First Lady in Laconia Thursday 4-2

pat88 · 08-01-2012, 10:36 PM

I wish I could be there but I won't be up there tomorrow. I would have loved to use the ticket! She is such a special lady who is an outstanding example of what a first lady should be. I wish she was the one running for President. Take care and enjoy tomorrow's meeting.

Hmmmm....let me think....

Perfect example of what a first lady should be: Michelle Obama or Laura Bush?

I'll take Laura Bush any day of the week. She had class.

i don't think this thread has much to do with the Lakes Region anymore.

I agree... started as a simple offer of a free ticket to a legit Lakes Region event, and like other threads, morphed into something else.

I'm out!

I think it was awesome of SteveA to offer the ticket.

(I would love to be able to take him up on the offer, but I can't spare the time today.)

Couldn't agree more that Laura Bush was excellent. Her emphasis on improving reading skill was terrific, and she is a classy lady.

I also think the cause Michelle Obama has chosen to work on, childhood obesity, is critically important, and she is also doing a great job. I think she is also a very well spoken, classy lady.

I might give her and her terrorist hubby a little respect if they weren't blood related to Osama Bin Laden... Just saying...

Use Public Media Standards as a Benchmark

The tone and content of your message should meet the same general standards required of a newspaper column or "Letter to the Editor". Before you submit your message, ask yourself if it would be accepted by the editor of a newspaper or magazine.

Be Polite

Always show courtesy and respect, even when you strongly disagree with another person.

Have Something to Say

This is not a chat-room. Not all messages must be momentous but we prefer messages which actually contribute something. Try not to post one-liners or "chat-room" like replies.

Don't Flood

Stay on Topic

When replying to another message, try to stay with the topic of the thread. Open a new thread if you want to change the topic.

between legitimate political discussion and argument. There is a very broad line between political discussion and poisonous ignorance....but we have managed to cross it. We need some moderation and to end this thread.

Her visit to Laconia is related to the Lakes Region and is a valid topic for this forum. When Sarah Palin visited Weirs Beach in 2008 pictures and comments were posted here and Romney's recent visits to Wolfeboro have been discussed.

However, this is not a forum for national politics and information about her visit should not turn into debates about her and her husband's policies.

I've received several "Reported Post" messages. I'm going to close the thread so the information can remain without further political comments.
