Not many white ladies. Obama needs to mix it up more. I know the WH press corps looks like it may be at least 80% white guys. But he should be choosing the few women who are in there to ask questions along with Helen Thomas who has a deep and wide perspective.

Mix up the gender, race and age factor

Hey JohnJ, how you been? I was working on a post I just put up and didn’t think there was anybody up over here or I would have come and visited.

Ah ha! I think we may have stumbled onto the secret to the Rethug loyalty; the heart plug! Have we ever seen a Rethug without a shirt on (yuck, no thanks!)

Do ya’ think he or poppy had it installed in chimpy?

Is he the same Baron Harkonen who is for health care reform and the public option? As it turns out, he was denied coverage when his heart plug was determined to be a pre-existing condition.

Sorry, late to the party as always.

The whole capital area has a tunnel system that included, at one time, the WH. I haven’t been there in over 20 years but there was a tram like system for all the Gov workers to run from building to building. It wasn’t really restricted access other than it went from inside the office buildings and had no outside access.

It was never secret, but like that hotel outside of town with the blast doors, it just wasn’t discussed much.(After Baron Harkonen’s reign, it probably has armed guards). Most of us with relatives and neighbors working downtown knew about it. (The court I lived in had managers from: Treasury, FCC, Customs, Secret Service, FBI, CIA, and the WaPoo. We knew lots of that stuff).

Let’s see, you ask the Secret Service to release a list of names, the same Secret Service that has been a constant for many years irrespective of president/party, and they say no, and suddenly, the President is to blame? Good God, if the Secret Service had their way the President would never leave the White House. OF COURSE THEY SAID NO. But, the President tonight said that list would be released. I trust that it will. Well, if not, then be all over him. My one dealing with the Secret Service concerned a schizophrenic nursing home patient that made a call to the White House. The Agent was very bright, very professional, and I came away with the impression they buy Miralax by the ton. Which, by the way, is not a criticism; it is a by-product of what they get payed to do.

Ew/all you may be interested in this interview..just finished listening
http://antiwar.com/radio/2009/.....horton-21/
The Other Scott Horton (no relation), international human rights lawyer, professor and contributing editor at Harper’s magazine, discusses Attorney General Eric Holder’s likely appointment of a prosecutor to investigate torture, the common misconception that the CIA pressed the White House to allow “enhanced” interrogations, Dick Cheney’s chicken-hawk tendencies and the potential bombshell Inspector General’s report on U.S. torture practices.
