    And you come here periodically to ankle bite and hurl insults from the cheap seats without contributing substantially to the discussion . The board does very well without you .

    Indeed I am. On the other hand, have you figured out my pocket knife and Q-tip reference yet?

    NK, George W. Bush was the latest Yaley in the White House. Barry went to Columbia.

    Yale students = Elis (after Yale benefactor Elihu Yale)

    I'd rather be a Columbia grad. Elis are generally rich kids and snobs.

    Are you saying that someone shouldn't keep your constant spreading of FUD in check? I hope not. You should not get carte blanche to continue whining about everyone who does share the same particular political affiliation as you.

    Ok, how do you propose the situation be handled?

    But Nobama doesn't do that either. Has he been to the shore? Has he visited the restaurateurs who this affects? Has he talked to the tourists who have lost money on their vacations because they booked them prior to the oil spill?

    He's afraid to get his pretty manicured nails dirty.

    Not like Bush. Bush was in the trenches of New Orleans after Katrina. Would Obama do that? Did Nobama actually visit Nashville during the floods?

    Yes, and the fishermen.

    Yes (but not all of them).

    Yep, Bush is well known for his handling of Katrina:

    BTW using "nobama" makes you sound like a child.

    Has Nobama been "in your face" like Bush was with 9/11 or Katrina? No, he hasn't, he's afraid to get his clothes dirty.

    So you want your president to be a down-home farm type in overalls?

    Okay, the Hussein then. I don't like the man, never have, never will. His approval rating is declining rapidly.

    Hatred is a nasty thing - you should let it go lest it cloud your judgement.

    Yup, I do. I want a man who can relate to the common family. My family lived a very comfortable lifestyle prior to my getting an education. Since the election, and my induction from blue collar to professionalism, my family has been suffering terribly.

    I could go on, but I have privacy issues to deal with. At least I have chicken patties in the freezer to feed the kids tonight.

    NK, you don't have to worry about that. You don't live here.

    I don't HATE anyone. It's not in my vocabulary. Now, dislike is.

    At least Obama's Gallup rating isn't quite as far down as Bush's lowest at 29 yet.
