Not to mention dates, AF1, bowing, and appologizing. p.s. tell your fat wife she is not to salute getting off the plane or chopper! add in that 'indoctrination' of schoolchildren brouhaha, and the above is my foremost reason to believe the large mass of rational individuals will flock to Obama, just to reject the lunatic fringe that has formed in opposition. Tom Um, while I think the text should have been released with the announcement (but it's clear why the WH didn't release it - they are still playing to the choir with this petty ****) and I also think the opposition should have waited to see what he intended to say, I would remind you that such a "brouhaha" has, er, precedent...Dems, including many of those in Congress (...so, OK, they're a big part of the "lunatic fringe"...for both parties...well, at least the "lunatic" part, anyway...), went bat**** when Bush 41 wanted to do the same thing. Gebhardt and Pelosi were very vocal and I especially remember one Martin Frost, Texas Dem, who had a few PR folks of his own over the years, who said that such was a waste of precious Fed funds for such political advertising and, AHEM, attempts at indoctrination. He further said that if Bush wanted to attempt to convert kids to the GOP, he should fire some of his PR people and use that money (as you might guess, that was particularly memorable in part of my circle...). All that said, if all he wants to do is give a non-political speech, I think it's a good thing. But the WH not releasing the speech is simply an attempt to stir the ****. And while it worked, many moderates recognize it for what it is - nasty, silly partisan politics, and that does not help him in the long run. This obsession of the far-left wing to portray the far-right wing as "wackjobs" does nothing but hurt Obama. The moderate middle already considers both extremes as, to be charitable, the "fringe" and Obama being seen as part of that makes him look no better than the "fringe." I suspect this plays a part in why more than the traditional "fringe" has suspicions about his motives. It's like the birth cert crap - most, had he simply released the damned thing, would have said, "OK, you've seen it, he's legit, now shut the flock up about it, you pack of loonies..." But by not releasing it, and keeping the loonies all riled up, moderates begin to say to themselves, "OK, sure, he's eligible to be POTUS and all, but ya know, what IS he trying to hide/do here...why is he doing this...?" Again, he and his people have arrogantly bought into their self-created myth, fueled by the early-on "friendly" media and he's beginning to look like the spoiled sports star or actor who has read one too many of their own favorable press clippings, all the while forgetting they were created by their own press agents. And before you or anyone else says, "It's just the loonies who are all up about this," I'll remind you that he has lost _dramatic_ support among the middle - probably on the order of 5-10% - that he could have kept with a less partisan (appearing) approach. And he'll never get it back with the same ease that he got it the first time around. TC, R |

" the pres is a crack head "
WASHINGTON – The White House is taking a mostly tight-lipped stance on an environmental adviser who made inflammatory statements in the past and is linked to efforts suggesting a governmental role in the 2001 terror attacks. |

I am quoting what "Van Jones" stated about the president .....
einstein......... WASHINGTON – The White House is taking a mostly tight-lipped stance on an environmental adviser who made inflammatory statements in the past and is linked to efforts suggesting a governmental role in the 2001 terror attacks. Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," issued a statement of apology on Thursday. When asked on Friday whether President Barack Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration." |
