You get the feeling . . .
that the President really thinks that the country will rise up and demand he be re-elected.
January 2017
I predict President Obama will demand a rebuttal speech at the Inauguration.
Official JupiterComplex song
Is it too soon to identify the official JupiterComplex song? Yes, it is, but so what? I very much like “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvtdbfI1sqQ). Many of the comments say it is a parody, and I recognize the hit on George Bush, Sr. But the middle verse lamenting the loss of the child? I am missing the sarcasm there.
In between two predictions
I thought the political discussion of the Oregon community college killings would follow one of two non-overlapping directions (1) shooter was Caucasian male, so uproar about it being NRA/GOP fault (2) shooter was Muslim, so silence. But as to today (10/2), shooter is Caucasian who hates religion, esp. Christianity, but is not Muslim. That falls in between what I thought covered all possibilities.
Another government agency reputation down the drain
So the Secret Service looked for ways to retaliate against a Congressman for a hard investigation into Secret Service lapses. Sounds like a lot of the guys forgot that they serve the US, not serving their self-interests. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/30/secret-service-tried-to-discredit-gop-rep-chaffetz/?intcmp=hplnws
