Obama & Clinton Interviewed Together
Posted by Michelle Moquin on January 28th, 2013
Good morning!
Thank you all for the wonderful birthday messages and kind words! I feel truly loved and appreciated by all of you.
I liked this 60 Minutes interview with Obama and Clinton from last night. I thought it was a great idea of Obama’s to want to include Hillary Clinton in the interview. I liked the interaction between them, and their praise and respect of each other. Some people are putting it down saying it was a “love fest.” So what. I’m praising it because of that. Does everything on the news have to be hateful and depressing to be considered news?
Anyway I thought you might like it too, if you didn’t already see it. And if you thought it was waste of time, well then that’s your opinion too. Everyone’s got one and I’m open to hearing them all. Speaking of opinion, I did enjoy seeing Obama give his opinion of the press. You’ll need to watch to see what I mean.
Obama and Clinton: The 60 Minutes interview
From bitter opponents to powerful partners, President Obama and Secretary Clinton discuss their friendship, Benghazi, Clinton’s health and more.

Hafa adai.
This happened in the states. A son of Guam was found murdered inside his apartment in San Diego, California and a homicide investigation is underway. Jonathan Jake Tenorio, 25, was found dead inside his Mission Valley apartment on Sunday. According to affiliate KFMB in San Diego, Tenorio’s roommate discovered the body and there are indications that he had been stabbed to death, but the actual cause of death had yet to be determined.
Tenorio is in the U.S. Navy where he was assigned to serve on the U.S.S. Bunker Hill. He is originally from Mangilao graduated from George Washington High School in 2004 and graduated from the Naval Academy last year.

Fall Asleep Faster
Resetting your inner clock helps you get the rest you need within a week…
If you can’t fall asleep at a reasonable hour, you might tell yourself that you are a “night owl” or just suffer from insomnia. But turning to sleeping pills, as many insomnia sufferers do, can be a big mistake.
These medications may not improve your situation and could even make it worse if you have a type of sleep disorder known as delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD)—a condition that affects about 10% of people who complain of chronic insomnia.
Even worse: Your situation can be exacerbated by the shorter days and later sunrises of winter.
Could you have DSPD? How to find out—and what to do about it…
WHY CAN’T YOU GET TO SLEEP?
People who have DSPD find it hard to fall asleep before 2 am or sometimes even later. With this disorder, the sufferer’s circadian rhythm, or internal sleep clock, is shifted later at night and, as a result, he/she awakens later in the morning.
If you have DSPD, you might, for example, naturally fall asleep at 2 am and feel ready to get up about 10 am.
The problem is, most people need to get up at around 7 am or so to get to work or start their daily activities. If you drag yourself out of bed in order to meet a typical daily schedule, you will then have to deal with the fatigue, grogginess and irritability that can occur when you do not get enough sleep.
While most cases of DSPD are due to a circadian rhythm disorder, symptoms of insomnia also could be due to other causes, such as depression, anxiety disorders, neurological impairments (including dementia) or even certain drugs such as the beta-blockers commonly used for high blood pressure.
Important:
Talk to your doctor about your sleep symptoms so that he/she can confirm that they are due to problems with your circadian rhythm. You may be advised to consult a sleep specialist.*
If you are diagnosed with DSPD, chronotherapy, which aims to reset your body’s biological rhythms, usually improves symptoms within a week.
A SECRET THAT REALLY WORKS
Your body’s inner clock expects sleep to begin at a certain time, which varies from person to person. About two hours before that time, the clock signals the pineal gland, a small, pinecone-shaped gland located near the center of the brain, to begin releasing small amounts of the “sleep hormone” melatonin.
For the average sleeper, melatonin levels start to rise about 9 pm to prepare the body to fall asleep around 11 pm. The melatonin itself is not putting you to sleep the way sleeping pills do—rather it is signaling the sleep centers in the brain, via the inner clock, that nighttime is beginning.
While using a melatonin supplement, sold over-the-counter in drugstores, might seem like an obvious aid to help you fall asleep earlier, most people take it right before sleep, which overwhelms the body with excessive levels of the hormone.
This can lead to side effects such as difficulty awakening, fatigue and even a feeling of sadness the next day.
However, melatonin can be used very successfully to synchronize one’s circadian rhythms and shift the body clock earlier so that the urge to sleep occurs earlier.
The secret is to take tiny amounts of the hormone—no more than what the pineal gland releases naturally. The other crucial point is to take the melatonin well before the inner clock typically signals the pineal gland to release melatonin.
Important study:
At the Center for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, researchers developed and tested a controlled-release melatonin tablet that allows a fine stream of melatonin to be absorbed over hours.
In research volunteers, the microdose tablet (0.2 mg) produced blood levels of melatonin that were in the same range as those produced naturally by the pineal gland.
What’s more, the melatonin from the tablet was washed out of the blood by the morning, mimicking the body’s normal removal of pineal melatonin. In contrast, when the volunteers took a higher-dose tablet, melatonin was still lingering in the blood the next day, which can counteract the desired effect and actually shift the inner clock even later.
What to do:
Until the microdose tablet is commercially available, DSPD sufferers can try using a 1-mg tablet cut into quarters with a pill cutter—one-quarter of the tablet should be taken six hours before your “natural bedtime” (driven by your natural circadian sleep–wake cycle).
Caution:
A 1-mg tablet cut into quarters is not a precise dose, and some people may experience grogginess in the early evening.
To determine your natural bedtime:
Take the quiz at http://www.CET.org, the Web site of the Center for Environmental Therapeutics (CET), a nonprofit organization that educates the public and professionals on sleep disorders. Click on “Therapeutic Resources & Tools”…“Self-Assessment Tools”…“Your Circadian Rhythm Type.” Once you determine your natural bedtime, count back six hours and take the melatonin tablet at that time.
DON’T FORGET TO DIM THE LIGHTS
Exposure to bright indoor or outdoor lights suppresses melatonin levels. What to do…
Use low-level “soft white” bulbs—they are easy on the eyes and produce minimal glare.
Dim computer and TV screens to the lowest comfortable level at least two hours before bedtime.
Wear “blue-blocking” protective glasses if you must be in bright light after taking your evening melatonin. The filter on the lenses screens out the blue rays from computer and TV screens and bright lights.
Unlike sunglasses, blue-blocking glasses enhance night vision. These glasses (on the CET Web site for about $80) can fit over prescription glasses.
Once you start taking melatonin and dimming the lights in the evening, DSPD should improve within one week (some people improve the first night). Be sure not to get into bed until you start feeling sleepy, which will likely be earlier than usual.
If you get into bed before the urge to sleep kicks in, you can worsen insomnia.
As your sleep-onset time becomes earlier, be sure to gradually move up the time you take the melatonin so that it continues to be six hours before you are ready for sleep.
If you stop chronotherapy and return to a later sleep pattern, the problem should subside when you resume the melatonin regimen. Some people will need to take melatonin indefinitely—this is fine.

Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are the only two things standing between Obama and a 100% friendly media.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:42 am
Didn’t watch the entire interview, big waste of time, but from what I did see, it was a so called “mutual admiration society” gab fest. So sad that Obama was never or has never been vetted by the MSM as any other President has been.
And what is really sad is that so many people think he is doing a great job. I would like to know what he has done that is so great? Worst econcomy for the longest period in our history, more people on food stamps than ever in our history, longest unemployment rate of over 8% in our history.
More middle class downgraded to the “poverty class” in our history, first time for a credit down grade in our history, plus the Midddle East and North Africa in the worst mess in our history. Just what about all this is great?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:47 am
What the media refuses to see about Obama’s character and Clinton’s character is that both can take their worst enemy and turn them into a friend.
The reason is neither of these two people hold grudges against their adversaries.
They are both mature, honest, and open when it comes to dealing with people. They are mature enough to agree and disagree respectfully. You either accept them for who they are or you don’t. Either way, they both know how to make amends and then move forward from there. This is how two people build trust.
This is how they both roll in the game in the life and it is what makes their relationship special.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:47 am
Obama and Hillary hate each other…they did during the campaign in 2008, and they do now. But now, both are done……Obama has no more elections, and Hillary’s career ends with her leaving the State Department, with the disaster in Benghazi as a backdrop. Fact is, they don’t care anymore, as their lives in public service is at or near the end.

Obama only knows how to Campaign, and that’s what he was doing for Hillary, on 60 minutes.
The two of them were so full of themselves… Obama even LAUGHED when Benghazi was brought up.
And, ironically, when anyone asks, “What Exactly has Hillary ever Accomplished, as a Senator, or as Secretary of State…. there’s tone silence.
Hillary and Obama have a lot in common: they’re both overzealous politicians who care NOTHING about this country… its only about THEIR ambitions. Obama wanted to be the first Black President, and Hillary wants to be the First Female President.
We saw what voting for “making History” got us; let’s hope Americans don’t repeat it.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:51 am
Pat#3, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are the ones lying. You haven’t figured that out yet?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:52 am
Don’t forget our wonderful patriots Beck and Hannity. Or even WaPo’s own Krauthammer.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:53 am
Ira, Progressives conform to authority much easier than the free spirits on the right.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:54 am
Paul, you have to accept the fact that the majority of americans embrace the philosophy and platform of the democratic party, which is why their candidate won, not because of the color of his skin.
This is proven by his huge margin of victory during his run for the second term. The novelty which may have gained him votes in the first race, was past, and he won on the issues. Should Hillary Clinton run, she will alo win because of the same reasons.
The american voters will not accept the elitist politics that the republicans have been offering and if they continue to listen to the Tea Party and their wealthy contributors, the result will be the same, another defeat.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:55 am
Pat#10, The right is made up of “free spirits”?
The kind that want to dictate what happens in your bedroom? That kind of “free”?
Do all republican supporters base their arguments on BS and lies, or just the ones who troll blogs like Michelle’s?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:57 am
Liberals do NOT like ANY conservative in the media, because they cannot accept anyone’s else opinion except their own, yet they espouse to be the “tolerant” party. They are “tolerant” ONLY if you agree with their opinions, doesn’t matter if their opinions are NOT factual.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:58 am
The STATE is TRUTH – all others are liars.
Why does everyone romanticize the totalaterianism?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:59 am
“because they cannot accept anyone’s else opinion except their own”
When your opinion is based on lies, there is a problem. There are no people in journalism that think the world is flat, because journalism means telling the facts, to polluted opinions.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:59 am
“They are “tolerant” ONLY if you agree with their opinions”
And they ONLY agree with your opinions if you base those opinions on reality.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:00 am
Pat, You are just repeating the same BS over and over with absolutly no ration arguments.
That is called “trolling”.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:00 am
We don’t fold to the authorities as easiliy as you do.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:02 am
Honestly, what does that BS even mean?
What are you trying to accomplish?
January 28th, 2013 at 10:03 am
Ira, I know, freedom and liberty are above your pay grade.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:04 am
John #6, I don’t believe their lives in public service are done. I think Hilary has a damn good chance of winning 2016, should she choose to throw her hat in the ring. Women are sick of how this country is being run; her female base has been steadily growing.
/SB
January 28th, 2013 at 10:04 am
Okay,
You are now on ignore for being a completely useless child. Grow up kid.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:05 am
Ira, are there any smart people in your family?? or are they misfortunate like you????….
January 28th, 2013 at 10:06 am
Stan, Make an intelligent argument and get back to me.
Your name calling only makes you look foolish.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:07 am
Ira, anyone who voted for Obama twice can’t be intelligent….hence….you would not understand an intelligent conversation…… so….tell me…are you like Chris Matthews and get a tingle up your leg when Obama speaks?????…
January 28th, 2013 at 10:08 am
“Worst econcomy for the longest period in our history, more people on food stamps than ever in our history, longest unemployment rate of over 8% in our history. ”
And you can thank republicans for all of that, unless you are one of those morons that blames Obama for the things he inherited…

I thought there was enough bickering on the blog so I am posting an Alien tale.
The new Aliens coming to earth are irate because these aliens who defected to earth have mastered the codes used to locate any alien that would defect from their mothership. The problem is that the aliens who defected can only use their codes during a short period when they reach earth. This means that if they decode an alien who does not intend to defect, those aliens will not be able to be located by their mothership if they get lost for any reason.
The “new aliens” are many of the recent arrivals from different corners of the Universe. The defections are not abnormal. The defection rate is about the same as it would be on any other planet a mothership was visiting.
The difference is the new technology that allows an organized group of deserters (AWOLs) to shut down a mothership’s means of keeping track of their people on earth.
Hence, Quu has decided to help catch the defectors. His six-dimensional skills have proved extraordinarily successful in locating those AWOL aliens. He is on their most hated list. They go into hiding when he is on one of his vehicles but, they do whatever they can to make his life difficult when he is on earth.
They know that he is extremely vulnerable when he occupies a human body. Their present efforts have been to get human Women to try to seduce his earth body to get him to remain in it longer. Their hope is to find a weakness they can use to terminate him.
As long as Urte is here, Quu can operate with impunity and the AWOLs have to hide or be caught or killed. The curious irony is that many of the other aliens that are not pleased by the AWOLS deactivating their locators are planning on assisting those AWOLs in clipping Quu’s wings because they too fear this six-dimensional being.
Collectively the aliens have to depend on the Emperor to defend their positions should Quu come into the powers the invaders from a sixth-dimensional plane exhibited when they battled the Emperor for domination of this sector of the Universe.

Seems to me, they’re doing whatever it takes for a mutual cause and in that alone it seems they’ve laid their gauntlets side by side. All good politicians (and wise peeps) want to turn a natural ‘enemy’ into a friend, it’s easier to handle and friends want to actually help each other. It’s a smart, mature way to be also…more peeps should try it.
Howie, interesting tale and of course, I’m sure others, like myself, are interested in just how he made out being seduced by us earth women bc we have that way of exposing mens weaknesses without ever asking anything : )
Luv, Zen Lill
