One of these will get past the Eye…
“Laughing Cynic,
Take your selective memory syndrome elsewhere. The man was a community organizer before he ran for office. He did good… and told no one.
What have you done with your life lately?”
T’would appear responding to you earlier didn’t meet with the approval of the Eye. Truth is painful, and not desired on such a day. And I certainly wouldn’t want you to think that I don’t have a response to your attack.
I’m in the community every day. My work is community. I help the poorest poor elderly, forgotten by people like you and your lot, get medical and social support to stay in their homes. I fight for them when the system wants to write them off. I put 3000 miles a month on my car. I’d say more, but your mind probably can’t accept that anyone who doesn’t buy the Brand really does something like this.
And I’m tired, tired from driving 200 miles TODAY in ice and snow, and tired of smarmy followers questioning the motives of those who don’t mindlessly follow this insanity.
What did you do today, “Grow Up”? Watch TV?

Even though MLK Day 2009 is now past, we can, and will, continue to serve our country with pride in the work we do. Some people prefer to do good for others in silence and with no notice. Others complain while they work. Still others feel the urge to sing. says we had twice as many service projects as last year.

to bad- and what lost opportunities.
you people on here today could have used your blog time to tell each other about what you did to help someone less fortunate than you, but instead you used this time to run obama down, and say things-i guess you think are cute and witty, but they are not.
nothing but sour grapes here
you may as well make up your minds to join the rest of the world, and try to do some good.
there are no holes deep enough for you to climb in for the next four years.
thank god for your station in life, and that you are living in such times.
and help out.

No kidding. Reading them is not pleasant. There are a lot of distortions around here, and unfortunately, it’s not just with the readers.

Wow, lot of right-wing blog readers here, if they really believe Bush’s 2005 inauguration only cost $42 million. Two words: Prove it. And without usuing links to blogs or opinion columns. Stop spreading lies; that’s Hannity’s and Limbaugh’s job.
