This Is A Story?

I’m fed up with the pinheads that claim that there is no media bias.

This is what constitutes a story from the Associated Press? What kind of crap is this?

Obamas take a walk, holding hands in the evening

WASHINGTON (AP) – The first couple took full advantage of the cool spring night.

After a date night out on Saturday evening, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama decided to take a stroll when their motorcade arrived back at the White House.

So they began walking on the driveway of the White House South Lawn while holding hands. First they passed the West Wing, then their children’s swing set. They kept walking, swinging their hands together.

There were no Secret Service agents right behind them – the agents stood off, in one of the rare moments that the Obamas had private space outside the White House walls.

As the Obamas walked behind shrubbery and out of sight, the unscripted moment left reporters guessing where they were going. To the vegetable garden? The basketball court? No final word, but they eventually came back the same way from where they started, rounding out their 8-minute walk.

The walk wrapped up one of their first date nights in the District since they’ve lived at the White House. Before arriving home and taking the stroll, the president and first lady dined out for nearly two hours at a posh Georgetown restaurant.

The stroll was a quiet contrast to their dinner outing. The Obamas’ visit to Georgetown attracted thick crowds of onlookers who were held back by police tape, while sirens occasionally wailed and a protester chanted outside the restaurant.

Give. Me. A. Break.

Barry O went through Baltimore the other day on his whistle-stop tour… and the following photos were captured.

Before shrugging it off.. ask yourself this: Do you think there would have been any stink raised if McCain’s face was on Ol’ Glory?

Oahu Power Outtage

Written by Robert Rhodes on Friday, December 26, 2008 in: Barack Obama, Hawaii, Personal, Politics, Waikiki, Weather |

A brief electrical storm was all it took to knock the power out across the Hawaiian island of Oahu tonight. (I’m posting from remaining battery life in my laptop.)

This probably wouldn’t receive any sort of national attention. Hey, it’s just that 50th state. Nevermind them.

Except…

oops… Obama is still on the island.

Think it’ll make national news now?

I’ll try and make any updates from PDA or via Qik video entries. Otherwise, we’re all OFFline on the island.

A Day For Barry

Written by Robert Rhodes on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 in: Barack Obama, Politics |

What are you doing in November? Why, taking another holiday!

MARION, Ala. – In central Alabama’s Perry County, government workers already get a day off for President’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, and Veterans Day. In 2009, they’ll get one more: “Barack Obama Day.”

Well, ain’t that just swell.
