I was very happy about things were going with Obama's visit, scheduled for tomorrow. Not only did I get a press pass, but I lucked into a ticket as well. I intended to take my ten-year old grandson, an honest-to-goodness Obamaphile, to see the President. But late this afternoon, I wrenched my lower back, something that happens to me periodically. So instead of seeing Obama, I'll be souped up on Diazepam for the next few days and my grandson will spend Friday in school. On the bright side, I'll be in a great mood.
I've sent my regrets to Press Lead Aimee Dewing, who was kind enough to extend credentials for this visit. I apologize to my readers as well.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Sorry you're laid up Bernie, hope for a quick recovery.

I'm too old and too fat. I'd go if I could have three days.
ReplyDeletehope u are better soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for your grandson.
ReplyDeleteTinkerbell, I still made your copies :-).
ReplyDeleteLighthouse,
ReplyDeleteIf Obama does nothing else, he empowered a lot of people who felt they were left out. My grandson, like Obama, is half black. His election really meant something to him. He braved the cold weather to see Obama get inaugurated, even though he could not really see over the heads of most of the people there. I really lucked out and everything fell into place, but I'll be moving very slowly the next few days. On the bright side, he'll be playing basketball tomorrow night.
Sorry to hear you're held up. Back pain is impossible. Do you remember when readers said the
ReplyDeleteBilly Joel song will surely come up today. Well, so far, after a 1 minute glance at the Call, the front page contains at least two
mentions. Since you need to be home today, why not host a contest.
"How many times in one day does this song appear in media."
Prize: Lunch with you.
Um, yeah.
ReplyDeleteObama has done nothing except make some people feel more empowered.
So what has Obama feel-good stuff done to the country?
- Out of of control government spending
- Polarized population to say the least
- Obama's TAX BILL has NOT YET arrived, that will be interesting
- We won't even go into ramifications from his joke of a foreign policy
Glad everyone is feeling good and empowered.
How is that Hope and Change working out for YOU?
I thought Obama promised a spirit of bipartisanship and unity?
He has done plenty of trash talking all by himself and there can be no denying that.
Obama is a dangerous fraud.

PS -
ReplyDeleteYou aren't missing anything O'Boring has babbled about in any other of his 47,329 speeches he has given the past six months.
Again, the I-Pig is doing nothing but personal attacks, where is the Ohare promised deletions?
