A common thread

No Truman, No McArthur.
Rose Garden
Announcement
The Exit* Strategy?

* somewhere it is suggested that this was McChrystals exit strategy, and I would say one that furthers the President's Afghanistan Exit Strategy.

The Truman Crack? There are limits to what a President can do...legally, but too often politically as well.

Lame

By definition not so.
Paul Krugman
But meek to the geek.*
Speaking of which I have been under the weather for a week.
Speaking of anecdotal.
BTW: it is cloudy out, that makes me a meteorologist.
P.S. to be accurate apparently the exception proves the rule.
i.e. one error makes a counter case

* self acclaimed geek, Rachel, out geeks the more political than meek geek, Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Leaving his lesson lamer** then Rachel in the case of explaining why it snows more when it is warmer. Also anecdotal but none the less relevant, it was melting!

** Lame! A favorite refrain from Almost Live.

Noble, No Bell, Nobel

It was no dynomite for some, nor Hopenhagen.

[Comment above posting on 12-14-09..Originally held in draft 12-11-09 continue as AMENDED here:
Obama's Nobel Lecture; MSNBC, Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Jon Stewart , If Only[**]. ]

[Rounding it out: Obama Doctrine*, If Only, Great Debates, Values: to boldly go wagering "hard work" ]
[EarlierWest PointSpeech: just in case]

* "If Only" this link were followed by...(ribble?)following the Obama Doctrine and wagering Peace. "If Only" duplicity hints at Asterisk Trek, or the star power of words. Do not confuse the just with the jest.

[For future and path, consideration.]

[** 12-15-09 UPDATE: Arianna Huffington aggrees with Sarah Palin? Only in Con Text which is out of context, meaning what opinion makers so easily do by selecting their snippets. Neither Palin nor Bush would have been able give this speech and put war in context, but taking it out of context, there could be no difference.]
