The Met Office - on Tuesday they told the airlines that the volcanic ash cloud would cover most of the UK by today and all flights would be grounded. As it happens the cloud has almost disappeared and what is left has moved off into the North Sea. No disruption to flights at all and it's no wonder that bloke at Ryan Air is slagging off the met office and CAA as incompetents.

I think Obama tells the truth, even when it hurts - and that's why the conservatives hate him and the liberals are disappointed in him. He doesn't sugar-coat things, and I respect that.

"Are you female Gnu ? If so I can understand that."

And, if not, you can't understand much. Sounds like a stunned thing to ask and to say, to me. Sorry, but that's the way I call that one.

"Do you think she made him wash it first?"

That's gross!!! He's the pres. He has personal dick washers at his side 24/7 I should think. But, if not, I would suck his dick for $2,999,999.99 and wash it first. Customer servicing makes the difference.

BTW, it's gnu, not Gnu.

Oh, yeah... I am 101% heterosexual male. But, I am always up for a bargain.

"As President, I will close Guantanamo, reject the Military Commissions Act and adhere to the Geneva Conventions."

Guantanamo Bay "will be closed no later than one year from now" President Obama said in January 2009.

"I will finally end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all," the senator told a Grand Rapids audience on Oct. 2. "The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton will be over when I'm in the White House."

A $24,673,427 no bid contract was awarded on Jan. 4 to Checchi & Company Consulting, Inc. a firm owned by Vincent V. Checchi, Democratic donor, to provide services in Afghanistan.

As kendall pointed out: "Many people can not tell the difference between a person lying and changing his/her mind. They are not the same.

You can't lie about future events. You can lie about your intentions, but that is a different matter. "I will do so-and-so if elected" isn't a lie even if you don't do it, it's an unfulfilled prediction, Just so long as you actually intend to do so-and-so at the time you say it. Of course it is still a broken promise.

Date: 28 May 11 - 02:22 PM

Kendall and McGrath have it right. One technical exception... changing one's mind is not necessarily the reason for not following through as it could be that following through becomes impossible when one knows "the rest of the story."

Subject: RE: BS: Lying Bastards of the Year awards
From: Don Firth
Date: 28 May 11 - 02:24 PM

McGrath has the right of it. There's a big difference between wanting to do something (and telling people what you intend to do) and what you actually CAN do when you get into office.

And, of course, there are a number of instances when Obama said what he intended to do, and when push came to shove, what Congress would LET him do.

It's easy to blame a president if he wasn't able to accomplish what he said he wanted to when he faces a Congess that is trying to make sure that he fails at every turn.

My beef with Obama is that he has been trying to establish cooperation and compromise with a bunch of people who have made it clear that they have no intention of cooperating and have their hells dug in. He needs to learn how to stop playing "Mr. Nice Guy" and kick some butt.
