So that's how it's done....

Sorry it's been so long. I've been insanely busy with work and our Christmas choir concert that's coming up. I don't have much but this link. Hehe. Always wanted to know how to get one.

Another shout-out?

I'm watching President Obama speaking at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska from earlier today.... The first thing that stood out to me, is that this guy just loves giving shout-outs. So far all I've heard is shout-outs, and applause.... I'm not sure why this was even on TV.... This is completely pointless.... So far it's been about three minutes of welcoming/thanking different people/groups of people.... "Senator Mark Begich is in the house." Really? Did he just say that?

Thank you President Obama for wasting my time.

HAHAHAHA. They cut him off on FOX News. He was just rambling. HAHA.

It seems like what he was getting to was just another one of his meaningless speeches. His empty words. Typical politician.

Am I the only one who is actually starting to get sick to his stomach whenever he is talking? I don't trust a word he says when he speaks. It literally makes me feel ill.

When I was little, I hated it when the president spoke. It ruined that night of TV, it was beyond boring for me, and Bill Clinton was just all-around pretty scary. Now, I hate it for different reasons. The outright lies that come from him make me want to explode. It takes all I have to even read through one of his speeches without pulling a Congressman Joe Wilson. My poor laptop screen can't take all the verbal abuse, it's just the messenger.

I don't know. I'm tired of all of this. I host hope for a conservative (not republican) victory next year.

Get ready for another year of, "I'm ______ and I approve this message."

I want to give a shout-out....

Sorry it's been awhile.

The other day, I was at work late, and when I got in the car, I heard on the news about the shooting at Fort Hood. It was horrible news. I'm sure many of you were astounded that there was a shooting at a military base.

Well, I got home, and started watching Beck, which I record everyday, when I saw the video that I'm about to embed. I was lucky that he addressed the shooting during the time I was recording. Here it is:



Now, I know this was a conference that he was already going to speak to. However, as the Commander-in-Chief, with the entire nation waiting for his response to the incident, how does he think it's okay to come out, smiling, and give a shout-out to someone? Which is more important at that particular moment? This conference, or the horrible tragedy (let alone security issue)?

"Let me first of all just thank Ken, and the entire department of the interior of staff, for organizing just an extraordinary conference."

"I hear that Dr. Joe, Medicine Crow, was around, so I want to give a shout-out to that congressional medal of honor winner."

Are you kidding? Really, I'm serious. Is this a joke? I was yelling at my TV. He was somewhat joyful until almost exactly two minutes into his speech, which is when he finally gets to the part where he addresses the nation about Fort Hood.

And one of my favorite parts is about 4:25 into the video, when he says, "I want all of you to know, that, as the Commander-in-Chief, there is no greater honor, but also no greater responsibility for me, than to make sure that the extraordinary men and women in uniform are properly cared for, and that their safety and security when they are at home, is provided for." Note that he had to make something about him, and that he said that their safety and security while they are at home is his responsibility. Because we all know how prompt he is with making a decision on Afghanistan, so when they're overseas it obviously can't be his responsibility.

Also, something I wanted to point out is that his entire address about the shooting was only about 2:45 long. That's only 45 seconds longer than his little opening. Now, I know what you're going to say, "Well, he didn't have a whole lot of information at the time." I understand that. But if you're going to briefly address the situation, due to lack of information, why start your address to the conference you're at, then stop to address the issue, then restart your address to the conference? How does that even make sense?

Please, someone tell me what I'm missing here.
