I liked both of First Lady Michelle's outfits.
The Lemongrass outfit looked great.
And I thought she looked like a princess going to
the ball in her gown. Watching those two during the
first dance was wonderful. Good wishes to our first family.

All I am interested in right now is all this "bail out" money that is disappearing into the pockets of the rich!
Generations after us will still be paying this debt.
Every day more and more companies are laying off or closing - and the picture is not getting better.
Every day thousands more homes are being foreclosed.
Too bad they wouldn't bail out the people instead of the companies that will tell what they are doing with them money.
but think about it - if they gave everyone in America $500,000 it would be cheaper than what they have paid out so far. And what would we do with it? Probably buy homes, cars, furniture, clothes, food, etc. and that would keep people working. There was a conversation about this weeks ago on MSNBC - and some clown said that the people didn't deserve stimulus checks. What good would it be giving the people money - so they could go out and buy a coffeemaker? That ticked me off. If we don't buy goods we are knocking people out of jobs. but maybe that clown was right - if we did buy a coffee maker we would probably be keeping the Chinese is business. They make everything anyway. We don't make anything here anymore. Even Ford, GM, etc. have their parts made in Mexico and China, etc.
But I'm just a dumb blonde and all these bigwigs in the Congress and Senate just want to do it their way. They got there because they are smarter (cough cough) than all of us.
Banks are not giving loans - but they got trillions. I don't see the banks offering ten percent interest on any savings accounts out there. I don't see prices going down on anything at all. As a matter of fact - food items that used to be 2/$4 last year, went to 2/$5, then 2/$6 and now are 3/$10 and soon to be 2/$10 - all in less than a year.
In New York they now want to put a 54% tax on all regular (not diet) pop. Are they trying to kill us? Those artificual sweeteners will kill us! Gas prices are back up again and they have added a couple new taxes to it to make sure it stays up there and gets higher.
Years ago the older your car got the cheaper your car insurance - not any more - it keeps going up.
Now our country is going to take over the banking industry.
We are heading into a So******t Republic - good bye to democracy.
Time to think about giving up my citizenship and heading for Canada............
So Mr. President - what are you going to do about this whole thing????
Better you than me Mr. President - I wouldn't want your job!
May God bless you!

Maybe we will be lucky, assuming the Bible and the ancient records are true, and all we have to do is live to the end of the Age (of Pisces) and we enter the "Golden Age" of peace and harmony. Of course what is written in the Book of Revelation, the last book before the end of the Age, is not that pretty.
The question perhaps is, will President Obama and his administration lead us through it like a Pied Piper or dragged through it kicking and screaming.
