In a move that can only be called self indulgent, or to use a favorite word of mine - psychopantic, today President Obama and his wife gave the figure head of England, otherwise known as the Queen, an Ipod containing the following:
Not to be out down the Queen returned the favor by giving the King and Queen of America the beta version of the Ipod, a framed portrait of the Royal Family.
Yeah, he’s running for President and he hasn’t done a press conference in a month. Doesn’t that strike you as odd. Why isn’t he doing a press conference a day or at least a week to address policy proposals?
Obama bitchs often about the superficiality of the media and how they don’t ask good questions. “The media isn’t focused on the important issues facing the nation, he complains. On Saturday in Nevada, Obama sat for an exclusive interview with Mario Lopez, the actor who played “A.C. Slater” on “Saved by the Bell,” to air on the TV show “EXTRA!” According to the promotional materials from “EXTRA!,” “Asked about the tragic news that (actress Jennifer) Hudson’s mother and brother were killed Friday in Chicago, Obama states, ‘Oh it was heartbreaking, in fact I’m still trying to get a phone number to call her at this tragic time. She is somebody who has campaigned for me, she also lives in my community. So, we’re really going to have to help her and pray for her and her family during this difficult time.’”
No, no Barack is right it’s very important to address AC Slaters questions and concerns.
The Institute which holds some very rare Nostradamus manuscripts, believes that some of the quatrains written by the 16th century soothsayer are very close to describing the fight for the White House that is happening now.
243 The great empire will be torn from limb, The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come, The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.
The problem with Obama flip flopping on such a dynamic and key issue for his campaign and for the future direction of this country is that he starts sounding less and less like a fresh new face and an embodiment of “Hope” and “Change” and more like politics as usual.
The GOP is currently in shambles with McCain not doing himself any favors but we all saw how being labeled as an elitist snob and flip flopper negatively effected John Kerry’s campaign. This election is starting to look less like the best candidate will win and more like the last man standing.
I am in agreement with Obama. He should change his stance on Iraq. It doesn’t make sense to invest a few trillion dollars in the future of a whole region of the world and then just walk away because we shouldn’t have been there in the first place. We’re there now and we need to figure out the best way to secure the region and then leave. But you can’t be against the war and campaign on pulling out our troops to separate yourself from the pack and then change your stance after you have secured the nomination and think that no one will notice.
Obama and Clinton fought over anything and everything even though they shared basically the same positions on the issues. Accusing each other of deliberately distorting records was a everyday occurrence. Can they change? Will people buy this “Unity?” Does it matter? To early to tell and way too early to count out the underdog McCain.
Then Now
The question remains will the public buy Clinton’s sincerity and will Clinton’s donors come along for the ride? Barack will need both to defeat an underrated McCain in November.
It has to be hard for both sides to come together after being so bitterly opposed. Will the public see through this transparent facade of political unity?
Obama comes bouncing out of the gate with a 15 point leadover presumptive Republican Nominee John McCain. It’s still very very very early in this process and neither of these men are incumbents, which changes the way polls are evaluated, but a lead of this magnitude will grab significant media attention.
The Obamedia for the most part is already on the Senators bandwagon. Let’s see what he does from here. Can he hold this lead from the comeback kid?
Will he get a bigger bounce from the nomination convention in Denver? What will McCain do? This should be fun!
Maybe the Patriots should re-align their chi like this rad dog.
10 former US based businesses that have moved aboard to avoid heavy taxes. “We felt that American companies, based upon the tax laws that are written today, are clearly put at an economic disadvantage to foreign companies,” said Victoria Guennewig, a spokeswoman for Cooper Industries, in defense of the company’s relocation.
