Elephant Stone (65d289) — 8/21/2012 @ 9:13 pmHa. That’s pretty great.
With Obama’s spitefulness, I bet that got his goat to.
On the Ryan pick, this article by Fred Barnes is essential reading:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443989204577601254048147454.html?mod=rss_opinion_main
Ryan was my first, first pick; and then I talked myself out of it, and thought Jindahl should be it.
But no, Romney seems great at spotting talent. The thing is, Romney and Ryan are just a good team — they clearly respect each other and it shows. Ryan inspires Romney, and Romney is a hella-focused, disciplined guy. More than that, as Barnes gets into, Ryan psyches the hell out of Obama.
Plus adding Ryan did indeed shift the debate into one of seriousness and not just, “I’m better than you.” Now it’s about ideas the country cares about.
Fact is, my and your feelings to the contrary aside, the country doesn’t mind Obama’s personality … and they don’t love Romney’s. But man do they want this problem fixed, and Ryan has a plan and Romney has a track record of turnarounds.
Great choice.

Alasdair (2cd241) — 8/22/2012 @ 12:21 amI’ve never held any truck with any of Obama’s policies, nor respected him as a plausible candidate for the presidency. But for quite a while, I was in the “he’s likable enough” crowd with respect to Obama. Somewhere during the course of the 2008 election, that changed. Now I don’t just find his policies bad, I also find him personally annoying too. He grates.
For that reason, oddly, the photo which is the subject of this post is sort of calming for me to gaze upon. I think I’m going to save this photo to my computer desktop, and whenever I find myself taking this campaign in too bitterly personal a fashion, I will meditate a while on this photo.

Bugg (403960) — 8/23/2012 @ 6:27 amThis is what happens when his teleprompter is *not* in front of his face:
President Obama joined a group of former NBA stars at a fundraiser at New York’s Lincoln Center Wednesday night. With Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley and other basketball legends sitting nearby — “It’s very rare that I come to an event where I’m like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person,” Obama said — the president made a few obligatory remarks about opponent Mitt Romney’s tax and economic plans.

Is this the one with the “no snitch” guy? Irony, if so.
nk (875f57) — 8/23/2012 @ 7:05 amThe President’s speaking capabilities were finally operational Tuesday, as his teleprompter was restored to service just in time for a fundraiser.

Icy (9bbab7) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:33 amOne hundred years from now, the Presidential historians will rate Barack Obama as head and shoulders below the rest.

“Re-elect me my head is full of great ideas for America”
The POTUS was left speechless mid-sentence today after someone tripped over an extension cord unplugging the teleprompter.

kaf (81bcc7) — 8/25/2012 @ 3:23 amMany young people perceive President Obama to be their generation’s JFK; young, cool, and hip. However, it’s these veritable moments in front of a microphone and teleprompter when he loses his head, revealing that he’s really just a square.
Elephant Stone (65d289) — 8/25/2012 @ 8:10 pmPolitical observers were eager to see just how President Obama’s re-election campaign would take shape. After various triangulations and circular logic, the President’s partisan allies at The Pentagon presented him with a viable option for replacing Vice President Joe Biden with a VP candidate who would color inside the lines, and was known to have a much more linear appearance about him. This candidate was someone who would be animated on the campaign trail in order to appeal to much younger voters; Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Elephant Stone (65d289) — 8/25/2012 @ 8:26 pmWhile Ronald Reagan was known for making the jump immediately from television into politics, Barack Obama sought to reverse that career move when he began campaigning earnestly to become a panelist on TV’s Hollywood Squares following his re-election defeat. Republican commentators pointed out that while Hollywood Squares has an archive of amusing moments involving such absurdists as Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly, the President was uniquely prepared having served alongside Joe Biden and Harry Reid.
