It's great that we can download songs we like from iTunes, but wouldn't it be that good or better if there were a website where we could upload and get rid of the songs that get stuck in our heads?Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-75468864867555732622011-11-15T11:46:02.008-06:002011-11-15T11:46:02.008-06:00I love the song and now I can't get it out of ...I love the song and now I can't get it out of my head. Had to download from iTunes. As for our legislators...I've almost given up hope that they will be able for work for the American people rather than working to get re-elected.Annette Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367278617237356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-17860637065029261432011-11-07T08:35:02.048-06:002011-11-07T08:35:02.048-06:00Betsy, I'll admit that President Obama hasn...Betsy, I'll admit that President Obama hasn't led as forcefully as I'd hoped he would to bring about the changes the majority of voters wanted when we elected him, but I think that might change in a second term in office. After reading your comment, I looked online for a while last night and again early this morning and couldn't find anything that specifically addresses the relationship between leadership (or lack thereof) and bogged-down Congresses. Can you recommend a book or other compilation of historical research on this particular subject? I'd like to know more.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. I've missed your posts at Joyful Reflections and am so glad you're feeling well enough to post again.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-13416889895532239352011-11-06T19:09:10.169-06:002011-11-06T19:09:10.169-06:00Very nice song, Linda.

IF you will check all through the years at our Congresses, you will find that when they bog down and totally disagree and won't even compromise, the cause is always NO LEADERSHIP from the top. And --we certainly don't have one bit of partison leadership at the top now.... (Just my opinion--but it goes along with history)...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-10197307103561105282011-11-06T15:15:16.464-06:002011-11-06T15:15:16.464-06:00Nan16, they're not getting much done for some ...Nan16, they're not getting much done for some reason.<br /><br />Maria, I like that story about Andy Rooney.

I found out today that he was a Democrat and I liked him even more. <br /><br />One time on 60 minutes, he had a segment about how we Americans are SO much more powerful than we realize. <br /><br />"Let's pick one stray week in January and just agree not to fly anywhere," he said. "I think the airlines would get the message that they need to change some of their ridiculous rules."<br /><br />I thought we should do that, I really did.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-49372979862088886802011-11-05T18:17:02.623-05:002011-11-05T18:17:02.623-05:00I love the song.
