Fall River Dreams
The 33-year-old's hopes of returning to the NBA or playing pro basketball anywhere in world are now basically dead. With his Massachusetts driver's license expected to be suspended soon, the Fall River hoop legend had to give up his job repossessing cars recently and is seeking employment in tough economic times. And the ex-Celtics point guard also has a wife and three kids to support.
But considering the long fight that a now-sober Chris Herren is winning over alcohol and drugs, his current issues are far from the end of the world.

Get This Man A Medal
Now what does Chinas Sully Sullenberger get in return? Does he get a thank you for unclogging traffic and allowing people to go on living their lives? No, he gets thrown in a Chinese prison where he's probably being tortured Jack Bauer style as we speak.
Empathy At Work
• Lacking basic skills.
• Pregnant or parenting.
• School dropout.
• Homeless or runaway.
• Court-involved or an “offender.”
• An English as a Second Language learner or an immigrant.
Criminal offenders, teen moms, dropouts, runaways and other wayward youths will score summer jobs with federal stimulus cash as most Bay State kids desperately scramble to land coveted seasonal gigs in a tight economy.
“To me, it sounds like the federal government is rewarding bad behavior,” said state Sen. Richard R. Tisei (R-Wakefield).
Listen kid, I know you got straight A's this year and busted your ass doing it. You must not have been paying attention on November 4th though. Working hard is so Old America. Next year rob somebody, drop out of school, and knock up some chick. Oh, and have zero discernable skills. Then maybe I can find a job for you.
Miss Conservative of the Week
She has recently announced her bid to run for Governor of South Carolina. Your Miss Conservative of the Week is Nikki Haley.
Who is your favorite politician (past or present)?
I’m sure I’m supposed to name an American figure here, but whenever Iget asked this question my mind immediately jumps to Margaret Thatcher. Conservative to the bone, incredibly strong, honest and direct, LadyThatcher rose to the pinnacle of political power by being true to theprinciples she believed and outworking everyone else. There’s just somuch to admire – and emulate – in her story.
What issue is most important to you?
As a small businesswoman and accountant by trade – my first job waskeeping the books for our family business when I was 13 – the focus hasto be on spending. One of the things that defines me is I am someone whohas always appreciated and understood the value of a dollar, and that’ssomething all too often lacking in our political leaders. The fact is thatgovernment does a terrible job of taking care of taxpayer money, and as aresult does a terrible job of protecting the wallets of the people and thebottom lines of businesses. Far too many politicians don’t see spendingtax dollars as real money, they don’t understand that when they fund thisor that unnecessary or ineffective program or push us further and furtherinto debt they are doing great damage to the people they have sworn torepresent. Government has to spend less, we have to spend what we do morewisely, and until we do we’re failing to fulfill the most importantresponsibility entrusted to us.
Why did you decide to run for governor?
The most important thing to me is that people understand the power of theirvoice. Politicians work for you – not the other way around. We havegreat challenges in South Carolina but also tremendous opportunities, and Ibelieve with everything I have that the key to tapping into our potentialis bringing good government back to the people. We need to be more openand honest with the way we conduct our business. We need to be betterkeepers of taxpayer dollars. We need to take better care of our smallbusinesses. We need an education system focused on actually improving ourworst in the nation schools and not just throwing money at them. Thebottom line is I know what good government looks like – I’m running forgovernor because I want every South Carolinian to know what it feels like.
Why are you a conservative?
Conservatism has always just made sense to me. Running a small businessyou quickly understand the problems that come with too much governmentintrusion in our lives. Growing up in a small town where everyone tookcare of everyone else, you learn the value of strong families andcommunities. Keeping the books at my parents store from the age of 13drilled into me an appreciation for the value of a dollar. I could go on,but the point is I didn’t come to conservatism in the course of somelarger search for a political philosophy – it’s just the way I’vealways lived my life.
I want to thank Nikki for taking the time to answer these questions. Today, more than ever it seems, we need fiscal conservatives like Nikki Haley in government. For more information on her campaign and how to help you can check out her website NikkiHaley.com

The 2015 Chrysler Obama
The Gas-Powered La-Z-Boy - Watch more Funny Videos
Chrysler today unveiled its newest model, The Obama, which industry insiders say will revolutionize the automobile as we know it, as well as kill 50% of the people who buy it. Those who are lucky enough to survive undoubtedly some of the most horrific accidents known to man will get phenomonal gas mileage, however.
I for one would take this risk in a heartbeat. This might be the greatest invention since SARS. Honestly, where can I buy one of these?

But Sotomayor Was Appointed By Bush 41
John McCormack at the Weekly Standard comes up with the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Sotomayor was nominated as part of a compromise in which Democratic Senator Moynihan was allowed to recommend judges for two of the seven vacancies:
TOTUS on SCOTUS
Fuckity fuck fucksticks.
Not surprising but the early scuttlebutt has it that it's Sonia "Oh I know we're not supposed to make policy and all, but hey, we all do it (giggle giggle tee hee hee)" Sotomayor.
I'm disappointed. Couldn't he have found a dyslexic, mute, trisexual? After all, the role of SCOTUS is to be empathetic, not to follow hundreds of years of legal precedent and our Constitution.
Apparently the Monicas over at MSNweblowBO are calling her a moderate choice. Chuck Todd already had his talking points memorized. He also asked if Republicans wanted to pick this battle with such a growing voting block in the Hispanics. (Hopefully Newsbusters can pick this up later).
But they will attempt to block it because it because Republicans hate Hispanics.
This chick scares the bejesus out of me. She's young and clearly does not have the sharpest legal mind.
Seriously, I hope they have the stones to go after her. After all conservatives are just pitch evil and always resort to the lowest common denominator. I guess we should take a cue from the Dems on how to conduct a confirmation hearing. They are compassionate and they know how to get shit done!
Update: It's a done deal and boy oh boy are they lefties working overtime today to make her feel special and warm!
Yahoo: 'Inspiring' high court pick. Her struggles
Gums McGee Couric: A very, very compelling life story.
CNN: I can't find any links. Her mug takes up my entire page and it's still effing trying to load.
We've only just begun to see the liberal spinmeisters at work. Hearing Todd actually call her a moderate was astounding. How can that even be said with a straight face?

Michelle Obama Is Not Happy
Man Facing Intoxication Charge Shows Up To Court Drunk
PORTSMOUTH — Before he was allowed to plead guilty to a public drinking charge Monday morning, Ross Brown was court-ordered to take a Breathalyzer test. When police determined Brown was intoxicated, he was driven to the police station to sober up in a jail cell, then given a return ride to the court for sentencing.
I've said it time and time again, you can't stop Ross Brown..you can only hope to contain him. If you thought an intoxication charge was going to stop him from showing up to court hammered, you've got the wrong guy. This guy walks out of his house every morning and taps a "play like a champion today" sign, Notre Dame style.
DC Republicans Still Suck
Even veterans of the conservative movement seem to want a piece of the liberal blog action.
Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, said that he’s been approached to write for The Huffington Post and intends to do so in the future. It can be useful, he said, as a way to turn the tables on Democrats who claim the Republicans aren’t offering any alternatives to their policy positions.
So Republicans are now turning to the likes of Arianna Huffington in order to get good press. Are they serious? Do they really think this will make one bit of difference? All it will do is lend credence to these left wing blogs and allow them to become more powerful. These DC insiders are the same idiots that thought it would be a good idea to roll Sarah Palin out by giving interviews with a left wing hack like Katie Couric. Honestly, who do you think Couric voted for? Same with Charlie Gibson. Would Obamas handlers have ever allowed him to give his first interviews to people they know were voting for McCain?
Enough with trying to play by the lefts rules when it comes to the media. The right is not going to get a fair shake. How about giving these interviews and op eds to the top right wing blogs, there by increasing their traffic and power? It's such a common sense idea, it's scary these Republicans haven't though of it.

Common Ground = My Way or the Highway
Let's recap Obama's position thus far:
Then we have the upcoming modification to the longstanding Conscience Clause provisions. For lack of a better phrase, Obama is going to jack those up as well.
- For any entity that receives funds or grants from the Department of Health and Human Services cannot require any individual to perform or assist in a sterilization procedure or abortion if its contrary to his/her religious beliefs or moral convictions.
- Prohibits that entity from discriminating against any doctor or health care personnel in terms of employment, promotion, or termination of employment because they did perform -or- refused to perform abortions.
- Provision three also deals with discrimination in the same vein, but for entitles that specialize in biomedical or behavioral researchers
Personally I don't believe they can constitutionally require anyone to perform the procedure. While "First, do no harm" is not an official tenant to the Hippocratic Oath, many doctors still abide. I can't imagine even a judge in the 9th Circuit requiring any doctor to actually perform a procedure that runs contrary to their beliefs.
That said, the work environment for any such practitioner or employee that refuses to perform an abortion could get very uncomfortable. I see employment discrimination cases rising exponentially if these protectionist provisions lapse. This is Kathleen Sebelius we're talking about here.
The period to comment to the HHS on this proposed regulation ended at the end of April. We're keeping an eye this one.
- Gun control >>>No choice. People with free will kill with guns!
- School choice>>> No choice. Homeschoolers are freaks. Viva la NEA!
- Curbing taxes and spending>>>No choice . We have shared responsibilities.
- Health care>>> No choice. We need the Swedish model!
- Free speech>>>>No choice. We need speech that is polite and nurturing.
*************************************************************************************
And back to where we started--where exactly is his "common ground" when it comes to Obama and abortion? A tad to the right of NARAL? I don't think it's the "common ground" with Obama. I think it's the "lowest common denominator".

Democrats father calls 911 on him...because he has a messy room
Andrew Mizsak called authorities Thursday after his 28-year-old son threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and made a fist at him.
His son, also named Andrew, lives with his parents and has a room in the basement.
The father declined to press charges and told police he doesn't want to ruin his son's political career. The younger Mizsak works as a political consultant and is a school board member in Bedford, a Cleveland suburb.
The son says he and his father love each very much and that he's lucky to be living in the house rent free. He also promises to keep his room clean.
By the way, all humiliating experiences will be called a Mizsak on this blog from now on. For example. Man, I'm 28 and my dad just called the cops on me because my room is messy. I'm so Mizsaked.
PS -His Facebook page lists Ted Kennedy as one of his favorite politicians. Talk about a guy who has had a few Mizsaking moments in his life.
PPS- I'm anticipating the release of this 911 call like a kid on Christmas morning.
Is This Guy Serious???
News Flash: Taliban Waterboards Captured U.S. Soldiers--Claims "Not Torture"
Brian Tamanaha
According to reports out of Kabul, the Taliban announced that they have waterboarded three U.S. soldiers taken prisoner. The Taliban commander asserted that waterboarding is not torture and does not violate the Geneva Convention or U.S. law. He assured everyone that a medical officer monitored all waterboarding sessions to insure that no permanent damage was done to the soldiers. In addition, he said they were careful to follow the directions on waterboarding in a SERE training manual they found posted on the internet.
In support of his assertion that waterboarding is not torture, the Taliban commander cited legal analysis produced by the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice. He pointed out that the authors of this legal analysis are a respected federal judge on the second highest court in America and a professor at a top American law school. The Taliban commander also referred to the careful legal analysis of a Distinguished Professor of Law who concluded that waterboarding is not torture because U.S. trainers did it to their own troops "hundreds and hundreds of times."
This is so easy to pick apart I'm going to do it in world record time. This is like the 86 Celtics playing a jr high team. Yes, I just compared my blogging skills to the greatest basketball team to ever lace 'em up. It's a fact.
Now to break down the argument very clearly. While liberals cry about our interrogation techniques and make the case they might be used on Americans and civilians, the Taliban keeps on keepin on. Here, Brian Tamanaha, are real headlines of what the Taliban does.
Taliban Behead Grandmother, Grandson, 7, For Spying For Americans
Polish Engineer Beheaded by Taliban
Pakistan Taliban insurgents release video of 5 beheaded 'spies'
New Taliban Video shows young boy beheading 'American spy'
Headteacher decapitated by Taliban
Waterboarding doesn't look so bad now does it? In fact, if our interrogation techniques lead to the Taliban waterboarding people rather than beheading them, that's a trade off I'm sure the people in the links provided above would've taken. The problem is that the left has no idea what we're dealing with. They need to sit down with a terrorist and have him explain to them exactly what it is that they do, in the same manner as Joe Pescis character in Casino talking to Charlie the Banker. Maybe then they'll have an idea of what we're up against.

Friday not so funnies....
- After all, dead people have been contributing to some political groups more than others for years.
- Dead goldfish get to vote.
- Dead people like to rock the vote from beyond the grave!
- More dead foiks excercising their "right to vote" (I see dead people—Kings County, WA. Home of ACORN fraud But remember, these are isolated incidents.
- Let us not forget the ballot stuffing, mob thuggery and Chicago-style-Daley-dead-votes-count-too!-political-machine in the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon Presidential race.
Gotta keep your constituents happy, right DNC? No bother if they have no pulse. Hey JoeyJoe, give us the 411 on the stimulus website number again?

Why They Attack Carrie and Ignore Barry
I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that's how I was raised, and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman." Carrie Prejean, Beauty Pageant contestant
So why is it controversial for Carrie Prejean to say this, yet there is almost nothing from the media and gay community when Obama says it? This question has confused more people than Joaquin Phoenix. There are a few reasons. The main reason Obama wasn't heavily criticized was they needed him to be elected. The media and the gay community were already in his pocket. They also know that he is a political coward. As soon as Rahm receives an internal poll showing a majority of Americans support gay marriage...Barack will support gay marriage. Remember, when he gave his stance on this issue, he was sitting in a room with 2,500 evangelicals. Barry tells people what they want to hear. He'd piss in your ear and tell you it's raining. Just ask the Armenian community about his stance on Turkey.
The second and main reason why Carrie was attacked is simple. The left does not want to debate. In fact, they are terrified of a real debate on these issues. There is a clear playbook that the left uses when someone dare challenge their beliefs: attack. They will dig through your private life and make you pay for crossing them. This has nothing to do with Carrie Prejean. She just happened to have the guts to say what she believes. They don't attack Carrie because it's personal. They're like Michael Corleone, "it's strictly business." They attack her to send a message to all of you who are reading this right now. Fall in line or you could be the next Carrie. Give the politcally correct answer or your parents divorce records could be on the news.
This isn't an isolated incident. Ask Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli, and Jim Cramer. All of these people have gone through the same thing for daring to question the left in just the past few months. None of them had their actual questions debated...all of them were attacked. The left knows that many people don't have the guts that Carrie Prejean had. Most people sit through classes in college biting their tongue while the professor goes off on a left wing rant. Most people write the answer that the teacher wants just so they can pass the class and move on. And thats all the left wants. They don't care if you actually believe it, just dont criticize it. This is how they get their agenda driven thru. In their view, the less debate the better.

Some Good Reading
Monday, May 11, 2009
Isolation is lonely. Except when its in numbers.
Curiosity got the best of me, so I ran a quick news search on all the ACORN articles that reference the term isolated. Just that term. Nothing on "denial" or "refuted", just isolated. I was curious as that seemed to be their go-term venacular when referring to all the alleged voter registration fraud.
- From ACORN, a mighty GOP fight Politico.com May 9, 2009
- Catholic bishops cut off ACORN funding The Associated Press November 12, 2008
- Hardly historic fraud; Editorials; McCain's warning on ACORN is oberblown; Editorial The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR)
- Accused Registration Group Has No Voter Drives Here; ACORN Engaging in Fraud, Republicans Claim The Washington Post October 18, 2008
- ACORN falls close to chad territory The Australian October 17, 2008
- ACORN sign-ups here seem legitimate; Nearly 40% of vote forms denied, but registrar sees no intentional foul The Houston Chronicle October 16, 2008
- Party is over for ACORN, Democrats Columbia Daily Tribune (Missouri) October 3, 2008
- ACORN feud over suspicious voter cards The Miami Herald September 25, 2008
Eight. Some may say--is that all?! What's the big deal? The big deal is that most media outlets weren't covering this story. Some were even told to "kill the story" (NYT-go figure). How can you allege these are isolated when you continually use that specific term to refute alleged fraud in a new state or city? Apparently they don't understand the meaning of the word. Can we use some of that taxpayer money we're shelling out to get them Hooked-on-Phonics?
Let's put our game-face on with these scumbag lunatics. The new scapegoat in all of this: Republicans. They are just sore losers. Nothing to see here--let's move on! Let's not pay any attention to the fact President Thinned Skinned and the dipshits in Congress have made them eligible for $8 billion more in taxpayer dollars ("B" as in Barry. Or "B" as in barium enema. Actually I think they are one in the same).

He gave them no offer--they still couldn't refuse
Check your kneecaps at the door. Sonny Corleone a/k/a The Obamafather knows he’s got the press in his hip-pocket. So much so that he feels quite comfortable telling the press exactly how they should be doing their job.
During the remarks he gave about his non-budget budget, he demanded this:
It is important, though, for all of you as you're writing up these stories to recognize that $17 billion taken out of our discretionary non-defense budget, as well as portions of our defense budget, are significant -- they mean something.
And if they don’t-- Will they wake up with a horse’s head? Or even worse, will they find their own fate’s similar to Fredo’s? After all, we know full what Rahmbo in all his glooooooorious dancing ways is capable of doing.
If nothing else, this post put me in the mood for some vino. And oranges. Huh.
Update: I'm not sold on the Sonny connection. I'm starting to think he's more of a Fredo, a timid little Nancy-Mary, pansy ass that that without a hint of hesitation would betrays those he owes loyalty. Sonny has too much of a temper. While this is all true, take away his script and he's easily flustered like Sonny. Plus he thinks there are 57 states, so....Perhaps he's a hybrid of the two: Fronny? Sedo? Whatever. Let's call him Moe Green? Hyman Roth? Oh wait. He doesn't like the Jews. (Not fair!, that was one of the weeks in 20 years he didn't hear any such nonsense when he listened to the good Reverend).
Happy Mothers Day Weekend
'Say what?!?' lunacy of the left...It's Friday after all
In today’s installment of the Dems are truly insane in the membrane, we have Linda Sanchez (D-CA).
Linda is living in la-la land with the bill she just introduced, H.R. 1966.
It’s called the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act. This act is in reaction to a horrific case out of California, where a mother of a former friend of Megan Meier created a fake account on myspace to learn what Meier was saying about her daughter. It led to some pretty nasty exchanges over the Internet and unfortunately Megan commited suicide.
While the intentions of this act I’m sure are noble, the consequences will be frightening if they don’t change the language in the bill as it stands now.
Here’s how it currently reads:
'Sec. 881. Cyberbullying'(a) Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person, using electronic means to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
(emphasis mine)
If you link out to the bill you will see that Sec. 2 includes legislaltive findings that discusses the purpose behind Cyberbullying. That's all fine and well. But where in this bill do they define "person"? Shouldn't they indicate that this is designed to include young boys and girls, minors, juveniles or teenagers? Would it really be hard to include that language? I would argue as a defense one only need to look at the purpose of those findings. After than, it should be clear what a person is meant to be. However, we live in a day when Justices on the short-list for the United States Supreme Court giggle about how the court makes policy. Tee heee hee...I know we're supposed to and all...tee heee.....but that's what we do! As it stands both anyone could be charged under this bill if they repeatedly “harass” or “cause substantial emotional distress to a person”. Any blogger should be reading this and thinking to themselves, Watchu talkin' 'bout Linda Sanchez?
Should we give the benefit of the doubt to Ms. Sanchez that this is not what she (or her staffers) positioned with this language? Mmmm, I'm going with 'no'. I think this goes well beyond being intentionally vague. On it's face, this bill is overbroad and would never pass constitutional muster. I would say that I haven’t seen such poorly worded language in any pending bill in some time. Then again, this Congressional session has been a boondoggle of shoddy and purposely vague legislation. I guess I shouldn't expect anything less out of the Dems at this point.
Honest to God, every day with the Dems in control gets worse than the last. Has it only been four months? When I think about it, it seems like this.
Serenity Now!

Free Cars In Massachusetts...You're Paying
But the program - fueled by a funding boost despite the state’s fiscal crash - allows those who end up back on welfare to keep the cars anyway.
“It’s mind-boggling. You’ve got people out there saying, ‘I just lost my job. Hey, can I get a free car, too?’ ” said House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading).
Where was this story yesterday? I literally just bought a car yesterday. I grabbed the Herald on my way to work this morning and find out that the car I was picking up later that day could've been mine for free. Well, free in the sense that I'd be given one while watching you pay my excise tax, insurance, registration, title, and AAA membership. Damn I could've saved my ass a lot of money. But then again I have a job and pay taxes, which in 2009 means you're shit outta luck.

Teleprompter, Stat!!
On the eve of the Mexican holiday, Obama on Monday had an event in the East Room of the White House with Mexico's Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan (sahr-oo-KHAN').
Obama joked that it was "Cinco de Cuatro," botching a play on the Spanish word for "four" when he meant to say "Cuatro de Mayo," or the Fourth of May. He tried again, but he still did not get it right.
Thoughts...and stuff
- I've had it with fake outrage over the death of the Republican party. I think it was fair to critique the state of the party after the asswhoopping in both 2006 and 2008. That said, I don't think an asscrack that point-blank stated he was leaving the party because he wouldn't win his own party's nomination doesnt' get to say a peep. Shut the pie-hole already, Arlen! So let's start stop listening to anything Specter has to say. As far as I'm concerned, we'd be better off having this Specter on our side.
- Joe Scarborough, you suck. I'm done with you as well. Take your effete, grande Starbucks drinking, upper-East side wanna be Peggy Noonan, I'm the token "conservative" on MSN-we're all ho's for the Obama administration, ass back to law school. Let's recap your record just last week. First, you said that Justice Kick-Ass, oh that's Lauren speak, for Justice Thomas wasn't quite representative of the black community. Sorry, I didn't realize it was important to play the identity politics game to be confirmed to the SCOTUS. You are a piss poor attorney if you think his role is to be represententative of a race; rather than to uphold the principles of our constitution.
- Michelle Obama's shiteously fugly shoes--well need I say more? See the CCs fantabulous post on this.
- Media bias and "The Stand". Look, I think this subject (media bias in general) is tired. That said, as we saw with last year's election, it's vital we call them on it. When the media finds a candidate they like, they stop at nothing to defend their investment.
- Obama's Idiocracy. A must-see for anyone that thinks that Idiocracy will go down as one of the best movies of all time (as I do).
I'm spent.

The Tolerant Left Welcomes Sarah Palin To Twitter
“He is a rare combination -- a nice conservative. These days conservatives are supposed to be mean. They're supposed to be haters.”
Most conservatives these days come across as mean [video of Newt Gingrich] or intolerant [video of Pat Buchanan] or grouchy [video of Bob Dole]
I wonder where this idea of conservatives being mean comes from. In October, Im sure only by coincidence, almost every media outlet reported on the angry mobs at McCain/Palin events. If I remember correctly I believe 27 babies, 16 grandmas, and a puppy were amongst the dead after one particularly ugly rally. And let's not talk about the tea parties. I'm still trying to get those riots out of my head.
Perhaps, it's time to take a page out of the tolerance that the left shows. After all, they are some of least angry people you would ever meet. With control of the White House, Senate, and House of Reps, they are the picture of happiness. Lets see how they have welcomed Sarah Palin to twitter over the past few days. These are messages directed specifically to her.
shortshrift: @akgovsarahpalin let me eat your babies. allllllllll your babiez.
michaeltbraun: @AKGovSarahPalin - you are Satan incarnate.
kazoshay: @AKGovSarahPalin I wanna fuckstart your head
willowdiamond: @AKGovSarahPalin STOP KILLING THE WOLVES, YOU HEARTLESS B*TCH.

Dufus: @AKGovSarahPalin Miss California fake titties.. She's more popular by repubutards than you are! You can be her vice president.old ugly one.
sammikaplan: FUCKING @akgovsarahpalin has a twitter??? lets all harass her!
bryanvangelder: @AKGovSarahPalin you are a bane on the human race. An embarrassment above all embarrassments. I wish terrible things upon you. Get out.

The Associated Press Investigates Obama
WASHINGTON — The first couple took full advantage of the cool spring night.
After a date night out on Saturday evening, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama decided to take a stroll when their motorcade arrived back at the White House.
So they began walking on the driveway of the White House South Lawn while holding hands. First they passed the West Wing, then their children’s swing set. They kept walking, swinging their hands together.
I don't know why the media has such a bad name. I mean this is the hard hitting type of story that Americans need to know. I honestly could care less why the White House spent over $300,000 to send New Yorkers screaming through the streets just to get a photo. I want to make sure that this guy is enchanted. This story leaves me wanting more. Where were they going?
As the Obamas walked behind shrubbery and out of sight, the unscripted moment left reporters guessing where they were going. To the vegetable garden? The basketball court? No final word, but they eventually came back the same way from where they started, rounding out their 8-minute walk.
This story should put to rest the rumors that the White House was planning to use the press corps in order to pressure Chrysler investors. As we can see with this hard hitting story, the press corps isn't going to simply lay down for the Obamas.
