THE VALUE OF FIDELITY IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

 by: Jim Caulder    

A RESPONSE TO AN INQUIRY POSTED ON QUESTION FISH 

Fidelity is a term used mostly in romantic relationships. There are many other specific meanings and proper uses for the word. However, in this discussion I will explore its negative counterpart, infidelity, which has a much higher emotive potential. I am going to use as a working definition for infidelity the following: failure to behave in a manner you have promised, or are expected to, having knowledge of the expected or committed to expectation, with the ability to have conformed to the expectation or commitment.

The stated causes for infidelity are numerous, but none are acceptable to the betrayed partner. The general public also is not accepting of infidelity, for it undermines a primary building block of society. The person guilty of infidelity may offer excuses but, usually does not approve of this disruptive behavior, either.
The origin of infidelity is rooted in a lack of understanding and acceptance of the value of honor and trust in all personal relationships. Immaturity, insecurity, and a failure of impulse control also play a part when a susceptible mind meets opportunity.
There are many stages, levels or degrees of infidelity. Beginning with discontentedness with some aspect of the relationship, the mind is allowed to conjure up justification for thoughts, fantasies or actions. The ego gets a boost from the attention of another. The conscience is troubled by the betrayal, anxiety increases. The primary relationship becomes strained. This is usually when questions begin and there is a general feeling something is just not right. The offender looks for comfort and validation, since they are being rejected by their partner. The offended partner may be torn between blaming themselves, trying to salvage the relationship or just wanting to be rid of the cause of their troubles. Unless both partners are strong enough and committed enough to engage in honest, factual based, non-judgmental communication, or get professional help, the relationship is in real trouble.
The emotional cost of infidelity is incalculable. The first emotional cost is a further devaluation of self. Initial disappointment in oneself may be followed by a sense of relief that the deceit is not publicly known…yet. When the deed is first suspected, the first response is usually denial, followed by feint surprise or outrage at such an accusation. Under continued pressure, the offender sometimes confesses, may offer excuses, ask for forgiveness, and promise not to let it happen again. Damage has been done to the relationship. Trust has been lost and all parties to the indiscretion have a duty to perform. When I say all parties, I mean ALL parties. Even the partner that suffered the infidelity has a duty to understand, forgive and willingly participate in the salvage, repair and strengthening of this vested relationship. This is important whether they continue in the romantic relationship or not. It may certainly be an unpleasant task. A better understanding of yourself, the importance of boundaries, honoring commitments, self love, tolerance and the value of earned trust, are worth the effort. The relationship may emerge stronger, with renewed appreciation for each other. If this work is not done, suffering is prolonged, mistakes are apt to be repeated, and the risk of additional infidelity is increased.
For all actions there are consequences. Infidelity causes personal emotional pain as well as pain to those close to the partners, especially children from the relationship. There is a loss of motivational investment in the relationship, work suffers, spiritual development is hampered, alienation from family, friends and civic involvement occurs. Anxiety is increased in the offender, and has an impact on all aspects of his/her life and other relationships.
The financial cost of infidelity is unknowable. Loss of work time, sick days, medical expenses, low creativity, slowed upward mobility in the social and professional arena, flowers, gifts, attorney fees, child support, unplanned pregnancies, cost of maintaining separate households, the list has no end and the damage is multi-generational.
In the end, the individuals that have the least responsibility for the infidelity, minor children, suffer the most, the broken family relationship, lack of proper role models, fractured social, educational opportunities, and emotional distress with a risk of having difficulty in their own relationships.
In conclusion, know yourself, love yourself, respect yourself, honor your commitments and
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU
WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU!

A Native American Account of Creation

A Native American Account of Creation

By: Jim Caulder 1994

The Great One, that is, was and shall always be, was surveying the sum of all that did exist. There was found to be a place where nothing was. The Great One delights in creating and commenced with the pleasure of creating a universe. When the universe was complete, The Great One saw that it was good to look upon and to contemplate its movements. The Great One desired to create a human being to whom the universe could be given. A human being that could unlock the mysteries, understand the beauty and share this creation of The Great One.
The Great One, being spirit needed no place to stand or rest, but the human being would be physical and would need a place to reside. The Great One created the earth as a habitat for the human being. The sun was placed in the sky to promote order, to provide energy for all living things and to manage time. The moon was set in motion around the earth to rule the tides, to indicate seasons, inspire creativity and influence emotions. The Great One created the fullness of the earth, and in it was found all material things that the human being would need to flourish. When the universe and the earth were finished, The Great One stood upon the earth to observe all that had been created. It was found to be good and nothing was lacking.
The Great One was conflicted, observing the wonders of all that had been created for the human being. Yet, in agony over the knowledge of the struggles, pain and suffering that would face the human being. The Great One shed tears of joy and sadness. The blended tears fell upon the soil of the earth. The sun caused a shadow of The Great One to be cast upon the moist earth where the tears of The Great One had fallen. The Great One formed a human being from the moist soil where the sun had cast the image of The Great One, and so the human being was created from the image of The Great One. The Great One embraced the human being, breathed life into the human being, and he became a living soul.
The sun was near the center of the sky. The Great One spent the remainder of the day teaching the human being all he needed to know about the universe, the earth, himself and The Great One. The human being was given instructions on how to live successfully and was given dominion over all other creations on earth. The human being was advised to manage the earth, its resources, to be a good steward, to act without greed and the earth would furnish all his physical needs, forever. The plants, animals, mother earth and the universe would teach the human being all other things he would need to know, when he needed to know them.
When the evening had come and The Great One saw that the human being was alone and needed a companion to share his duties, and the intimacies of his heart and mind. The moon was full and shown bright upon the earth. The light from the moon caused the image of the human being to cast a shadow upon the moist earth in the same place the first human being was formed. The Great One formed a companion for the human being. From the same soil that the first human being was formed, was formed also the second. The first human being was called man and the second human being was called woman, for she was created from the image of the man. The man was created under the sun and was given the ability to understand the science of the earth and the mechanics of the universe. The woman was created under the moon and was given understanding of the cycles of the universe, the earth, the seasons, and was one with the earth, the mother of all.
The Great One, who is all life, bestowed a portion of life to remain within the man and woman so they would never be alone. Authority was given to the human beings to make decisions concerning themselves, the earth, and all the inhabitants of the earth. The human beings were informed, when they make choices that honor The Great One, enhance life, protect and preserve the earth, then The Great One and the earth will be in harmony with the human beings. If the human beings fail to do these things, the earth will not feed, clothe or support them, furthermore sickness will be their companion, and the elements will assault the human beings. The Great One will not hear the cries of the human beings. Mercy will be withheld until harmony with the will of The Great One is restored.
The life the human beings were given is a portion of The Great One who is all life. The Great One is, was and shall always be, so also is the life the human beings share. The will of The Great One is: human beings will exist in harmony with the earth while on earth and will reunite with The Great One from whom life comes, when the body rest again in the soil. Walk in peace, hold no evil thoughts, and hurt not the earth that sustains you. Pursue a greater understanding of the will of The Great One, praise and honor The Great One for all things. Place no trust, nor honor nor worship any object, image, person or thing. Only The Great One is worthy of worship and only the pure of heart is worthy to worship, The Great One.

SHAKING THE PECAN TREES

SHAKING THE PECAN TREES AND OTHER
IMPORTANT EVENTS OF NOVEMBER 22, 1963
by: Jim Caulder 12-4-2009
I finished my dinner, picked up my jacket, put it on, said good-bye to my mother and father who were still sitting at the table sipping coffee and talking. They knew where I was off to, because my father had told me the night before that my Uncle wanted me to help him shake his pecan trees today. They both cautioned me to be careful and out the door I went. I started up our Farmall–140 tractor, let it warm up while I wound a log chain around the back hitch. I climbed on the tractor, zipped up my jacket, pulled my cap down tightly on my head and drove onto the private drive that lead to the paved road 300 yards down the hill. Once on the paved road, I dropped the gear stick back into fourth gear and started the mile and half drive to my Uncle’s house. The temperature was mild enough considering it was late November. The speed of the tractor and a slight wind made the ride a little chilly. It didn’t take long, and I was pulling into my Uncle’s yard.
My Uncle Quincy Smith and his wife Beattie were in the yard waiting. It was only 12:30 PM and they had said afternoon, so I wasn’t late. They had nothing else to do, so they were ready and waiting.
My Uncle Quincy was born in 1900, so it was always easy to remember how old he was, 63, because it was now 1963. Uncle Quincy smoked a pipe and it was always hanging from his mouth, whether it was lit or not, or it was being packed with more Prince Albert tobacco from the red can that he carried in the top pocket of his bib overalls.
Uncle Quincy married my Aunt Beattie when she was 14. She wanted a little boy and a little girl. They had been blessed with 13 children. Their next to the youngest boy, Homer, was the same age as me and we had grown up not only cousins, but good friends. Homer had recently been drafted, was in Ft. Ord, California for training and was expecting to be sent to Vietnam. That was why they needed me to help shake the pecan trees.
My Uncle Quincy lived in the old Nash Lamb home place. It was a big, wood-frame white house with porches on the front and back. Four large pecan trees stood on the south side of the house. The pecan trees were probably set-out right after the house was built in the late 1930’s. The custom was to order Stuart pecan trees from the Progressive Farmer magazine. They would usually arrive in about 3 weeks by mail. The trees would be set-out a short distance from the house, about 50 feet apart, where they would provide shade for family functions, children playing and a place for farm hands to relax in the shade while eating their dinner. (noon meal, as country folks always called the noon meal dinner and the evening meal supper)
In the fall, after the first frost, some of the pecans fall of their own accord. The wind helps dislodge others. Some hang on and need jarring loose by other means, if not, they will fall a few per day for months. That was what I was there for today, to shake loose those that had not made up their mind to fall. I climbed up the tree about 20 feet, tied the chain around a big limb, got on the tractor and let the weight of the tractor jerk lightly against the chain shaking the limb, making the pecans fall. They would rain down like summer hail! The ground was soon covered with pecans. The pecans were used in chocolate cakes, nut cakes, fruit cakes, pecan pies, etc. Many were cracked and eaten as a snack while sitting around the fire at night. A hand full of pecans and a hammer would occupy children for hours.
We had finished shaking the first tree. My Aunt Beattie went into the house to get more bags for pecans. She came back outside without the bags. It was 1:33 PM, November 22, 1963. She said they had interrupted the stories on television, to announce that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas, and was dead!

IMPENDING LOSSES OF LIFE AND LOVE

HAITI EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS
AND OTHER IMPENDING

LOSSES OF LIFE AND LOVE

By: Jim Caulder 1-15-10

I thought not knowing if they were dead or alive was worse than if I knew they were dead. Now I know and knowing is worse! For knowing removes all hope, forces you to think about them only in the past tense. Knowing, Denies the spirit and the mind the comfort of imagining circumstances that would allow hope to continue. Knowing brings a different perspective of time. Before you knew, time was of the essence. Time demanded something must be done. Every moment seemed like an eternity. After knowing, time is endless, abundant. You are drowning in time but nothing can be done. Knowing leaves you alone to ponder why, what if and should have. Knowing with finality provides you with answers but the points are moot.

Beef recall may lead to civil lawsuits

November 2, 10:32 AMLA Legal ExaminerJames Hirsen
One death and 28 cases of food-borne illness appear to have been caused by E. coli bacteria, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another possibly related death in New Hampshire is under investigation.
If the 28 people who contracted food-borne illness and one person who died of food borne illness got sick from bacteria in ground beef, they all may be able to bring a case in civil court against the suppliers and distributors of the tainted meat.
Over the weekend, Fairbank Farms of Ashville, New York, recalled 545,699 lbs (248,450 kg) of ground beef products.
The beef went to retailers including Trader Joe's, Price Chopper, Lancaster and Wild Harvest, Shaw's, a unit of Supervalu, BJ's, Ford Brothers and Giant, a unit of Ahold, in eight states -- Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
All but three of the 28 cases listed by the CDC were in the U.S. Northeast and 18 were in the New England states.
E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and, in severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, the elderly and people with weak immune systems are the most susceptible.
The company has urged consumers to check their freezers for products listed in the recall. Labels of the recalled packages will say EST 492 inside the USDA seal.

SOAP AND WATER VS. HAND SANITIZERS
By Stephanie Tweito Jacob


We all know that having clean hands is one way to prevent seasonal cold and flu viruses, including H1N1 swine flu. But should you wash with soap and water, or coat your hands with disinfecting gel from one of those dispensers that seem to be appearing in more and more restrooms, offices, hallways and stores?
If your hands aren't actually grimy, the best way to clean them is to use hand sanitizer, James Scott, a microbiologist at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health told "Best Health Magazine." "It reduces the bacterial burden to a greater extent than soap and water," he said. "And your hands stay cleaner longer than if you were to use soap and water."
The waterless gels and foams have also been found to be effective in preventing the spread of viral and bacterial-based diseases like seasonal colds and flus. One study found that college students with hand-sanitizer dispensers in their dorms had fewer complaints of coughs, chest congestion and fever. Plus their risk of getting sick was 20 percent lower than students whose dorms did not have the dispensers.
But the hand sanitzers must contain 60 percent or more alcohol, according to the FDA. Skim past the "kills 99.9% of bacteria" claim on the package and instead be certain that the active ingredient listed is either ethanol or isopropanol, at a percentage over 60.
They also must be used correctly. Make sure hands are free of visible grime and dirt and then apply a palm-full of product and rub vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to distribute the sanitizer between your fingers, under your nails and jewelry, on your wrists and on the backs of each hand.
Never rinse your hands with water or wipe them with a towel after using a hand sanitizer -- this will counteract the effect of the product.
Another gold star for hand sanitizers: They tend to be gentler on skin than soap and water. Despite their high alcohol content, which is often thought to make creams and gels drying, one study found alcohol-based hand sanitizers left skin in better condition than antibacterial soap. "Most of the modern hand sanitizers have emollients in them that will actually improve skin condition," Scott said.
But, don't toss your soap dispenser just yet. While the high alcohol content of hand sanitizers can kill bacteria, it doesn't necessarily clean your hands. That is, it does not cut thorough grime like dirt, blood, feces or other bodily fluids. Therefore, soap and water must be the first choice in restrooms. It is also essential in the kitchen as alcohol doesn't kill the foodborne bacteria E. Coli as well as soap and water does.
The best way to wash your hands with soap and water is to rub hands vigorously for at least 20 seconds, scrubbing front and backs of hands, wrists, and between fingers and under fingernails, according to the Mayo Clinic. Rinse well, dry hands with a clean or disposable towel or air dryer and, if possible, use your towel to turn off the faucet.




ADULT/CHILD? THE MACHAEL JACKSON SYNDROME
By-Jim Caulder – 10-25-09


Michael Jackson was born with an incredible amount of talent. He worked hard to develop his talent and achieved celebrity status by the age of five.
Some believe that he was forced to practice, was abused, exploited and not allowed to have a normal childhood. Joe Jackson, Michael`s father, has been named as responsible for most of these offenses.
The truth will never be known about many facets of Michael`s life. How he was treated as a child, as well as how he treated children will forever be debated.
The inability to know the truth will not stop people from making up their minds about his character and the extent he alone should be held accountable for his behavior. His value as a human being and the value of his contribution as an artist will also be debated. We will each in our own way, with our own set of life experiences, our values, sort through what we have heard, seen, feel, and will arrive at a conclusion that we are comfortable with.
I am no different than anyone else. I arrived at my comfortable conclusion long ago and it has not been changed by his death. Michael Jackson was weird. I don`t know if he was mistreated as a child, nor do I know if he mistreated children. But, he was a strange individual. He had talent, but his adult life, as defined by his years on this earth, was troubled, and troubling to me. I say it that way, because, I am not sure he ever grew-up emotional/mentally. His personal choices showed a lack of judgment possessed by most adults.
I think he was deprived of a normal childhood, was pressured to be all that he could be in a narrow entertainment definition. However, he would never have risen to the heights that he did, if he had not been driven externally and internally.
Only Michael Jackson could answer the question of whether it was worth losing his childhood to gain celebrity status. He did answer that question. Michael when asked if he would give up his stardom in exchange for a normal childhood replied “NO”! Yet, he could not live with who he was. He made choices that led to his death.
Michael Jackson, is history, and will soon be forgotten.
Many young children are growing up in the entertainment industry. Are we going to see this sad example of child exploitation and adult addiction to self-destruction repeated a thousand times over? What is our role/duty as a member of this society? Should we enact laws to protect children? Should we allow our children to buy products, or attend concerts, or even listen to music performed by exploited children?
From Judy Garland to Michael Jackson, the tragic pattern continues. Our society produces child stars that become adults with child-like behaviors and self destructive tendencies. We elevate child stars to celebrity deity, and then can`t avert our gaze as they plunge into their personal hell!

Obama Birth Issue - STILL Questions: U.S. Federal District Court Justice; heard arguments; taking under advisement

Many are STILL discussing the birth issue surrounding President Obama. This apparently is not going away, anytime soon.
Received this email yesterday from the United States Justice Foundation, a non-profit organization. You will read some of the arguments made before this court, by the DOJ and the USJF.
From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep, United States Justice Foundation
Barack Obama is sweating it out after his Department of Justice ("DOJ") attorneys walked into court expecting United States Federal District Court Judge David Carter to dismiss the birth certificate case. Why you ask? Simply because they "think" Obama is President. Their arguments were hollow and unconvincing. and after hearing hours of argument, the Judge Carter "took the matter under submission." He has still not issued a ruling, 10 days later!
Is The President Above The Law and the Courts?
DOJ attorneys tried to explain to the Judge that no Court in the United States had the jurisdiction to rule on whether Barack Hussein Obama was eligible to serve as President of the United States? In their view he could only be impeached and/or disqualified from the Office of President under the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution.
NOT TRUE! USJF pointed out to the Court that both the impeachment statutes, and the 25th Amendment required a sitting President, but if Mr. Obama is not eligible to serve as President, he could not be, and never was, a sitting President, so those options for removal could not apply. Therefore the courts would have jurisdiction.
HELP US MAKE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA PROVE IF HE IS ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: CLICK HERE NOW!
Monday, October 5, 2009, , at 8:30 a.m., in California, was a critical milestone for our entire legal and public relations effort to force Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate and to prove whether he is eligible to serve as President of the United States. And with your support USJF was able to be there to argue the case.
The case has an excellent chance to survive the Department of Justice ("DOJ") motion to dismiss what has proven to be the best chance for America to have a hearing on the merits of this critical Constitutional issue.
What happened that day in Court? It's very simple—the DOJ attorneys brought up every argument that they could to try to persuade the Court to dismiss this case
USJF provided sound legal arguments against the DOJ legal theories; otherwise the whole case could have been over right then and there! The USJF oral arguments will be the difference between this case surviving or being dismissed.
The Judge raised issues critical to our case:
1. Did Senators question the eligibility of Mr. Obama? (Only Senators Coburn and Shelby and a number of House members.)
2. Were objections made by Members of Congress when the vote of the Electoral College was certified? (NO, then Vice-President Cheney had not performed his required duty of asking for objections, so there could have been none raised.)
DOJ attorneys argued that only Congress, and/or the Electoral College, could decide on the eligibility of Mr. Obama. Fortunately, the USJF legal team filed pleadings pointing out that the DOJ legal arguments in this regard WERE WRONG! And, I was there to argue against those claims.
People at the hearing and those who have found out what happened there since have been contacting USJF, thanking us for standing up for the truth!
But the fight is not over yet! We expect a ruling from the Court any day now. If we defeat the dismissal motion, then we're immediately filing pleadings ("discovery") seeking Mr. Obama's birth certificate, his college records, and so much more. AND, we'll be seeking to depose Mr. Obama ASAP!
And if the Court grants the motion to dismiss, we'll be immediately filing an appeal of the decision!
But we can only do this if we have your financial support!
Judge Carter has set a trial date of January 26, 2010 in this case. To keep that date, we need to defeat the DOJ dismissal motion, and then, IMMEDIATELY, move right into the discovery phase discussed above. BUT THAT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND WE WILL NEED TO:
Retain attorneys in Washington, D. C., to take the Obama deposition.
Retain attorneys in Hawaii to take the deposition of those in control of the Obama birth records and school records.
Take the deposition of Occidental, College officials to obtain Obama school records
We will have to retain attorneys in Massachusetts to take the deposition of Harvard. Law School officials to obtain Obama school records.
Pay the cost of the court reporters for all of these depositions. Plus,
Pay the cost of serving the subpoenas on the various witnesses.
HELP US MAKE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA PROVE IF HE IS ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: CLICK HERE NOW!
We expect the DOJ, as well as Mr. Obama's private attorneys, to fight us every step of the way! Obama attorneys will file motions to block the depositions in each and every state, and the District of Columbia by the Obama defense team!
WE WILL NEED MORE HELP TO:
Question the issue of the passport files of Mr. Obama! We're going to be going after the records of how he traveled abroad without a United States Passport in the 1980's, as he admits doing.
Question the issue of his alleged adoption by his step-father in Indonesia! We'll be seeking records about that also!Resolve questions about his Selective Service files! We'll be seeking records concerning that also!
But, first, we have to get past the DOJ dismissal motion!
The DOJ's motion to dismiss also claims that our clients have no "standing," that the Federal Court does not have "jurisdiction" to hear this case, and that the matter is "political."
But,if we as citizens of the United States have no "standing" to verify the citizenship of the man occupying the White House, who does?
If our Federal Courts have no jurisdiction to hear this case, who does? It's not a "political" question, it's a CONSTITUTIONAL question!
Last November, people said we were crazy to pursue this issue. Now, we've been shown to be right in our pursuit of the truth. It's not just the original birth certificate that they're refusing to release. Barack Obama's legal team has spent, according to published reports, over $1.4 million dollars so far to STOP anyone from seeing ANY of his actual identification documents, and many other documents.
WHAT is Barack Obama trying to hide? WHAT is he afraid of? WHY doesn't he just release these documents to prove he is a natural-born citizen and therefore qualified to be president -- especially his actual birth certificate?
When Barack Obama officially entered the office of President, he became, in essence, a "pretender to the throne." According to the Constitution, only a "natural born citizen" can occupy the presidency.
Even though he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama is NOT legally the President of the United States, unless he can prove that he is a "natural born citizen."
What's more, every action taken by him while he occupies the White House may be invalid. If he cannot legally be President, every law passed by Congress will be null and void because the Constitution clearly requires that all laws be signed by the President... and, without a legally elected and sworn in President in office, that becomes an impossibility.
This crisis must be ended! And it must be ended NOW!
HELP US MAKE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA PROVE IF HE IS ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
And that's just what we're fighting to do. The United States Justice Foundation is spearheading a campaign to protect the United States Constitution... and your liberty.
We have to press our case to stop Barack Obama from, apparently, illegally holding the Presidency, despite the ongoing threats against us. We are speaking of filing additional lawsuits and administrative actions, over and above the dozens already filed, if you will help us today.
Are you willing to see the Constitution shredded by the Left? Will you sit back and do nothing while a foreign-born person may be illegally occupying the White House as President of the United States?
Our country is on the fast track to disaster... but you can help us keep the situation from getting worse. I pray that I'll hear from you today.
Sincerely,
Gary Kreep, Executive Director
United States Justice Foundation
P.S. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history! It would be so simple to release the documents to PROVE Obama is a natural-born citizen… IF THEY HAD THE DOCUMENTS!
America has never before faced such a threat. Everything we hold dear is at risk with Barack Obama sitting as President without him releasing his actual birth certificate, plus the dozens of other documents that he refuses to produce.
Please remember that we are fighting in the California Appellate Court system.
Barack Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with DUPING the American people and DESTROYING the U.S. Constitution. DON'T LET HIM DO IT!

Helmet-less President Obama Is Bad

1636 CommentsWhile vacationing in Martha's Vineyard yesterday, President Obama was photographed several times riding a bicycle without a helmet. (Michelle and the kids were sporting the prescribed headgear.)
The White House did say that the President usually wears one, and supports helmet-wearing, but offered no explanation for his reckless ride.
To us, the answer is obvious: President Obama is a bad seed, the guy your mom used to make you steer clear of as you walked home from school with your deluxe Trapper Keeper clutched close to your chest.
Read on to find out all the ways President Obama is a bad influence.
(#4) By BenBetter (online) - about one day ago



you should not compare the behavior of a snake to that of a dodo.it is natural to seek to compare people,but when you choose who you are going to compare one to, and always choose someone that you think you are going to compare well with ,you are only giving yourself an easy out .one should compare your behavior with the ideal behavior you have the potential for. you don`t compare BILLY with Betty, you compare BILLY with the best BILLY can do. If this is the best obama can do then we should not criticize him,just help him do better,or his personal best. this was not his personal best!obamas behavior stands alone .he has his children with him ,how can he say to them and the other children of the world "obey the laws of our land " and at the same time disobey them himself. was BAD judgement, something he is becoming well known for.No one plans to fall and hit his head on a rock.most irresponsible ,dare devil minded people prefer to engage in high risk activities.all parents know how hard it is to get their children to do the right thing,when it comes to obeying the law and safety issues. they think it is unnecessary, un-cool ,makes then look like a dork.obama missed a chance to help all parents teach their children to do the right thing and still be cool.


Easy Rider

Not only did the Prez shun safety equipment, he was also photographed waving to cameras, which means he was riding one-handed! There's little doubt in our minds that he wouldn't think twice about popping a wheelie, or riding around with someone on the handlebars. The guy eats fear for breakfast.

Smokin' in the Boy's Room

There has been a lot of hard, investigative journalism dedicated to determining whether the Commander in Chief still smokes cigarettes, with the standard response being that he "struggles" with it. As any seasoned political observer will tell you, the absence of a hard denial means he's probably smoking it up in the locker room with his buddies, plotting ways to get ahold of some AIG executive's lunch money.

The Gambler

While your mom wouldn't even let you play low-limit Uno, the president is out there making Lady Luck a member of his cabinet. He famously spent a precious 11 minutes filling out March Madness brackets for ESPN, which everyone knows you don't do "just for fun."

He's also known to be an avid poker player, although he has thus far stonewalled Asylum's attempts to dig deeper into his card-playing predilections. Sure, there are those who will tell you that poker is about skill, even that it's "respectable," but Mom knew better.

Skipping Church

Although the president's former church became a huge issue during the campaign, in his first 6 months in office, Obama had yet to choose a church (he finally settled on one at the end of June). Sure, he said he was seeing the chaplain at Camp David, but that could just mean he's the one who brings the beer for the pre-game barbecue.

Beer-Mongering

Sure, there have been other presidents who drank, but Obama actually invented a new kind of diplomacy centered around pounding brewskis. And he had to arrange that peace meeting for a uniquely delinquent reason: calling the cops stupid.


The man is out of control.
