3. he just said that Bradley Manning was being handled 'appropriately'...
...and he has being held according to the requirements of his condition...or words to those effects...

In other words, "move along, nothing more to see here"...

4. Pres. being pressed on Libya, he's filibustering - long rambling answers. Not much news so-far.
Internet here so slow it's driving me crazy. Must go get some things done.

8. Watching on CNN..
Now, during the Q&A, CNN picture shows Obama from the chest up.. a close up.. but during his speech the camera angle was further back and the perspective made Obama look dominished.

He looked so much smaller than the US flag beside him, more like a pretender to the Presidency....wonder if anyone else noticed.

All other TV channels that I checked had the larger, more presidential, image of Pres Obama.

throttle him... smack some sense into him. sigh....... It isn't easy to be an Obama supporter right now. His comment on Manning really depressed me.

14. Oh, see 90% of 'real democrats' support Obama. They just had stuff to do last November.

They're probably just too busy 'supporting Obama' to deal with blogging. It's all good. You'll see.
