It's always about dogs falling into wells or a cat who dialed 911 and saved it's owner... and we get ZERO information about bombings in foreign countries or earthquakes that killed thousands of people in multiple places around the world.) American news isn't news... and I doubt it ever will be.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029777524366189599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-39567747662728005072009-01-19T16:27:00.000-06:002009-01-19T16:27:00.000-06:00Hey Emily this is Whitney Deering Vance.

So, on that count I support Obama Lovefest. But creating him into some sort of celebrity with paparazzi and all the rest, undermines the effect of connecting people with their leaders. It creates an Obama of unimportance, much like a Paris of unimportance or a Brittany of unimportance. Interesting if they act inappropriately, but with no affect on people's lives and deserving of disrespect and jokes of chuck norris proportion. He is our leader-elect. We should be interested in what he is doing, and I am personally fascinated by his personality because of the implications it could have on policy. But you are absolutely right: more policy, less celebrity. kthxbai!ndjsa;vjdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362187142427351654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-37937947080712293792009-01-18T02:20:00.000-06:002009-01-18T02:20:00.000-06:00And that is why I hate the news!And that is why I hate the news!Tyler, Thaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105426911602768575noreply@blogger.com
