Need we continue? It is self-evident, is it not? What a freakin' idiot author at the PI.
It's no rumor. He said in interviews that they don't give the kids Christmas presents, that the Obamas choose ONE GIFT for the whole family (more of the I WON philosophy Obama espouses).
I don’t buy the dog stuff. Has anyone seen the dog since the photo op? And remember, lieing to infidels is approved in Islam.
The family has a dog, but I've never seen a photo of Zero touching the dog. For that matter, I haven't seen many pictures of the family with Beau, except when they first got him. During the Bush and Clinton years, there were lots of pictures of the Presidents and their families with various pets. Dogs traveled on airplanes and helicopters, visited Camp David, romped on the White House lawn, rode in the truck at the ranch, etc. There were cats too, and the Kennedy kids' pony.
This is the Seattle PI, which isn’t a newspaper anymore. It’s now, basically, a blog. It’s a blog located in the same city as Jim McDermott.
I keep telling people - the most liberal place in the US isn’t MA, and it isn’t even SF. It’s not NYC. It’s not Philly.
The most liberal, the safest place for unhinged liberalism is Seattle, WA. By far.
Mark my words:
Murray will win reelection. Larsen will win reelection. Surely McDermott will win reelection. Baird didn’t have a prayer because he was too far south of Olympia, and far enough north of Portland, OR.
It is the absolute LAST place in the country you’d want to put a business. The governor here LITERALLY left it to the IAW to try and keep Boeing from opening their second 787 line in SC. She didn’t want to get involved, beyond producing a powerpoint lecturing Boeing’s CEO how magnanimous Washington has been toward Boeing.
I’d say that Seattle is literally the only place in the country where a liberal could do literally whatever they wanted in public office and still win reelection. That includes sexual or financial impropriety, felonies, assaults, bribery - you name it.
Where else can you do that anymore? It’s not even possible in Hyannisport.
