Two Unaligned Politicos Abusing the Meaning of Free Speech: National and Brentwood

I will not be a regular blogger, but i do have some comments.  First, why are the OBAMA's at the top of the Patch banner?  Each time I look, THERE THEY ARE---AGAIN.  I find this objectionable as Obama is the MOST unconstitutional pres. in history.  Why should a pic, (with author  "American GROAN" Michelle Obama looking so fat and healthy next to her nicotine addicted hub---when EVERYTHING we know about our USC freedoms are under attack??  

Second and finally, I find the Brentwood in-fighting and certain aldermanic fillabustering over Maureen Saunders to be NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF BRENTWOOD as a whole.  If there is a problem with the availability of information used in governance, or how laws came to be,  THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM.

I watched on the local cable a inexcusable exchange of "you slapped me harded so i have get to slap you back, and then..." (what?????)  mentality.  I was astounded.  I LOVE BRENTWOOD, in particular First Responders and Public Works.  BUT out of common dignity, don't parade individual (perceptual) differences/assaults like a school yard fight.  And quit mentioning the religious Church affiliations of any given members--as that is PERSONAL---NOT POLITICAL. Don't DO that.  If members can't say what they mean within a reasonable period of 3-7 minutes  (real time) THEN YOU HAVE NOT CLARIFIED YOUR OWN POSITION IN YOUR OWN MIND,  PRIOR TO OPENING YOUR MOUTH.  I do not mean this as a scathe, but as a Brentwood loving community member.  Meetings should not be more than 2-1/2 hours, or the blah..blah..bla...is excessive.  Line your ducks up, THEN shoot...BRENTWOOD IS BETTER THAN THIS.  sprintmudder
