Domestic Disputes

It's debate time! And poor Obama has to spend his 20th wedding anniversary to Michelle with Romney.
The candidates took the stage and the first thing I noticed was that Romney had returned to a normal human flesh color rather than being Mitt-faced orange. So at least I can take him somewhat seriously.
Jim Lehrer is moderating. I always feel bad for the moderator at a presidential debate. Coraling the candidates to stay on topic is like herding kittens. Luckily, this is not Lehrer's first time at the rodeo as this is his 12th time. Though it must be quite awkward for Mitt to have Lehrer of PBS after all his talk about cutting their funding.
Tonight is a domestic dispute. They talked about the economic crisis, healthcare, and taxes. And they did a lot of talking. Most of it very fast and a lot of it questionably factual. (Like is Donald Trump a small business?)
If you were playing a drinking game with this, some great words to have used would have been "cut" and "revenue." They went on a lot about tax issues and Romney did some of his famous flip-flopping on what his tax plan he's been talking about is. I just kept waiting to hear "read my lips no new taxes." Instead I heard that Mittens likes Big Bird. Oh good. I'm sure we'll all sleep well tonight knowing that he likes him even though he intends to fire the feathered muppet.
And when healthcare came up, Romney obviously started whining that ObamaCare was a waste of the President's time in office and that it wasn't even bipartisan. I just loved watching the smirking face of each candidate as the other one is talking.
Romney also kept bringing up the 23 million people out of work. I'm confused. I thought he didn't even care about that 47%.
Basically, I don't think this debate would change any voter's mind. And as we got to the closing remarks, I'm exhausted. Also, I'm wishing I had been playing that drinking game with this debate or that new episodes of Honey Boo Boo were still on Wednesday nights.

Four More Beers!

Well Obama has yet to get that mo-bama-hawk, but he is buying rounds of beers at pubs and state fairs and sitting and having talks with the voting public with his drink in hand. It was even confirmed by an official this week that the Obamas have their own beer made and kept in stock at the White House. The beer, named White House Honey Ale, comes in both a light and dark variety. The honey for the beer is taken from first lady Michelle Obama's garden beehive.
Who wouldn't want to sit and have a beer with the President? And that may be exactly what his campaign is thinking. Perhaps all this talk of Bama-brew is part of the President's campaigning efforts against his Republican opponent Mitt Romney, who doesn't drink for religious reasons. So if you do like a cold beer, Obama's your guy. You know what they say, "never trust a man who doesn't drink."

Mo-bama-hawk

Undoubtedly by now you heard about the adorable dude at NASA with the mohawk who worked on the Curiosity Mission Operation on Mars last week. His real name is Bobak Ferdowsi and he is a 2003 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. And since appearing on national television broadcasts of the Mars landing with his patriotic maroon-tinted mohawk with stars shaved into the side, he has become a twitterlebrity and has single handedly made science look sexier than ever.
He has even earned the respect of President Obama who gave him a shout out when calling NASA's Mars science laboratory on Monday referring to him as the "special mohwak man." The President complimented the team not only on their success and efforts with the Mars landing, but also on the improved fashion of the scientists saying "It does sound like NASA has come a long way from the white shirt, black dark-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors.You guys are a little cooler than you used to be." 
Obama then admitted that he has wanted to get a mohwak himself but his team for some reason discourages him! But with Ferdowsi's new notoriety and even marriage proposals stemming from his punky do, the President said "I think that I'm going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense." 
Yes, Obama, it would. This would be the haircut that would change everything. Not Miley Cyrus' ridiculous chopped up hair. If Obama got the mohawk he always wanted it would be a game changer for the election, I guarantee it. Especially when it comes to rallying the young voters that were so inspired and enthusiastic about this man who promised change in 2008 to do that once again. This change would make him a little cooler like he used to be. Mo-bama-hawk 2012.

Can't you picture decades from now this mohawked President image printed on our dollars?
