OK, so Prozac may not work after all, bad news for some posters on this site. But what about Barack Obama's latest problem, which shared page one of today's Guardian?
At the book club last night where we were grappling with the ambiguities of The Turn of the Screw, as better folk have done before us, an ex-pat American friend was startlingly upbeat.
''Obama's on course,'' he predicted. ''For the Democratic nomination, I think yes,'' I replied. ''Oh no, for the White House,'' my friend countered.
He's older and smarter than me, it's his country too. But I felt moved to point out that, while the senator's progress has been sensational by modern US standards, that he seems to have both brains and grace, there's a long way to go. ''And don't forget, he's black.''

I'm far more interested in what he was doing in Kenya than what he wore while he was there:
The Clintonists have no choice, they have to go all out. Release the photo that will absolutely destroy Obama. This weekend on Sunday, about tea time, they will release the photo of Obama smoking a cigarette back stage in an arena.

Good thing they didn't ask him to wear a flag pin on his lapel. He draws the line at such nonsense.
Turban Gate!
Far out!
Being a Marxist,,,,RED,,,,,is definitely his color!!!
I don’t think this photo means much more than Obama is willing to be a raghead for a day, but doesn’t that mean a little something? Would Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter put on the ragtop? I have a hard time conjuring up an image of Fred or Duncan in this photo. Am I wrong?
Good one!!
