I almost hit a pedestrian today. I was driving down the street at 40 miles per hour (the speed limit). He was wearing headphones and I guess he just didn't look and he just dashed across the middle of the street. I honked as I tried to stop and I had to swerve into the other lane to avoid him at the last second. It wasn't my fault at all, but I can't imagine how bad I would have felt if I'd smashed into that guy. It was so scary.

I think it's stupid to expect ANY president to be 100% aware of what EVERY person in his administration is doing. Do you tell your boss everything you do at work? Does he then tell his boss? I'm not saying the actions weren't wrong, I'm saying the president has things to do other than check up on his close to 3 million employees!

I am sad for you that he said he enjoys his freedom and is leaving you and your son.. But the rest of the world saw it coming a mile away. Pretty much everyones response was how could she not have known this was going to happen? And yes, you might have been a good wife but no one is perfect. You very often live in a fantasy land where you ignore and avoid reality. Personally, I do not usually condone divorce but I do think you will be much better off without him.

We bring in 250k a year with one income. When people talk about raising taxes, that is where it starts. I don't care how people perceive it, I care about the reality of my taxes being raised. 250k barely qualifies you for a small home where I live. Our entire area is very expensive which is why we are paid more. Please talk about the .001% getting tax breaks and the like. Don't lump all of us together. Govt. knows they won't raise enough revenue if they went afer multi millionaires.

Forgot who it was that said that most people think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but that quote has never seemed more true than when i hear this reactionary defense of the 1%. Glad people are looking out for that most oppressed of minorities, the upper echelon wealthy Americans who own this country.

I think it's pretty easy to understand why the 99% don't understand. They are not as educated, they don't know 1%ers nor do they have a clue as to how they use their money. They believe everything that figure heads tell them instead of checking the information and understanding economics. I don't know any multi millionaires who don't contribute a great deal to the economy and don't create jobs in the US. Creating jobs in India also creates jobs here. It's all interconnected. 1%ers start at 250k. A lot of people who make that live in very expensive areas and have less disposable income.

I can't stand most other military wives. In general they are so snotty and hard to be around. I really hope I don't turn into that.

I think its silly and wasteful that they are going to tear down the Sandy Hook elementary school and build a new one at a cost of 58 million dollars. I understand the pain associated with the building, but tear it down and put a park or something there that can bring joy to the community. I can't see how replacing one building for another, in the exact same location, is going to help ease the pain.

I used to visit OSMW often. But I have realized, there is no point in putting people down. I dont agree with wearing your husband's rank, saying you serve when he is enlisted, etc. But I also dont agree with bashing on the wives that do that. Why do I need to put them down? Im sure I do things other spouses dont agree with too. And yes, him being in the military is something to be proud of. He chose a career where he does put his life at risk. Not the same as working at McDonalds. I would still be proud but it is a different pride.

The USA has an official motto of We're number One? I don't think so. There might be a few people who say that (often immigrants) but it hardly represents the entire country of 300 million.
