    Just clarifying that we're talking about him using the phrase "Stop hatin' all the time."

Mah bad, I misunderstood, but I'm clear now.

    So yeah, he's giving the media something to talk about him over. That's his job, and he did it well.

It's A+ reality TV. But is that what we've reduced the role of presidency to? At this point in Obama's stint, I'd say yes.

Pardon me, I'm feeling extra cynical today. Cynical enough to streak alongside you, scowling, while my nuts taste the salty breeze of Manhattan's polluted humidity.
