Good to see Obama is so focused on the oil spill, border security, Afghanistan, and jobs.

In a sane world, every news channel would have a live feed of the gushing oil well in the bottom corner of the screen everytime this guy appears on TV.

Pressers, State Dinners, diplomatic visits, foreign trips, commencement speeches. Everything.

I know, dream on////

Why? There’s no reason for this other than to throw a celebrity party and get his mug in PEOPLE.

Global economic meltdown, war in the far east, a national/regional disaster that Katrina pales beside, and “What, Me Worry?” Obama wants to hear `Band On the Run.’

All I have to say is that I never was a Beatles fan — too much either “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” or “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” George Harrison was my style.
