The Windy City

I have heard Chicago is windy for several reasons...the lake wind, the wind between the skyscrapers and the corruption and scandal with Chicago politics. In reading Game Change, the winds shift faster here than they do in a hurricane. As of today, I am back at a rough spot for Obama. He is doing horribly at debates. This is more of the Obama I remember from reading and watching as the election drew nearer. I feel as though he always stumbled...and sure enough, this book proves it. His first licking from Hillary was in Las Vegas, Nevada. Funny how his problem was on Health Care Reform...seems it is still his problem today. Hillary was able to eat her way out of anything just like I can eat red velvet cake. She was a smooth talker and knew all the answers at debates. She made him look like a fledgling...which he was. And he still is in some ways...but who can recover after George Bush? Seriously. I think he is doing a good job with what he can do. And...getting a Nobel Peace Prize for "Change." So, anyway, Hillary is totally knocking the crap out of him. She is taking everything by storm. Obama knows it, too, and it intimidates him. It makes him antsy and as the book says...bratty...a lot. Michelle was not around a lot with the kids, so that was when he really showed out. It was not until the one day a week she said she would be on the road with him that he acted civilized. They said she wasn't around enough....haha. So, he was a grump. His staff finally had to have an intervention for his bitchyness and his horrible skills and lack of knowledge. He knew it was coming. It was no surprise to him. Michelle did not even like having to watch him in debates because it was so nerve racking to watch him have to crawl out of a hole. So, this is where I am today. Inevitably, tomorrow I will get to a part where he is back on top and Hillary is back on the bottom.

Speaking of wind...we have had a lot of wind and rain here today. In fact, the wind was so bad it blew the "L" off of our Barnes and Noble sign on the top of the store. HAHAHA! It is now downstairs in our receiving office. I left my window open like an idiot, too, tonight and my bed was wet when I got home and all of my books have crinkled pages. Time to iron it all out.

Well, off to bed. I open Barnes in the morning. UGH. Thanks for the clopen.
