2. I want to know how they got Lindsey Graham into that bubble

[Bicoastal]

4. Fiddling while Rome is burning down is the feeling I get from those photos

sorry for being a downer

[Undercurrent]

5. That's the spirit.

Don't let the kids have any fun because the country is a mess. While were at it let's cancel Christmas too. Hell. Just outlaw fun altogether. :eyes:

[jonnyblitz]

6. that was my first reaction, too. seriously. nt

7. Don't you mean "dithering"?

You know, like your boy Darth Cheney said the other day?

[PopSixSquish]

8. Well If It Makes You Feel Any Better

the Obamas are hosting this party for schoolchildren in the DC area as well as military families.

Lordy...

9. I don't get the negative reaction either.

I don't remember people being negative about the Easter egg roll. Did I miss something? Kids having fun at the White House is now somehow a bad thing?

10. The way it works is if Obama is not working every second of the day

on someone's particular issue and especially if he is not doing things exactly the way they feel it should be done it means the world is going to end and right wing memes should follow. He is Hoover, He is LBJ, Clinton, a corporatist, bought by sos and so. The list goes on and it never ends.

25. Fiddling?

2000 trick or treaters in an hour or less is WORK. And, the performers on the grounds gave the kids in line something to look at while waiting. So, no, not 'fiddling' - hell, not even in the same stratosphere as strumming a guitar while New Orleans drowns.

This IS part of his job. He is the US head of state as well as the executive chief. This activity falls under the former heading, not the latter. Really, no different than the Easter Egg hunt.

Personally, I am less than thrilled with his policy stands, but both President and Mrs Obama have been outstanding in their representation of the US - and this is one more instance of their success.

12. Fer cryin' out loud, should the kids of DC be punished? You are a

downer. :thumbsdown:

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will greet more than 2,000 children from Washington, Maryland and Virginia schools and their families to celebrate Halloween.

[FrenchieCat]

13. Fiddling?

My God! Rome has been burning for a real long time.....
one Halloween Saturday ain't gonna change a thing! Geeze!
I'm surprise you didn't do yourself in while you had the chance,
considering how bad things have been starting in 2001. :eyes:

14. What exactly do you think keeps people going when times are rough?

Dirges?

[elleng]

17. A bit of joy, of course!

:party:

[boppers]

20. Yes, Dirges work, for some.

See: Goths.

[otohara]

15. Well, At Least Southern California Isn't

and that's a good thing.


Happy Halloween

16. You ARE DOWN!

Under the Ocean, unable to see and hear what's really happening.

Sorry.

[grace0418]

19. Good grief.

Downer is right.

[joeycola]

21. I was struck by the Phase 'WH bubble". It does seem that way many

times lately.

[TwilightGardener]

22. Children shall not be entertained when there's trouble in the world.

No candy either. They might enjoy it too much and forget to worry about war, famine, disease, and poverty.

[phleshdef]

23. Such overdramatic pettiness.

[tabasco]

26. Boohoohoo!

Sore loserman!

[firedupdem]

11. Very Cool! I hope those children have a great time! especially

the military children. They certainly deserve it. Excellent!

[rebel with a cause]

18. Reminds me of the carnivals that came to town when I was a little girl.

They would always have a parade when they came to our small town and almost always had a person in a bubble being rolled down the street. Sometimes they would have someone in a ring with a person rolling them with a big stick like the old children's game. I loved the excitement we had on those days and the anticipation we felt for those (pitiful) little carnivals.

24. wow, neat!
