I was dubious about Dowd bouncing her basketball, weaving in and out and through the legs of her adversaries, actually lunch partners, for who is the greatest celebrity maker? Doodie Dowd, love her.
If we listen to the nytimes, we might easilier drive into a brick abutment. Not that we don't love race car driving video games, just let's get these fast young guys out selling America housing to the world. Sure everybody can build, the Romans knew how to pile pagan bricks, but selling the world what we do best might be a way to feel better than you get in these pages. America went crazy on housing because it's our industry. Time is not to protect, or save the automakers, break'em up, give parts to the UAW, and re-tool for world wide housing units. Africa alone will keep us busy for years.
I take Obama seriously, he says, move on. He might take more time NOT appeasing the whiners but branch-out, change the world, and it'll do Doodie Dowd and the rest of us GOOD.

What a ridiculous precept for a nytimes column. Any person who commits to change will move forward until thwarted in these long-held states and entities of institutionalism, as well the drug producing nations, of recidivism. This does not mean in the street but how we institutionalize inequity. Abuse of the landscape by farming interests in this country needs to be addressed. Can the drought really be God's Will, and not over-grazing, for example. People need change. The French Terror was a little abrupt in the abrogation of aristocratic privileges, but it's not far from how people think about banks & wall street execs, and others. Hope reveals a New Morality. Let's address that and see how far it will go.

Enter the Media, obsessively recycling the bad, the worst, the impenetrable doom, throwing fire on the coals, and gas on the blaze, and horror and hate on the inferno. Brooks is a prophet of doom, drinks too much coffee, and can't stand the shift, a New Morality answers hope. That's the problem with change, the old guard wants it to go down....

Pay us back what? We've had it ever since Bill Clinton ushered in the era of we know better, we are better, everybody is better, and suddenly we know it better than, government by the media and not the consensus. Voting is truly passé when the media, small mind m, knows better for us. Change your doctor, change your cure, the endless mindless sabotage of opinionators selling paper. This one's the worst, like frosting on a new snow morning, the illusion is hers, not ours.

In a nation and Media that pilloried George W. Bush for acting, and commiting America to a course that seemed highly questionable, the Stimulus Bill becomes a ludicrous concept. Doubting Congress, doubting history, in fact doubting everything because of the inane intent of conviction, we forget that advert so true to life, just do it. Just do it. The human species is made to recover and excel if, we can stop questioning questions. Believing is more than half the cure, it is the cure.

"I’d personally like to see a more" open-minded Media, not so quick to lunge at negativity which plays so well in print or tv. Nowhere is there any culpability displayed for the news columnists heightening the fears and causing reaction in the public mind. Writing what's wrong is so easy, and righting the upturned cart so difficult, when the opinionators keep hammering the downside, the narrow-minded fears, and all without any opportunity to be cornered and brought to justice.

Histrionics is the tableau of politicians who are must often elected because of constituents who are passionate about their point of view. Media opinion-ators in turn love it. In short, it's one unrehab-able grease pit. The thing is, business does not emanate from congress. Congress facilitates and oversees business, where only enlightenment grows. When congress comes down with a moral tone on business, WE ARE IN TROUBLE.
The pitch line out of this mess is overseas. Not in the fifty, hence, outside of the grease pit. Obama has the World, so let's hope he doesn't lose it.

Presidents, movie stars, sports stars, etc., are always great models for us to grow-up on emulating. Black Obama cuts a special curve though, mom and grand mom were white. Fact is, black or white, Repub or Demo, man or woman, the President is a President. Coming to a place where color is not important. This President was elected because he speaks to the People with empathy. He is a true son to Bill Clinton, who spoke with empathy and raised the consciousness of many groups. He did his job, and look what happened. We outgrew him. Each President does his/her job because there is no getting out of it, even when the Press and the People hate you. It's a job. And, like most all jobs, money rules, so too will it rule President Obama.

Everything is relational, Presidential sequencing none the less, so whatever seems important to your POV is not as important as relational intelligence, or in this case, relational empathy. Good or bad, it just goes that way. Bush begot Clinton begot Bush begot Obama, or Bush begot Bush, and Clinton begot Obama, and so, on and on.... Ultimately, money rules.
