"give peace a chance"

Hmmmmm. *We've had 9 months of "give" so far, and peace in the near
future seems to be more rare than a snowball in hell. *He has NOT
closed Gitmo. *Why? *Because it IS the logical place to keep captured
combatants. *We are still in Iraq and now the enemy seems emboldened to
continue that war. *We are losing in Afghanistan and it does not look
like he is going to take his generals advice. *Even some of his
staunchest allies have told him to act quickly with getting those 40k
troops in country. *But he seems indecisive, unsure. *He can certainly
talk a good show, but so far in 9 months, *having both Houses with a
decidedly Dem advantage, he has done little.

It seems to me (and to many of my friends, both Dem and Repub) that
Pelosi and Reid are running the show. *THEY seem more powerful than he.

Also, he has not addressed the unrest in this country. *The 300,000
people that marched on DC recently was unaswered by him and most of the
press. *Why is that? *If he is THEIR president, he has to answer. *
Those people were voting Americans, many whom had voted for him, and
many others who were Dems. *A protest of that size should not go
unnoticed.

The Nobel Prize is a political one and you should know that, Jeff. *
Yassar Arafat a Nobel winner? *Gimme a break. *He was one of the
biggest non-peace keepers in the world. *Reagan opened the Iron
Curtain, saw the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, and the demise of the
Soviet Union and he didn't win it? *Politics and agenda. *The Peace
Prize is a farce.

I am happy that you are proud of him. *I wish I could be. *But, he must
DO something first, not give me a bunch of promises and words. *He's
still stumping the hustings, campaigning. *Someone has to tell him that
the "I inherited this" is over and that he has to do something instead
of bitch and moan like Fortenberry.

In other news: *Joanne and I have just about settled on a beautiful
home on a ridge in North Georgia with an unbelievable view from south
to north overlooking several smaller ridges and two or three mountain
ranges. *They just seem to keep on coming as you look west. *The sunset
is beautiful. *The home is in a gated community surrounded by the
Chattahoochee Nat'l Forest. *Dukes Creek is around the corner, with
Fontana Lake about an hour and a half away. *We'll keep the Yankee home
and use (hopefully) this one in the winter.

Idiot.

Pig.
