I think it's interesting to see how Obama's campaign theme has continued to run through his first 36 days of his presidency. I'm on the hope theme, but it's sort of hard to buy it when I turn on the news, check the stock market, or think about Detroit. Obama says the right things, but in fairly vague terms. Frankly though, I wasn't really paying attention, I couldn't stop staring at that fox, Nancy Pelosi. She's a vision in green.
How about the rebuttal? First all, how did Louisiana get a Rhodes Scholar to go to their state? I'm pretty sure this guy took voice lessons from Kenneth, the page.
He spent a lot of time talking about how he and Obama have diverse backgrounds... thanks dipshit, I'm not blind. I particularly appreciated his yarn about his sheriff buddy and Katrina. Break his point down... I'm from India, don't trust government... lower taxes for businesses, tax credit for home buyers, Democrats are big spenders, drill for oil, TER-ROAR!, Amerrrrrica... don't monitor volcanoes, etc. Look buddy, clearly we need volcano monitoring.
To be serious for a minute, the Indian guy made a couple points I typically agree with. Unfortunately, he did it in the hick-ass way Republicans tend to do shit. I don't necessarily agree with everything the Prez sez, but I'm impressed by his ability to play well with others, especially given his massive political capital.
