It Starts At The Dinner Table?..
2012-04-30 23:50:00
By: J Robert Giles @JRobertGiles ?Each day of our lives, we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.?   - Charles R. Swindoll   It?s a cliché to say that being a parent changes the way you look at things. Of course it does. For most of us, becoming a parent means an abrupt, loud, and completely exhausting end to the life we had led to that point. It doesn?t matter how old the parents are or how well planned the pregnancy may have been, once that child arrives, the world of the parent is a completely different one. Parents find a joy in seeing the world through the eyes of their children. There?s an indescribable sense of pleasure to be found in watching your child figure out a concept with which you yourself struggled as a child. Some are more momentous like watching them suffer a competitive loss but take away the appropriate lessons. Others are more humorous like watching a 7 year old boy in complete awe of the ?curly fry.? The feeling a parent has at the...

Barack Obama: Male Sexist Pig
2012-04-13 15:06:00
Via Ericka Johnsen, Hot Air: In 2005, when Obama began serving in the U.S. Senate (and his daughters turned 4 and 7), he and his wife were earning a combined annual income of $479,062. Barack Obama was paid a salary of $162,100 by the U.S. taxpayers, and Michelle Obama was paid $316,962 to handle community affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center. The Obama’s problem i not all that unusual, in many families,  the wife earns more than the husband   What a responsible husband does in a case like this is to quit his job, and for him to become a  stay at home father.   Evidently, Barack Obama was not willing to sacrifice his political aspirations for the sake of his family.  I am sure a person smart enough to graduate from Columbia and Harvard would be smart enough to be able to manage of family of four on mere three hundred thousand dollars a year.  Many men manage to do so, with far less income.
