It's all about the O

As in...
O for President-Elect Obama. Still seems unreal.
O for Oh shit, a political scandal in Illinois! Who'd have thunk it?
O for Oh boy, Bill Richardson bows out from Commerce due to an investigation into his campaign contributions.
O for Oh, I forgot to pay the IRS self-employment taxes when they were due, not to mention that illegal alien I hired as my housekeeper (Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary nominee).

More to come, I'm sure.

Five Foreign Policy Questions for Obama

1. Should the US support NATO membership for Georgia and the Ukraine, even if we invite angering Russia?

2. Should the US militarily defend Georgia and the Ukraine if they are attacked?

3. How do you fix Palestine?

4. How do you fix Mexico other than annexation?

5. Should the US curtail production of Flex Fuel in order to export more corn and grain to ease world hunger?

McCain: Genius to Idiot in 48 hours

The first Presidential debate starts in roughly 5 minutes. McCain has gone from genius to idiot in 48 hours by doing the following:

1. Suspend the campaign to fix the economy: brilliant! Make yourself look statesman-like and Obama a follower if he does the same, a political hack if he declines. Say you want the debate postponed until an economic fix-it plan is done.

2. Blow off David Letterman because "it's not a time for comedy," but instead of proceeding to DC:
a. Go down the street and do an interview with Katie Couric
b. Go have dinner
c. Stay overnight in NYC
d. Go to a Bill Clinton event, then
e. D'oh! Almost forgot! Have to go to DC!

3. Say nothing in the meeting you called (as opposed to your opponent, who allegedly yelled a lot). Go back on your word after the $700 Billion (with a B) plan falls apart and head to Mississippi. Lower expectations by having your spinners say Obama's a much better debater, even though foreign policy is your expertise.

4. Hope everyone starts asking about what exactly Obama did during his short time in DC too.
