13. I feel so free now.
It was like I had a ball and chain around my soul for 8 hideous years. Maybe that's the way POWs feel.

14. I have sim feelings....them Bushies did us bad for 8 long years...
and it shows in many aspects.

Their record sucks big time...from cronies to Katrina horror stories...

Tis time to take those 2, Bush and Cheney, to Halemaumau Volcano Crater... and sacrifice them to Pele...the Goddess of Craters, volcanos......

according to tradition...they should be stripped nekkid first....

Throw them into the HOLE

5. Yes, it was. I have never bothered to watch a POTUS speak on Memorial Day before...
Edited on Mon May-25-09 02:17 PM by ClarkUSA
... but as an American, I was moved by the poignancy of this wonderful president's words.

but this one REALLY grabbed me.

6. I am a veteran, and my president brought tears to my eyes.
He is a good man, and we haven't had one like him for a long time.
