Karma at last
Ellen Mana'ar Johnson
Sad that his dream of the presidency came true and he is still not happy.
Annie Shields
Being president is very hard work, not really glamorous.
Dawn N Luke Andrews
Terrell Shaw.... Seriously?
Terrell Shaw
Dawn N Luke Andrews, seriously? Have you watched him?

Pence will be our president, unless donald starts a war. It's a lose-lose situation.
Ray Lyons

Jeannie Blakely
If you're talking about calling, try this number:Johnny Isakson (GA) 770.661.0999..&..202.224.3643 (tell him that Betsy DeVos sucksssssss!!!)
Mike Bock
What we see must be obvious to those closest to him. It may be his family that in the end will convince him to step down.
Terrell Shaw
From your keyboard to the mind of Ivanka! Please.
Sam Burnham
In his defense, he's trying to clean up a huge mess
Terrell Shaw
Come on, Sam. Nonsense.
Sam Burnham
Eight years of foreign policy incompetence has left a huge mess
The economy is stagnant,
Terrell Shaw
I'm trying to think.. from a libertarian viewpoint what is a "huge mess"..... In this instance I assume it is foreign affairs .... Ex Oeders barring immigration from nations with refugees under terrible pressure from authoritarian govt and "rebuilding" the largest and best military in history.
Sam Burnham
Foreign affairs is the biggest part of it
Terrell Shaw
Economy that recovered from the Grt Recession quicker and more strongly than most adv societies.
Sam Burnham
And pitiful wages and a record number out of the workforce
Terrell Shaw
Better quicker recovery than most adv societies. Lots of downsides to ecnomy but I'll sure take it over his predecessor... and considering the stalemate in our govt pretty doggone good.
Terrell Shaw
We both love America, but not much basic agreement on principle to make for reasoned argument. I assume you would repeal many of our amendments including direct election of senators, income tax, and more? If I understand, you woukd have opposed the constitution to begin with. . I love you, but have very basic disagreements.
Sam Burnham
Not exactly opposed to it.
Howard Smith
Terrell Shaw ...I think the huge mess he is trying to clean up is the one from his most recent visit to the CIA where he embarrassed himself, agents and the public by his remarks.
Laurie Craw
Sam Burnham Obama left a "mess"? When was there a time when world affairs were NOT a mess? Let's see, in the last century alone, two world wars, Korea, Cold War, Vietnam, Cuban missile crisis, Israeli-Arab wars, terrorist airliner hijackings and bombings everywhere, just for starters. Can't blame all that foreign policy "incompetence" on Barack Obama but I'm sure you will.
Howard Smith
And, while the economy is not growing as fast as we would like it is in a hell of a lot better shape now than it was when President Obama took office. And, correct me if I am wrong but President Obama did not spend more than two trillion dollars...as debt....to fight an unnecessary war as a result of mythical wmds...which cost the lives of more than 3000 American soldiers and left tens of thousands wounded for life.
Sam Burnham
Howard Smith he doubled the national debt in 8 years. More deploy than all 43 of his predecessors...in 8 years.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham Yes...and, there are reasons, not all good...but many beyond his control... And, for the record, he reduced the budget deficit substantially.
Howard Smith
President Obama was not perfect but he was a good man and he inspired us to be better. This cannot be said of Twit.
Sam Burnham
Laurie Craw since you brought it up: Korea was started by Truman, ended by Eisenhower. Vietnam was started by Johnson, ended by Nixon. The Cold War was started by Truman, won by Reagan
I do notice a pattern
Sam Burnham
Howard Smith you can't take credit for lowering the deficit while doubling our debt. The math doesn't add up
Luis Schnitzer Da Silva
Laurie Craw you left out the invasion and destruction of Iraq...
Dianna Edwards
Started by Bush 1
Tim Shiflett
I've aged ten years watching Trump. LOL
Bobby Morgan
we gonna be in a world of shit in another few months
Mary Clemones Stanley
Even in the sixth grade he scolded me for voting republican in our mock elect. I campaigned hard for Ford. He tried to convert me by saying how disappointed my grandfather would be. I thought he just really liked Jimmy Carter. I didn't know my favorite teacher was a nut case.
He's still my favorite teacher.
Terrell Shaw
I remember telling you about seeing your granddad's FDR pic in his office! But I certainly did NOT want you to feel scolded! I am so sorry and horrified that you felt that way.
Do you remember who won the primary election in our mock election? That blond little boy ... I will remmebr his name in a minute...(Richard Holcomb, I think!) asked me maybe just the day before the "debate" if he could speak for a candidate. I told him that --- some minor candidate, maybe Udall ---- did not have a spokesperson... so he was it. At the debate the little boy said: "Jimmy Carter reorganized state government and a lot of people lost their jobs! He may have fired YOUR dad or YOUR mom!" It's been 40 years and I may not remember it right, but it seems like Udall? may have actually won the vote that day! He at least made it a close vote. Tickled me to death and I'll betcha he got an A! Carter won the mock election in the fall though.
Mary Clemones Stanley
I bet every time one of your former students answers the security question: "Who was your favorite teacher? They type "Shaw." That is always my answer. You made us all feel important. Thank you!
Susan Polkinghorn
Drugs.
Laurie Craw
Since Trump made such a big deal about Hillary's physical stamina and played up her little episode of flu during the campaign, it's only right that we should remark on his apparent health issues. Right?
Tim Shiflett
I've made several remarks about his mental health issues, myself. (wink)
Chris Ozment
Several people have commented that Kellyanne has aged since since the early and middle of the campaign, also. I didn't believe it until someone posted the video below. I think she is now, and has been physically and mentally exhausted for a while now. I don't want to be critical of someone's appearance, but I think having to constantly defend him, offer rationalizations for what he does, etc, has taken it's toll on her conscious. As a result, it's showing. At one time, she clearly got it. As for Trump, I think few people would doubt that he used some sort of unflattering spray tan. He is using somethihg different now. Still spray tan product, but a different color. I think it makes him look a little older. https://www.facebook.com/OccupyDemocrats/videos/1390867671006283/
Sam Burnham
It's also worth pointing out that when tornadoes hit the reliably Democratic 2nd district Obama did nothing for 18 days. Trump had relief en route in less than a week.
And I'm not even a Trump voter. I just decided to give the man a chance for the sake of our republic.
Paula Graves
Isn't that the Governor's job? To ask for assistance?
Sam Burnham
Paula Ledbetter Graves he did.
Paula Graves
I want to read about it. Where was this?
Paula Graves
For Obama and Trump please.
Sam Burnham
Paula Ledbetter Graves Albany, Georgia. First Tornado hit on January 2. Second tornado hit this past Sunday.
Here's an article: http://www.macon.com/news/local/article128841919.html
Paula Graves
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to read it now.
The article says that Trump was responsible for both. He called Deal on the Jan 2 and they are waiting to hear about the most recent one. Is there a separate article about Obama?
Sam Burnham
Paula Ledbetter Graves Obama was president until January 20. He never even called.
Paula Graves
That's what I'm unsure about. Why would Trump have anything to do with processing the paperwork or calling Deal? Maybe he and Obama worked together? I have absolutely no idea.
Sam Burnham
Nor did he call about Hurricane Matthew or any other disaster in the last 7 years - there have been several.
Paula Graves
Well that isn't true. He called before it even hit land.
http://www.politicususa.com/.../hurricane-matthew...
Sam Burnham
Trump called because he actually cared about Georgia beyond Atlanta fundraisers.
Paula Graves
It is an interesting point that I'd like to know the answer to. There's probably some legislation there that I'm too lazy to read about. Regardless of who contacted Deal, the people of Georgia got help!
Paula Graves
Sam Burnham lol. Riiiiggghhhhttttt.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham I think you just arguing just for the sake of argument which is why I would enjoy drinking with you...
Sam Burnham
Howard Smith I can do that, to be honest. But I think it's getting more important to me as I age to give folks a chance and see what they'll do rather than just look for ways to run them out of office because I disagree with them. I didn't like President Obama's policies but I never sided with the impeachment bunch because I know what that entails, the damage it does to our system of government and the damage it does to us as a people. I'm not crazy about President Trump. But he's our president and we owe him a chance.
I WANT to believe in our executive branch and in our federal system. It's all we have right now.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham He said he liked to "Grab them by the pussy." He said, " I tried to fuck her" knowing she was married. He said troubled young girls are the best in bed. He cheated on his first wife with his second and his second with his third. He just settled, practically speaking admitted guilt, to fraud. He says 3 to 5 million Americans illegally voted because of his ego. He supports torture....but, was a draft dodger himself...and, on and on....and, I could go on...but, when someone shows you who they are believe them.
Sam Burnham
You're right. And I find him personally disgusting. I would never want my sons to look to him as a role model for manhood.
But we decided a few years ago that a man's personal life, especially his sex life, has no bearing on his ability to govern this nation. That's now a standard to hold (or rather, to not hold) presidents to.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham Admitting to being a sexual predator, admitting to sexual assault, bragging about it....vulgar, profain "locker room" talk about women is quite different than any previous president. The character of this man does not compare to Obama. Maybe you think character doesn't matter in a leader but it does....seriously, it does.
Sam Burnham
I think it does. But we dropped it as a requirement in the 90s.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham No Sam, we did not. You are glossing over reality for the convenience of an argument. President Obama refutes your argument.
John Barnett
Howard Smith Clinton??????
Sam Burnham
You and I have very different assessments of President Obama's character. And we're fortunate to live in a nation where that's allowed.
I'll say this. Carter had character. Coolidge had character. Tyler had character. Washington had character. Adams had character. I hope I live to see a day when we have character like that in our White House again. But considering our society doesn't have an abundance of that sort of character, I have my doubts.
Howard Smith
John Barnett Yes, Clinton commited adultry....but, never bragged about it, never bragged about sexual assault..still married to his first wife...never made fun of handicapped people, never called Mexicans rapists..never insulted everyone who disagreed with him, never had to settle a lawsuit for fraud....etc....yes..there is a difference.
Howard Smith
Sam Burnham I guess we do. Worked hard to get a good education without a silver spoon. He has been faithful to his wife, inspired us with his words, conducted himself with poise and dignity, failed to go on twitter attacks because he was criticized, not afraid to laugh at himself, to play with children, to sing out loud, to cry in public, to care genuinely care about the welfare of Americans, their health, living wage, etc, to be genuine...and, to lead our country back from economic collapse. Trump will never be able to hold a candle to the man Obama is....period.
Laurie Craw
I remember that Jan. 2 tornado response. Our governor and a Rep congressman, I believe it was, did not call on President Obama but called Trump, who was not even president at the time. When asked by reporters why they hadn't call the president for help, they said, "Because we have a close personal relationship with Mr. Trump." That's grossly disrespectful for Georgia Republicans to bypass a sitting president!
Terrell Shaw
Sam, I can understand your principled ( tho mistaken of course) policy diff w Pres Obama, but cannot imagine how anyone could attack his character.
Paula Graves
Sam Burnham - I found why Obama didn't respond. Deal contacted Trump and not Obama. Same thing for the Ft. Lauderdale shootings. The FL governor called Trump and not Obama. Also, no funding has been paid for the Jan 2nd tornadoes yet according to Deal.
Suanne Bierman Laqueur
Trump's had chances all his life to serve the public and took none. At the end of his first week in office, I have zero confidence that at the age of 70 he's going to have a miraculous personality transformation and start putting himself second.
Sam Burnham
Laurie Craw when you've been bypassed by that sitting president for seven years, you kinda get the picture that he doesn't care about you.
Tracy S Lawler
And he has not had to truly deal with any real "problems" yet other than read scripts read by other and sign his name to executive orders written by who-knows-who. I guess he is ready for his "weekend off" - being President is not just all show...now is it?
Suanne Bierman Laqueur
Well if Trump put the phone down and got 6-7 decent hours of sleep at night. Ran on the treadmill for an hour in the morning, then took his Ritalin like he's supposed to, maybe he'd feel, look and act a lot better...
....Nah. Never mind.
David Matheny
He.s got the strongest thumbs...The best!
Julie Adair
He's not gonna last a month.
Chereta Gordon
Insanity speeds the aging process and I'm sure his insanity is peppered with a little dementia. I truly hope some one is monitoring his mental health!
