Obama at Graceland?

[Unique Dog]

In all fairness...the USA was headed down when Bush inherited the office.

Yes, it was. I agree wholeheartedly.

[Unique Dog]

Most thinking people are.

Here in Australia, there is a hair removal company called Veet: their product is for women to, er, keep themselves clean, if you follow me.

There was a newspaper ad on inauguration day for Veet that said "Goodbye Bush". Funny on so many levels.

As for Obama, the last place I want to see him is Graceland, at least for now. He has the economy to deal with first and foremost, not to mention the quagmires that are Iraq and Afghanistan.

Getlo, maybe you should consider removing those thumbnails you have.

well its something that really is not important for obama....if he goes to graceland he goes if not who cares.....i think its more impportant 4 obama ...to concentrate on getting the usa back on its feet..thats the number one priority for him..there were promises he made during the campain time has come to deliver...once he acomplishes that ..then he can visit graceland with his family on a job well done...america is in really bad shape right now

Agreed time will tell!

There was something on another forum about Obama possibly closing Graceland to use it as a Camp David.

That was a blog hoax, nothing more.

Why on earth would I want to do that?

And, in case you missed it, America needs rebuilding.

There was something on another forum about Obama possibly closing Graceland to use it as a Camp David. But I doubt he could do that without Lisa and Robert FX Silerman's permission and I doubt they would allow him to. I don't think he has that much power to shut down a privately owned tourist attraction permanently that is a financial profit for an inner city for personal use. Besides I doubt he would even consider doing that. He seems to have way too much class and character to try something like that.

"I'd rather keep my political views to myself"! But, the above statement cracked me up - it's amazing what people come up with to put in print!

I believe that's the goofiest thing I've ever heard.

A Bill Clinton quote:

'You know, [George Bush] is always comparing me to [Elvis Presley] in sort of unflattering ways. I don`t think Bush would have liked Elvis very much, and that`s just another thing that`s wrong with him.'

I could imagine Obama visiting Graceland one day.

What is it you didn't like?

That I could imagine Obama visiting Graceland, or
that Bush was always comparing Bill to Elvis in sort of unflattering ways?

In the latter case, I agree with you !

[Unique Dog]

And, in case you missed it, America needs rebuilding.

When you become a citizen of this country, I will discuss the issue with you.

I`m less than fond of Bill Clinton.

That article was written by a guy who runs a website called "Planning your trip to Graceland"- in the last line of the article he admits that
"it is pure speculation" since no one from Obama, Lisa, or EPE has made any comment regarding this at all. No source for the speculation is given.

Yeah, it was rough paying 79 cent to $1.09 for gas, jobs were plentiful and few people were losing their homes.

Excuse me, but when your country and your government and your president drags my country and my fellow citizens into war, I - like every other Australian, or Englishmen etc - have the right to speak out.

When your country illegally detains my fellow citizens in Guantanamo Bay without charge in breach of the Geneva Convention (Google David Hicks), I have the right to speak out.

When my fellow citizens are killed and wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan in two wars declared by your country, I have the right to speak out.

When the economic crisis which began in your country caused by mismanagement from your bankers which then directly affects my retirement funding, I have the right to speak out.

Your attitude is typical of the Right Wingers: you think that just because this is happening in America, only Americans have the right to comment. WRONG. What the US does affects the entire world, especially those countries who are allied with her, like Australia.

Open your eyes, and realise that the world does not begin and end with LA and New York.

I`m less than fond of Bill Clinton.

Surprise factor: zero.

We don't rebuild, we reload....boy.

Cry me a flippin; river. Jeez! We are all hurting these days.

You are correct. Thank you Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

Clearly you missed my point to Unique Dog: because we are all hurting in so many ways, that gives me the right to speak out on American actions which directly affect me.
