My day with Obama: Basketball, Tea Parties and an otherwise lazy Sunday-Reggie Love+TeaParty protest

EXCERPTS

Pool arrived at Fort McNair at 9:21 a.m. Your pooler did not see the president as he exited. Am told by White House staff that Reggie Love is playing basketball with the POTUS today - that's the only name your pooler has so far. No sign of any NBA all stars this time.

(snip)

Motorcade departed Fort McNair at 11:18 a.m. Arrived at the White House at 11:35 a.m.

As we drove through the National Mall, your pooler could see a crowd of about 100-200 on the Capitol steps to the right and small groups to the left setting up for a lacrosse game on the Mall. Neither appeared to take any notice of the motorcade. Further along Pennsylvania Avenue, Tea Party members lined the road for at least three to four blocks, including at the gates to the grounds, holding signs and yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags. A few hoots and hollers, as well as some waving of hands and flags was observed. Additionally, several in the crowd were observed clapping as the motorcade passed.

Signs observed included "We the people, not we the government," and various reminders that there's an election coming up in November.

I’m pretty sure he has not set foot in a Church since the Tedward Kennedy funeral.

I really thought the same thing, he does not look well whatsoever. Gaunt or something...

AIDS? I was in high school in SF when the first round of that plague wiped out basically the entire population of gay men.

” Reggie Love is playing basketball with the POTUS today..”

Is that the euphemism for it, now ?
If a heterosexual Republican president had his female lover on the official White House payroll
at $ 102,000/yr
with the title of “ Special Assistant and Personal Aide “ the media would first smirk and then immediately expose the relationship.
Reggie and Barry have been together for years-
only now the taxpayers get to pay Reggie 100 grand to service Barry.
During the campaign, Barry started the day with Reggie and not Michelle.
Via the New York Times :
“ They end the day more than 15 hours later,
often unwinding before bed
by watching ESPN’s “SportsCenter” or that night’s big game.
(Mr. Obama sometimes flosses his teeth to ESPN while lying down.)

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/27/us/politics/27reggie.html

Reggie has “ spent almost every hour of every day with the presumptive Democratic nominee for the last 15 months. “
“ He makes sure Obama gets up on time in the morning,
gets in the shower
and has breakfast.”

Gets in the shower ????

Barry told Diane Sawyer that Reggie Love
is “ with me all the time .”
The revealing Diane Sawyer interview with two obviously smitten men:

With not a single word about Michelle.

I think antidepressants tend to cause weight gain, at least from the anecdotal comments I’ve heard from people. For some reason, I can’t imagine B.O. getting depressed, as depression is sort of an “anger turned inward.” I think he thinks that the reason for his nosediving polls is because people don’t understand his message. I can’t imagine him blaming himself for anything.
