Obama To Restart Guantanamo Bay Trials After Two-Year Ban

[Violet]

You mean people actually expected him to close it? And here I thought I was supposed to be the optimistic one...

Gee, you're how old?

I was going to answer that in several ways, but a question gripped me. Just where did the idea that it is rude to inquire a woman's age come from? 0.o

The idea is so blatantly crazy... it has to be british

I was over 40, before I developed such a cynical world view--and that's because I'm an Aussie. One of our more attractive national traits is a healthy contempt for politicians,clergy,lawyers ,journalists and other members of the criminal bourgeoisie.

I really must visit australia someday... i'll probably spend a short vacation there when I'm queen of all ^_^ Don't want to stick around too long when everyone has a healthy contempt for me ^_^

I bet if I read through my early posts here, I'll go: "was that me? Was i really that childish? I need more spaghetti to handle this!" I don't deny that hanging around people much more experienced and wiser than myself probably changed me into this. That's right all of you are partly responsible for creating *this*, how do you feel now?

As an outsider, I thought I had Obama's number during the election campaign.IE all sizzle and no steak. That if elected, it would be business as usual.I was right.

Your mention of sizzling steak made me really hungry... i clearly would fail at going on a diet

Of course the US isn't a monarchy.However, during that billion dollar campaign those running for office and those supporting them behaved as if it is,making promises a president could not keep. A president actually has very little power and needs the support of congress and the Senate to govern.Obama has neither, and is consequently a lame duck.

It was a billion dollar campaign?! TT__TT

I am... calm... @_o
