^^^not everything with a vag.ina and bossoms is worthy of being called a lady. that transvestite or whatever she calls herself is an animal plus she has the IQ of an unborn baby. she misunderstood a metaphorical statement i made and started calling my parents names. a "lady" does not reel off such uncivilized verbosity. she claims she is in the US so u expect a little more decency,but this babes to me is likely in the slums of mushin cuz she sounds like a typical lagos gutter girl to me

*blank stare*

You're not serious.

Aloy_Emeka:

Stoning him will be worse than what he did to her. I will not advocate for that just that I wonder how she is sure the man will not batter her again and this time it may be fatal.

That's why I like oyibo women, if her husband needs her support to achieve a political post, she will demand for his most prized possession before standing by him. This is the opportunity for olori to get whatever she wants from him and also demand for the 2nd wife to be sent home.

But bargaining doesn't change the behavior. Look at her arms; she's covered in hematomas and we have no idea what the damage is like under her wrapper. That's unacceptable and shows the ex-Deji (how shameful is it to actually have to type something like that?) lacks control/sense. If he doesn't get the chance to Ike Turner his ex-wife, he'll do it to the next woman in his life. The next woman may not be lucky enough to escape with her life.

I'd love to hear the ex-Deji's response to all of this.

Ileke-IdI:

Obviously, she's being blackmailed or threatened. . . . duh

That pix was taken while she was in the hospital. . . . after being beaten by her hubby. Her hair was the last thing on her mind.

I feel terrible!   I had no idea that the picture was taken in the hospital; I only saw the tiny snapshot in the OP. Oh, I feel awful; poor thing. That's what her husband did to her? He's disgusting and should be buried up to his neck and stoned.

evil666:

@Travelista
Bone? what do u mean?
to ?

You're joking, right? She wants to bump 'n' grind, play hide the snake, tango between the sheets. . .Seun, these censors are killing me. She wants SEX! I'm sure you know that but instead of doing the damn thing, you're online asking us to decipher a straight forward text!

*stares at picture*

Did she really let them take a picture of her in her hair net? *takes deep breath* She needs to sit down; she probably just misses the privileges of being Queen and rationalizes that a few love taps are worth being fawned over. I'm still mad at that picture of her; all she's missing is chewing stick fragments around her mouth to complete the portrait.

She wants to bone.

precap2:

If you can't inferr that, then from where do you derive your logic? Look at the entire thing and be honest to yourself.

But like I said a few posts above, the bride is the only complainant and she can't even convince us, when the guy yarn, emotions go run riot.

Holla moi finally!

Whoa, captain! The only inferences regarding the relationship came from other posters and not the bride. Unless you can point out an instance where the OP herself does so, you're grasping at straws.

deniyor:

@travelista and poster
His citizenship is not important and should not be a critera to date someone. If he lies about his citizenship status, then there is trust issues and like you say what other lies? But she has no reason to believe he has been lying about it so far. What you are saying is, she should investigate something he claimed to have. Without any reason  to disbelieve he has it , other than he might be scamming her or after her citizenship. That is just plain wrong, and mistrusting. There has to be trust, the lack of trust is a relationship killer anyday. I am a very open person in my relationships and I do not believe in lying.  

^^^^ I really wish he would see this post.

His citizenship isn't important in the way you think; it's an issue of whether he's telling the truth. If he starts out the relationship with a lie, then he has to continue to support the previous fib. The main thing is that he's a man she met on Craigslist and (unfortunately) Nigerian men have a bad rep in this country; it's a shame but it is what it is. She has to protect herself and I suggested googling the guy but PinkRiver says she's tried to no avail. I really wish some of you men would stop being so sensitive and be rational. She's met a man on a portal that has been the stomping ground of men looking to kill women; I'm going to be worried whether the man is Nigerian, Apache, German or from the lost city of Atlantis. It's the decent thing to do, so stop acting as if you've been personally slapped and give the girl some useful advice. Damn!

kobikwelu:


unfortunately, its called facing reality.

u can be the ostrich sticking only its head in a hole feeling its hiding.

i know its an ugly site, it aint pretty but thats life

if you know the dude wants the juice, DONT COLLECT HIS STUFF AND YOU WOULD HAVE THE MORAL HIGHGROUND TO MESS HIM UP

kip it up with the escapist postulates

No, that's your reality. Not everyone is going to feel the way that you do. What people are describing is hooking, plain and simple. Morality has nothing to do with the issue other than one person mentioned it and others parroted it back; some even repeated the sentiment word for word and I think that's hilarious but it goes off topic, so let's leave that alone. The OP is nothing more than a challenge to this guy; she should save herself the heartache and embarrassment and leave while she still can.

CyberG:

Who is the loser called Travelstupid. . .trying to make another loser by very useless advice? Look, poster, even when you get advice (from strangers) use your brains first, then your heart before believing everything you read especially if it is overly-negative or overly-positive! I am a guy who is from the same area as the man in question, I  have my native name but I use an English name here where I live. I have made more legitimate earnings than you have, completed more advanced university education than you in a field a lot of "Americans" will only dream of and struggle to get into. These I have done while I am young and the future is bright. What if the man is treading that same path? He anticipates your desires well enough and seems "too perfect" and he is your first African boyfriend, and that scares you? If indeed you're 27, you must be really silly with that kind of thinking! So, if he is way too smart than the ones you have been dating, how is that his fault? Yes, it is good to be cautious not to be scammed but use your brains. . .has he asked you for money? If he has by the 4th date then your worry could be legitimate. If he does ask you for money in future, you will see if you have been together long enough and close enough to ask you something like that. Not some low-life scum.bag giving you some very annoying advice! It just makes guys like me mad!

Did I hear you or someone say citizenship, to hell with your citizenship, who cares? Any man who works hard enough, smart enough, knows what he is doing and stays doing it will be waaaaayyyyyy ahead of you in America even if your generation has been 1000 years in America! There are many Americans who will be failures in their lives while so called "foreigners" (Africans) will be much more successful and will get all they want (including the citizenship you are so fixated upon). Like someone suggested, if you are too insecure/afraid, date your advisor (Travelista) instead as it is known that most of the loser women in America will never be married in their life anyway! Let him find a better person now before you make him a loser, okay?

'Travelstupid' abi? So, because you felt attacked because you're a foreigner, a Yoruba guy or possibly a scammer that tries to lure in girls through charm, you decided to attack me for giving my opinion? So be it. While you're foaming at the mouth, acting as if I anally assaulted you, why don't you go and swallow broken glass? You're worried about the OP taking a stranger's advice but you (in the very same sentence, no less) rush to do the same. You're a slowpoke and I doubt you've accomplished anything in your useless life.

Why don't you research Craigslist and see if that's a place you'd find a legitimate relationship? She has every right to be weary of the guy and I stated that. I also said that it's better for her and David to have a misunderstanding over his intentions than for her to lament down the road; did you even see that part or was your desire to exert your masculinity too much for you to control? You brought nothing to the conversation but confusion; go back to your life of bogus advanced degrees and legal profits.

@ Deniyor: if you don't get why David's citizenship would be important, then I don't know what to tell you. If he lies about something so simple, what won't he lie about? How does PinkRiver know the man isn't trying to lull her into a relationship under false pretenses? And, yes: 'akata' is a condescending word for Black Americans. In all my years, I have never heard that word used as a term of endearment, so don't even go that route.

Wow, there are a lot of low-life men and loose women on the prowl! So, because a man spends money on me, I'm expected to give up the goods? I'll let a man spend his whole paycheck on me and THEN ignore his phone calls. Know why? Because I can. If you feel that spending money on a woman equals getting your rocks off, you aren't dating but soliciting. Looking through this thread. . .so many people are exposing themselves for the world to see. Just a mess.

OP, the guy isn't serious. He wants to plow but hasn't purchased the field; na by force? Either his balls will burst from frustration or he'll respect your beliefs and wife you; if he can't do the latter, be on your way, my dear. The man is beyond barbaric and not worth the energy it took for you to create this thread; listen to your mother.

"All I Need" - Method Man feat. Mary J. Blige

Carol, Iice's advice is the most solid so far. If the company/utility won't let you cancel because of an automatic payment scheme, talk to a manager/supervisor that can advise you. There has to be a way to get that bill in your name, especially since he no longer lives in the home with you. If all else fails, I'd take out an order of protection against the ex and have a copy sent to the billing department; that should help in getting the bill put directly in your name and solve the issue of the ex and his 'you're mine' attitude.

As for the ex, don't take him back and anyone that tries to tell you that men cheat and it's in their nature. . .bull. Last time I checked, it's in my nature to avoid sharing cock and (potentially) life threatening diseases, so leave those excuses about infidelity for the birds; only a weak individual would even fall in to that line of thinking anyway and what does that do for you? Not a damn thing. Protect your heart, health and sanity; if your ex endangers any of those (or, God forbid, more than one) he's not worth the energy. I can't believe he's upset that you're with another man; talk about selfish! He was enjoying himself and dipping outside your relationship but now that you're possibly happy with someone else, he's got his hackles up! Dude is nothing more than toxic and you should avoid his type like the plague. He's probably disturbed that your aren't pining away over him and wants to maintain his hold on you. RUN, girl!

pinkriver:

@ Travelista, OMG I know you are so right, BUT I figured if we met out in public first it would be the same as me meeting a man out, exchanging information, and then going on a date. This would be our 4th date coming up, do you still fear for my safety. He has me so swept off my feet I don't even know what to think.

What does akata mean?!?!?!?!

And by the way, I honestly don't think it could be a scam because he is Nigerian. I thought he could be a scammer because we met online which is where a lot of scammers find their prey AND because he seems to say and do all the right things. Of course, he could just be a good guy and in that case I don't want to ruin it.

'Akata' means Black American and it's meant to be condescending; if anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. As for your safety: be cautious until you're fully aware of who you're dealing with. 'He seems to say and do all the right things'? PinkRiver, you're making me very nervous right about now. At the very least, Google the guy and/or find out if he's really a citizen. If you find anything off about him, I'd say END IT; if he's started misrepresenting himself so early on, things aren't likely to get better down the road. Depending on where you live, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a genuine African man (if that's what you want). You have to be really careful in a situation like this and I don't mean to scare you; for all we know, David might really want to find a woman to settle down with and settle down quick but you have to protect your neck in situations like these. Having a misunderstanding because you were unsure of his initial intentions is better than nursing a bottle of Grey Goose in a dark corner because you were taken for a ride by a charming man. As they say in Nigeria, 'Make you shine your eye well-well o!'

You met David on CL? Girl, RED FLAG!!! You're worried about him being a scammer because he's Nigerian; how about worrying that he'll slit your throat because he could be a maniac you met on CRAIGSLIST! No offense but how desperate were you to actually meet a dude off that site AFTER all of the media blitzes surrounding those CL murders? I want to slap you and hug you at the same time. Ugh.

Now that that's out of the way, if you still think David's (for some reason, this is ringing a bell in my head and I don't know why) the man for you, then take it easy. To be fair, David being American-born doesn't make him American as we understand it; as in, he may not see things the way a kid raised in the US would. You say he was raised in Nigeria and I think that will play a part in how he approaches you and the subsequent relationship. Don't worry about how his family will respond right now but focus on how the two of you get along. As time progresses, get to know his family. Be weary if anyone refers to you as 'akata'; if you hear that. . .have fun while you still can, I guess.

I'm sorry but where did the bride ever mention how close a relationship existed between the two men? If the two weren't close and the groom still canceled the wedding, I think that's bogus as all get out.

*sigh*

David, really. Just stop. The article says they are 'expected' to deport these people; things happen and folks can be held in USCIS custody for ages. When those 400,000 extra people are on their home soil, then the Obama Administration can rest on their laurels and talk about their 'tough' stance on immigration. Until then, no dice.

And grow up with the 'right wing'/'left wing' crap; you're too smart to fall in to such pitfalls.

David, just sit down. Really. The original topic was about chicken Democrats and eventually evolved in to something else. The comments about Sherrod and Pelosi were two separate thoughts and you know it; what's wrong with you? Did you just want a chance to take your own shots or were you really confused about what I posted? Under Obama, the federal government has filed a lawsuit against AZ due to their immigration legislation. Instead of enforcing the federal laws that are already on the books, they're worried about not hurting peoples feelings. To me, that's called being 'soft'.

SlyFoxxJoe, please, just go back to drinking. No one cares about your little video and it's misconceptions. Really, Obama and the Bilderberg group? Do you know how many politicians owe allegiance to these societies? Republicans and Democrats are the same people with different names; most of these people that are yelling at each other on The Hill are good friends once work is over. They get it but society doesn't.

Omo Ibo: thanks for the advice but this punk is just running his mouth and showing his 'interlect'. I choose to keep poking fun at his parents' failure and expose him for the fraud that he is. I had no problem with him until he decided to put words in mouth and be cute by saying I was providing points for them to 'punch' me with. I do not appreciate words like that, especially coming from a so-called man towards a woman; a man expressing violence towards a woman is never funny or acceptable. It's unbecoming and shows that instead of focusing on the issues, he wanted to make a backwards dig. I caught it and addressed it. He went further and decided to call me a 'cu.nt'. All bets were off at that point and I took it out on the one that failed to raise him with class and that's his slut mother. I stand by my statements but I respect you trying to be a mediator. Thank you.

slyfoxxjoe:

^^^ lol im here sipping on my brandy laughing my head off trying to figure out what this lousy sl.ut is talking about. living all miserable life in the US doesnt make u any smater than anyone on this forum. stats have shown that americans are one of the dullest peeps on earth. only about 20% of americans are current on world current affairs within and outside the USA. WATCH TIS VIDEO IF U DONT BELIEVE http ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0RH0cYs4lw your obviously among the dumb 80%. i see right through your posts and can tell your nothing but a worthlee who.re who has no life and self services to to obama posters all day. i dont want to brag about my educational qualifications but if i start i assure u would be silenced so i will leave that. sit back and watch sarah palin take over power from your imaginary boyfriend in 2012 sl*t

Brandy, ko? You have no education and your posts show that. You were just talking about FOX viewers being the voice of the majority of Americans, right? Well, if (according to your stats) 80% of Americans are dumb, where does that place YOU and the other voices of America? You're just a waste of space and I blame your slut mother. She (and your father, if you know him) failed at raising a decent human being. You couldn't even address me directly when saying you were going to punch me; is that how men behave these days? Act bitchmade and make passive aggressive statements towards women? On an anonymous message board? Stand tall and stand firm but if you start to waver, believe me, I'll be ready to give you a swift kick behind the knees. I despise weak men with a passion and seeing your inability to use logic and basic commonsense is just nauseating.

Please, keep drinking your 'brandy' (is that what they are calling local kai kai now?) and showing your 'interlect'; a real man would have been able to express himself without threatening violence against a woman but you're trash and a husk of what represents real manhood. Instead of hating Obama, why don't you get take FOX's balls out of your mouth, get off your knees and be about something prosperous and positive for once in your abortive life?

slyfoxxjoe:

Travelista or what ever u call urself. first and foremost dont get personal with me. we just enjoying a healthy arguement so all this your name calling better end here. i refuse to bring myself to the level of an uneducated bimbo who thinks becuz she resides in theUS (if your not just faking) she knows all. lets keep this discussion mature. i know its hard for u but try! i dont know why u even taking it personal. is obama your bed mate or somthing? secondly, i reside in the united kingdom not the sahara but have been to 6 states in the US and keep up with events in the country very strictly so dont think your the only one to stay in america. braging like its some kind of achievement. just show your lack of interlect. thirdly uv just admited again that obama works for the selfish intrests of a few like most other US presidents which is what iv been trying to point out all day so that arguement is done. the issue we are discussing now is: is fox news doing a bad thing by reporting the flaws of this administration? i think not. call it propaganda or not, the fact remans that obama to is giulty of the same propaganda therefore it is propaganda against propagand. its now all about which side u decide to take. talking about my level of education is so unecessary but i warn your daft self for the last time. DONT GET PERSONAL WITH ME. cu.nt

Abeg, comot make we hear word! You've been to six states out of 50 and that makes you a scholar on American politics? Goodness, look at the reincarnation of Henry Kissinger schooling people on Nairaland! You're talking about getting personal when you posted that I'm giving you points to punch me with. If you want to speak to me like a man, expect me to answer you like one and hit you where it hurts. I know what I'm talking about because I know what I studied during my undergrad years. Get at me when you can talk with adults. You need to wake up and get real instead of posting bogus videos (you think Obama's the only one with ties to secret societies? You need a mental evaluation, Fox.) You reside in the UK yet are telling me (someone that has spent my entire life in this country) how things work. Where the hell do they do that, huh?

I'm glad you've noticed me showing my lack of 'interlect'; yes, 'interlect'. The irony is just too much. If I'm a 'cu.nt' so is your slut mother. Seriously, she should have accepted your father's money and swallowed instead of cursing the earth with your bastardly presence . Please, kill yourself because no man worth his testicles would get act as bitchmade as you just have. Stop arguing about things you don't understand and try and get an education. I mean that in all honesty.

stealing 4rm his own foundation? wetin person no go hear 4 here

Wait, this is a surprise? I flat out refused to donate money through his foundation; he's been skimming off the top long before the earthquake. He's gross and an opportunist. Booooooo, Wyclef.

slyfoxxjoe:

this Travelista babe is just giving us more points to punch her with. so u agree that obama mercylessly sacked the woman bcuz he was worried about his polls? u see this is what glenn beck and co have been trying to point out for ages! u talk about fox propaganda but fail to realize the obama admin is selling Americans the biggest propaganda of all time. making Americans think they care when all they are worried about is keeping themselves in office long enough to satisfy their selfish intrests. as far as im concerned obama was one big propaganda himself right from the on-set. everything about that man was scripted and now that he is in office he is out to serve those who put him there and not america! watch tis video on youtube to understand better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw take it or leave it, fox represents the voice of people who refused for the whole obama fad.

You're proud (as a so-called man) to use the phrase '[t]his Travelista babe is just giving us more points to punch her with'? I shouldn't even mess with a neanderthal like you but I'll try to set you straight (once again) on putting words in my mouth.

Obama didn't sack anyone; Sherrod resigned. Anyone else would have stood their ground (if you don't know, it's virtually impossible to fire a government employee because they can petition to get their job back and they usually do). You're showing your naivete if you think any politician/person in power doesn't owe favors to those that place them on top. Why do you think Halliburton and Blackwater were getting no-bid contracts? Do you remember who Dick Cheney was before he became VP? Try and educate yourself; watch FOX News and lie to yourself but don't do it to other people. It shows a lack of character.

NO PRESIDENT since Reagan has had any actual power; even W. had to answer to a gang of brigands. Obama will be no different and that just the way the cookie crumbles. I really wonder where you live to make such assumptions about Obama and remain blind to how the other side works; I truly doubt you even live in this country because you sound like someone lamenting the problems of snow while living in the Sahara. Really, what 'America' do you live in to think that FOX doesn't push propaganda? You don't think continually saying 'Obama is bad' and 'liberals are (fill in the blank)!' isn't a form of propaganda? Really?! Wherever you got your degree (if you even have one), please let me know so that I can avoid their other 'graduates' like the plague. I can't even believe a 'man' is writing stuff like this. Lord, help us.

Which one is it? FOX News represents America or represents people that don't agree with Obama? Think long and hard about that because you are describing two different situation. I fully support every side having their own outlet but when they step outside their actual role of reporting the news without bias, then I complain. I've complained about FOX, I've complained about MSNBC and CNN; they are corporate shills that are more interested in protecting their personal interests and not reporting the news. Remember the American that was beheaded in the Middle East? Nick Berg? The news (on both sides) refused to report that he'd been in contact with Moussaoui; it took an outsider source to do so before the majors would touch the story. Why would a contractor have contact with a known terror suspect? Don't believe everything you see and hear. I've said the Obama Administration is believing their own hype and it's a mistake. Why can't you be objective as well?

He better not; he's been stealing from his foundation for years. That's the lowest of the low, even for Wyclef. If the Haitians elect him, he'll be worse than Aristide.

I thought Kelis was dating that Latina?

Ewww! You guys use public toilets? See brave people! Abeg, name and shame these nasty locations; if their bathrooms are filthy, what makes me think the kitchen won't be the same?

Foxy and those damn baby hairs. She better put down her jar of Pro-Styl and stay away from the buffet. I'm just in shock at at the beige dress and her tummy. No bueno, Ma.

montelik:

So the woman got fired rather hastily, that's not good. But she herself was looking for trouble when she allowed herself to be used by the NAACP as a political tool to demonize political opponents as racists (i.e tea partiers). But how this is somehow all Fox's fault I don't understand. Did they request for her termination? NO. They hadn't even aired her excerpted remarks before she was sacked, so how this their fault is strange to me. But to other matters.

Okay, but I doubt out its fair to single out only FOX News here though. It was pretty much all the news station that helped Bush lie (if he did) about the WMDs in Iraq. All the networks ran the WMD line in the lead up to the invasion, infact most of America believed there were WMDs in Iraq across both parties (including Clinton and Gore). To try and single out only FOX when it was pretty much everybody who was deceived by the WMD theory is unfair. Also the part about the Bush WH actively attacking MSNBC or CNN requires substantiation. I don't recall Bush ever sending his cabinet out to question the status of either CNN or MSNBC. Meanwhile no fewer than David Axelrod (senior adviser), Anita Dunn (former communications director), Rahm Emmanuel (chief of staff) & Robert Gibbs (press secretary) have been dispatched by the Obama WH to disparage and encourage the isolation of FOX news. Even Obama got in on the act personally disparaging FOX News himself. You will have a hard time telling me that the Bush adminstration got anywhere close to this sort of conduct. And please tell me you are joking about Dan Rather. The guy was caught pushing bogus documents that both he and his producers suspected were false, in an effort to influence a presidential election. Rather destroyed his own career with conduct disgraceful of a "respected journalist". It is his fault alone.


My God you have just projected your opinion with no facts in support what so ever. It is okay if you don't like FOX News, after all there many stations to choose from. But why do you have to make them evil racists simply cause you don't like the content there. I doubt anyone station represents the true voice of a nation as diverse as America, but stop with the racist thing. A simple look at the demographics of FOX watchers would show it certainly has a diverse viewership.


So because of Sean Hannity the entirety of FOX news hates education. WOW.


This is news to me. I don't recall the secret service ever reporting on any plans to "kill" then candidate Obama. Infact I do recall that in 2008, after many over the top media reports about death threats being yelled at campaign rallies, that the secret service launched a full scale investigation and determined that there were no such occurrences and no knowledgeable threats being made. Besides I doubt he scared of assasination, that what the secret service are there for.

Where did I blame FOX for Sherrod getting thrown under the bus? I've said that Obama and co. did it to protect votes. You can revise history all you want but FOX News was an extension of the Bush Administration and they held that position for 8 years. The channel was used to demonize any and everything that wasn't Christian, Conservative and Republican; Karl Rove had a VERY special relationship with FOX and both sides craved the attention.

Dan Rather reported the news a la Deep Throat. However he got the information should have been dealt with after the information had been assessed; instead, the paper trail was swept away to protect Bush and his mythical military career. The man went AWOL and last time I checked, that's punishable with jail time.

I'm not projecting anything, so miss me with your faux outrage. I watch FOX News; I'd be a fool to complain about it without having due cause. I've heard several hosts talk about how their position (that of the White, Christian male) is being jeopardized. Hell, I believe it was a conversation between O'Reilly and McCain and I remember thinking 'Are these men seriously saying this on broadcast television?'

Here you go again with the 'disbelief' with your 'Wow'. Seriously, learn how to read and not skim. Where exactly did I say that Hannity being a drop out is indicative of FOX's educational beliefs? I was talking about their viewers. Go back and read what I wrote before you come and get hella smart over something that went completely over your head. 'Wow' indeed.

Assassination attempts are news to you? If FOX is your only news source, then I'm not surprised by this in the least. Obama's life was threatened several times in 2008 and those people were picked up; where exactly were you to have missed what was allover (most) news sources? To say otherwise means you really don't know about the attempts, are being intentionally obtuse or flat out lying.

I'm sure you can find more links if you were to actually try instead of taking the Denver plot featuring White Supremacists and applying it to all Obama assassination attempts. I don't even know why I'm bothering with you; you're no different from someone that quote Olbermann or Maddow like they're the Gospels.

@Travelista, i am not doing it cos of shock value, i once saw a Chinese boy whom i love and wish i could adopt him. it's a personal thing. well! i have thought about all the things you said.it's just something i love to do, if you are doing something you have to consider the advantages and disadvantage and i have done that.i love to adopt a child cos i love to help someone that is not having a home but i have considered all the question you asking and that's why i am pushing it to the public.Nairaland is a place to get the public heat; i mean more than u will receive from the main public and i want to feel the heat now before acting.i told you my thought according to the society is bizarre and i dont plan to do things cos of people but cos i love to do it and love what i am doing.

If this is truly the case, we need more people like you that are willing to adopt a child regardless of race.

^^^ firstly i would like to adress the issue of which news network reflects the true voice of America. the glenn beck show on fox has the highest ratings of any news show in America. over 1.7 million Americans tune in to his show every evening. dont u think there is a reason for that? or are u gonna argue with stats? why do u think obama fears them sooo much? and YES mr obama is scared to death of fox cant u see how his fear of glenn beck and co made him act like a complete  on the Shirley Sherrod issue? every news network is an idependent entity. the freedom of speech rights in the US means everyone including news networks is free to report what they like as they like it. even cnn and msnbc do their own share of biased reports as u said urself so whats this arguement about? your the president so do your job instead of worrying what fox news is saying about u. he just made himself look weak and at fox news mercy with that whole Shirley Sherrod disaster. can u imagine bush acting that way?? anyways the long and short of my arguement is fox is the most watched tv news network in America for a reason and obama is scared of them becaus hi admin is seriously flawed.

You didn't answer my question. Why is that? Is it because you didn't/don't see first hand what FOX News does dish out propaganda? Maybe you don't know this but fewer and fewer people are getting their news from papers, television and the radio; if you can get numbers like Glenn Beck does, it's impressive because it's a dying medium and NOT because it's the voice of a nation. I already stated why Obama overreacted to that Sherrod mess; it's in the first few posts, so read that and see if you can comprehend what's going on. Obama's concerned about keeping votes and not stepping on toes; this is not the Bush era where you can bully and push to achieve results. Bush could be a terror because he and his party were one and the same on the surface; the goals of Obama don't coincide with the votes of mainline liberals and that's always going to be an issue.

I'm getting the impression you don't know the actual powers of the U.S. President; I really hope you go back and research it because the power Bush wielded was unprecedented. I can't think of any other leader (since Nixon) that had such a blatant disregard for the Constitution and the legal processes of this land. Obama's a highly trained attorney; he knows what he can and can't do. He also knows people are waiting for him to make a legal slip up, so he's treading with caution. I think he's being overcautious at times but his reasons are best known to him.

On a lighter note, you really don't know what you're talking about if you say news agencies are independent entities. Do you realize that every major news outlet in this country is a subsidiary of one of only 5 corporations? How unbiased do you think a news outlet will be under such circumstances? General Electric owns NBC and receives massive government defense contracts; do you think they'd ever speak out against a war? Let's be real here.

Also, I'm so tired of people thinking Freedom of Speech means you can say anything you damn well please with impunity.
