Can we admit that Obama has a really big stick?

[mcwop23]

That's so dope

Deaf guy in the handshake line signs "I am proud of you." Obama signs "Thank you."

this is one of the silky smoothest things in this thread

[Zwischenzug]

Yeah. Does he know asl? Or was he just familiar with the sign? Or did he just recognize that the sign was praise and know how to say thank you?

[grammatron]

Yeah, it's possible he was just saying thank you to the deaf guy just like he was saying thank you to everyone else in the line, but still. P smooth.

[WAC]

That is awesome

[important dentist]

i mean just contrast it with romney saying "congratulations," then realizing his mistake and yelling "congratulations"

[the genius king]

Made me cry. dammit.

[worrywort]

video of michelle at the bottom is just as awesome too (and probably satisfactorily answers the question of whether the pres just knows "thank you").

[grammatron]

Didn't even notice the Michelle vid. Very good.

[KALM]

i don't think it was there when you first posted it

[Mr Spaceship]

that was awesome

[WAC]

Man just having basic human decency puts him so far beyond anyone running for the Republican nomination.

[The Dirty Turtle]

shit, i just felt a human emotion

DRUDGE: FLASH: U.S. SENT FRENCH SHOOTING SUSPECT BACK TO FRANCE FROM AFGHANISTAN...

Oh shit, Obama let this guy out?!

Oh wait...

"French shooting suspect had escaped from Afghan prison". Reuters

[Mr Spaceship]

conservative media thrives on misinformation and keeping their readers as stupid as possible

[iambic]

Obama saying he wants to come back to Ireland if reelected and Michelle saying she wants to bring the kids this time has further endeared him to us

yet sadly we cannot vote

Applications (INJCJC) for unemployment benefits dropped last week to the lowest level in four years, reinforcing signs the U.S. labor market is picking up.
Jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to 348,000 in the week ended March 17, the fewest since February 2008, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 46 economists in a Bloomberg News survey projected 350,000. The number of people on unemployment benefit rolls and those getting extended payments also fell.

Dismissals have been waning and reports show companies are becoming more willing to expand workforces amid evidence sales are improving. Employment growth will help spur consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy.

John Hood, president of the conservative North Carolina-based John Locke Foundation, has apologized for a very special graphic that one of his bloggers, “Hot Talk WRNN co-host Tara Servatius,” included in her post for the think tank’s blog this week. What is the controversy? All it did was show “President Obama in chains and drag with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.” What is the controversy? Everyone loves Kentucky Fried Chicken! And look, Tara Servatius says she “didn’t think about the racial implications of the picture when I posted it. I simply don’t think in those terms.” She’s a fun one.

In an exchange with Myrtle Beach’s The Sun News, Servatius explains that her graphic of President Obama in chains and drag eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken “was meant to illustrate Obama’s southern political strategy, nothing more.” Come again?

"At the time, I was searching for a picture of the president in drag to illustrate his southern political strategy of courting young voters, 70 percent of whom support gay marriage. It was one of the first photos to come up on Google Images. Regrettably, I didn’t think about the racial implications of the picture when I posted it. I simply don’t think in those terms. Unfortunately some people do."

She doesn't deny apparently thinking in terms of equating gay marriage to S&M however.
