#4 funny! And they didn't even mention the new ATodd bomb that is about to drop.

I saw the Greta interveiw last night. The guy works on the North Face in temperatures that Satan would freeze in. Greta asked him how he stayed warm and he talked about how it wasn't so bad, you just need the "right equipment" or somesuch nonsense. When Greta spoke for the listening audience when she said something to the effect that you can only bundle up so much I'm sure everyone in America was thinking that it helps to have such a hot wife to go home to. The guy won a 2000 mile snow machine race for heavensake!! Like with a broken arm or something and yet he just seemed like an all around normal guy.

sigh. Poor Obama. It's over.

My favorite part of that interview was when she asked him if he'd ever been in DC and what he thought of it. 2 times and it was really historical. Then she asked if he'd been past 1 Observatory Circle, coyly noting it's the vice presidential residence.

His response was that they dined at the White House in Feb 07 but he wasn't sure if they'd passed the VP house on the way ... They'd just finished talking about modifications on his current snowmachine and there he was, in the same jeans and fleece jacket, matter of factly noting he'd dined with the President a little over a year ago. Heh.

#8 Yup. And I loved his answer when asked what his job is like. He noted that he appreciated the chance to work at a job that supported his family well. He also noted several times that his kids have grown up being used to his one week home - one week away on the North Slope schedule. I.e. having Mom in politics / campaigning isn't something new and traumatic, their family adjusts to either parent being the one away for a while. I don't know about other women, but IMO this is what feminism was supposed to be about - a marriage of equal partners who have different strengths and who support one another and their kids.

That's just it, lotp. Their marriage highlights the lie that is leftism. So they hate.

BTW, anyone know what movie this was taken from?

#11 Obama's message is much more compelling in the original German. No wonder he's so popular in Berlin.

#12 oddly enough, Hitler really was a community organizer and he wrote two books, one of which was mostly bio and the other was about 10$ bio, 90% 'policy'

#13 Der Untergang (Downfall), made in 2004.

Allmovie entry here.

IMDB entry here.

Another creative use of the same sequence here. (Hitler was a Dallas Cowboys fan? Who knew?)

#14 Obama and his team have nothing that connects with the common American. That alone will cause major problems. The fact that Obama and his team come off as elitist and snobbish will doom them.

Todd married a pit bull hockey mom. Barak just married a (fill in the blank to your own tastes)
