. They talk of seven wonders, that is a fairy tale, there are so many more than seven. I awake each day and feel it is a new challenge. When we cease to learn then we cease to exist. By having faced the evil, i can now see the light.

I am amazed that Katie Couric still has a job. I guess the ratings aren''t low enough or HGTV hasn''t called her yet.

I often think of the evils in war and the evils i have done. I can hope some turned out to be for a good reason. Today i like to try to do good things whenever i can , maybe it will make up for some of the bad things i have done in life. I can only hope. I also hope to see our nation great again and not destroyed by the evils of mankind. I went to a monastery that had thousands of monkeys running wild. I bought a hundred dollars worth of food to take to them. We unloaded it and backed away. They came and took it all. They will let you get within about 6 foot before they run away. I like seeing animals live in the wild. We keep taking the land and they have to survive however they can. It isn''t fair.

Perhaps i misjudged you. It would appear you are quite scholarly. My apologies if i offended.

I never cared for fame, only that i acted accordingly with honor. My gola in life is to look back and be able to say i accomplished most of what i wanted and i am satisfied. If i can do that i can leave this world in peace. I told my children i want my epitath to read :
DO NOT SHED TEARS BECAUSE I DIED, SMILE AND REMEMBER WHY I LIVED.

My oldest son graduated second in his class at law school, my oldest daughter graduated with honors from college and is an executive with World Bank today, my youngest daughter in her own right is a genious, never needed help with homework from day one, taught herself to speak fluent Russian in six months, passed the army language test, was offered 63k to enlist as a linquist, turned it down because she wanted to be a cop like daddy. Now she is pursuing her college career at 19. My youngest is brilliant with cars and computers but is still looking for his particular niche in life. I only hope the best for him as well as the others.

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin%u2019, bullets loadin%u2019
You%u2019re old enough to kill, but not for votin%u2019
You don%u2019t believe in war, but what%u2019s that gun you%u2019re totin%u2019
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin%u2019

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don%u2019t believe
We%u2019re on the eve
of destruction.

Don%u2019t you understand what I%u2019m tryin%u2019 to say
Can%u2019t you feel the fears I%u2019m feelin%u2019 today?
If the button is pushed, there%u2019s no runnin%u2019 away
There%u2019ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, it''s bound to scare ya boy]

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don%u2019t believe
We%u2019re on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my blood%u2019s so mad feels like coagulatin%u2019
I%u2019m sitting here just contemplatin%u2019
I can%u2019t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don%u2019t pass legislation
And marches alone can%u2019t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin%u2019
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin%u2019

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don%u2019t believe
We%u2019re on the eve
of destruction.

I think the problem is the parties think they can jam who they want down our throats and we have no alternative but to accept who they want. If this doesn''t change in the next few months i could see the American people taking back their government.

i guess teroismlamx slunk away somewhere.

I don''t trust Obama. He seems packaged and is rather furtive about his goals and policies. When questioned, he responds with beautiful platitudes. He says nothing%u2026but he says it beautifully.

I''m quite certain that I don''t like his wife, his (former) pastor (currently residing under the bus) or his home-grown terrorist affiliations and his new corporate friends, but McCain represents still more of the same failed Republican policies that our present traitorous Deserter-in-Chief has foisted on America and the world, almost bankrupting us in the process.

Lousy choice...lousy political system! Our cash-driven system continually presents us with negative, which guy is worse-type choices.

I refuse to believe that these are the two most qualified people to lead us. I refuse to believe that America has been completely lost to corrupt politicians, their corporate masters and a Supreme Court that spends its time figuring out how special interest looting is technically not illegal.

We%u2019re better than that%u2026or at least we were.

I agree but i also wonder if too many have turned away from the true path of righetousness for self greed.

[patriot12436]

Right now i am wondering if we are on the brink of destruction.

I guess you are doing everything possible then by doing nothing. I was really hoping for something really profound, you know klike some wisdom you had written yourself not pasted from someone else.
