#righton #tcot and #fltcot Where is Obama on this?

Why hasn’t this President offered any kind of compassionate aid to a predominately Christian nation (one of only two in Asia) in a crisis. The Philippines where the 1987 Philippine Constitution, states Filipino and English are the official languages. A country that committed itself to promote the American ideals of democracy. The Philippines values its relations with the United States, and has actively supported most of the other's policies with regards to foreign affairs. Death toll from flooding in Philippines has hit 240 because of Tropical Storm Ketsana. Another storm is brewing east of the island nation and could hit as early as Friday.

How to Use Twitter to Become Infamous

By David Cohen on Sep 22, 2009 03:14 PM Washington Redskins rookie linebacker Robert Henson was virtually unknown before this week, as he had yet to play a down in the National Football League. Now he's known for all the wrong reasons. Henson apologized for a series of tweets ripping into Redskins fans for booing the team during Sunday's lackluster 9-7 victory over the visiting St. Louis Rams, Deadspin reported. Among the gems that graced Henson's since-shuttered Twitter account: All you fake half hearted Skins fan can…I won't go there, but I dislike you very strongly, don't come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!! No I didn't play but I still made more than you in a year and you'd [gladly] switch spots with me in a second. I was talking to the fans [who] said the crazy stuff, I'm use [to heckling] but I've never been booed in my own stadium. Again that was for the half hearted but if everyone wants to jump in come on. The question is who...

When are we going to realize that we are all mutts!

An interesting thing happened to me tonight after I put up another picture of myself on Facebook, I started to receive several e-mails. The first e-mail directed towards me was titled hey Vinney is that you? First of all I do not respond to Vinney. I believe that when someone calls me Vinney, that they are implying and ethnic tone. The second e-mail I got, was completely in Spanish. Another e-mail I got, said " I don't like white men, I am not a racist, I just don't like white men". I also got one stating, now that I know are you look I hope that you understand that there are ladies here. Many more e-mails followed, I believe that you get the flavor of the comments. You know, you would think that in these days and times, in fact this would be humorous. Anybody with any knowledge of history knows that everybody is a combination of everyone else. There are no your races on this planet. Yes my parents were from Sicily. Does anyone know the racial makeup of the Sicilian...

Media Resources Prepared School Remarks

Media Resources Prepared School Remarks Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Back to School Event Arlington, Virginia September 8, 2009 The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today. I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mo...

Concerning Pres. Obama's school speech

While it is true that a lot of presidents spoke at separate schools and school rooms , this is the first time that a president will speak to all the schools at the same time. As it is no surprise that I am not an Obama supporter by the same token I think or I believe that we should support president Obama and not shut him out from speaking to our school age children. After all present Obama is our president he is the President of the United States. I like every American, does not want anything to happen to this president. I like every American wishes of this president the best. I like every American recognizes something were to happen to this president all hell would break loose in our society. Therefore it is imperative that nothing happens to our president and he is respected for being our president. I cannot agree however with all of this a bailout and so on I cannot agree with this president blessings on Ramadan a Muslim holiday and covering Jesus during a visit to a church. I cann...
