Obama's approval rating is intersting because the recent uptick is undoubtedly due to the perception of him acting on issues after multiple years of inaction from Congress, but action also creates division. If you do things, some people will not like those things. He'll need to continue acting while walking the line of not acting too much to sustain those numbers.

Maybe I'm just being too cynical, but the thought occurred to me this morning that some of the stuff that the President has been proposing lately as red blue meat to moderate-progressives is exactly because an opposition-controlled Congress will never act on it.

Holy hell, everyone watch the video in this article. They spend 2 minutes talking about how important the educational history DVD series is, and how they got great animators and historians to make it for them. Then they play a clip, and it's horrible. Not that you'd expect anything different, of course, but it's astonishingly bad.

edit: I also really want to know what's going on behind the camera at 4:15 when the guy suddenly looks very afraid when looking toward the producers.

The video was published two years ago, and has only been viewed 449 times. Wow, good market reach you guys have there.

After watching his declaration today I cant help but agree that Cruz sour-babby face is going to hurt him. When was trying to bask in the applause and make his Bellamy salutes to the crowd, he looked like he was wincing. I don't think his eyes and cheek muscles can work together to display a proper human smile. Even McCain could muster a convincing grin through his war-ravaged face. Its going to be a long campaign for Ted looking like petulant as punctuation for everything he does.

Every time I see Cruz, I think of Pierrot.

If I recall correctly, I think the Clintons were the last first family to be given secret service protection for life, whereas all after are given 10 years (plus more if the service decides it is necessary).

Bill Clinton signed a law giving future presidents only 10 years of Secret Service protection, then Obama signed a repeal in 2013, restoring the life-long protection practice.

So you're assuming he was gay because he had long hair too?

In the same WP article:

quote:

The boy few at Cranbrook knew or remember was born in Chicago, grew up in South Bend, Ind., and had a hard time fitting in. He liked to wander and “had a glorious sense of the absurd,” according to his sister Betsy. When the chance to get out of Indiana presented itself, he jumped at it and enrolled at Cranbrook. He never uttered a word about Mitt Romney or the haircut incident to his sisters. After Cranbrook asked him to leave, he finished high school, attended the University of the Seven Seas for two semesters, then graduated in 1970 from Vanderbilt, where he majored in English.

He came out as gay to his family and close friends and led a vagabond life, taking dressage lessons in England and touring with the Royal Lipizzaner Stallion riders.

Emphasis mine.

Lemon. Today, we live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world but that reality means very little for most of us because almost all of that wealth is owned and controlled by a tiny handful of individuals. In America we now have more income and wealth inequality than any other major country on earth, and the gap between the very rich and everyone is wider than at any time since the 1920s. The issue of wealth and income inequality is the great moral issue of our time, it is the great economic issue of our time and it is the great political issue of our time. And we will address it.

Wet. Let me be very clear. There is something profoundly wrong when the top one-tenth of 1 percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent, and when 99 percent of all new income goes to the top 1 percent. There is something profoundly wrong when, in recent years, we have seen a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires at the same time as millions of Americans work longer hours for lower wages and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. There is something profoundly wrong when one family owns more wealth than the bottom 130 million Americans. This grotesque level of inequality is immoral. It is bad economics. It is unsustainable. This type of rigged economy is not what America is supposed to be about. This has got to change and, as your president, together we will change it.

Good. But it is not just income and wealth inequality. It is the tragic reality that for the last 40 years the great middle class of our country – once the envy of the world – has been disappearing. Despite exploding technology and increased worker productivity, median family income is almost $5,000 less than it was in 1999. In Vermont and throughout this country it is not uncommon for people to be working two or three jobs just to cobble together enough income to survive on and some health care benefits.
