    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

Obama to troops: "You guys make a pretty good photo op"


What if Palin said it?

I'm speechless. Bring back the teleprompter.

Okay......

I asked my children, who are 15 1/2, 13, & 10 1/2 yrs. old, what they thought about this question (without telling them who said it). They said it was "demeaning", "sarcastic", "made it sound like all our troops are good for is a photo".

Then, without me saying a word, two of them said pretty much the same thing, at the same time, "Obama said it, didn't he?"

Sad.......this man hasn't been in office for 1 year yet (sorry to depress those have forgotten this) and my children, as are others, are used to him saying dumb and inappropriate things.

Have we EVER had a president this bad.....this humiliating?

Ah, but isn't that one of the things we love about her, that we can't imagine her saying such a callous thing, ever, but especially not to our troops?
