have a congressman who have all witnessed the religious discrimination and hostility going on at the houston national cemetery. i think it s time that the v.a. stopped trying to call our nation s heroes liars and instead fess up and start changing its ways and end its religious intolerance at this cemetery. here s the thing. they say that they received the cemetery received a complaint in 2010 of a family member from a family member who was upset because the military funeral honors included a reference to christianity. they did not want that reference to christianity. they did not want any religious symbols so essentially, the move was made to provide only general condolences without religious reference. that s the case, according to the v.a. lisa, you say that the situation seems a bit different. explain. well, when i went to go make my husband s arrangements, when i got to the funeral home, the funeral director and i were talking and i was with a friend of mine who was very a
what had happened thus far. so you ve got the optics of the prime minister of great britain there at 10 downey street and then given the fact that our president is on vacation, you know, there he is right there. it would be hard for him to make a statement at nancy s restaurant where he was yesterday. at the white house, you travel with all sorts of things that you might need to look presidential. you got the blue backdrop, the seven flags, or however many flags it is and the podium and you can do that type of thing. something always happens in august. and then the other thing the white house communications office is dealing with is an insatiable press corps. and they want to know, when s the statement? when s the statement? the problem for making a statement right now is that we don t know where qaddafi is. we kind of need to wait. i m a little surprised that david cameron made that statement so early but i guess he s got a different stwags. and the white house released some
african-americans so hopefully, you know, the obviously, if we push innovation, to me, innovation is where jobs come from, you know, historically, you know, ronald reagan s quote that i love, putting people first has always been america s secret weapon, he said that, right? so i think that if we think about how can we push innovation, what can we do but at the same time, take a step back in our lives and say, you know what? money is a tool. most of us have been taught that money is a result so we chase it. almost like addicts chase a fix, right? if we take a step back and say money is a tool we can use to do what we want. that s the question. another question is regarding the very high unemployment in the country, even higher in the african-american community which we just detailed right there. the president has suddenly got critics in the congressional black caucus where they re saying, you know, on his bus trip, why didn t he visit any black communities? what is he going to do ab
there in green square, ryan, not all those people have been on the same side their whole lives. that s exactly right. if you look at the opposition, you can see this divide. there s some commanders on the ground that actually have worked with the foreign fighters that fought us in iraq and afghanistan. but then you look at the top and the vice chairman now we re supporting them. yes. but the vice chairman says there s no room in libya for an islamic state which the toughest language you can expect from that part of the world. there s a divide even within the opposition. then you have some other people there that want a sharia based state and that s very frightening as well. what does that mean for the united states and our effort to try to set up a government there, at least assist or support the government there? we have to go beyond trying to set up a government and helping the secular elements compete with the islamists. one of the thing that bothers me is a draft consti
top contender according to one poll, he s up by 18 points and he had so much scrutiny on him. people feared him so much that every word out of his mouth is examined. yet, when governor perry did get in, it brought up other names, tom. the trial lawyers which is eye major democratic constituency are circling the wagons and raising money against rick perry. obviously, he is a threat to the president. sarah palin is in the same position that she was in two or three years ago. she s got to decide whether or not she wants to be a celebrity or she wants to be a leader and if she s going to get in, she has to get in now. the major donors are being gobbled up by both romney and by perry. and chris christie is the base loves chris christie and what he s done with the union. the big story is and this goes to you, david, when governor huckabee was thinking about it and mitch daniels was thinking about it, it looked as though president obama was untouchable. he was going to run away with thi
