Brad Blakeman (nasty Repub.) on why Obama shouldn't "go on comedy shows" or "make brackets"
On Obama going on Leno-"Either he's gonna be a Community Organizer or he's gonna be the President of the United States." On Obama making his picks on ESPN-"He isn't a bookie-he's President of the United States." That's the best they can do? :eyes:

3. curiously
I've found some people on DU saying the same thing. And even more curiously, Lindsey Graham said the same thing this morning. IMO, it would be different if he was ONLY doing Leno, but he has a prime time press conference/other interviews coming up, so I could care less.



but lol to the commuunity organizer jab...what the fuck does that even mean? Community organizers make brackets and go on Leno? Brad Blakeman always takes it to the next level.

9. Really? They said it HERE? They aren't real Dems. if that's their
reasoning. And you're right-he's doing a whole media blitz which includes taking more questions from real people and reporters than Bush has EVER taken.

And I know-what does that even MEAN? Going on Leno makes you a community organizer?

12. She may be even worse because she says the same stuff and laughs while she's saying it.
As if she's so right and smug about it.

8. So let me get this straight
Bush taking 3 months off every year to pose for photos of himself "clearing brush" shows he's reg'lar folks.

Obama appearing on shows that are watched by people who may not watch CSPAN, PBS, Meet The Press etc. demeans the presidency.

Right. Got that.

19. Obama owes nothing to the Brad Blakeman's of the world
They didn't vote for him. They have said that they want him to fail and they are not interested in helping him one bit. He owes them nothing.

Blakeman is kindly asked to STFU.

21. He's not a bookie, he's a basketball fan...
Showing support for something positive going on in the country, and his personal interest in basketball is entirely appropriate.

Don't governors and senators always make "friendly wagers" when teams from their states end up in sports championships? "If Florida is defeated in the Whooziz Bowl, I'll send a crate of oranges and an alligator wallet to the Governor of Indiana" or whatever.

Now, John McCain, I bet he's got a few grand riding on HIS bracket picks... probably with Bill Bennett.

22. I must have missed it when Sen. Blakeman complained
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 12:20 PM by rocktivity
about all the "vacations" Bush took--especially the one during Hurricane Katrina.

But in case you've forgotten, there's a reason why Bush didn't do too many late night talk shows...
