I don't even get what your saying or the concept of "whining". Please tell us, why you think we should whine???

Think I'd rather be a nation of winners and people who want to get ahead on their own two feet. My kids know if they whine they get nothing, guess not all parents teach their kids to stand on their own. Whining is for people who don't know any better.
No wait.... I actually misread a word.

You said 'me', not 'time'. Somehow I time from that and thought you were saying it was about time we became a nation of whiners. I WASN'T saying we should be a nation of whiners at all. Just a miss there.

My bad.

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.…

Ok now, the thing here is that a real news organization doesn't just read something in a newspaper and then go with it assuming it's true. A real news organization would have called the White House to get their side of the story. Also that one line in that Maine newspaper does NOT say that Bo was on a private plane, or as Fox puts it "his own special jet airplane" Fox News should know, and I'm sure they do but they ignore it because it gets in the way of their Obama bashing, is that when the President travels, any President not just Obama, there is NEVER just one plane. There are always other planes for staff and reporters and such. In fact I'm not sure but I think there might even be a backup Air Force

Oh yeah, that claim about Bo flying on his own personal jet? FALSE
Who in their right mind (pun intended) needs more proof.

I'm just glad you don't want us to all get out there and whine...........even in the Bible when they whined the people got nothing good, as it it being easier.

Nothing good comes from whining, they need to be protesting in a civil manner and go home at night. Not quiting their jobs or feeling the world owes them. Civil protest is good and it would be nice if these people really knew what they wanted. When asked they don't even have a solution or an idea.

Think most are there so they can get credit and be out of school. Oh yeah, let's not forget those aging hippies reliving the 60's!!

Yeah the ones that President Obama encouraged to keep it up!! He likes chaos and he wants our country to be on the same playing field as the rest of the world. We represent a nation of Strong & Free. We need to stay that way, unless your ready for China and Russia to own you.

If this President can't be #1, quit apoligizing and blaming anyone and everyone, he needs to step down.

America 'DUMBED-DOWN' in 2008 when they elected a man President who was totally unwqualified for the job. Voting based on color is never a good idea, and that is EXACTLY what a good percentage of America did in 2008. It sure as hell wasn't based on his qualifications.

NOW look at the mess we are in!! And please don't pull the RACE card on me...I am supporting HERMAN CAIN for President. At least he has a clue about managing a big business.....and here's a clue...that is EXACTLY what this government has become...BIG BUSINESS.

The color of a man's skin doesn't matter a bit. But his abilities DO..and the current occupier is only good at pandering. He has none of America's interests at heart. Instead, he and his handlers are out to reshape this country. Change it from a free democracy whose economy is based on capitalism....to a socialist nation...where the government runs EVERYTHING.

That isn't what is right for this country. And you left wing lunatics aren't going to get away with it.
