Even the oldest grandson's talk of suicide if he doesn't get to see his Nana does not sway her. It's common belief that grandparents have nothing to add to the growth of a child. The Ex-daughter-in-law feels that the old ways need to be forgotten because of the trouble they have brought to this country. Yup, The EX-D-i-l- is a teacher at the local high school and apparently this is their MO, seperate the old folks from the kids so as to fill their heads with crap that the teachers feel is what the little darlings should know (Propaganda of course) to socially engineer the kids for their own good and the educators own agenda. Perhaps the alienation of the elderly grandparents will make "kill granny" more acceptable in the future. The ex-D-I-L and the son divorced on his second tour to Iraq. He is currently remarried and the ex D-I-L is living unmarried with a Mexican man. sweet ain't it?

So, no more recommended mammograms for women over 74.

0zero’s MIL will be well taken care of by FLOTUS.

Why would she give any second thought to us, didn’t
she raise Mrs. “I have never been proud of….”?

But its a possible logical conclusion to the question posed by the other commenter, in the general sense. I have no clue what that dude really wants most of the time since he says one thing and does another so much.

But the point is about now, not then. Onama wants a bill passed. I don't think it matters much to him what it is just so long as it has some provisions (some of which are good ones.) IndianaDem (BTW, I used to live in Indiana and was a big supporter of Evan Bayh--had a couple of fundraisers in our home for him) I have read both the House and the Senate bill as best I can. (If you have or if you try you will see how unreadable much of it is and how very ambiguous most of it is in terms of what will actually happen.) But the signs are ominous for older Americans. Most of us here are Democrats and know so well what traditional Democrats have given to this country. But the party is changing--and many of us are appalled with what is going on now, starting with how the primaries were handled. It's no longer the party I joined and had been loyal to for so many years. Lots of folks–including older folks–wish they hadn’t voted for him. But the point is about now, not then.

I'll answer it, but will have to rephrase the question to do it fairly: "Are you suggesting that people who don’t support and disagree with Barack Obama have no concern for the well-being of their parents and grandparents?" I hope they have concerns, but if they really did, they would not support him in my opinion. I see the strategy of calling us haters has worn thin, since it is merely a projection of hating those of us who dissent from the group-think of Obama supporters. Calling us loathers is the same kind of projection: you loath our dissent.

Are you suggesting that people who don’t share a loathing of Barack Obama have no concern for the well-being of their parents and grandparents?
