I know, I know...anyone could predict that. BUT I SAID IT FIRST!

I'm betting he turns out to be the SNL spoof this weekend.

Different context.

One of the Best EVER...RIP Mr. Mandela. One of my heroes.

Not Cheneys though - he voted against Mandela's release from prison.

Obama will speak shortly..

It is heartbreaking that he has passed on...while Darth Cheney lives on with another person's heart. Almost an insult to humanity.

Dunno what he'll do.

and referencing the Gipper / Tip relationship every chance he gets plus some he doesn't.

He has a habit of doing this to Democrats when he wants to look "tough".

(and push his book). And he will imply they should have a drink at night together or something like that.

This seems to have been his thing for the last two months, so we can guess he will ask him again today.

Mandela just stole his thunder

had more political skill in his little finger than John Boehner does in his entire body."

*mic drop, moonwalk off stage*

Then he'll talk about meeting JFK.

True!

But things could change due to Mandela's passing.

I hope Tweety reminds Obama that Cheney was one of four ReTHUGs who coted against Mandela bing released from prison.

and he'll spray spittle all over him.

last night. Why not hammer home a jobs action similar to FDR's WPA program. I also wish the President would do something along these lines.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs an executive order creating the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA was just one of many Great Depression relief programs created under the auspices of the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which Roosevelt had signed the month before. The WPA, the Public Works Administration (PWA) and other federal assistance programs put unemployed Americans to work in return for temporary financial assistance. Out of the 10 million jobless men in the United States in 1935, 3 million were helped by WPA jobs alone.
...WPA workers built highways, schools, hospitals, airports and playgrounds. They restored theaters--such as the Dock Street Theater in Charleston, S.C.--and built the ski lodge at Oregon's Mt. Hood. The WPA also put actors, writers and other creative arts professionals back to work by sponsoring federally funded plays, art projects, such as murals on public buildings, and literary publications.

That would be great.

First giggle since I heard Mandela died.

I feel confident Obama can answer any and all hardball questions thrown at him from anyone. In fact President Obama will end up straightening out any curve ball hardball questions thrown at him. I look forward to this interview.

I'm not even sure that the interview will take place today. Mandela's death is the big story today.

My take

but he did do a wrap-around lead-up.

Tweety is skillful and he covered his traps by saying it would be Mandela coverage again following this.

Tweety just said so on Rev Al

and his own budget seeking to cut Social Security. He will fail to point out the contradictions between the President's pretty rhetoric about inequality and his continuing, aggressive corporate assaults on the 99 percent.

"pretty rhetoric about inequality"

You're delusional.

Good question on ReTHUGs and voting rights.

The thing with Tweety is that he does respect both Obama and the Presidency. He knows this is a big night and i really being professional so far. 30 minutes to go - let's see.

and be the man on top, in control tellin' the Prezzy off. *thump chest.

and Obama will bust his pathetic ass in that ninja assassin way he has, while smiling.

He's in his element with his pope and the President's speech.
THis is freaking delish. The wingnuts must be tearing out their hair.
ReTHUGs can kiss the catholic vote goodbye.
