Barack Obama apparently would rather eat his waffles than answer questions from the traveling press corps: As Sen. Hillary Clinton was preparing to campaign here today, Sen. Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry. “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner. Well. I guess he told that reporter. Didn’t he? But at what cost? Sphere: Related Content
Foreign Policy
Confused and Clueless
During today’s hearing with General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, Senator John McCain questioned Petraeus on “what he called “the major threat” of al Qaeda in Iraq.” Once again McCain seemed confused and clueless about al Qaeda. Watch it here: Word has it McCain also has quite a temper, something the public has little clue about. People contemplating voting for John McCain really need to ask themselves, do I really want this man to be our next president? I know...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Today, was a miserable day. Sure, it was a beautiful sunny day. But, noticing that we have passed a casualty milestone in Iraq and hearing how cold-hearted the Vice-President was, in response to that milestone, broke my heart. Every day, I hope that my soldier will not become part of that milestone, yet, the current White House administration acts like, “it’s business, as usual”; not a big deal. So, it’s only fitting that I re-post the following video, because...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
We got snow for Easter, in my neck of the woods. As the snow began to melt, today, I could see the first signs of Spring, sprouting up out of the brown ground; the first sprigs of green grass. I think we are going to need another decent snowstorm, to saturate the ground, to boost the colors of Spring; something I am looking forward to, along with the 60-plus degree temperatures. It’s Monday, so ya’ll know what that means:...
Nancy Pelosi Speaks Out on Tibet, Bush Silent
I’ve been watching the situation in Tibet unfold in recent days but have not found the time to write about. China has been censoringthe news coming out of Tibet on the protests there and have sent in the military to crackdown. FreeTibet.org has a wealth of photos, news links and videos that have made it through the Great Firewall. On Friday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, leading a delegation of members of Congress, met with the Dalai Lama in...
Clinton, Once Again, Gets Biggest Northern Ireland Validation of All
Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume, speaking on a nationally syndicated radio show yesterday, talked about Sen. Clinton’s work in Northern Ireland–her “people-to-people approach, her generous use of time in meeting with the various sectors of the region, her interest in the real concerns and needs of the people of Ireland, and her focus on peace.” He also talked about Clinton’s contributions through her lecturing at the University of Ulster’s Tip O’Neill Chair of Peace Studies on the subject...
I Guess I’m Just Sick Of It
After more decades fighting in the political trenches than I care to admit, I’ve come to some state of political fatigue that I’ve only felt once before in all those decades: after the assassination of RKF. Even the ‘typical white person‘ remark doesn’t get me riled or writing. It’s all just too damn much. I have the text of Obama’s speech, done an extensive analysis and haven’t been able to write one gawddamn word. [If it's read, rather than...
