I have never gone much on politics anyway. I too don't have much time for Kennedy anyway, not after that fiasco at Chappaquidick.

Does it really matter who will be the next US president? Will people, the 'man in the street' as we used to say, be consulted before troops are sent to interfere in the troubles of other countries? I don't think so.<BR/>Will people be consulted before taxes are increased? Before new taxes are invented? I don't think so. So, plus ca change ... (Sorry, can't type the accents on blogger.)<BR/>What moved me most about the Democrats' convention was Edward Kennedy... No fan of his (I don't have to spell out why, do I?) I thought that finally he's doing something right.<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.

I think Hilary would have been a great choice. If I were Obama, given the US record, I would be very, very afraid.<BR/><BR/>Don't like McCain's running mate, anti abortion, anti gun control, thinks global warming is nothing to do with human activity. <BR/><BR/>Course were about to have an election here so the TV ads have already started, doesn't go on too long thank goodness.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-59373892925921703562008-08-30T09:18:00.000-04:002008-08-30T09:18:00.000-04:00Obama and King isn't an association that I would n...Obama and King isn't an association that I would necessarily have made. I'm afraid he strikes me as a bit of a used car salesman, a 'wide boy' as we say. McCain strikes me as likely to be weak where it counts, which isn't a good sign. La Clinton is so sharp she could cut herself - and I haven't forgotten the last time the Clintons were in power - but I still think she'd make the strongest and most capable president out of the three. Then again, maybe that's just a case of 'better the devil you know' ... :)hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-83145529359172397602008-08-29T19:28:00.000-04:002008-08-29T19:28:00.000-04:00The word Salsa actually means sauce in Spanish. Ho...The word Salsa actually means sauce in Spanish. However, over here it has come to mean a particular type of sauce made with tomatoes and other vegetable and which ranges from mild to extremely spicy, generally sold in bottles and is often served with chips or something as a dip. There are 100s of recipes of how to make it as well.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for Obama, a lot of people are predicting the same thing.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-76291588522855295532008-08-29T16:26:00.000-04:002008-08-29T16:26:00.000-04:00what IS Salsa ??? it sounds so exotic to my ears ^...what IS Salsa ??? it sounds so exotic to my ears ^^<BR/><BR/>In France we see Obama as a nice guy, and a real Showman, quite american like. Most of my work colleague say he might be dead before he might really sit in the White House as it sound 'a dream' to have a black american president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
