Our brand new, for two months, Commander-in-chief made his first faux pas last night on national TV, Leno.
Welcome to an unfortunate political horrible reality sir, but I am more than sure you know that once it’s on film its forever.
The misguided non earth shattering verbiage occurred when asked about the future of him being able to play basketball at the Whitehouse.
Jay Leno assumed that the president did not use the bowling alley (that will teach you to assume anything, Jay), and Mr. President said that he had and even had gotten a score of 129. Jay I suppose being polite, said not bad and the president responded by saying, not bad for Special Olympics.
Our incredible human president on his way back home to the Whitehouse on Air Force 1 contacted the Chairman of the Special Olympics and apologized stating that he has the utmost respect for the Special Olympics people and the programs, they are a triumph to the American spirit or something to that effect, and this was done before the show aired last night.
But apparently, even though he caught the mistake in the nick of time, the media still took the liberty of having a field day with it. I truly believe it is because he is our first unflappable cool guy president and this was finally something they had on him; must have been a slow news day… oh well.
I still appreciate you and your analogy being probably right on target with your evaluation of your treatment in D.C. that it’s a lot like American Idol with most of the people being like Simon Cowell with their criticism.
Only wish it was different for you sir.
Non partisan is how I am registered and it may be an idealistic way of thinking about government. It is because of me not committing to one party due to me not wanting to be pigeon- holed into one party and being able, this way to vote for whomever I thought was the best person for the job, and yes, you did get my vote. I voted for you because you were so smart, cool and calm, and wanted what I wanted priority wise.
I have been hoping that that idealism might just catch on and apparently it did somewhat with your landslide win!
Since I was a kid I knew that doing things just for monetary gain would come to no good if no good was behind the reasoning to accomplish something.
At the tender age of fifteen as an unfortunately fresh teen I had a heated debate with a friend’s Dad on that very topic, and that was nearly 44 years ago.
He as a junk dealer who seemed to think that money was everything and could solve all problems.
Today being ill with chronic diseases and knowing that no money will change what I have.
I think of so many who believe money is the answer to all their problems, but now the world even knows that it has caused more trouble than its worth.
I must admit that it has been a wonderful resource for research, but I often wonder why the price of such things continues to escalate at such an ungodly rate.
Having studied business in high school and college of course I do understand the ideas of supply and demand, but so much of what has happened in the recent few years has no rhyme or reason; just greed as the bottom line in my opinion.
On that note I will bid you all a good night and to all count your blessings and I will too!
PS Blessings are free!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
