Obama hits road to restore ratings
Financial Times ^ | July 25, 2010 | Edward Luce

Barack Obama, US president, takes to the road this week on his "summer of recovery" drive amid concern that the White House has lost the political narrative over its handling of the economy, in spite of having taken strong steps to bring it back from the brink.

He’s so smart, he doesn’t realize that if he was doing good, he wouldn’t have to advertise it/sarc

When has this president NOT been “hitting the road”? Has he ever spent a full week in Washington working at his desk in the Oval Office? I doubt it.

Did mojitojoe settle your skepticism about whether or not Zero is a queer?

“Driveby poster.”

Did you address this to me? It appears so.

Usually I do hang out on threads I post — this time I posted the article and had something else to do, and returned now to check.

I do not deserve the term “drive-by poster”, which I think is really applied not to people who post and don’t hang out on their threads, but more to posters who post something CONTROVERSIAL, then disappear.

I wouldn’t think this article should be controversial on FR.

PS. I am generous and will accept your apology. ;)

Kagan is openly living with a female partner and they are not “just friends”. I think her partner admitted the kind of partnership it is.

We think gay-face (or gayface, depending on how you spell it), is nature’s way of warning observant women so that they don’t become Katie Holmes or Kelly Preston. We don’t think there’s a lesbian equivalent of this, but then again, we don’t know of many lesbians who try to trick straight men into marrying them, or who go around town with straight men pretending these are their boyfriends. In our experience, only gay men use beards, and we’re not talking the kind that qualify you for discounts at Touche or other leather bars.
Gay-face, we believe, is a guy’s soul betraying him through his eyes, mainly. He’s working so hard to fool the world, and in many cases is trying to keep his voice low in register, his hands from flipping about when he talks, all the while stifling the FABULOUSSSSSSS! that’s just bursting inside him, desperate to come out.
Gay-face is so obvious to all of us, and to other gay guys in Boystown, that it’s second-nature to spot it.

Rahm Emanuel has serious gay-face. So does the current “president”.
Some women, of course, choose to ignore the Gay-Face and marry these guys anyway (usually because they get some sort of a big pay day out of it, like becoming the First Lady of Florida…or the United States).

The admin mod deleted them all for some reason. It’s not like any of those haven’t been posted here tons of times. I’m getting over this crap real fast.

I wonder who would want to embrace the false Santa who wants to steal more "Obama stash"?

WMR was told by sources who are familiar with the bath house that it provides one-year “lifetime” memberships to paying customers

My comment referenced your excerpt which was 263 words short of the 300 words we are allowed when excerpting (except AP which is undefined, I try and stay around 100 or so).

No telling why. Sometime the mods act as if they support him.

How can I doubt the obvious? It was all those photos with the limp wrist that did it.

Yuck! I feel like I need a shower and a lobotomy after reading that stuff. It certainly makes one wonder why the media has never touched these rather convincing rumors...but didn’t have any problem making stuff up out of whole cloth about Palin. I guess we know why.

BTW...I always figured Fitzgerald was corrupt. That is the only explanation for some of the things he has done.

“Seriously? A partner? Have you looked at her?”

Being ugly never hurt Rosie O’ Donnell in the lesbian community. Besides, maybe her partner is as ugly as she is. Umlike the porno stereotype “hot lesbian”, most are pretty skanky.
