bmags Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) I actually hate DC a lot and think it's really overrated, but I also live here so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It's fun to see all the stuff at first. An ancestor of mine has paintings in the Smithsonian that I've wanted to see for a long time. by the way, is K street an actual street?

lostfan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, E, F, G, H, I, J, K etc just like numbered streets in Chicago except they don't go across the whole city.

Balta1701 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Link The White House folks just sent along to the Chicago Sun-Times this briefing on the White Sox visit: *The President greeted everyone individually before giving brief welcome remarks and taking a picture with the full team. * White Sox player, Octavio Dotel asked the president for a hug instead of a handshake. Mr. Dotel said, Mr. President, can I have a hug? The President then gave him a hug. The team laughed and acknowledged Octavio is the team resident comedian. *The President congratulated the White Sox on their season and encouraged them to continue winning so that he can invite them back to the White House as World Series Champions. *The President took two group pictures: One of the President with players, their wives, and managers; the second picture was taken of just the President and White Sox players. *The White Sox presented the President with a black White Sox team jersey. The team jersey has Obama and the number one written on the back of the jersey. *Mr. (David) Axelrod was given a hat with the White Sox logo and the Obama logo on it. *Prior to the meeting with the President, the White Sox were given a tour of the Grand Floor, The State Floor, and the West Wing Lobby of the White House. The team left through the East Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gates retires in a couple years, Obama should nominate Quentin to be Secretary of Defense. The Sox fan in him probably won't allow that though.

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Link Why was Owens allowed to get so close to the president? Surely "the curse" (of his ineptitude) will be passed on to Obama? I thought the Secret Service did better background checks? After he's released later this week, Obama can send him with George Mitchell to Evin Prison in Tehran to negotiate the release of Ms. Saberi, a former Miss North Dakota. There's something in the Constitution about no former Miss America or Miss USA pageant contestants being held in notorious prisons like Evin in North Tehran. Especially half Iranian, half Japanese ones. Yes, Jermaine Dye is huge, he's a legit 6'5". Would have been hilarious if Ozzie brought some tea bags just to mess with Obama...seems like something only he could get away with.
