Romney was way cuter than I expected. That's all I can say for the Republican debate. :heh:

Edwards is trying to ride on Obama's coattails, and he should just drop out of the race - I think he is going for a VP slot. Obama was charismatic as always, and Hillary showed well as the more experienced statesman. The other guy is not even in the race.

I enjoyed the format.

I love Hillary... She has been there done that and knows way more about making change than any of the others... She is so much more experienced and has a former President as her own personal consultant.... :P

Obama is a good guy, but I have a hard time putting someone in the Whitehouse with a name of Barack "Hussein" Obama..... It just doesn't seem right to me....

John Edwards is a nice guy also but, he didn't and hasn't held an office long enough to have the experience needed for the job and I really dread the thought of "on the job training" for our President of the United States...

None of the other Democratic candidates impress me and since I'm a Democrat, I'm not listening to any of the Republican debates...

At times I thought Charles Gibson did not stay true to his attempts to let the candidates debate each other; at one point he seemed to be arguing.

I didn't watch most of the Republican debates. I did catch the Democrat debates. Nothing really surprised me, though. I am now sick of the phrase "agent of change." Obama struck me as a little stiff in comparison to the other three. I do think that Edwards was looking to align himself with either Obama or Clinton and he went with Obama (going for the VP slot if he doesn't do well in future primaries, perhaps?)

I really like Bill Richardson in a lot of ways, he has the most executive experience, but I don't think he has a chance. I would vote for any of the four, but right now I am pulling for Obama. As much as I would like to have a female president, I don't entirely like Clinton's record.

I consider myself independent, by the way.

I am so tired of "change" and being an "agent of change". We are replacing an idiot after 8 LONG freakin years...I know there will be change. The are using a $5 word for a $2 concept. A rock would be a change. I don't like cocky...I like smarts. One is cocky and one is smart.

I really pray that after the last miserable 8 LONG freakin years; we get someone who is smart, passionate, and more importantly, vissionary in repairing what state our country is in now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
