“President Obama has chided his attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., for describing America as a “nation of cowards” when discussing race, wading into a tumult that flared over Mr. Holder’s indictment of the way this country talks about ethnicity.”
[Mr Holder, meet Reverant Wright. He is the body to your immediate left unerneath the transmission of the campaign bus.]
“Mr. Obama was asked whether he agreed with Mr. Holder.
He hesitated for five seconds before responding.
“I’m not somebody who believes that constantly talking about race somehow solves racial tensions,” Mr. Obama said. “I think what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure that people have health care, ensuring that every kid is learning out there. I think if we do that, then we’ll probably have more fruitful conversations.”
If PBHO were giving sworn testimony he would be rebuked by the presiding judge for his ‘non’responsive’ answers.
In his first press conference PBHO gave a 1200 word reply to the first question he was asked and it was equally ‘non’responsive’.
PBHO says nothing better than any woman/man who has ever breathed. Reporters were so enraptured by the verbatious rhetoric that they were completetly unware that that they had soiled themselves.
PBHO has contributed a new word to the English language: ‘djo’. It was probably due to a glitch in the software that is associated with his teleprompter.
Now PBHO can not shake the bad habit.
Kind of like Charles Barkley and that tourettes like twitch in his golf swing.
Some sort of aversion therapy may be necessary to break him of the verbal pathology.
Maybe they can use the same therapy to free PBHO from the compulsive lying.

Someone should ask Chris Mathews if the “thrill running up the leg” is still there….
Doyle,
Someone should also ask Tom Brokaw if the seagulls in Washington DC are still in a state of awe.
I am! :)
Then you may be a seagull….
Obama is exceeding my expectations. We’re fortunate to have him during these trying times.
Interesting thread, but I think it’s in the wrong post. If anyone’s interested, regardless of political views, you can friend me on Facebook.
You can find me under my maiden name “Rachael Snider”.
Why are you using my name????? What have I done to you? Why do I deserve to be in the crossfire because of you? Please STOP, I can not stand it anymore.
Who are you?
My name is Jill Stanek Also. As for who ever you are please stop. I am a Grand daughter of Hildren and Stanley Stanek and I wish you would stop using our name. PLEASE!!!
Hildred
Jill, if your name is Jill Stanek also, it’s not (our) Jill’s fault that you two happen to have the same name. What do you want her to do, change her name?
Maybe you could put in a middle initial or something, to make your name stand out from Jill’s on Facebook or Twitter.
My name is Jillian Stanek and I do by Jill. I do not know what I have done to anyone, to deserve hate mail. I just did a search on Jill Stanek to see if I could make a Family History Web Site for all my family to see throug out the united States and guess what IT IS NOT POSSIBLE NOW! Thanks a lot. My family heritage means a lot to me. Now I can’t make that happen.
Jill, of course it is possible. You are not thinking about this rationally.
I am sorry that you received hate mail, but try to remind yourself it is not for you. Forward it to this Jill if it makes you feel better.
So someone shares the same name as you. It’s okay. It happens!
There can be two Stanek families, and both can have space on the web. It’s fine!
I share a name with another girl who shares my first and last name. Sometimes people have emailed me thinking I am her. I’m not. But it’s okay. That’s how it goes on the internet- there are a lot of people and there are bound to be people who share names.
By the way, the URL http://www.jillianstanek.com is available.
Jill – I’m sorry for your dilemma, but I’m puzzled that you say you get hate mail. I have never received hate mail on fb.
I suggest changing your name to Phyllis Durt or Phyl for short. You will be in constant demand. It is good to be wanted. I constantly see signs asking for Phyl Durt, but they usually specify ‘clean’ Phyl Durt.

oh my goodness, KBHVAC, you are too funny. I am rolling!
“Why does the president persist in the dehumanizing of nascent human life when better alternatives exist? Human embryo-destroying stem cell research is not only unethical, unworkable and unreliable – it is now, demonstrably unnecessary.”

The common denominator is ‘federal funding’ as in spending US taxpayer dollars.

Jillian Stanek, I’m just curious, since you’re here. What is your position on abortion?
Jillian Stanek – Could you please email me at chris@jillstanek.com? Thanks.
I am not for it and i am not against it, it all depends on the person. Its a personal preference. I do not think someone should be downed because if it. Yes I do have kids, if my girls became pregnant and wanted one, I will be behind her no matter what her decision is.
My Idea is that it should be left alone and it should depend on the person.
Thanks, Jill. I had a feeling this would be your position.
Why should that matter? I mean I would try to talk her out of it for sure, but it is all up to her. So does that make me a bad person?? I mean come on there is no right or wrong here! If you were raped and became pregnant wouldn’t you want one??? What if you were 13 and on the verge of dying because of being pregnant wouldn’t you want one then? OMG what is this would coming to? So do I have to vote on breathing fresh air??? Its almost to that point with politics!
Why should that matter? I mean I would try to talk her out of it for sure, but it is all up to her. So does that make me a bad person??
Why would you try to talk her out of it?
Rachel, which Rachael Snider are you? There are several and I don’t know where you live. I want to friend you. :)
Jillian Stanek, I feel your pain! I share a name with a Baywatch actress. She spells her name differently but eesh, the jokes I get. Especially because I was a lifeguard for a while.
I went to camp with a girl whose name was Whitney Spears. And I once read an article about a woman whose name was Paula Jones. It can be hard sharing your name with someone who is in the spotlight, particularly someone who is in the spotlight for something controversial or something you don’t agree with. But sometimes it’s better that way than to share a name with an obscure person. A young woman I know shares a name — let’s say Jane Smith — with another young woman who is approximately her age, lives in the same city, and went to the same university. Jane Smith 2 posts tons of drunk or stoned pictures of herself online, has a public and extremely immature Facebook profile, etc. And she has the same hair color and roughly the same body type as Jane Smith 1! Jane Smith 1 constantly worries that employers or clients will google her and assume the two are the same person. At least when you share a name with a well-known person, it’s clear to anyone who matters that it isn’t you.
If you still want to make a family history website, you certainly can! Maybe you could mention the name issue when you shared the URL with your immediate family.
We used to have several people here who were into genealogy. I wish they were still here! You’d probably enjoy talking to them. Anyway, if I recall correctly they went through a lot of work to track down their family history. I think that if your intent for your website is to share it with distant relatives as well as immediate relatives, the people who are inclined to look for it will probably dig deep enough to get past the Jill Stanek news.
Alexandra, that was so sweet and well said.
Bethany,
That’s great! I was just thinking of adding you. If it’d be be easier, try searching me under my married name, Rachael Coers, because there’s only one of that name & it’s me! :-) Also, I’ll friend you to make it easier, Bethany Kerr, right? See u soon on Facebook!
Alexandra,
Now I know why your name seemed so familiar to me!! :)
Someone usually confuses me with Carol Stream, Il.
Thanks, Rachael!! :)
