1. On the 'superficial' press: "He'd better get used to it."

Seriously, Jonathan, fuck you.

3. President Obama knows all about the whorepress

from running for Prez and he and his Team are the first ones that I've seen who are actually doing something about them..as in bypassing them to get elected and getting their message out in spite of 24/7 manufacturing and manipulation.

4. I disagree on that view of the press, but I think that their marketplace focus...

disrupts the progressive ethics they developed early in the 20th Century.

2. The Dad driving through the hurricane while the kids are in the back fighting

over something silly. He wants to be the adult!

I really get what he feels about the press being superficial. The rest of the world is catching up with us while we obsess over Palin. I really agree with Obama on that!

[Cha]

5. Imv, the "media" is not only superficial

but propaganda central.

6. That's gonna be a great book.

Is it typical for an administration to average one book per year? If so, should be fun for the next 7 years.

The President has actually gotten me to do the impossible .... something I think he'd be proud of .... he's inspired me to READ. :)
