Day367 Wednesday 08/31/11

ran 3.0 miles
Here is what happened one year ago on Day2.

One little boy wanted a blue balloon and another little boy wanted a red balloon. They fought and fought. The little boy who wanted the blue balloon called the little boy who wanted the red balloon a poopie head. The little boy who wanted the red balloon called the little boy who wanted the blue balloon a fart face. They pouted and pouted. They simply could not agree. Back and forth, they went on and on.

Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red! Blue! Red!

Back and forth they went.

Something similar to that story was in the news today. President Obama has finally chosen to announce his highly anticipated plan for creating jobs next Wednesday. But, coincidentally, he plans to air it during the Republican presidential debate taking place in California on that same night. This action is both childish and clearly divisive. Partisan brinksmanship, anyone? He is once again saying one thing and doing another.

Here is an article that describes the back and forth between the boy with the blue balloon and the boy with the red balloon. It is too ridiculous to even describe the exchanges that transpired today between Obama and Boehner. Our president was definitely the younger, less mature and ornery of the two children. Boehner was resourceful and more realistic with his arguments. That is a plus for him but it is still absurd that Barack Obama would choose the night and air time of the Republican presidential debate to release what will more than likely be an underwhelming plan for creating jobs.

990.1 miles to go.
