Gah, I couldnā€™t imagine being up to my elbows in the political cesspool that is the EU capitol.

So much bureaucratic dead weight and sinecures.

I deleted Politico from my favorites list years ago and havenā€™t been back. No regrets either.

I think he was hitting on all cylinders today. This is the man I voted for twice. Not perfect, but damned smart.

Concur.

And Obamaā€™s snark in answering this reporter would not be understood by the average POLITICO reader, who would think that he was making a compliment.

Win-Win!!!

Obama needs to be kept around for the next Democratic administration, possibly as press secretary.
He kills with kindness and doesnā€™t need to BS because he knows the truth. Toss in his sense of humor and voila, possibly the first press sec to go two full terms.

Jokeā€™s on O and Bud ā€¦ from Wikipedia

What is known in North America as the ā€˜Belgian waffleā€™ does not exist in Belgium.

The article does go on to mention that ā€œBelgianā€ waffles are a simplified version of Brussels waffles, debuted by a native Brusselonian, Maurice Vermersch, at Expo 58, and popularized at the next two Expos in the States. But the only worthy Belgian waffles in the States are in Cincinnati ā€¦ and they come with chicken and hot sauce!

Doesnā€™t change the fact that the waffles there are delicious.

Itā€™s really fun to watch him give a press conference. If you noticed only women were chosen to ask the questions. Smart move.
