Nalita Media invites you to DO THE RIGHT THING

By dishonoring do you mean disagreeing or truly dishonoring?

Hi Rick,

I went back and entered a portion of the Cause Creator's statement for clarification.

No, we are not talking about disagreeing. The person I've held in highest esteem ever, even more so than President Obama, (my mother) I disagreed with at times, but never lost sight of honouring her as my mother. The concept is the same here -- whether you agree, or disagree with his policies, at least keep it to the policies, and not to the person and/or institution.

Much damage has already been done to the Office of the Presidency.

The damage was helped along eight years earlier when Dubya quipped, the first thing he was going to do in the Oval office was have it fumigated.
Then he expected grace and dignity?

Hey, Nalita. I'm with you in spirit. I'm also about holding Obama's feet to the fire. There were certain speeches he made that got us all fired up and I want to see some action to back up those pretty words!

Seems to be like you have precisely the best attitude, Julia. Obama is not God, and therefore we don't honour him as such.

But, you must admit the criticisms against him have been too extreme.

A comment elswhere on gather was meant to be deriding but it makes a lot of sense; when the plate is full, start chowing down!
Think of FDR, he took big bites! What didn't taste right he spit back out, but when it was over, we were on our way out of the world wide depression. (You realize a lot of what he did was challenged, and taken all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was declared unconstitutional abuse of power. Didn't matter then, he could close down those "socialist" programs because they'd jump started the economy.
Yes, time to start chewing on those problems instead of stacking more on the plate.

It's not the sneeze, it's whether or not he wipes his nose in a politically incorrect manner or not!

I'll go check your link out.

Excellent!

Thank you, Tanya!

I checked out the link. I guess I am just not 'getting it' about Facebook's 'causes'. I couldn't see any active point to the cause except collecting members. I didn't see any blogs or actual progressive activity. Am I missing something?

Depending on what the "creator" and administrators decide to do, there are a number of purposes the "CAUSES" on Facebook may serve. But, rather than my speaking to it, and doing a halfway job, I shall send you the information from there.

Expect an email from me.

Also, it might not be a good idea to put your question in the forum -- the comments -- provided right there where the cause is located. I would wager you would get some excellent responses to your question.

I meant to say,

It might be a good idea to . . .

Thanks!

and..............glad you clarified that.

You know, Nalita, I do know how you feel, as I felt the same way about President Bush. It seems to just go with the territory...

You make a good point, Nancy. But when have you ever heard Americans stating they want their President to FAIL in his efforts to put this country back on the right track?

The scary part of this is that a while back as the Soviet Union began to totter, and it's society to crumble, my brother who had contacts in the intel community said this joke was becoming popular everywhere throughout Russia. Read it and think long and hard about it.
Is this how many in our country are now thinking?

A bottle washes up on an island beach and three men stranded on the island see the bottle. They haven't eaten or drunk anything in days so they agree to share the contents. But when they pull the stopper a Genie appears and announces he will grant each one a single wish.
The first, an Englishman says "I have always wanted to be England's greatest equestrian." POOF, next he knows he is on horseback at Buckingham Palace getting a standing ovation from the entire Royal Family.
The second man is French and says "I have always wanted to be France's greatest lover." POOF, he finds himself at a sidewalk cafe under the Eiffle Tower surrounded by adoring women each inviting him to spend the night with her.
The last man is a Russian and he thinks long and hard. Finally he says "My neighbor has a milk cow. I don't have a milk cow." So the Genie says, "then you want me to conjure up a cow?" And the Russian sneers, "Nyet! What I want is for you to make my neighbor's cow dead!"

That's unnerving James, if you apply it to the Presidency/President Obama, but unfortunately, it fits.

Yes, it is just about as evil, and wicked as some of these people, isn't it.

Thank you James. I shall remember this one, as it holds wisdom within it.

Thank you!!! I agree completely.

Thanks, Kathy!

Too bad grace, Lady Neeetah, cannot be legislated. That is the only way any sitting president can avoid harsh UNFAIR criticism.

The president can handle the pointless garb throw his way. He faced quite a lot of it along the campaign trail. True American that he is, our president is built tough!

Regardless, I go back to my original point: too bad grace can't be legislated. Too bad!

Yes, P.W.,

It is a shame.

This is a good public service Lady. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Michael!

I strongly believe that the hatred of conservative Republicans will end up harming the party.

Leo,

Hatred serves no purpose but to tear down, and to destroy. If there is that element there within the Party, and it certainly appears to be, destruction is on the way.

Nee, I agree wholeheartedly, and just to pay a compliment to the President, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. Even if you did win it for Not Being GW Bush.

I second your sentiments about the President receiving the award. I believe it also serves as a mandate.

The world is round and GOP hate will be their undoing. They have taken the hate thing to a whole new level and are fanning flames that may turn into a mass public safety issue down the road.

Brian,
I agree!

I do not believe that the President of the United States automatically deserves respect.
I do respect Barack Obama.
