Some yes. But the mose weight would have to go to ability to run the military since that is the Presidents and Federal Governments number 1 job. - ChiliMac via twhirl
Funny, I thought it was to defend and uphold the constitution... - John Worthington via fftogo
@John Worthington: Article 2 Section 2 of our Constitution spells out the Presidential powers. The first one is Commander in Chief. - ChiliMac
Indeed, I must have been confused cause in Article 2 Section 1 "Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."" I guess it's Powers vs Job Description... - John Worthington
I think I would prefer a president who doesn't spend four hours a day on FriendFeed - Bob Stemen via twhirl
he doesn't how how many houses he owns. and no, that isn't an old argument. it's fact. - ::Kristen::
@Kristen - He doesn't own any. His wife owns them. Again, I hope a president has more important things to worry about that how many houses his wife owns - Bob Stemen via twhirl
FriendFeed would be good. I would be more worried he'd discover Solitaire. - Robert Scoble
Bob, who is running for President that is on FriendFeed? - PC Easy via twhirl
Attackign people for being sucessful ultimately doesn't fly. The class war stuff playes well to the far left but utterly fails in the middle. - Soulhuntre via twhirl
nobody I hope! sorry that was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek jab at Scoble's comment about McCain not using a computer. Next time I WILL remember the emoticon - Bob Stemen via twhirl
I'm glad he's told it so many times. Otherwise, I might forget about it. - Nathaniel Payne
I respect him for it too..... again .... and again .... and again .... and again.... - Chris Reed
one can talk about the past so much. everything out of his mouth was bland and generic - Cee Bee
it's the last thing you should honor about dude. he's been riding that story for 30 years and all week. what's he gonna do?? - Baratunde Thurston via twhirl
I guess this is payback for all the bullshit about Palin right after the DNC closed. You fuck with me, I fuck you back. I like it when Dems kick Repub ass. - Dave Winer
i just hope Obama doesn't lose his cool with O'Reilly. that said, can someone from MSNBC push McCain like Tucker Bounds got pushed on CNN? http://bit.ly/4h2tBW - ~C4Chaos
Are you kidding? Obama has ice in blood. The most they'll get is him brushing his shoulders. He's smile and read his talking points and it won't seem like he's reading talking points. Meantime we'll all be flipping back and forth to McCain and watch him looking sick and nervous knowing how high the stakes are and worrying that he's going to fuck up (which will make him fuck up). - Dave Winer
@Dave Winer: yeah, Obama is generally cool. but there was a time during the primary when he almost lost his coolness with Hillary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - so who knows. can you keep your cool when you've got someone like O'Reilly pushing your buttons? i just hope that Obama doesn't f*ck this up. victory is in sight. the Palin thing, as i expected, is turning into a nightmare. - ~C4Chaos
