I have never in my life seen such a huge mistake as far as elections go. People so desperate for "change". That's working out brilliantly. Lemmings...right off the cliff. Hell, I can at least name a few things I thought Clinton did okay with during his first days in office. This guy? Good lord. No.

BTW, is there a Proverbs in the Quran? Somehow, I don't think he takes what you call "wisdom" from the Holy Bible.

(Hey tstone, was that good enough? I thought it wasn't half bad for a girl who likes to listen/read to varied sources and make up her own mind about the topics of the day.)

Of course, this is all just my "opinion". It doesn't mean that I think you personally are stupid or a lemming, but I do think ya got a little bit suckered.
Really lets be honest nothing qualifies someone to be president. Its not like there is a POTUS training program. What you want is someone with knowledge of world affairs, common sense, a high IQ, a calm demeanor, and at least an iota of humility. These are all qualities the "Decider" and the "the Alaskan Moosehunter" both lack and President Obama has in abundance. I hate to be blunt but the lemmings in the room are the boneheads who watch Glen Beck and publicly regurgitate his "Pearls of Great Wisdom".

I just wish the Christians who are eating up World Net Daily, Beck, Coulter, Limbaugh and Hannity would read Proverbs. There is nothing acceptable about the behavior of these shock commentators and their followers no matter how hard they may rationalize.

By the way you aren't the only one who likes to listen to and read varied sources and then make up her own mind. There are a lot of who do so automatically without expecting a gold star.

To prove my point about listening to varied sources I invite you to offer specifics. How does being a "damn senator" automatically make him a liar? What are his blunders so far and exactly how have they negatively impacted your life on a personal level?

Even better, try getting an MRI without insurance sometime. You'll need a nice savings account. Oh spent that money on food for your kids. Mmmm... too bad. Did you know that doctors charge you more for services if you don't have insurance and are paying out of pocket? Take care not to lose your job. I can't imagine it would be fun dying from treatable cancer because you lost access to affordable insurance.

I once had an MRI when my University insurance ran out (got injured the week after it expired). Got an MRI and told them I had no insurance...they dropped the price by half. It was still a lot of $$ though.

The intent of the Houston forum chat/off topic thread is to discuss various topics related to Houston, Texas while of course following https://www.city-data.com/forumtos.html If threads begin to move too much into an area covered by another forum, the post will be moved.

I like kolaches but they make them different here, than in 'the old country' my folks would say. Over the pond they were made with fruit jams like apricots, rather than meat.
