I ❤ Mamie Eisenhower




As much as the next guy, really. All that PINK ,how could I not. 
BUT:
George " older than baseball" Will this morning on George Stephanopoulos: " If being First Lady is enough to make Hillary Clinton President, why didn't Mamie Eisenhower run for the office"  Big ole turd in the Easter Basket for George, and his oh so sprayed hair, ( something he got from Mamie)
I have no problem wrapping my mind around the fact that from 92-2000 we had CO-Presidents. For some unknown reason that just freaks people out. Guess it has something to do with the longing for he daddy/big brother to watch over them. OR, my guess is,  its just plain old misogyny rearing his cro-magnon head. Senator Clinton has been planning to be President since she gave the commencement speech at Wellesley in 1969. Even if you want to disavow a lifetime of work and service, then she has had double the time of Senator Obama in the Senate, ( but you know, he is a man and all.. must be something like dog years) I read the "what the hell does a First Lady have to offer" argument all over the internets, well, nothing, if you are a carpet enabler like the current one. ( really, Laura, I'm sure you are a lovely person, but dose down on the xanax a little bit, three or four a day should be enough).
All the talking heads were all about how Hillary CAN NOT get the delegates to win the convention, with out the superdelegates. True, BUT ! Neither can Senator Obama... yes, he is very much in the lead, but Neither can get to the finish. Why are we not hearing the choirs of " HE CAN'T WIN" like we are from her? 
An interesting piece in the NYT this morning, on race and Obama. What is "black", how black is black , etc... ( Tiger Woods is like as black as I am.. intresting...). The article asks " how much having an  african american wife helps him identify to the general population as black" I wonder how different it would be if is white Kansasian mother were still alive and at his side?
One more  thing from Georgie Boy this morning. HE made the rare admission that he was , of course, so much more than the detached reporter (!) during the Clinton years in the White House, coming to Hillarys defense over nafta. Just a rare thing these days, I do believe there are still lots of ill feelings between them. I had such a crush on him, and now I have a HUGE one on his wife.
