Succinct Quote of the Day

Rarely has so much been made about so little!

- Robert Reich commenting on Sarah Palin's book tour on This Week.

Quotation of the Day

This quote is from the right side-bar at the bottom of this page. I thought it was apropos to bring to the top.

Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Obama, 'We Will Recover'

President Barack Obama's White House Press Conference 3/24/09

The best quote of the evening came in response to a question by Ed Henry of CNN.

Q: On AIG, why did you wait days to come out and express that outrage ...it took you days to become public with Secretary Geithner and express that outrage.

A: It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak.

In case you missed it, here is a video of Obama's speech and Q & A.
