okay...almost time...I don't know how much of this I will blog...but I wanted a place for our thoughts and reflections...

I have a stomach flu....feel rotten...( called in sick to work...I have only missed work one in 4 monthes...) so I am pretty low energy....

I did watch the Elk Heart Town Meeting....I will try to post it later...it was pretty amazing....

thanks if you stop by....

tom said...

Hope you get better, you are our rock, our soul

enigma4ever said...

Thanks tom..
I will be fine..I just get run down...(thanks for what you said...) we are a community...we are WE THE PEOPLE...

okay so far this presser sucks...the media really needs lessons about HOW to be journalists and ask Questions for the People...

Obama is doing great- he sounds so strong...and clear.....firm...no shit Chi-town Obama....

Tuned in about 8:30, he's doing well so far! My husband commented "Can you imagine Bush answering any of these questions?"

Mauigirl said...

Oh, and Enigma, I hope you feel better. Stomach bugs are the pits!

Very interesting comment re: bipartisanship that someone asked. He says maybe he learned a lesson, that the way to go about it is not put in the provisions he knows they'd want, ahead of time, as he did this time with tax breaks; and that way they will add them in themselves and it will make it feel more participative.

tom said...

no no he is doing a GREAT JOB, he is controlling the presser, he is answering questions, the press is just not used to this...
But give the press it's due they are asking better questions because they EXPECT better answers, they are askin tough questions cause they CAN
its A-o-K

very very good presser

Mauigirl said...

Yes, he did a great job, and really put a lot of thought into his answers. What a change from the previous 8 years! (Not that W had many press conferences at all in the first place).
