It made me think of this.
Wouldst thou have men speak good of thee? Speak good of them. And when thou hast learned to speak good of them, try to do good unto them, and thus thou will reap in return their speaking good of thee.

Go see Treacher's little photo essay on this- I'm guessing you'll like it.

Oh. My. Lord.
ReplyDeleteMan, that's funny.
One less blog post I have to do, because you and Treacher have done it sooner and better than I could have.
ReplyDeleteIt is telling, though. The photo that is.
All I have to say is someone at the White House Press Office enjoys making the man look bad, and Obama is helping that person out...
ReplyDeleteThe second picture on the whitehouse.gov site (of Obama and Biden in shirtsleeves and the guests in coats), after a few seconds of thought isn't so bad. I can well believe that both of the guests would have declined to take off their coats, and Obama is famous for not wearing his coat.
Obama is the prow of our ship, always looking and leading forward, He doesn't need to look back.
