Obama

[LA Ute]

Washington, California, and Colorado(??)

I think he means "The American West that Voted for Me."

Why is Wyoming highlighted instead of Colorado?

Shows how much the territory between the Mississippi river and California really matters.

I think you must be insane. Name a Republican who is moderate enough to get elected and we can start to list the huge gaps between their preferred policies.

I think this is important to note. There is a difference between what a President prefers and what he can accomplish. I see many stark differences between what Obama prefers and what past Republican Presidents preferred. However, on occassion both were inept enough that what they accomplished was due to inertia more than them and in those cases the results were similar.

I think if the President starts whining that the whole world is against him would be a real good idea and will resonate with the American people at this time of a booming economy.

Many folks in Jackson Hole voted for him and anyone famaliar with WYO knows the state should stop after the first 10% from its western border.

I thought this op-ed from the LA Times had some good points on way Obama has handled the politics of his agenda

In March 2010, liberal columnist Peter Beinart argued that, for decades, Democratic politicians treated America's innate conservatism like a slumbering bear: If you make no sudden moves and talk quietly, you can get a lot done. But if you wake the bear, as Democrats did in the late 1960s and early '70s, the ursine silent majority will punish you.

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but it's a pretty funny blog:

Barack Obama's Teleprompter's Blog

Because There Is No POTUS Without TOTUS

TOTUS, of course, refers to the Teleprompter of the United States. An excerpt:

Time to Re-Engage

I guess it's fair to say that between trying to help fix the economy, bring peace to the Middle East . . . I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up this blog.

Well, after yesterday, that's about to change. First, you probably saw that Big Guy wasn't sticking to the script up in Ohio, where his "I, I, I ..." freelancing made him sound like he just a self-centered politician. And we all know ... well, you get the idea.

I think she is a wanker. Does that make me a sexist or open minded since I think Wuap, SIEQ and pelligrino are also wankers?

If you ever need someone to interpret 20th Century Argentine fiction for you, you'll be grateful that I spent 12 years of my life preparing myself to that end. Oh, on that day I tell you, you'll be glad that they keep people like me sitting at that lectern, because you can't handle the simulacra of truth.
