That's what happens when you start talking about the Patriot Act.

Obama is very cool, it has to be said.

Paul Keating was talking about him on TV the other night and mentioned the time when Obama was heard to mention over an open mic in Germany(?)that it was important to have time to think.
He went to school in Indonesia, at least for a while.

Of course, I was referring to this:

The Obama/Osama Ashcroft clip was interesting to me in that he was at a college discussing the Patriot Act. Last year he appeared at the rather conservative small college where I used to teach, and my son and some of his high school classmates went to the talk. I heard from them and others that Ashcroft was exceedingly agitated, impatient and combative whenever anyone brought up any concerns regarding the Patriot Act. It seems to be a very sore point for him. According to two students quoted in the school paper ( http://bachelor.wabash.edu/issues/2007s/complete322.pdf )
"Kyle Cassidy 08 and Chris Serak 08 attended the event but came away unfulfilled. Ashcroft seemed unwilling to answer tough questions, and was instead more interested in pandering to the conservative audience, said Serak. Generally the speech was uninformative, lack luster, and dumbed down. I expected a much more intellectual discussion.
Cassidy thought it was pretty bland. All motherhood and apple pie and 9/11 without much reasoning as to why these things necessitate tossing out the Constitution, said Cassidy. His responses to questions at the speech and in Prof. Himsels class indicated that he was more thuggishness than competence. He relied more on
bullying than on conversance with the facts in his answers."

Your son was lucky that he didn't sing "And the Eagle Soars"....I think that is the name of the song he wrote and sings when he gets half a chance.
This is the end of the thread.
