While there is no such fish as a "red herring", the term red herring refers to preserved herring. The smoking and brining process gave the fish a distinct reddish-brown colour as well as a strong odour. The term is used in Mother Goose Please come back when you have something to say that is not disqualified in the rules of Debate 101. Zut alors! you bots are dull. Where is James Gugieguelimo? At least he was creative.

It initiated with the women in Congress who were excluded from the game, and with Savannah Guthrie from msnbc who asked Obama about the issue. And it all started because Obama has more than once held all male basketball games, and it is starting to irk the women in government. I merely compiled a post, detailing the sexist actions of POTUS, as outlined by others. Perhaps you need to direct your *hatred* elsewhere. well, ya see, this *issue* didn’t initiate with me.

He thought there should be a Constitutional amendment to get reparations for the descendants of slaves. What I want to ask him is this..If he thinks the Constitution, and the process of governance it sets out, is such a piss-poor document, why doesn't he move to Kenya?? I am sure Odinga would step aside for him and he can be adored by the masses, be on TV every day, and spend <strong>their</strong> money flying around making speeches, and not doing much else. I wish he would..we can't afford him much longer. While he was lecturing at U of Chi he questioned why the Constitution didn’t allow for reparations to the slaves.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:59:57 +0000 http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/?p=35078#comment-1269385 My take on ‘’Hoops at the W.H. with POTUS” is that it wasn’t so much an exclusion of women as it was a publicity driven photo-op, as most everything is with BO, staged on a basketball court with men to frame and present him in the “coolest” most masculine light; this time, however, his showy, self-promoting display backfired, as the cast of starry-eyed sycophants usually counted on to curry his favor are now questioning his insensitivity to women. As an American woman who has voted in 12 presidential elections since 1964, I’m less offended by a men’s only event at the W.H. than I am the unremitting marketing of the presidency and first family by THIS president and THIS first family. It is unseemly. For those too young to remember many or any past modern day presidencies, this is one is not typical or usual; this presidency is deviant; it is theatre; this president does not participate in the hard work of governing; this presidency has little to do with anything the founders had in mind when they penned Article II of the Constitution. Article II of the U.S. Constitution charges the President to "faithfully execute" federal law, makes the President commander-in-chief of the United States armed forces, allows the President to nominate executive and judicial officers with the advice and consent of the Senate, and allows the President to grant pardons and reprieves.
