Oh come on -- get the stick out of your ass. Geez. It was a beautifully written piece. What do you know about writing. Idiot. - Dave Winer

@Jeff - exactly!!! - George Smith

Great piece - Miranda Richardson

"Uppity"? Please. One of the great failings of the Obama PR machine is the attempt to cast all criticism of Obama as racist. Thankfully that didn't stick the way they so clearly wanted it to. - Soulhuntre

God help us if Obama actually wins (hope he does) -- then every little criticism of the President is going to be rebutted how you wouldn't say that if he was white. Fuck. Now I wish the Republicans had nominated someone I wouldn't hate myself for voting for! (Just kidding, never would happen.) - Dave Winer

Conclusion: Hubris is something even black people need to watch out for. - Dave Winer

Soulhuntre, you can't blame that on the Obama PR machine -- these guys here are just random Internet Idiots, not part of some vast Left Wing Conspiracy. - Dave Winer

This is the endgame of Political Correctness - a protected class of "victims" immune from criticism or unapproved commentary. - Soulhuntre

Personally, I'm happy someone in this country is acting "Presidential". Someone sure as hell needs to. :) - Malevolent Robot

I like Obama, but if he continuous like this, imagine when he IS the president (if he wins off course!) - Fernando

Well, maybe I don't know writing like a biting wit such as yourself ("Idiot"! How brilliant!) but I still know a hack when I see one. Where is the substance in this article Dave? He calls Obama arrogant for putting together a team to transition into the White House when this is common practice (Reagan put his team together much sooner, so did Clinton). He quotes criticism from "The Atlantic and New Republic. Wow! Call me an idiot if it makes you happy but Milbank does nothing but grasp straws here. - Jeff Jones

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ The right wing talking points come out and Milbank dutifully jots them down., What's new? - Jeff Jones

I don't think it's beautifully written but it's definitely funny. - Rick Powell

DAMN! How much cake did you EAT? :-) - Jeff Garlick

Oh, come on, V. I know working with me was a thrilling experience for you, but there's really no need to start copping my style. - Lon Harris from twhirl

This is what happens when you game all day! (V, you might want to cut back on the birthday cakes.. hehe) - Daynah

that's so hot. - Jeff McCord from twhirl

But she's got such a great personality! Really. - Alex von Halem from twhirl

I thought Pinkberry was fat free :) - Grant

Oh, hey! That's where all the views are coming from! - Randy

This is Veronica before she goes into full-berserker She-Hulk mode. - Jericho

I know I love those damn glasses - have you seen the cover of Ebony? - R. Ferguson

for the record - the solider don't hurt the eyes either....LOL - R. Ferguson

I am lmao @Ruth and Cecily and agreeing on both counts. - Cheryl

um yeah. what cecily said. that looks like a scene from the next hot action flick. - tiffany

Ruth, I live in Vancouver, Canada. Now where am I going to find an issue of Ebony in this town? :D - cecily

@ Cecily ... is Vancouver that "vanilla"? I would hate to think you can't find a copy of Ebony there. - James

Essence, and any variety of hip hop magazine: check. Ebony or Jet? Nein. - cecily

@ Cecily .... that's very curious missing the big two ... but at least Essence. - James

Am I the only one who thought "The Matrix" with those sunglasses? - Jason Carreira

Meh, Essence these days is Cosmo dipped in chocolate with a soupcon of spirituality thrown in. It bores me - but at least I get to see nice hairstyles on black women. - cecily

Oh you guys are so right - it does look like a scene from some great spy flick with President Obama personally flying in to save the day....OK enough fantasying for the day. - R. Ferguson

I hope we'll see more of this kind of API compatibility (or "standard APIs") for a bunch of other useful things in the near future. - Jerome Paradis

Excellent observations. Will it impact mobile device development? Mobile pricing &/or service offerings? - Scott Moskowitz
