I remember the few times (precious few) that McCain actually took a stand against OZero, political hacks like David Brooks said “that’s not the McCain I knew”.

Yeah. The McCain you knew is the demo butt-boy of the “republican” party and when once or twice he refuses to take it in the butt, it’s not the McCain “they knew”.

Yep, he really likes his new 747...

That bill was so urgent, he decided to wait a few days and throw a party before signing it...

A little aside here:

“Table Fifty-Two (aka Table 52) is a restaurant on Chicago’s Gold Coast co-owned by the personal chef of Oprah Winfrey, Art Smith.”

Thank you.

For my taste buds, I find the menu a tad strange...:

“Look for faves like fried chicken and waffles and pan-seared catfish, plus seasonally-minded entrees, wood-fired pizzas and sides such as braised collard greens.”

It sounds like a train wreck inside one’s mouth.

I suppose they didn’t pay for it, so what the hey. The Obamas gave the restaurant free advertisement, and I bet the Obamas got a free meal.

What a classy couple.

I think the thing that stands out to me the most is that, barely a week after the Prez goes to some elementary school to read stories to the kids because he’s “tired of the White House”, he now takes a vacation.

I seem to recall two weekends past he went to Camp David; last week travelled to two states; this past weekend went home and will be in Denver on Tuesday -- all within the first month of his Presidency and doesn't bat an eye at the cost to taxpayers he claims to care so much about.

GET BEHIND YOUR DESK AND DO WHAT YOU WERE HIRED TO DO.

As I was reading through the posts it crossed my mind that after he lands in D.C. he’ll go directly to a public school to meet up with Mrs. BO for a quality time photo op.

I should think the usual thing would be for Fitz, or a messenger, to visit the President in the White House, not to summon the President to a meeting. Also, I’m afraid, I think Fitz is a Democrat tool. He went after Blago because Daley gave him the go-ahead. But he certainly won’t bother Barry.

If you look at what little of the record we’va actually got, this seems like typical Obama to me. He has never done an honest day’s work in his life. He voted “present” more often than anyone else. He was chair of an important subcommittee in the Senate and never even held a token meeting where the members could vote “present.”

He was president of the Harvard Law Review, but unlike his predecessors never wrote anything for it. Possibly ONE anonymous article—and possibly not.

He taught at U Ill in Chicago for ten years but never wrote a single scholarly article, the basic requirement for the profession.

He couldn’t be bothered to go to his grandmother’s funeral—the woman who brought him up.

He let Nancy write the Porculus Bill and probably never bothered to read any of it.

What, stick around the White House and WORK? Are you kidding? He’s never done that in his life.

Obama interviewed by feds in Illinois corruption probe

###

Obama, who had no conversations with Blagojevich or anybody associated with him about the seat, was interviewed in his downtown transition office by two assistant U.S. attorneys and two FBI agents, the Obama aide said.

Did Obama go to Chucky Cheezes?

The Illinois investigation is leading straight to the WHite House, and Obama wants it to stay in Illinois.

" Whay happens in Chicago, Stays in Chicago." is the likely pronouncement of our pretend president.

Well We will see how long that lasts.

Maybe Obama will sacrifice "Ram Manual" and them appoint someone who has better "bipartisan" skills.

Galivanting Obama is pursuing a presidential campaign that never ends. Its to maintain the Hope and Change propaganda. Meanwhile back in Washington, his running dogs do the nasty work far from the view of the adulous MSM press. The continuing campaign is to forece acceptance of his agenda on the 48% of American voters who did not vote for him, he wants that portion of the electorate "cowed": 1) defames Rush limbaugh 2) gun control rumblings from BJ Clinton 3) Fairness doctrine from House Rep. Hinchey and wag poofter Jerry brown. 4) Whacks the oil companies with no drilling off shore until "reviewed" 5) Defames bank executives and limits their pay ( not really, they can still be paid with stock). 4) Shuts all Republicans out of the House Senate Conference on the Porkulus Bill ( so no one knows whats in it.)

5) Unilaterally moves the census to the presidential direct executive function in order to reorganize voting districts, ACORN style. etc. The message is quite clear: "You get in the way and we will destroy you." Well at least Rush Limbaugh is not backing down. Thats what this campaign is about, to cow the America which refuses Obamas nationalist socialist policies. Obama is still campaigning. The propaganda flow continues while disasterous decisions are made in Washington. And so far the epublicans are sporadically reactive, rather than understanding the Obama strategy. republicans should be revealinig the signs of the socialization of America, and discussing that in public, regardless of what Obama is doing, or where he is campaigning this week.
