May your crops be bountiful.<br /><br />Okay, now about the serious stuff, amen. every time I read comments on some news story about the president or first lady, or some observations on a message board, I am thoroughly disgusted with the level of hate and viciousness that goes way beyond being critical of some policy or action on behalf of the administration. Your voice of reason and decency is so refreshing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614116686638969278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-32338220625925078842009-06-17T00:03:21.626-04:002009-06-17T00:03:21.626-04:00First, the garden looks fantastic and as I was rea...First, the garden looks fantastic and as I was reading I was on guard for any worm/slug talk. Well done. <br />Secondly, I was impressed by what you have written, observed and offered as a perspective for people to absorb.

Bush. There definitely was a lot of rhetoric and hatred involved there, and as I wrote to Dan, I'm a lot more involved in Blogtropolis now, so I'm more aware of the invective aimed towards Pres. Obama. <br /><br />I do, however, think that the level of nastiness coming from talk radio, and the blogs that I come across, is much higher than that going on during Bush's presidency. The level of ANGER is much higher in the country right now, and I believe it's up to all of us, including talk radio hosts, to regain a sense of reason and bring it down several notches. This hatred is not helping matters, and if it continues, I believe that more people will be hurt. None of us want that! I know we can all agree on that!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-14485929513999621632009-06-16T00:50:47.676-04:002009-06-16T00:50:47.676-04:00Fuck this, I'm moving to Canada. ;)~ And Sla...Fuck this, I'm moving to Canada. ;)~ And Slappy, I think it's a tad more severe this go around. Bush had the whole old white guy thing going on. Being the first black president is far harder than it will be for any other president to come. You can't honestly fucking compare the two. Isn't there anything you can just agree on rather than throw in some reason why the 'publicans had it just as bad? I would appreciate your opinions a lot more if they were so far close minded.<br />Love,<br />JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809818104596108203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-67440260146523465772009-06-16T00:04:24.337-04:002009-06-16T00:04:24.337-04:00Hi Beth,

It is the vitrol that this behaviour is being encouraged, as if it is okay to hate the President.<br /><br />This is taking it up a notch. This will lead to disrespect to the office. And that is another matter entirely.Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-24605610286923557022009-06-15T23:24:32.351-04:002009-06-15T23:24:32.351-04:00Agree with you about the sentiment.

There was a movie about his fictional assasination, among many other things, and comments galore that were out of line. Doesn't mean it should be tit for tat now, but it *was* out there.Slapinionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529719175797428220noreply@blogger.com
