They are the least likely to take offense and most likely to write it off to Americans just being Americans. Personally I was hoping he'd give the French a US-Standard Jerry Lewis collection, but that is just me. |

I was kinda wondering if they're not federal office workers just eating on the cheap. Regarding the cell phone, apparently there are several government programs that give free cell phones to certain people who qualify for food stamps. From what I've read, you don't have to be particularly "poor" to get food stamps these days- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yes, it is always a joy to be in line at the grocery store and watch the number of people using food stamps for their food then pulling out a big wad of cash for the cigarettes, beer, and wine. Oh, and don't forget the Lottery Tickets. |

"[NEW YORK] The agency that mails out coupons for digital TV converter boxes expects to eliminate its wait list in two and a half weeks, an official said Thursday." The story: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/200903...er_box_coupons *Nice to hear that the stimulus package is already trickling down to benefit the unemployed. *Watching TV should keep everyone's mind off of the economy. I'd rather use work to distract myself, besides I'll need the income to pay for my neighbors' homes, cars, TV's, cellphones, healthcare, dinner and entertainment. That's just the bills congress passed this week, who knows what I'll have to pay for next week. Me too, living within my means and saving for retirement really worked out. I am really glad I can help out people who bought a house they couldn't afford or maybe speculated in real estate and lost or even those poor folks who greedily scammed the system *with their banks or brokerages and need our money to pay their $50 Million bonuses for the great work they did. The blue team is really doing a good job showing us how stupid we were.. The best comment I heard was from Dennis Miller. He mentioned that many of us donate to various overseas charities where we get letters from individuals telling us how they were able to go to school or make advances in their life and they also included a picture. So Miller asked since Obama and the rest of the blue team want half of the country to pay for the other half will we get a picture of who we are supporting? Here is one picture of the first lady serving "the homeless" in DC. I'm sure cellphones are essential equipment for the "homeless" of today. Tough enough for me sweating out how I'm going to send my three "high honor roll" kids to college, now that their college savings are wiped out, but I've got to worry about keeping the growing number of non productive members of society, in cellphones Reminds me of picture I saw projecting what Michelle Obama will look like at the end of Obama's term: http://www.whoknew.us/images/LaWanda_Page.gif- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Doesn't look like she will age one bit. |

It was supposed to be a symbolic gesture/gift to "reset" our relationship after Bush. I would like to have heard Hillary chew out and fire whatever underling did the translating. The best gift I ever saw was when Reagan gave somebody a rare American long rifle (cant remember the rifle brand or the gift recipient). A set of DVD's is one helluva crappy gift, a gift certificate to Blockbuster or NetFlix would have been better actually. |

Was it in the Jimmy Carter years? Some translator told an
old smelly Arab that the President "lusted after" him. Yeah, that's got to be one for the Americas Videos. Hillary lays into the translator. Someone else noted that the DVD that were given, probably in American format. The foreign dignitary would need to buy an American DVD player, and a power converter for European power. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..
