presidential duties

It seems to me the President of the United States of America spends too much time defending his appointees and/or apoligizing for statements or viewpoints of his friends and/or co-workers instead of putting his effort into doing more meaningful and productive things. Your opinions?

You go a mile, I'll go two. You go ten, I'll go twenty. You won't win, so don't bother. We haven't any room for commies in this wonderful land.

Somalia

The ships transporting food and other humanitarian supplies to Somalia are doing a very important and necessary job. My question is why when the countries sending aid have problems themselves taking care of their own. My idea is as in the basic part of any society to take care of your own as in a family situation and only then if there is a surplus a nation or peoples can help others less fortunate. We know the world economy is in the tank and will probably recover if only at a snail's pace. Let all countries get on the same page. Does that make any sense?

Sotomayor

Will she be evaluated on her record as an Appeals Court member in depth as to her competence to serve as a member of the US Supreme Court? Is she biased in any way?

I'm Frustrated

Listen to what I have to say as I observe a lot and need to get it down before I forget it. It may be "misguided", but that's your opinion: thus we're at a standstill. Maybe I'm wrong.
