FAKE NEWS CONFERENCE AT NPC -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday October, 21, 2009

Hello in the middle of the week – hump day!!

 

The hand grenades are flying over the walls at the White House as the Administration digs in to fight its own personal war with Fox News.

 

So far the President has been “studying” what to do in Afghanistan, where he’s already sent his personally picked General McChrystal, but left him hanging waiting while the President professes not to be ‘hurried’ while his troops await his orders and reinforcements.  What’s so confusing he said back in March and reiterated in August that *he* was installing a new strategy in Afghanistan where the war began in 2001.

 

With the new strategy thus in place for 53 days he leaves everyone twiddling their thumbs in harms way while he attends fund-raisers, rambles off to Copenhagen to unsuccessfully bring the Olympics back to his home base of Chicago, has a quickie trip hither and yon to speak to school children and do things that profess to be high priority, and carries on a verbal chastisement with Humana and all the insurance companies on his must-do, government supported health reform option.  Talk about lack of focus – he appears to be trying to stuff film in his digital camera.

 

President Obama is rather well known for calling attention to his association with Abraham Lincoln – in fact the State in which he entered politics – Illinois – is known as the “land of Lincoln.” So to sum up I’ll use one of ‘Honest Abe’s’ quotations: You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

 

Cordially, IN HIM
