    Obama pulls Halloween trick on Drudge

    Obama, as we all know, released a tiny portion of the White House visitor log. Like, minuscule. A bunch of numbers were thrown out throughout the day. Most reported that the list was about 500, but that was total visits. The number of individual visitors was 110. Out of THOUSANDS.

    Minutes after it was posted, Drudge ran the headline "CLOONEY ... OPRAH ... JEREMIAH WRIGHT ... SOROS ... BILL AYERS"

    Funny thing though: Jeremiah Wright was not THE Jeremiah Wright. Bill Ayers was not THE Bill Ayers. On a list of 110. Out of thousands.

    Oh, and the Michael Jordan on the list was not THE Michael Jordan.

    Drudge's headline now reads: "CLOONEY ... OPRAH ... SOROS"

    Oooo....scary.

    Happy Halloween!

    No kidding. Why release those particular names if they weren't THOSE names; and if they were THOSE names, why gloss it over?

    He's a strange little fellow.

      He has the media game down. Now all he has to do is learn how to do his job.

        Nah, he's more interested in PR points.

          This is dumb.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            I'm trying to understand what the point was.

                If I was POTUS then I'd get THE Michael Jordan round, just so we could play one-on-one and I could crow to my mates forever that I managed to score once (the game may take several hours for this to happen, but it'd be worth it). Also, I wouldn't be Arnie, so the American people would be onto a big win as far as the first non-Yank to be POTUS is concerned.

                    Bush got a kick out of saying "I am the President." The White House is pulling the press's leg, making them think. They have sort of forgotten how it would appear. That is most likely the point.
