You are one brave woman, Severa! :)

I'll enjoy the negative reaction here on your thread, but I can't watch. Son with two tours in Iraq, one after Obama belittled and berated his mission in Iraq. The punk hates our troops. with a bloody passion.

So I just can't do it. It's all I can do to not hate the guy. Watching tonight won't help my self-control.........if you know what I mean.....

[spectre]

I love it!

Oval Office makeover has comfy, more modern feel - Yahoo News

Thanks for posting that link. The comments section is hilarious. It seems hardly anyone is digging 0bama and his new digs. Love it!

I love to listen to Mark interpret speeches. I am not at all sure, though, I can listen long—unless Mark does a lot of talking. For me, listening to BHO is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

[Severa]

The only family members that have been to Iraq or Afghanistan are the aforementioned brother (he did a few short missions over there, nothing more than a couple of months at a time) and one of my husband’s cousins did two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Neither one has stepped in a hot zone since Obama has been in office, thank God. Otherwise, I doubt I’d be so calm about watching tonight’s speech.

The relaxed color scheme — tan, camel and brown.... ....They should know that in fashion, camel is THE hot new color of the fall. And home decor often follows trends in fashion.

Figures.

[caww]

Thanks again...yep...will check these out too. Thanks.

[blueyon]

That’s what he did with our money...new paint, new sofa and chairs, new rug..............then tells us we need to cut back. What an ***

[pghoilman]

Way too risky for the Balless Wonder

Thanks again.

Aides: Obama won't give credit to Bush for surge

In his Oval Office address on Iraq on Tuesday, President Obama plans to ignore Republican suggestions that he acknowledge a personal mistake and give credit to former President George W. Bush for executing the 2007 troop surge, according to two senior administration officials familiar with the speech.

Obama, then a senator, and other Democratic senators at the time opposed the surge.

. . . Senior administration officials say the president wants his Iraq address to be more forward-looking and thus is not planning to spend any time in the 15- to 20-minute speech looking backward at the divisive 2007 congressional debate over whether Bush should surge more troops into Iraq.

I'm logged in .... and have Mark on the radio. He just promised that as Obama speaks ..... so shall he.

It really is the only way to listen to "The Won". ;-)

Just tuned him in. You are right...the only way it is at all tolerable. BHO makes me sick to my stomach. Ugh.

[Severa]

Lets see if he is on time.

Boy, YOU'RE not asking for much there...:)

[Right_in_Virginia]

You're not alone.
