We don't have three more years of Obama in this country. We haven't had any of him, apart from a flying visit with the First Lady. What are you on about? Anyway this news report is about Ellen De Generes' selfie. I don't think Obama is in it, do you?

What a horrible narcissistic bully Putin is. His Cossack thugs let the mask slip during the Sochi Olympics but it wasn't well reported. Shame on the rest of us for not boycotting Sochi. The writing was on the wall. The comparisons to the Berlin 1936 Olympics are startling.

Even in the New Testament church the first day of the week was differentiated from the Sabbath. 2. please address Romans 14 v 5. 3. please address Colossians 2 v 16. thank you.
