The problem with Pres. Obama is that he is the chief executive officer of the US and dos not enjoy that role. He prefers to give loquacious speeches like a Baptist preacher so he can attempt to prove he is the smartest man in the room. Even his answers to questions in his newsconferences are mini-speeches. He believes all of his ideas are unquestionable and he has surrounded himself with nothing but yes-men. He wanted to win the presidency, has continually campaigned for it (even after last November), but he is not cutout for the job as he is a poor leader and an even worse executive. He doesn't understand that he is one branch if the government subject to checks and balances enumerated in the Constitution, especially Congressional oversight. It is never good when your adminstration is compared to the Nixon administration. The spokeskid Jay Carney is sounding similar to Ron Ziegler, Nixon's press sec'y.
Oftentimes, when two homosexual women get "married", the photo will show one woman in a typical white wedding dress while the other will be dressed in a tux. Adorable! So, we pretty much know who straps it on and who is submissive. Now, if two homosexual men get "married" and one were to wear a typical wedding dress, we would look at that "man" as an absolute freak or, at the very least, a transvestite. Would you ever let one of your young children anywhere near the man that wears the dress? Probably not but would it be objectionable to let your child near the women in man's clothes? I would think such blatant prejudice should be an outrage to the progressive crowd and the LGBT community should work on having this as acceptable behavior.
Heavier? One look at his photo and you don't see a man flying through airports but a balloon in the Macy's parade. Did he get fat! You're a bad man, OJ!
Homosexuals have never been denied the right to get married. A homsexual man can marry any woman he chooses and a homosexual woman can marry any man she chooses since that is most definitely the legal, traditional, customary and religious definition of marriage. If homosexuals want to enter into a civil union, that is fine witj me, but it won't have the "benefits" of marriage since this a contractual relationship.
johnyoung, David Skolnick is the political editor for the Vindy and he writes opinion pieces on his analysis of the political landscape based on his knowledge of the characters and climate of the Mahoning Valley, just as Clingan Jackson did for decades before him. If you don't like him or don't agree with his opinion, don't read his articles. But, with politics, it is mostly opinion as there is little politcal "news" to report, such as a cover-up of a terrorist attack in Benghazi. The problem with the Vindy is the lack of astute political opinions from the national scene since revenues are declining and those pieces are easily had on-line.
Sonny, The FEDERAL government is a true democratic republic as we, the people, directly vote on nothing that pertains to the structure. Even Pres and Veep are elected by the Electoral College. But our STATE of Ohio is not a full republic since we have the right of referendum by petition on state issues as long as they are not in conflict with the US Constitution, as this issue most assuredly was. For instance, the state of Ohio Govt enacted SB5 in a "republic" fashion. But, the people, using referendum, had the measure repealed. Is this the tyranny of the majority that we should be concerned about?
"sad day for democracy"! What a joke. No doubt that liberalism is a mental disorder. You passed your petitions, got your issue on the ballot and it was soundly defeated. But, the liberals ALWAYS know better than the stupid people. Just ask Chris Mathews; they are never wrong. They even like to smell their own farts since they don't stink!Now, hopefully, the city will lease its land and let a company drill on it.
BTW, if it wasn't for that gas well, you wouldn't be able to hug that tree because you would have to cut it down for firewood to keep warm or cook.
When Buckwheat's Senate campaign crashes and burns, he can run for the mayor of Y-town again in the special election that will be held to replace Mayor McNally, who will be indicted on state conspiracy charges.
toycannon, I thought the same thing as I was listening to the live news conference this morning. Every Cleveland official that spoke was in CYA mode! First, ANthony Sowell and now this. I think they would rather have the river catch fire again.
Using the fire department is a bad example of hiring practices. Fire fighter positions usually attract candidates that want to be firemen, mostly because a family member is one. The hours kind of suck, the work can be difficult and stressful, and it requires certain skills. If you just one day wake up and say "Hey, I think I will be a fireman", you probably won't be successful, no matter the color of your skin. NOw, grass cutters and ditch diggers can be just about anyone with a strong back and a relable work ethic.
