Obama doesn't mind using taxpayer money to fly his own fine self around the world for foolish reasons. In fact, he even took O-One for a ride halfway across the country just to plant a tree for Arbor Day. Smart move, huh?? If he is so concerned that business people, those who are actually building businesses and hiring people in this country, have jets, perhaps he should cool his own now and then. What a hippocrite!!!

Dictionary definition--Dhimmitude is a neologism first found in French denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands. Frankly, I am no longer interested in Muslim demands, including those of Obama, other than to reject every last one of them soundly. And if that means I also have to reject the concerns of Christian Scientists, et al, so be it. Thankfully, there is still time to get rid of this Obamonstrosity.

You sound pretty scared--out of your wits, actually. Most people who persist in antagonizing others by irrational behavior are frightened silly about something. You must be scared about your dinar-investment, huh?

Hmmm . . . Anyone can be a nay-sayer. It doesn't take any thought, effort, or even a risk of failure to whine and complain, all while trying to convince other, more hopeful people, that they are wrong!!! It's your "just as i said it would" line that shows you want to win the argument, even if you lose the war.

People have many reasons to sell their dinar. Some of them got caught up in the instant results they thought were coming. Some have life-circumstances that have changed for which they need the money they invested. People have as many reasons to sell as had reasons to buy. Some simply didn't realize they would have to wait for a while. When the dinar RV's, the banks will be competing frantically to buy your dinar, and currency dealers will buy it back now. But it's a shame if you sell it because the day will come, and in the not too distant future, when you will wish fervently you still owned dinar. . . . However, this investment just isn't right for everyone. So whatever you do, I wish you well.

Wow!! Interesting!! Thanks for the information.

Oops. Sorry. Meant to give you a +.

Needlessly unkind!! Just sayin'

Okie has met this argument before. Someone else suggested this same thing, said it was illegal for O to do this without getting it passed through Congress, and Okie, very snidely, replied, "Haven't you ever heard of a Presidential Order? Look it up. . . ." And he also said, "It's also illegal to sell guns to Mexican drug lords without congressional approval, but read the news about that!!" (All of this is heavily paraphrased, but I'm sure you get the idea). But . . . if Congress did pass a bill for new taxes, they would just exempt themselves from it. So go figure.

God bless each of them and their families!! Now they are with God!!!

Thank you for your service!! My prayers are always with you!! Take care and come home soon!!

I'm there. Happy Birthday, 429!! And many, many more!!

Uh-huh.

I constantly appreciate this woman's common sense and straight talking. She is very special among those who write about the dinar and the Iraqi political/economic situation.

Ole' Maliki has held the world by the tail and enjoyed the power of being able to hold everything up. The US won't have to raise the debt ceiling if Maliki stops posturing and gets something done. If I understand right, we'll be able to pay our debts after the RV. (Just like me--I can also pay off my debts after the RV). lol Besides, didn't Biden go over there the other day to give Maliki a swift kick in the pants? The US isn't going to wait around much longer. Obama has some pretty bad financial poll numbers right now, so he would love to take credit for a financial solution, and this one is just sitting there waiting for us--except for that pesky Maliki. So I'd say Maliki's recent behavior is on limited time.

This is another of those unclear translations. What??!!

I thought this was very funny and knew you were writing it, tongue-in-cheek. I hope you don't mind, but I even sent a copy to my sister who also has dinars, knowing she, like me, would get a big laugh about it. I couldn't believe so many people missed the point and actually thought you were serious. Frankly, I think your idea is delightful and just wish we could make congress pass a law and really do this. haha Good job!!

PARAPROSDOKIANS: I had to look up "paraprosdokian". Here is the definition: "Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation." "Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of paraprosdokian. Ok, so now enjoy! And feel free to add some of your own. 1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. 2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list. 3. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. 5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. 6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. 7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. 8. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good Evening,' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. 9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. 10. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. 11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks. 12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.' 13. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. 14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. 15. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. 16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory. 17. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. 18. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. 19. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. 20. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away. 21. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure. 22. You're never too old to learn something stupid. 23. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. 24. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. 25. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. 26. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. 27. A diplomat is someone who tells you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip. 28. Hospitality is making your guests feel at home even when you wish they were. 29. I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila. 30. When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

Then would you say that it's just the proverbial "smoke and mirrors"?

I, for one, relate!!

I'll be there too. It will be exciting to watch this thing happen when all of us are focused on it all at one time. I have heard and I believe that doing this collectively can create miracles. And I'm overdue for one.

No one seems to know who he is. They exempt themselves from everything else they impose on us. Why not this?

All good reminders.
