Talk about inconsistency, I don't think the Obamas quite get it. Much as I love them, they have chosen a Quaker school, Sidwell Friends, for their daughters. On the other hand, they are choosing an "obliterationist" for their SoS.

Hillary Clinton NEVER renounced her position on the invasion of Iraq. Never.

I am sorry. I thought we worked hard to get Obama to win over Hillary in the primaries. I really worked hard. I didn't like the fact that she was FOR the invasion of Iraq, and is a hawk. She forces her way, and as the press is so gently putting it, she's a leader, not a follower. How could she follow Obama's direction. She can't even follow her husband's direction.

Yes, he did it.He's so nervous about the choice of Emanuel as the Chief of Staff that he unloosed the F bomb on his show.

It wouldn't be so horrible if the mouther of the blasphemous morpheme himself hadn't been griping at the outset of the show about Obama mentioning in jest Nancy Reagan's "seances" in his first press conference.

It wouldn't be so horrible if, after uttering the blasphemous morpheme, he hadn't pretended he didn't realize he had said it.

It wouldn't be so horrible if he didn't make an egotistical mess of it and a giant joke and clown to draw attention to himself.

This morning, hundreds of northeasterners from all over have descended upon Easton, PA, as well as other towns in PA, to help with GOTV.

He opens his show with an attack on Barack, claiming the LA Times tape they won't hand over reveals that Barack is toasting weather underground members at a dinner on the tape. Then Barnacle asks him to be a bit more specific, and Joe narrows it down to one person, Mika says, "But he teachers at Columbia, doesn't he?" and Joe says, "He's part of that Edward Said crowd at Columbia that's supposed to be so anti-semitic, right?"

Forgive me, this is going to ramble, but mostly because I am really, really upset by what I am hearing in the Committee on Oversight right now.

Alan Greenspan was "shocked, shocked I tell you!" that the house of cards has fallen. He sees the problem as subprime mortgages. "We didn't know that a deterioration in the standards was occuring until 2005."

"I made a mistake in thinking banks could protect themselves."

I would suggest, Alan Greenspan is obfuscating with his "toxic mortgages."

It's not just about mortgages. It's about the whole philosophy of trickle down, absolutely free-market, unregulated economics, and it began with Milton Friedman bucking varieties of theories carefully designed to plan regulation, proposed by notable economists from Adam Smith (18th century) to John Meynard Keynes (20th century.)

It was spurred on by the likes of Ronald Reagan, Arthur Laffer and Jude Walinsky.

In my ninth month of canvassing and campaigning in PA, I have some observations. Rich, poor, middle class Pennsylvania, the people are smart. Young, old and middle aged, they can't be fooled.
What McCain doesn't know is that Pennsylvanians have a keen sense of fair play, even though other issues may distract them. They know a hard worker when they see one, and they know a flim-flam as well.

In 1955, my father had been a Captain in the Air Force in World War II, had passed a qualifying examination to skip undergraduate study and go right into a graduate program at the University of Chicago, and had a good chance of a job as a statistician with the Bureau of Labor Statistics in DC.

So I return from Allentown, PA where I am listening to Michelle Obama give a thoughtful, caring presentation in a Roundtable for Military Spouses. It' s about service to the country, loyalty, perseverance and integrity.

I am sorry, but this will be a short diary.
On MSNBC, Norah O'Donnell right now, two references were made to Biden's supposedly saying that it's patriotic to raise taxes.
She just did it again.
