President Barack Obama urged Americans on Saturday to recall the spirit that united the country after the Sept. 11 attacks and take part in a national day of service to mark the anniversary next month.

Obscure reference to famous twilight zone episode. Aliens visit earth with instruction book entitled “to serve man.”. Upon translation they find out that it’s a cookbook. I say this whenever someone tries to guilt me into their version of service.

For some time, he no longer sports blue/purple lips.

I noticed this myself yesterday. I guess he had some "work" done. Purple lips can occur naturally, doesn't have to be a disease, although Ubama himself IS a disease on this great nation.

We will do NO SERVICE... WE WILL PRAY AND REMEMBER.

I routinely volunteer at my kids’ school, Habitat for Humanity, in the community, and at my Church. With hussein calling for it, I will make sure to sit on my backside that day and do something just for me.

Our muslim president is making a national day of service out of 9/11? I believe he thinks the muslims who killed us on 9/11 did the world a great service.

P.S.

If it means nothing, the question is why is he covering up his blue/puple lips with makeup if it means nothing?

I’m not trying to start an argument. My question is sincere.

Just a thought.
