Love your picture with the tv for this rivalry, Ryan!
We are spending less on clothes and entertainment but still go out to eat too often. That would change if we both didn't work almost 70 hours a week. Then we'd have more time to cook and feel like doing it because we'd be home more.
We definitely spend less in 2009 than we did prior to Oct. 2008. And even with spending less, feel like we struggle, struggle, struggle.
All of our Presidents (and other 'representatives') do things that are right and do things that are wrong. Is there any one person who never makes a bad decision? In voting I would have voted for Carter and Reagan (I was too young at the time). I did vote for George H. and Clinton and Obama. I did NOT vote for George W. either time. So, as you can see, I vote for Republicans and Democrats. I am not a party line man. I vote for who I think will do the better job. And none of this is brought on by what my family's political party choice is. At age 40, I have never known who my parents have voted for, nor do I know who my siblings vote for. I make my decisions for me and what I think is best for this country.
I can clrearly state that out of all of the Presidents we've had, George W. is the biggest disappointment!
Being one who lived in IN for 26 years and now in TN for almost 14 years, I have never really been to the East coast or the West coast. Therefore, I base my decision on something that is big in the news and is huge for my life. There are 6 states that now allow same-sex marriage or union and most are East coast. Since the East coast thinks I should have equal rights, I vote East coast!
If I HAD to choose, I would choose waking up to a ghost as to an intruder. There are some real psychos in the world. An intruder may be there to steal, rape, kill (and maybe make it a slow torturous death), etc. A ghost would just scare me.
Since the vote is for comments that seem from left field, I have to say that Palin has that covered by far. It doesn't mean that Sotomayor is perfect, though.
Kind of looks like this is turning into an Obama rivalry, though.
Oh, and a comment was made that the media didn't make any noise about Michelle's $540 shoes. There may not have been a ton of coverage about it but I did read something about it at the time. It's been long enough that I don't recall where. It just made the statement that her shoes were expensive and that made her seem kind of dumb about wearing them to a food bank. It just didn't blow up like some things do.
I've always been terrified of finding an intruder in my house but since my husband got me a 38 revolver I'm not really afraid anymore. I love ghosts so they don't scare me at all.
I can handle the kids better. I was on a flight once with a very obese couple. They asked me if I would give up my aisle seat so they could have that and the window seat which left me sitting in the middle like a piece of lunch meat. They didn't smell very good and I was so squashed that I couldn't even read the book I brought. They were really nice but it was the longest flight I've ever been on. I always help parents with unruly kids by making friends with the kids and distracting them but there is nothing you can do about crowding.
Let's start with the one and only thing I agree with in your comment. Obama and Palin both have following. Okay that sums up the agreements.
Okay, the clothes. Do you honestly think she went shopping at all of those clothing stores? I sincerely hope not. Do you think she had the time to ask where did you buy those clothes? Besides that, you want to talk about wasted tax dollars what about all of these dinner dates the Obamas are taking? Are you really telling me there's no where in DC to eat. I've been there and there are plenty of places to dine. If you ask me the Obamas are disrespecting the hell out of the tax payers with these lavish trips that cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars each time and for what? To represent themselves as a cute couple. I don't know many cute couples that waste that kind of money.
It's funny you didn't seem to comment on Michelles $500 shoes worn at the food bank of all places. Talk about misrepresentation. You go to a food bank wearing shoes that could feed 150 homeless people. Now that's class!
You represent Obama as a flawless man, he is not. in fact his true colors shine through when his teleprompter malfunctions or when he's not performing a speech that was written for him. If I could offer one compliment for Obama it would be that he is one hell of a performer.
I find it a bit refreshing that she isn't an ivy league liberal programmed robot.
"Oh wait, the same people who elected her believed that George Bush (the second) had their best interest at heart!"
The same thing can be said for the chosen one and good lord you've all got it wrong. We'll ask our kids and grand children what they think (When they're born and old enough to comprehend how much debt they have that is).
Here's the reason why Palin was chastised for her clothes during the campaign: She billed herself as your average hockey mom. You tell me what hockey mom can spend $150,000 on a wardrobe! Granted she didn't purchase them, but sure as heck didn't refuse the purchases! I mean, really, if she seriously thought of herself as your average hockey mom, she would've said, "oh, those are too expensive. If I must have new clothes to reflect who I am, then let's buy them from Marshall's, Ross, TJ Maxx, JCPenny's -- something along those lines." But no, she gladly went shopping at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdales, Barney's -- all the top end department stores!
You know what's funny about this whole Palin thing - when she was introduced on to the scene, I made the comments that she appeared to be good for the Republican party, that she energized them, that she brought life back to the party and then, she opened hour mouth! Oh boy!
And here's another funny thing. Sarah Palin has a following, she has this energy about her that makes people want to be around her, be in her corner, etc. But you know what? So does President Obama! There's just something about the both of them that lures people to them. But here's the major difference - President Obama rarely says anything that makes people scratch their head in wonder. On the other hand, more times than not, when Palin opens her mouth, you're pretty much guaranteed to show a look of shock/surprise/bewilderment because you can't believe she would say something so stupid. Not to mention, she's a frickin' governor! How the heck did that happen? Oh wait, the same people who elected her believed that George Bush (the second) had their best interest at heart!
One last example. Look at what the media did to Palin for the cost of her campaign wardrobe and didn't even squeak about Michelle wearing $540 shoes to a food bank. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/29/michelle-obama-wears-silv_n_193138.html
Palin was chastised for her clothes. Clothes she didn't elect to purchase and she certainly didn't own.
