Catch a Wave...


Yes, he bodysurfs... not, windsurfs!

I really wanted people to read the article, it shows the humanity of the man.

At 10:56 a.m., Obama left Hanauma Bay leaving most other members of his entourage, including his daughters, behind. By now, the sun was shining.

Obama's motorcade stopped at a point near Halona Blowhole nearby so that he could pay his respects to his late mother S. Ann Dunham, who died in 1995.

Obama, who was accompanied by his former high-school pals Greg Orme and Bobby Titcomb and a secret service agent, walked down to the spot where his mother's ashes were scattered. Waves rose up out of the water as Obama pulled apart a white lei and dropped petals into the surf. About 30 Hawaii residents and visitors watched from behind a lava stone wall. Nearby a wave-runner circled in the water and two fishermen cast their lines.

I'm getting that sinking feeling.

Both fivethirtyeight and electoral-vote tody cover the slide in the polling over the last week for Obama. Despite my belief that the jackass would toss overboard anything labeled progressive if it meant he could be made to look more moderate, I certainly prefer Obama to the alternative.

The Obama campaign needs to have a good couple of weeks or we're in deep shit.

So people get shit for being harsh on Obama for his FISA vote but a fluff piece like posting a picture of him bodysurfing is germaine?

Can I say it?

Gee, looks like the kinda guy I'd love to have a brewsie with!

I dunno SoS he looks kinda exotic to me. Not really like an American. He looks like one of them Hi-Wi-Yans. And ther is no American flag on those shorts.
