While I’m at it, about Obamer and that dog joke at the WH Correspondents’ dinner....

...it wasn’t funny.

I know Obamer thinks we are a bunch of rubes, lacking the cosmopolite experience to appreciate other cultures, culture that eat dogs. Surely we don’t get out enough.

When that line was put in Obamer’s book, I can almost see him, sloping against a door jamb, a lit cigarette hanging from between two fingers, eyes half-closed, hooded.

He was so cool it was like air conditioning standing next to him as he told about eating dog along with other foods he consumed in his worldly life that us dopey Americans in flyover country can’t possibly grasp.

I don’t want a president who was once so cool he ate dogs. Yeah I know he ate that first dog at age 6 but never is it mentioned when he STOPPED eating dog.

I’m not impressed by his coolness and I don’t think that him being so cool as to make a joke about such a think makes him wonderful either.

I’m jus’ sayin’.

Yeah, I agree 100%. I was actually wondering if the locals were hiding their dogs when they knew Obama was coming to town. Although, over there, they might only hide them because they don’t want to share. JK:) I think

Will the role of Homeland Security and the fate of the TSA also be discussed among the ‘internationals’ in the upcoming Chicago meeting I have now just been made aware of?

Re: “Surprise Visit”

It was much cooler when Bush and Rummie did it.

As long as it’s a free flight on Air Force one, the idiot will fly anywhere.

The crew must work 24/7 to keep the thing in the air.

I’m surprised Obama has not yet replaced the Boeing 747 Air Force One jets with Air Buses.

His dissociative disorder gets more critical by the day.

I was almost asleep with my eyes shut listening and heard him say “Chicago” and I sat up to see if he was off teleprompter and mis-spoke.

Is he really in Afghanistan? The video I just saw looked like he was standing in front of a green-screen with Army trucks in the background. I don't know if this will show up but this photo is interesting:

The tweet: View of the president's speech for the press pool with him at Bagram Air Field. He's speaking to voters at home, not us

That Karzai is one snappy dresser!

Wonder if Obama has given Karzai an annual stipend to keep the look going on? That is separate with other money he probably gave him.

Karzai and his country are welfare recipients.

It helps to remember that the Clinton-Bush coziness goes back to the days of Iran-Contra, when Papa Bush was supervising covert arms shipments to Latin America out of Arkansas (with drugs making the return trip) and Governor Clinton was busy looking the other way. Further, as was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.

Wasn’t the speech for 7:30 CT? CBS hasn’t interrupted programming.

The text of his speech is online, FYI

Bush was way cooler than “the Obama” could ever be.
Every day and two times on Sunday.

1942 brave American men and women have fallen in Afghanistan....

since Obama took out Bin Laden

33 have fallen just this month.

What's this lifting the "Cloud of War" is Obama talking about.
