Ladies and Gentlemen Obama Has Left the Building.
Obama’s Handlers Howard Dean, David Axelrod….George Soros, ….George Clooney perhaps, have moved Obama out of the spot light. After a few weeks of disastrous speeches and one liners Obama is out of the Building. After ditching his poor old grandmother for a year and a half, Obama finally says I must visit my grandmother.
So, Obama must visit his grandmother…right!
He had to leave town and go into hiding after batches of bad statements like these:
Barack Obama:
“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.”
There’s things that you can do individually though to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated. Simple thing. But we could save all the oil they are talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires. And getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much.
From MIchelle:
And then we have to get them to vote. That’s what we have to do, because if there’s one thing that I’ve seen out there as I’ve traveled around the country over this last year is that women need an advocate in the White House now more than ever before, more than ever before.
That Was Quick!
Obama pays visit to grandmother in Makiki

He was not accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.” (more)

So, What Is He Afraid Of; Himself:
Barack Obama Is Afraid of Himself

What would Obama let slip out about Russia and Gerogia if he were speaking?
From Michelle Malkin:
War in Ossetia intensifies
No one’s backing down.
For commentary on the battle, check out, um, Commentary, which has a telling comparison of McCain and Obama’s reactions to the conflict. And here’s an interesting take on Russian strategy from a new guy (to me, anyway), L. Douglas Garrett: One of the greatest tricks of “playing the system” in the post-1948 world is an improvement on the time-honored practice of creating a plurality of one ethnic group in a territory where few if any of that group existed over a longer period of history. With sufficient migration over time of a group that also does not integrate into the culture of the extant society in a territory, with demographic advantages such as a higher birth-rate than the locals in many cases, and with the cover of some larger event like warfare denuding the land of a portion of the local population, it is far too easy for the “new” group to claim that they are *now* the legitimate populace of the territory. One needs look no further than Kosovo to have seen such a thing in action. (Malkin)Obama has spoken in his floaty and open ended way, he says nothing:
As usual It’s simple for Obama,
“I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict,” Obama said in a statement. “Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint, and to avoid an escalation to full-scale war. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected.”
McCain has a more percise apporach:
Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military operations and withdraw all forces from sovereign Georgian territory. What is most critical now is to avoid further confrontation between Russian and Georgian military forces. The consequences of Euro-Atlantic stability and security are grave. The government of Georgia has called for a cease fire and for a resumption of direct talks on South Ossetia with international mediators. The U.S. should immediately convene an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to call on Russia to reverse course. The U.S. should immediately work with the E.U. and the OSCE to put diplomatic pressure on Russia to reverse this perilous course that it has chosen.
