Obama Accepts Nobel Live Blog

He is standing and blinking slowly. He appears very appreciative for the accolades he so richly deserves. A fiddle player/singer with messed up hair just bowed to him. Now MSNBC are making excuses for why Obama is there without having accomplished anything and that "in fact" he has done a bunch of stuff and it is all amazing including rising from no-where to a very well deserved stage appearance to recieve a medal for all the things he is going to do, one day, some time, later. The fiddle player/singer with messed hair is finished. HERE IS COMES!!!! So exciting! His telepromtors are working well. Oops, something must have happened. He must have lost his place. He's back. His wife looks angry. (I'll bet he fears her wrath!) He just admitted to being CC of a nation in two wars. He is explaining why the war can't be his fault. Last resort, just war, in restraint. Proud yet......new threats are causing the world to buckle. Michelle still looks angry. I'll bet she is on his ass most days. He is quoting MLK now and how he is a product of MLK. Oops, Gandi as well brought him here. Now he's on track: I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I. I raise this point, I begin this point. Uh oh! He just credited the US Military? This is his best speech, to date. He is defending his right to defend the nation. This isn't going over well in Norway. Wow! Peaceniks are going to hate this! He is losing the left FAST! Oops! Back to I,I,I,I,I,I,I, torture, Guantanamo bay, I,I,I,I,I,I,I. Not much clapping. I think (for the American audience) he is pulling this off. He is going to lose the world. He is talking about Human Rights? I am shocked! It sounds like he read the Presidential Playbook! He is even talking about the freedom movement in IRAN! We are on their side! Oh MY GOD! He is acknowledging FREEDOM! He must have been drinking. Well, now he's on Climate Change. Damn, I wish I could stick around but I have to head to work. I hope he stays on track. Good Luck America, good luck........

Live Blogging Obama

I started live Blogging Obama's speech but "I" just can't get past the "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII........................." forever talking about himself. Now he's explaining why he could not make a timely decision. 30,000 troops! Less than asked for but President "I" knows more than others how many soldiers are needed. He is talking about why he was wise to oppose the Iraq war in front of young soldiers. In my opinion, telling them why their hero's wasted their lives in Iraq. He droned on for 25 minutes about nothing and now he is back to talking about how he prohibited torture and built a new alliance with the Muslim world. He's a fucking overblown ego.....He's back to talking about the US mistakes. Kind of a low brow clap just took place. There must be "Applause" signs. I have to say that I have never seen the Cadets so under-whelmed by a speaker. He he goes on his "I believe" track. Must be winding down. Sounds like the same song every time. Now looking directly at the TelePrompter. It's over.

Time to do some planning!

Here is my idea: I want to do a vacation. I want to do it someplace warm with a beach and the chance to scuba dive. I want a vacation that is all-inclusive. That means ALL drinks, food, room, everything is included in one price. Now I have taken vacations like this with friends and they are out there. In Cozumel Mexico they have all-inclusive resorts that pander to families and are not that expensive. Cozumel is a good place because it is an island. As an island you don't have the riffraff that you have on the mainland begging or trying to rip you off. The last time I was on Cozumel (4 years ago) there was not a street you could not walk safely. The island has a large contingent of Mexican Military and a police force that is above reproach. There are many all-inclusive resorts that could meet anybody's needs. The prices do vary but I will determine a place that is cost effective for anyone and their family. If you are interested let me know but I am going to invite all the people I have known over the last 25 years. This will include: family, friends, military, political, co-workers and for some even ex-lovers (ha!). I would suggest you do the same. This is not to be construed as a "family" reunion but a reunion of friends and family because the people you hold as friends and family I would too, without judgement. Heck, I may not even like them but they are welcome to go. So....if there is something specific we should look for leave a comment and I will incorporate it in the search for the "All-Inclusive Friends and Family Vacation"!
