I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
What did Obama say that was offensive? Or are you reacting to the headline? ...
Did you read the article? And no, I'm not reacting to the headline. And, offensive was your word, not mine.

I never mentioned qualifications. But, as you did how exactly do you see a background in law or political science as being more advantageous than any other profession?

Yes, it would be refreshing to find n an honest politician, regardless of party.

What was inappropriate about Obama’s remarks? What about his speech was unbecoming a former president?
In September, when NPR obtained a copy of the recalled book, Regnery said they would "be happy to talk to you more about 2,000 Mules once it is published." But when asked about arranging an interview this week, Regnery president Thomas Spence declined.
"At this point, Regnery is not offering any comment on the book 2,000 Mules," Spence wrote in an email.
D'Souza did not respond to NPR's request for comment.
Mr D'Souza is unable to back up his claims or make good on his promises but people will still use 2000 Mules as evidence of voter fraud.
I guess to understand why it's not a bigger concern, I'm curious as to why it's any kinda concern at all?
For me the concern is for the well being of the people. That's the compassion side. The fiscal conservative heavily taxed middle income no loopholes taxpayer in me is concerned of the time, money and resources border patrol takes.
I have no easy answers and we all have what issues we are concerned about.
I guess this is acceptable, coming from a Democrat.
Seems pretty tame and acceptable to me. It's politics after all.

"President Obama was here last night. He said I'm a celebrity. He got that one wrong, didn't he? I'm not a celebrity, I'm a warrior for God. He got something else wrong, too. Remember two years ago he told us to vote for Joe Biden, didn't he? He got that one wrong, did he not? He's lost twice to Georgia already, hasn't he, so I think he probably needs to sit this one out," Walker said Saturday, according to political reporter for The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Why? The 100 who are in there now aren't exactly doing a bang up job.
Nor were they when Obama was there.
Polls now, and back then, back me up on that.
Its silly to knock on someone's lack of qualifications when at the same time most of us agree we should get rid of most of the ones who currently hold the job.
Seems pretty tame and acceptable to me. It's politics after all.
Maybe relatively tame. But, I think the point was both sides spit out vitriol at the other. In this case, it's the beloved Obama. You all claim Obama, and then Biden, work so hard to unite us. The reality is, the things they say are just as divisive as anyone else, including Trump.
Most, if not all of, the political ads I've heard recently have nothing to do with what good a candidate can do. It's all about how evil the other side is. And Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans.
For me the concern is for the well being of the people. That's the compassion side. The fiscal conservative heavily taxed middle income no loopholes taxpayer in me is concerned of the time, money and resources border patrol takes.

You have been very defensive about the narrative that Democrats want open borders. From a compassion point of view, and to use less resources enforcing the border, it seems you would want open borders. What am I missing?
My biggest concern is also about resources, but of a different category. You know what's bigger than the resources used for the Border Patrol? The resources used by these folks once they are here. That's how it effects our daily lives, even if you live far away from the border. Or, if you live close like your friend in El Paso.
We can't support everyone who wants to or is coming here.

Yes I read the article. I obviously misunderstood what you meant by " I guess this is acceptable, coming from a Democrat." In fact, I admit, I still don't understand what you statement meant.
I mentioned qualifications because I think that is what Obama was talking about. To my understanding, the job of a senator is to write and pass laws, thus a background in law would serve as a qualification. The rules of the senate can be confusing, so a background in political science would be useful. Also, the senate approves federal judges and Supreme Court justices, so again, a background, or at least an understanding of the law would be important to me.

You are certainly free to disagree.
He not only attacked his qualifications. He attacked his charactor as well.

I guess I don't understand the whole deal with him paying for abortions. I thought he admitted that he had. If he was less than truthful, then that says something about his character. But as I said, I don't understand all the details. If he paid for more than two, then he needs to practice better birth control.
