"[T]he first literary goal of an inaugural address is to express familiar American ideals without resorting to distracting clichés. And Obama generally failed this test. There were too many 'rising tides' and 'gathering clouds' and 'raging storms' and 'nagging fears' and 'dark chapters' and 'watchful eyes' and 'dying campfires' and 'icy currents.' Wages had to be 'decent,' and markets 'spin out of control.' It is simply mysterious how such tired language could sound appropriate to the ear of Obama the writer." --columnist Michael Gerson

Re: "And now, obama wants to remove the White House bowling alley and replace it with a basketball court... that is disrespectful to Truman...."

You have GOT to be kidding with that one!

(Besides... I doubt that Truman is going to be using the bowling alley anytime soon. <GGG>)
