Default President with a brain AND a sense of humor

At the Georgetown-Duke basketball game this afternoon, President Obama
visited with CBS announcer Verne Lundquist who showed footage of the
president playing basketball, NBC News reports.


Lundquist: "Mr. President, you're a left-hander, do you have any
trouble going to your right?"


Obama: "I can go to my right now and then. I went to the House
Republican caucus the other day. But there's no doubt I have a
stronger left hand."


It was a joy watching Obama at that GOP conclave in Baltimore. Later, I
read that Faux News gave little attention to it on its fake news and
talk show programming that day. The reason was obvious: Obama sliced and
diced the GOP'ers, and did it pleasantly, and with humor.

It's also obvious that the GOP'ers are going to "obstruct" whenever they
can. I hope the Dems are sharp enough to focus on that and make a big
issue out of it.


Hope in one hand, and $hit in the other, and see which one gets full
first...


You have lots of experience with the latter. You fling it all around.

See you in the mid-term elections. The dems are toast. Your paper
tiger is going down in flames.


Right. Well, we'll see.
