Where on earth did George W. go or this one is absolutely for "REAL" my fine countrymen. What a unique village we live in. Oh OK, lets not think about this until the next need for another "True Squash of what could be called a major "Who Dropped The Cranberry Relish?"

Bottom Line: Another perfect story line as Georgie and the Mrs. mosey on back to Texas, as you can still here a pin drop on the Beltway. Oh well lets see, another few years Mr. Bush and his ratings will be back on the upswing, Jeb will be gearing up. Bama will still connect with Ala and I'll still be the BAD GUY because I acquired an iatrogenic neuro disease/disorder and I'm still alive as most are not. In fact my Death Certificate will not be a manufactured lie. G-d Bless To All....

I am a Democrat who sees Obama for what he really is - all of the things and more I listed above. The nation as a whole is not in any shape in love with him. He's as bad as Teddy Kennedy and many others. How can anyone believe thathe is ignorant to the rampant corruption in Illinois? His aids are liars, also. It's obvious to anyone with their eyes open.

I see a different character in Obama. He is a person who will not divert from good and planned activities and risk his image because an associate or friend is involved in corruption at the expense of Americans.

Obama knows so well that all the world's eyes are on him and a lot is expecterd out of him and mostly the impossibles.

He has probably warned everybody close to him to desist from corupt activities or face an exe and a whip, tough for Blajogo...?.
