On a night when the Library of Congress meant to honor a legendary Beatle star with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the evening was tarnished for many when Paul McCartney took a jab at former U.S. President George W. Bush.

"It's a fantastic honor that the Gershwin family [would] give me this incredible award and for me to be awarded it by the Library of Congress," he began. "And in fact, after the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is."

Warren Smith, associate publisher of WORLD Magazine, believes the comment reflects poorly on the entertainer.

"Pretty much everybody since then has said that it was a pretty classless thing to say, and Dana Perino, who was a White House press secretary, said that it was completely ungracious and undignified," Smith reports. "That's been pretty much the consensus of many folks who are even perhaps McCartney fans and Obama supporters."

(Billy's Thoughts>>>  Bush was a smart man but even if he wasn't  the above statement was out of line.  This White House I thought was going to bring the nation together. What Paul M. said will not help to do that and President Obama  should have said so. Read more of the above story Beatle bashes Bush.)

  Here is some news about what Obama is going to do in the White House  and somebody he wants to bring with him.

 

The incoming Obama administration is prepared to abandon George Bush's ­doctrine of isolating Hamas by establishing a channel to the Islamist organisation, sources close to the transition team say.

Sixteen years after Bill Clinton tried to end restrictions on gays in the military, the US armed forces under Barack Obama may be forced to give homosexuals the same welcome as non-gays.

 

Obama's decision to name Leon Panetta to lead the US intelligence agency surprised the spy community and signaled the Democrat's intention for a clean break from Bush administration policies.

To find out what I think about these issues watch a video I just posted on You Tube  Obama Concerns.

 I am honored that so many people look to me to help them enjoy more fulfilling relationships with their dogs, but the truth is that the dogs themselves have been my teachers. The most valuable lessons I’ve received have come from animals. Here are some of the ways dogs have helped me become a better, happier, and more-balanced human being.

Live in the moment.
People often wonder how I get such quick results with the dogs I rehabilitate. The answer is simple: Dogs live in the moment. They don’t regret the past or worry about the future. If we can learn to appreciate and focus on what’s happening in the here and now, we’ll experience a richness of living that other members of the animal kingdom enjoy.

Well I was right Thursday  night Florida and   Tim Tebow proved they are the best in college football. OU was a good team but Florida was better. I also loved what Tim Tebow said after the game about his faith in Jesus.  Good for him. He is a great player and even better person.   
Now I am going to try my hand at NFL picks . Here are the games and my picks.
