      Fervent lips with a wicked heart, Are like earthenware covered with silver dross. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil. A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin. Do NOT associate with those given to CHANGE. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Righteous exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people-Proverbs
      FEAR NOT,GIVE TO THOSE WHO BEG YOU, PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMY- Jesus

      Why …
      QUESTION:

      Why did President Obama say the Constitution of the United States is flawed, and why has he never praised the founding fathers of our great Nation?

      PICK THE CORRECT ANSWER:

      1. President Obama is a patriotic American, but is an idiot.

      2. President Obama is not a patriotic American, but he is a progressive that believes in moving our Nation into a socialist form of Marxist government.

      Why is it, the only people I ever hear from that are against Obama are people on YouTube, fox news, and rush limbough listeners. I can talk to people who are out and about in the world, and they absolutely love our President!! Both white, and Black folk love what He and his wife are doing for America!!!! The polls say his approval rating is way down. Where do these people live?? My experience tells me that Obama is due to have another term as President, if He can get healthcare reform passed!

      Thank you President …
      Thank you President Obama, for our friends on Wall Street have recently given themselves bonuses topping over $20 BILLION dollars. Looking back your bailout was a bitter pill for us taxpayers, but now we can’t thank you enough in making it possible for them to make such outrages bonuses. Nevertheless, we trust you have already received your fair share of the money for your next election.

      Best regards,

      This is great that the president really sees education in this country as an issue. I recently emailed my representative on this issue. Sadly, I live in Mississippi, the ‘dumbest’ state in the Union. A lot needs to be done to raise MS’s standards and help us afford college.

      “first as a condition to receiving Title 1 funds, we will “aX-k”
      all states”

      What the crap? Obama says “aX-k”, instead of “ask” between the 17:20 to
      17:25 mark.

      Last week it was
      “corPs-man” for corpsman. Is this what Reid meant or has Arne Duncan and the WH Chicago gang been speaking ebonics too often?

      Interesting – fire fighter – policeman – teacher. Inner city schools teachers are more like policeman due to the underfunding and economic conditions inner city students live under day to day. Poverty breeds crime and this is a reality – severe poverty breeds severe crime! Know that crime is a symptom of the State of the Nation – crime from street to the executive suite -street level criminal three strikes ; executive suite criminal gets a Wall Street Bail Out!
