Splish-splash everyone! Maybe he'll bring his "friends" to BBQ and play slap ass. I bet he gave Rupert an invite and Rupert had to think about coming down off his cross for this RNC bash.

Remember, Shrub will be vindicated by history and seen as the greatest president ever (well at least since Pierce).

Having spent over half my life now in the US, on recent trips back to the UK I've been mistaken for being wholly American but never suffered because of it in the slightest. The Brits have a "socialist" streak that I guess is due to being a small island nation that "sinks or swims together" so despite the shift from dogmatic socialism in the past few decades, the parliament and the people seem to maintain a sustainable balance of political power--there's too much turbulent history for either side to ignore. When Brits actually protest it's usually time for the government to pay attention.

As a veteran of protests in another decade, the landscape has drastically changed. I'm not sure what would really wake the sheeple at this point. In fact, I'm not aware of any organized protests anywhere in the USA for quite awhile now. Will it be $5/gal gasoline? Will it be massive flooding with no Federal relief? Will it be $10/lb. rice? I'd like to think that Obama can 'harness' enough support to drill right into these issues upon assuming the Presidency, but reality tells me to not hold my breath. satirev, #22, well said, indeed.
