Starshine,

Why do you question your own intuition to call someone out ? If he is condescending in his comments, you shouldn't question if its okay for professional women (or women in general) to get bent about it.

The way that he talks to a "professional woman" is unacceptable if he is a presidential candidate, or just someone not in the relationship where that verbiage is not common.This is true whether she is a reporter or in fact the "waitress at the pie shop off the interstate."

And for those to whom Obama can do no wrong, just because he apologized does not make it okay.

I often love your story telling and I agree with your opinions. In this case however, I feel there are two things to point out.

Homelessness in SB is a huge concern hence the 10 yr plan to end chronic homelessness, but unfortunately homeless people are in so many places...I run a lot and this year on very early morning runs I have found where many homeless people pitch their tents under bridges and in bushes. The de la guerra homeless younger fellows are evident to us but it is important for us to know there are efforts we can join and help in bringing about a solution not only by supporting programs but by demanding (to the board of supervisors and state) that money be provided for supportive services, to provide rehabilitation (since that will be much cheaper in the long run than repeatedly incarcerating the homeless).

Secondly and more importantly, is the motivation of doing things. Why do we have to wait until its Christmas weekend to lend some help? Just because it's the trend of the season? (Currently reading: Starving Jesus) and it seems to raise similar questions.

Regardless, Happy Holidays.
