Random Comments

well, if crowley didnt voice his opinion like a mature adult, then he acted stupidly.

This doesn't answer the question. It doesn't matter what Crowley's opinion was. It doesn't matter that the two incidents are really different. What I'm asking is, why would Obama get a pass for having an opinion on one and not the other? Neither situation required presidential comment, however, he exercised his right as an American to free speech and gave an opinion.

I'd hate to think it's because in one situation he's defending a black man and in the other a white girl. One doesn't get a pass and the other does.

BTW, I'm taking this to the discussion area. It's not random enough anymore.

How about this, what Obama said was not meant for the public ears to hear. It was said off the record while doing CNBC interviews, ABC tweeted the comment without knowing that it was off the record.   I'm sure that there are MANY things that the President says that are not meant for public ears.   Let's take it one step further.  Maybe he wasn't defending a white girl, maybe he was defending women.  West humiliated two women that night, one black, and one white. 

In the former, when Obama expressed his opinion, it wasn't off the record, and he didn't know the details of the actions taken.

I don't know about getting a pass, but it looks to me that he wasn't speaking without thinking this time.

Anybody volunteer to come and clean the carpet in the other half of the room I'm finishing up today?   

[Sandy Eggo]

Sure, be right there.

You're sure up early.  Isn't there a 3hr time difference 'tween here and there?

[Sandy Eggo]

Yep, I have to be up by 4:30 to get my daughter and myself ready by 6:00 to be at work by 6:30. That is if I can "sleep in". Normally I wake up an hour or more before that unable to go back to sleep. I guess that's insomnia, but I feel fully rested so I go with it.

I've never been an early riser and I always hated it when I had to get up that early to pack ex-hubby's lunch and get him off to work and the kids off to school.

Is it possible to meet someone and immediately connect with her in such a way that after just a few days you're as comfortable together as though you had known each other for years?

I have met people like that before....

[me]

Yes, especially if you're both being yourselves.

Who else would we be?

You know what I mean silly....

Happened to me with a doctor from Nepal.

I'd say "Yes."

Astonishing feeling. Sometimes you think you hear Rod Serling in the background and smell his cigarette smoke.

Carpet all done in this room, bell peppers cut in half, washed and drying to be cut up later for freezing, beans snapped and put in the slow cooker w/ham, onions, and new 'taters for supper and now it's break time....
