#1 Mrs. Obama, who said she favors Portuguese Water Dogs.

Ted Kennedy has Portuguese Water Dogs. One of them's named "Splash".
I always thought that was some kinda cruel joke...

#2 "We haven't had that time together for (years), so that explains a lot why we all feel so good in this space."

Reassuring to hear bloody SOMEONE "feels good" about your being in that space.

#4 "waffles and grits"

Well you are what you eat, the waffle part anyway. Maybe the other is for your gizzard, you lovebirds.

#9 Seriously, bet they do NOT get a DOG, but a playtoy, meaning no real working dogs, like Labradors, Shepherds, or even Beagles.

I know bush had a Black Scottie, that's sorta a working dog,(Look on bottles of Black & White) and when he bit the reporter my admiration for the breed jumped up several notches.

#12 I thought it was inappropriate for Michelle to attend the speech last night in a sleeveless dress. The setting is more formal, with the assembled Congress, Cabinet, Supreme Court, and Joint Chiefs.

Feh.

#15 Sleeves, who need'm, but, but, but.......

"we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. “We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day,” she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. “Folks are just jammed up, and it’s gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I’m young. Forty-four!”

From these bleak generalities, Obama moves into specific complaints. Used to be, she will say, that you could count on a decent education in the neighborhood. But now there are all these charter schools and magnet schools that you have to “finagle” to get into. (Obama herself attended a magnet school, but never mind.) Health care is out of reach (“Let me tell you, don’t get sick in America”), pensions are disappearing, college is too expensive, and even if you can figure out a way to go to college you won’t be able to recoup the cost of the degree in many of the professions for which you needed it in the first place. “You’re looking at a young couple that’s just a few years out of debt,” Obama said. “See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn’t have trust funds. I’m still waiting for Barack’s trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s’posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!”
