Well, it's been 9 days, don't know if I have any followers anymore. Actually, for some reason, the followers have all been eliminated from the screen. I don't know if I ever mentioned before but I have always had a very hard time signing in. Sometimes it took me about 5 or 6 min. and it was very frustrating. Sometimes I could get right in but others, very hard. Took me all this time to figure how to get in easily!
Anyhow, don't know where I left off. If I want to scroll down and look at the last blog I will lose this and I don't want to lose this.
It was 9 days ago. And Trump was already in the picture. Well, he was on every show imaginable except for, of course, MSNBC. He refused, evidently, to go there as they would make mincemeat of him. In fact, Lawrence O'Donnell, who said he knows that Trump watches his show every nite, gave it to him every single night, beautifully! Well, last Friday, I guess it was Fri., Obama revealed his birth certificate, and, of course, Trump took credit for making him do that. It really wasn't Trump. Obama felt it was all nonsense, which it was, but he showed it. Then, on Sat. was the White House Correspondence Dinner and after bashing Obama for at least 3 weeks, Trump was there and of course, Obama was there at the head table, after all, it is his White House! He got up and said Mahala, greeting everyone in Hawaiian! And, he laid into Trump, in his usual cool manner. Obama is good! You could see that he got a small smile out of Trump. But when Seth Meyers from S.N.L. got up to do his monolog it was almost all about Trump and he gave it to him BUT GOOD!!! And the camera kept going on to Trump and he was MAD! They said later that they expected him to get up and leave and I sure did, but I guess he didn't.
The next day Trump said that Seth Meyers stuttered! Funny!
Seth Meyers does not stutter! Believe me, I have been watching him for years. Now, that was Sat. On Sunday evening Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden was DEAD!!!! What a coup! What a weekend!
Now, Obama is a hero! You think? Well, not w/Republicans. They buried OBL at sea so as not to create a shrine to him and did honor the tradition of Muslims to bury them right away. They did I believe 10 tests of DNA, to prove it was him, everything was done by the book. Well, Palin is saying it is disrespectful to 9/11 to bury him in the sea! Please don't ask me why. She has to say something, she is a has-been, has to keep her screechy mouth going. Oh, BTW, her daughter, Bristol, was at the Correspondence dinner and please don't ask me why! She was a guest of People Magazine.
Also, BTW, someone mentioned on Twitter that she said her mother is not allowed in her home in AZ. Well, who knows!
Anyhow, back to OBL. Obama does not want to publish the photos and I agree w/him but I also agree w/other who think the photos should be published. They are very gory, he was shot in the head. Now, on Jon Stewart's show last nite he said he can understand not wanting to show gory on TV, then he showed the shows, CSI, CRIMINAL MINDS, BONES, etc. Speak about gory on TV! But that isn't the only reason. He feels that if they show the pics OBL's followers will retaliate and go after us, and they will make a martyr of him. On the other hand, they could have tapes that he made and didn't release and they could release them and say they were made just now and that he isn't dead. On Fox yesterday, Andrew Napolitano, either a Judge or former judge, said that Obama made it all up to help his "lousy presidency". Lousy presidency? The Republicans are mad as hell! They have been showing films of Bush when he was prez saying "I don't know where he is and I really don't care. I am not interested in him, etc. etc. etc." In fact, they never mentioned this, but I remember that for about a year & 1/2 Bush never mentioned the name Osama Bin Laden. It was like he never existed! Had we not left Afghanistan and taken so many military to Iraq to a war that should never have been, maybe we could have gotten OBL sooner and maybe all our military that was killed in Iraq wouldn't have been killed! To me, there blood is on the hands of Cheney & Bush! Now, with this killing comes all kinds of flack. Before I go into that, I must say that the CIA special forces that went in to that compound, are something very special. The reason they didn't bomb the place is because there were children & women there, actually I think they said 23 children and 9 women, who were all saved. Also, if they bombed it they wouldn't know for sure that he was in there. Now get this, he was living in a million dollar home (in Pakistan evidently the home prices are not the same as in Encino!!!!) in a residential area, right next to a military academy. All fenced in, barbed wire on top of the fence. They didn't take their garbage out like the other houses did, they burned their garbage, had no phone service. He evidently had been there all the time we thought (per the Bush Adm.) he was living in a cave. He was found w/a lot of money on him and 2 phones #s that were tucked into his clothes. It seemed like he was planning to leave. Now, the Pakistanis who we give l8 billion to each year, say they knew nothing about this. Right, and I have some land to see you west of Malibu! (I read that in a book!) So, not there is a new war going on, right here, show the pictures, don't show the pictures. The Republicans are upset because they know they have diddly on their list for prez in 2012, really crap! And they know that this helped Obama greatly!
Now, last nite on the news they announced that the GOP has decided that they will not change Medicare and it is "off the table" . I guess that during Easter week when they were all home and having Town Hall meetings and the people were all screaming at their reps, like Paul Ryan and his ilk, "don't touch my Medicare!" and lying to these people who wouldn't take any of it. It was great to watch! Better than a movie! However, before the program ended, they came up w/a special report that Eric Cantor, the Rep. whip of the House, said that they will not take it off the table but will discuss it or some other crap like that. Well, we shall see. Now I am really getting tired of typing and have to go and check my Twitter. As of yesterday I had 739 followers! I can't believe it and I really love it. You get to know some of the people and have political discussion back and forth and I am really learning things!
Leslie Ann Warren is following me now!
Well, I hope to keep this up. Now we have to wait and see if the pics are going to be released!
