I keep wondering who was on that little sight seeing adventure. Photo op and training exercise my ass! Someone wanted to get up close and personal with Miss Liberty IMO.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks there is more to the story of Air Force One buzzing downtown New York?

No, you are not the only one.

Sarah Palin had her teleprompter malfunction during her acceptance speech at the Republican Convention, and SHE did not miss a beat.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks there is more to the story of Air Force One buzzing downtown New York? A low level guy took the fall for this, but someone much higher up must have authorized it. Perhaps someone as high up at the TOTUS.

Seriously? This is just middle-school brand snarkiness. I stumbled, unfortunately, in here and am left with this feeling that our country is mean, immature and acerbic.

Maybe we should all actually consider doing something besides contemplating our AM Starbucks orders, or hanging out on message boards making up things that we can use as a juvenile tool to make fun of the President. This is an iconic example of the deep, cultural crisis our country is in. Consider getting off the message boards and going and doing something out in the real world.

He was here in Chicago today, greeting our state comptroller Dan Hayes—that’s Hynes, Joe— and remarking upon the presence of all 32 alderman (there are 50). So Oh That Joe was at it again.

Maybe the lipstick wearing pig. He thought that was pretty funny. He has a “gift”.

I noticed B.O. didn’t laugh with the audience as he fumbled his speech. Guess he only laughs when it is at others’ expense, i.e. Jessica Simpson, Nancy Reagan, Special Olympic participants…who have I forgotten?

James Fallows just cannot stop praising PBO’s speeches. And I actually corresponded with him regarding this TOTUS issue. He was quite condescending in the beginning, saying anybody criticizing PBO’s use of TOTUS is crazy. Now I have to refrain myself from sending him clips of PBO’s slipup with or without the TOTUS.

Dolceder quoted:

“He shares that honour with James Fallows, who served as Jimmy Carter’s speechwriter at the same age.”

and then said,

“There is something to be said for experience.”

Also something to be said for “deja vu all over again” x 10.

God help us all!

Too funny Susan, love it. You have to wonder about competence when you see Obama struggle in speech even with TOTUS. Look at the confidence and command of Hillary at every turn, speaking with clarity and grace each time, the competent one who should be President.

I hope his planet comes for him soon.

For sure or the next passing comet. Where is Hale-Bopp when you most need it?

Well, he does have a gift. A gift which he is graciously sharing with us little people who aren’t worthy of that light which emanates from his very presence. I hope his planet comes for him soon.

There’s a meltdown a-coming. That One is unable to accept anything he sees as criticism and it’s all criticism to him unless his derriere is being smooched.
