In short_it’s gotten OLD. <BR/><BR/>The Internet is proving to be a REAL game-changer!..one that the “elites” never saw coming. <BR/><BR/>And we now have a President that the media can’t quite figure out or control. President “O” really does dance to the tune of a different drum. He’s got his own mind, his own playbook, his own beat and rhythm. He’s not a reactionary. He’s cool. And most importantly, he’s a 21st century forward thinking man.<BR/><BR/>Now on a different note_I had to share this:<BR/><BR/>Ben Smith from Politico posted:<BR/><BR/>[Steele appears to cast congressional GOP as greedy "mice" [UPDATED] 3-11-09<BR/><BR/>Excerpt:<BR/><BR/>In Cal Thomas's column today, GOP Chairman Michael Steele appears to suggest, in colorful terms, that unnamed congressional Republican critics are greedy, "mice" angry at him only because he's cut off access to the RNC war chest -- though a Steele aide denied the implication.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Steele said he is in stage TWO of a two-stage process to reform and transform the Republican Party.<BR/><BR/>He won't reveal details, because, "The mice who are scurrying about the Hill are upset because they no longer have access to the cheese, so they don't know what's going on."]<BR/><BR/>HUH?!<BR/><BR/>Okay so if Steele is in “stage TWO of a two-stage process to reform and transform the Republican Party” _WHEN, did “stage ONE” take place? _or more specifically, WHAT, pray tell, constituted stage One?!<BR/><BR/>Was it Steele’s ascendance to the RNC Chair?<BR/><BR/>Or his dissing of _then Very public beat down by_Rush?<BR/><BR/>I'm just asking???Truthizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955523196532537947noreply@blogger.com
