A President Whose Last Name Ends In a Vowel Is Globally Attractive

I've long thought that the "War on Terrorism" would ultimately be won by winning hearts and minds around the world. Really, would we ever be able to kill every last possible terrorist who would do our country harm? Or is it better to bring into the American fold of allies the governments of where those potential bad guys live, and have those governments help us out by dealing with the bad guys?

Sort of, "fight them there instead of fighting them here." And it'd be cheaper for America, in both blood and treasure.

But, perhaps you've noticed after the French were all Americans, too, on 9/12/01, we've since lost squandered those hearts and minds around the word.

Yet, in one day, and with one election, the world sees America as a much more open and attractive and intelligent place.

Let the re-branding of America begin.

Obmemea: Please Pick Joe Biden

If there is an MSM-generated conclusion that Obama is "dragging his feet" on his Veep choice, it's only because it's one of those MSM-generated expectations that isn't being fulfilled. (See the "Why won't Hillary just quit already?" saga.)

I personally hope it's Biden, because he'd be great on the campaign trail and in office. So what if he's a bit of a loose cannon? At least he'd be a vice-president doing it on via hyperbole, instead of with firearms or an army.

If it is Biden, I pray to God that Obama feels comfortable enough to introduce him as "bright and clean nice-looking." But if it isn't Biden, his vetting gives us one more chance to give him props for single-handedly crystallizing and torpedoing Rudy Giuliani's bogus victim-as-Presidential candidate hoo-ha: "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11."



Whatever comes through my text tonight, thank you, Joe Biden.
