This, from the president's chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Scott Johnson goes to town, in response.
Rocco Landesman, the NEA chairman, said, in part:
This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.
Sadly this guy is achieving far more than Grant, maybe even more than Washington, if we don't wake up. Acorn is being back door funded, so we have probable had our last honest election.
Projectile vomit alert.
Its a ridiculous analogy. Did Caesar even write? Just another example how they’re trying to cannonize Obama.

No.
He’s the greatest writer since Frank Buck wrote “Bring Them Back Alive” from a barge moored in New Jersey.
Bill “the bomber” Ayers may take issue with this article.
Huh? Four hundred? More than one a day? Really? Wow. Democrat presidents are like super-heroes.
Hey, I thought Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar.

And this is based on one book he didn’t write? What other “powerful” things has he written?
“I came, I saw, I played golf”
Yes, he wrote about his conquest of Gaul [France].
These people are sick in the head....

Looks great potlatch
Thanks devolve. Saw the thread and just had to hurry and post that. Looks like I stopped another thread.......

It happens
Sometimes I check “views” before and after posting a graphic
Then check “views” again
One thread had 1900 views at 105 comments
I checked again several hours later when only at 108 comments (one of those being my “views/comments” post)
At 108 posts - only 3 more comments - the views had jumped to 200 plus views
Now why were there so many new views - over 200 views - yet only 2 more posts that were not mine?
- I am thinking (that possibly) many viewers had emailed links to that thread to others
Or another newsite linked the thread there to direct people to it
Is a puzzlement
LOL, we’ve talked about VIEWS before. I bumped your post about 1900 views yesterday.
I was gone shopping all afternoon yesterday. When I finally unloaded and sat down at the computer I saw that you had pinged. Think I quickly looked at Drudge and email before attempting to reply and when I tried to come back here - Free Republic was down, and stayed down for a long time.
I saw a lot of posts on FR2Yahoo and from what they said, it had been down awhile already. Since I leave my computer on, it’s possible that I actually was seeing a cached page when I first looked. Hope that’s understandable, lol.
Maybe when it came back up, there were a lot of people just checking out threads?? I click on a lot of threads, skim the article and then go on to another thread.

I recall FR being offline
I could get on FR at times - but not get to threads or post
After awhile it cleared up fast
Over the weekend a big Hilton van knocked out three (3) transformers and lines were hanging in a busy street
Phones, electric power, internet access went out completely - When new transformers were finally installed and lines repaired - phones went on (sorta), power was restored but memory and connection speed was not right - that seems to be getting better
Somehow it (also) affected the settings on MSN and everything is reading hour later on one TV than on the other - ??? - checked and reset area codes - still weird on the (clock) codes I use and on onscreen schedules
I’ll have to call MSN Tech tomorrow
Funny about what happened to you. A similar thing happened here awhile back but the cable company was able to fix it in a few hours.
Cable has been on and off a few times recently and yesterday I discovered that the time on my computer is suddenly two minutes ahead of my atomic clock + another clock here!
Computers keep the time correct and even reset when the time change comes so I don't know what happened.
Guess you had a boring time!!
