| Obama fighting for his presidency, not reform |
| 2009-08-19 |
| Eyes beginning to peep in under the tent But worse for Obama, his end run damaged what was once his greatest asset -- the belief among voters that he was something different. Endless evasions and then a crackdown on opponents has made Obama look like just another president -- and a cynical one at that. Emotionally invoking his grandmother's November death over the weekend to shame his critics was just the latest in a series of shoddy ploys. Can President Obama escape the wreckage of his health care effort? Yes, but only if he stops being so slippery and starts leveling with voters. |

| #2 And in other news.... Body found in the River: Salem Police Department reports finding a man's body in the Willamette river just west of the Marion Bridge. The dead man's name will not be released until his family has been notified. The victim apparently drowned due to excessive intoxication. He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a strap-on sexual device, and an Obama t-shirt. He also had a cucumber inserted in his rectum. The police removed the Obama t-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment. |

| #1 I do not know anyone who thinks Obama is "different". People turn down the sound when Obama comes on the TV or radio. That cannot be a good sign for the President, or what is left of his term. |
