Quote of the Day
President Obama was asked last night on why it took a few days to comment on the AIG bonuses.
Well, it took us a couple of days because I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak.
– President Obama
He shoots, he scores.

Cat harsis….catharsis….Yeah, that’s it – catharsis. Elections do matter.
I loved that line.
The press is a complete mess. They keep contradicting themselves – Why hasn’t Obama addressed this followed by Is Obama addressing too much.
And Chuck Todd gets the dumbest question award. I like Chuck, but what was he thinking?
Chuck was thinking of a self-fulfilling prophecy…

A likely response from a prior President would have been, “I spoke with the Lord on this matter, and Cheney didn’t get back to me right away.”
VC, thanks for the linky where I found this great comment that I had to share:
. . .the great sacrifice by the wealthy of putting off their purchases of Sub-Zero refrigerators has diminished the supply of appliance boxes for housing.

No probs, Rebecca!
After hearing some of Todd’s questions over the past couple months, I starting to believe that he should’ve stuck with election forecasting.
It has been painful to watch Todd turning into a caterpillar from a butterfly but I guess that’s what it takes to keep those GE paychecks coming.
Watching Chuck Todd as a WH reporter has been really painful. He just assimilated with the Villagers way too easily. And he was so good with those numbers — it was refreshing to listen to someone who understood how those numbers live.
But I think that reporter who asked that question of Obama will be looking for his ass for a long time.
I thought the questions were pretty dumb, but I thought the race question was the dumbest one. It wasn’t even really a question.
On the other hand, the reporters asked such dumb questions it was good to see Obama take them to school.
It would have been much better if Obama and Biden did The Amazing Carnac routine.
(Obama holds an envelope to his head)
OBAMA: Drowning, Numbers, Man with Two First Names.
(Biden chuckles as Obama rips open the envelope and reads the answer)
OBAMA: Who is Chuck Todd?
