But is he keeping his oath?

I was off my hinges during W's terms, so I can relate.
Finally, I stopped watching cable news, and the stress went away.

Hope he's able to let it go and take care of what is important in his life.

Doing good/thoughtful deeds for others is the best therapy.

I don't follow?

We should keep the health care system as is?
Do you realize it's being driven by Wall Streets thirst for more profit?
And that it itself is going to break our economies back?

Clinton balanced his budget.
W spent BIG money that he refused to put on the books.
Obama is spending money and accounting for it, AND, he's spending on the USofA.

So as frustrating as these times are, I still believe I cast the correct vote and reforming the health care industry is the right thing to do.

In an interview with Radio Free Europe critiquing the ruling United Russia Party, Nobel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev weighs in on Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama:

"I won it unexpectedly and he won it unexpectedly," Gorby told the U.S. government-funded outlet based in Prague. "America means a lot [to the world] and will continue to do so for a long time ... That's why [we have to] support a president of such stature, who gave his own country and the world such a strong push forward. And it's already showing real effects. That's honorable."

This ain't bringin' Glencar back!

Ice skating bear kills Russian circus hand

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- A bear on ice skates attacked two people during rehearsals at a circus in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, killing one of them, Kyrgyz officials said Friday.

In the incident, which happened Thursday, the 5-year-old animal killed the circus administrator, Dmitry Potapov, and mauled an animal trainer, who was attempting to rescue him.

"The incident occurred during a rehearsal by the Russian state circus company troupe which was performing in Bishkek with the program, Bears on Ice," Ministry of Culture and Information director Kurmangazy Isanayev told reporters.

It is unclear what caused the bear to attack Potapov, 25, nearly severing one of his legs while dragging him across the ice by his neck. Medical personnel were unable to save Potapov, who died at the scene.

The 29-year-old circus trainer Yevgeny Popov, who attempted to rescue Potapov, was also severely injured, according to doctors.

"The victim has sustained serious injuries - deep scalp lacerations, bruising of the brain, lacerations on his body. His condition is considered critical," Dr. Gulnara Tashibekova told reporters on Russian state television.

After the incident, the circus was cordoned off by police and emergency service workers. Experts have been brought in to examine the bear, which was shot and died at the scene.

Russia has a long-standing tradition of training bears to perform tricks such as riding motorcycles, ice skating, and playing hockey. Fatal attacks are unusual.

Amy Winehouse's Dad: She and Her New Boobs Are 'Fantastic'

By Simon Perry


Amy Winehouse is a completely different person from who she was this time last year, her father says. The singer, 26, is doing well both inside and out – and that includes her recent breast enhancement.

On Wednesday, Mitch Winehouse told British TV show This Morning that his daughter is, "Fantastic, fantastic. Her boobs are great as well." He then smiled and said, "I shouldn't have said that should I? She looks absolutely fantastic."

Asked if the operation really cost $56,000 per reports, he shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't have to pay for it – that's all I know. Whenever I see her, she says, 'Dad can you give me a couple of hundred.' [But] I didn't have to pay for the boobs. I don't know."

It has been a turbulent year for the singer, who is now working on her third album. She has been through a divorce, cleared of assault charges and spent many months in St Lucia as she sought to get healthy. Her taxi-driver father said that she is faring well and "has not been sick now for a year."

But the battle is ongoing. "There is no total recovery. It's a recovery. It's a slow, gradual recovery," he said. "If you look back to where we were a year ago, you know we are in a different planet. We are in a different space and a different time and a different person. We all are. We're all recovering."

The singer's father spoke on TV a day after he addressed Members of Parliament, telling them that his family had been fortunate to afford the best clinics and doctors when seeking treatment for Amy. The special committee met because he is making a documentary about families coping with drug problems, and he was imparting some of his experiences and anecdotes culled during his research.

His advice for families coping with addicts? "The best thing we can do for our loved ones who are addicted is to maintain that normal family atmosphere. Why should they feel guilty? When the person has recovered and wants to reenter the family they don't want to see a family that's destroyed, and that can happen."
