| Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that in a second term, President Obama would change Washington by spending even more time away from D.C. “I think everybody grows. Everybody matures. Everybody develops their, you know, their confidence,” Jarrett said of the first term in an interview airing this morning on MSNBC. “As I think one of the things that he has said upon reflection is that he’s going to spend a lot more time traveling around the country,” she said after a New Hampshire rally. “A day like today is energizing, and the American

Well then, a nice long vacation away would seem to be in order, since he takes no responsibility, he can do without the authority, too.
Goodbye, Mr. pResident. Good riddance.

Well, he won't be campaigning any more, so just what will he be doing as he travels around the country? Trying to see how many golf courses he can play? Well, once he retires on Jan. 21, 2013, he can play as much golf as he wants. Just go away and take that evil VJ with you. Oh, and Valerie, too.

Right, starting in January that would be all of it. Most worried is Valarie Jarrett because she will have to go from her big-time scamming in DC back to the smaller scale corruptions in Chicago.

They want the rich to become poorer, but all should realize that means the poor will be poorer. These people have "there goodies in private accounts off shore", but you, the average are at risk. So Obama will jet around and leave the busines of Washinton to idiots like Valerie Jerret.

Say goodbye, Obama! You can spend your time in Hawaii, if they still want to claim you. The less we see of Obama, the better, for we, without him, will unite to become the United States of America that we were before he was sold to US by the liberal media. They are the next ones to lose their power!
Thank God for the Internet and Talk Radio, where we citizens are able to respond and share our knowledge, knowing that together we are strong and able to prosper as we know in Whom we believe and disallow anyone that seeks power over a concern for their fellowman.
Obama, you failed! You will not be remembered as the great President you, in your own mind, thought you were.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
