Time and again I say and Obama comfirms that he is not change, he is business as usual and so many out there won't care because it's just golf, at least with Obama it's just golf. This change is great.

You know, when I read mooning...I was not thinking of this. Blegh, the media will be the media. This really does dampen my prospects on perhaps working/freelancing for them.

The only change you can believe in is the media change from criticizing Bush at every level to the sucking up to Obama on every level. Even Obama joked about it recently at a media dinner, and these same fools in the audience yucked it up as he made fun of their slobbering @ss kissing. How pathetic.

I don't see it as arse kissing, so much as...it's what gets them ratings. I mean come on, a prime example of it is when it comes to hollywood celebrities. (Lindsay lohan, Britney spears, et al.) They thrive/feed off of the...hype.

When Obama jokes about rolling over in bed and Brian Williams is there... well you can get the picture, or choose to ignore it.

I see that more as a rather bad attempt at humor, but then again what do I know right? Not like I'm studying journalism, or at the most of above average intellect, etc. Y'all are always so apocalyptic...geesh, that's a coronary waiting to happen. .

I will admit; however, that I did not get to see that deal in its entirety. (Mind linking?)

You know it would be simple (and truthful) to respond to Daiwa's article with a "yeah, yeah we all know it's happening", or "we've see stuff like this before". But you know what? It does bare mentioning, because 6 months or six years from now some loon is going to deny it ever happened. We can't make it acceptable for any political party to forget their complaints when their guy is in charge. Maybe things won't change much but maybe a few will learn not to throw rocks from their glass houses.

Sure it would, but when is anything simple? When is anything intelligent, or logical? We live in a friggin world that isn't simple, and constantly stupid. You would need more than your hands and feet to count the number of people live in irrationality an/or stupidity. We've got idiots on one side claiming one thing, and idiots on the the other said claiming something else. (I'm not only talking about the politicians)

So yeah, it would be simpler, but when is the world ever simple? Or honest? Or driven by accountability?

About Obama's "jokes', I'm sorry guys, but as a comedian, Obama is a really good fly killer. The guys jokes were so badly presented that it was funny to see how unfunny his jokes were. He should definitely stick to his teleprompter.

You know whats really funny, half the time the ididots on each side are actually in agreement but continue to argue as if they are debating different points of view. Kinda like one side saying liberty and the other saying freedom. They both almost literally want the same thing yet they fight as if one thinks the other wants slavery.

In my opinion, it's a funny that is borderline pathetic. I mean really, come on. The little letter next to the name doesn't really mean much difference, so why the bs?

Yeah, he isn't that great.

You gotta admit, Bush did much better delivering jokes. Not that his face and that up and down motion of his head when ever he tried to be funny didn't help.

Yea, I don't see much point in that anymore either. There are times you are reading a story on the news and can't help but this "he/she's gotta be a republican/democrat" only to find out the are from the opposite party. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between doing what they believe in vs doing whats best for them, because in most cases these are not the same thing.

Mhmm, he was definitely better at telling and being a joke.

Indeed; it's times like that I really wish we had statesmen, not politicians.
