  • Oh no.... I don't think he's anything like as slimy!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: And I've not seen Barack do the "big smile, head tilt, I'm on your side, " expression!
    Oh don't remind me:eek:
    But a lot of people were really hopeful when he got elected, think that is why so many are cynical now.
    Also Flower you're right as the the first black president he does have a lot of people's hope in his hands. But he's changed the world and people's expectations just by having been elected. :T :T :j :j :T :T
    Yes, but however good he could be he has inherited such a pile of carp that he will have to sort out first. Question is will he be given time to do it.

    It makes a huge difference to how we feel in the morning. And because it starts gently your melatonin (sp) production stops, and your cortisole (sp) starts. I wouldn't be without it now on these crappy mornings. Esp as we get up at 6.30am.
    Thanks for that SS. I had thought about those, then thought a lot of money now I don't need to get up early, but I'm now in danger of wasting the time I have to do the things I want to do IYSWIM.
