My thoughts will come later, but for now you can see how the Pres feels about the whole thing. Looks like he was into it more for the event than the story. Chin up Barack, all good stories have to end, even if they end poorly.

So the last 2 issues of Thunderbolts and the season finale of the last Heroes season have something in common – they both feature people fooling Obama. And not just simple trickery – getting him to sign on for something so unlike his visible character, and so stupid it would never fly in real life, [...]

I thought your speech was good, and it hit most of the important notes I thought it should – although potentially in somewhat vague language (but hey thats politic-speak right? :( ). I’m hopeful, but not stupid or euphoric. Good luck Mr. President. Even with your vaunted intellect, I think you’ll need it. You’ve [...]

Let’s start things off with what must be a Darwin award nominee. I’m glad this wasn’t in the US, but I’m sure it could happen here. Oh look! It’s another nominee! You’ve heard of people dumb enough to fall for those scams right…? But someone dumb enough to steal for one? fail. The bit about [...]

I’ll keep my thoughts short since I’m tired of typing: McCain came across as really angry/annoyed (to me of course!) again. Surprise! He brought up the Ayers crap that I thought he might have the balls to go against his Rove-eges advice. This isn’t going to get him any points. Specifics aside, I suspect that, [...]

I’m not a fan of Hillary’s delivery, but her speech was fairly good. Same deal with Kerry (and god he looks & sounds OLD!) – poor delivery, good speech, better than any speech of his I can recall hearing before. I caught a bit of one of the Latino (Hispanic? I forget the terminology) Caucus [...]

Quite worth listening to at least (no I didn’t watch it…I just ran it while doing other things….shitting actually *cough* and listened to it). He’s definitely a great speaker, and he wasn’t even using his “preacher voice” that so many comment on. [youtube = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnhmByYxEIo]

Seriously, because if you dig hard enough, you can find most of them saying something stupid. Not that Obama or McCain couldn’t have chosen better – it’s not hard to find either of their relevant pastors saying something not-media-smart. Of course there is a slight difference in that Obama actually attended Wright’s church for years, [...]

from beliefnet: In the past few primaries, pollsters have spliced the numbers so we could see to what extent white voters said race was an important factor in their vote. Below, the first number is the percent of white voters who said race was important; the second number is Obama’s margin of victory or defeat: [...]

He was over there yesterday I guess, the first presidential candidate in ~40 years to stop in. More here. Happy Mother’s Day all you mothers, and I hope your partners (those crazy mother fuckers!) took care of you today. Zain gave me a face hug this morning. It was the most adorable thing ever.
