Obama is who he surrounds himself with. He said so in one of the debates when enumerated all these supposedly mainstream people he planned to surround himself with. Whack job advisors like Lloyd (co founder with Ayers of the Weather Underground), Jones (avowed communist), Holdren (the "science" czar who made the case for forced abortions and sterilization in the heady 70's), EZ-kill Emmanuel (Rahm's brother who thinks the "Do No Harm" part of the Hippocratic Oath should be replaced by statistical analysis of peoples' usefulness to society), and countless others, were curiously not mentioned in the "judge me by who I surround myself with" challenge. > > Supposedly they nixed that, claiming (what else?) a miscommunication, > but > > they still haven't fixed the spelling of "Schoochildren." > -------------------- > > You miss took ebonics here I think that spelling is along the lines of: > Schoo Chlren.

Writing the president about what you think, and writing yourself about what you can do to help the president and obey what he wants you to do, are, I contend, vastly different exercises. - Bob > -- > Stephen Russell > Sr. Production Systems Programmer > SQL Server DBA > Web and Winform Development > Independent Contractor > Memphis TN > > 901.246-0159 > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
