Obama is a great public speaker. Usually.
Barack Obama is the man, there is no question about it. I'm not talking about his political points, his agendas, or even his ideology. What I love about Barack Obama is that he conveys intelligence, clairvoyance, and strength as a leader. That last guy... what was his name again? Oh yeah... Bush.
Well, it turns out even a guy as polished as Barack Obama has a few Bushisms to let loose and wreak havoc upon the general public with. Watch this clip from the Daily Show...

The young girl in the audience raised an excellent point, except I would have modified the question slightly, to 'how can "ANYONE" [not just kids] know what to believe', since it seems quite obvious that Fox News and the Republican Neocons have been successfully parading the ignorant into debates that are chalk-full of blatant misinformation and propaganda -- perfectly OK, according to them, as long as it's in the name of politics. Le sigh. :|

New Rule: President Obama must give up that awful habit that sets such a bad example for young people. I'm talking, of course ... about golf.
Golf, if you're not familiar, is a pastime where you basically walk outdoors with a bag, muttering and cursing. It's like being homeless in loud pants. Anyway, Time magazine is reporting that since he became president, Barack Obama has taken up golf with a passion, playing almost every weekend for the past few months -- and I feel betrayed. He campaigned as a basketball player. It said to us, "I'm urban and athletic and hip and a team player." Golf says, "I like Lipitor and white collar crime." And it's not just golf -- he's been purposefully eating a lot of hamburgers in public lately, to prove he loves meat. And he said that, unlike before he became president, he prays all the time now and that his Faith and Neighbor Initiatives Director sends him scripture on his Blackberry to start every day. Jesus, is there something about that house that turns people into assholes?
