Barack Obama...speech at UN unpresidential? Swipes @ Bush unprecedented...




Bright and early this morning, Barack Obama strode to a podium in New York City to elucidate his thoughts on the world political and social scenes for the first time at the United Nations assembly.

To many, The U.S. President's speech - which tended to split hairs and stress the differences between the George W. Bush regime and that of his own over the past nine months - was unpresidential.

Critics argued that America's dirty laundry should not be aired on the world stage.

In sum, they underscored that it was a speech tailor-made for American voters, not for our allies abroad.

I am in accord.

The President's subtle references to North Korea and Iran (and  the political inferences) also failed to sit right with pundits and politicians alike.

Why?

Because the Prez's sly (self-serving) action was unprecedented!

In the final analysis, the occasion allowed the opportunity for President Barack Obama to reach out - be heard, if you will -  near and far.

Did he touch anyone?

News at 11!

Free Iran...news alert! Protestors at Federal Building...Feb 8th


Just a short while ago, I was cruising along Wilshire Boulevard when I spied a rag-tag band of protestors in front of the Federal Building waving signs excitedly to motorists passing by.

In bold-faced type one screamed out the following message:

"Free Iran".

Another made a plea.

"Democracy for Iran."

Why is it that activists on the trail of their cause always park themselves down in front of the Federal Building?

Are they in the dark about the fact the FBI holds sway on the top two levels of that high-security Government facility?

Unfortuately, the traffic was so hectic in Westwood, that I was unable to scoot from the inside lane over to the side of the road to snatch up a flier or at least have a brief chat with one of the organizers.

I expect there will be a report on the news tonight or in the dailies, tomorrow.

Free Iran?

Yeah, and while you're at it - free the nuclear bombs - too!
