“From the great Carol Burnett Show...”

Oh, I never stopped missing that show - I could use it right now.

RIP Harvey.

Didn't Larry Sinclair say Obama loved to be at the head of the train?

In the heyday of train travel, the private cars were always placed at the back of the train. The further back you were, the better, since that means fewer people will go through your car to get to theirs. Of course, the best place to be is the last car on the train.

It's all symbolism. Get used to 4 years of it.

Indeed, but at some point mere symbolism has got to wear thin. We face real problems and sooner or later this guy's essential emptiness is going to be indisputable (excepting, of course the Left and the media). Also, after Tuesday there's no more Bush. BDS will no longer blind people's judgment. Bush fatigue was the O-man's biggest advantage. When that advantage disappears a lot of people are going to see things differently.

Thank you and yes I knew that.

In fact politicians used to campaign from trains, and they always had the last car.

It had a platform on the back for them to stand as they pulled away and waved to their subjects....er...the citizens.

Isn't it ironic though that Parks struggled to get to the front of the bus, and Present Obama is at the back of the train which is the most prestigious area.

And 80% of the idiots who voted for him.

All we need is that 20% to come to their senses and our side would be back in the majority. I really do think Barry's going to wear out his welcome sooner than we think.

I got that from watching Wild Wild West reruns on TV Land. Also on airplanes, the better seats are closer to the front.

This pix shows how much better the seats are in the front.

Oh BTW, my favorite Western Movie is “Once Upon A Time In The West.”

I'm already sick of him.

I think he loves the spotlight.
