Okay, so President Obama mentioned South Korea three times to one shout-out for Russia (kind of cool for me, 'cause Oldest lives in Korea). And, did I dream it, or did he say we need to get rid of subsidies for Big Oil?

Anytime ANY politician doesn't like an entity they attach "Big" to it....but never big government. :) fdb p.s. How does Davis like Korea? Most interesting, I would think.
What's the old saw? How do you know a politician is lying: his lips are moving! Anyway, Frandy, Davis loves living in Korea. His "hitch" teaching English is up in July, but he may stay another year.
I really enjoy listening to our President speak. Its so refreshing after the last drone who served his term up there.
I also appreciated the fact that the two sides seemed to agree on most issues. That said, I can't imagine why anyone would want to get into politics...
I enjoyed the speech too, Star. Politics is a nasty business, and it's difficult to imagine that anyone who is successfuly managed to get there without making lots of compromises. I liked Clinton, the President, but didn't admire Clinton, the Man. I could take his "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" with a grain of salt; much like I'd imagine big Reagan fans accepted "I did not trade weapons for hostages". My pop was pretty conservative (well, in politics, if not lifestyle), and explained away the Nixon burglaries and dirty tricks as "everybody does it, he just got caught". Whatever gets you through the night, I guess.
I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck.
I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?
