Only because you specifically asked for a reaction and I apparently am one of a very select group of people reading this...

My reaction
I dont have the slightest idea. I dont know this man and have no intention of changing that. He's jewish (as far as I know) so I'm assuming he's zionist. Now idea if he's corrupt, or whether it's an inspired choice.
We have at least 4 years to find out.
Maybe I'll tell you after that.

Reaction: Precise move to add content and aura where little exist.

ah. richtofen: elaborate, if you will?

richtofen said...

Exactly that. Like wouter, I had the slightest idea not:-D

Neither does Obama, or anyone else - least of all the Chief of Staff.
But it all adds to speculation, hope, despair, anticipation - and the general perception of 'something' happening.

THAT sells like nothing else.

hmm... the illusion of progress. an interesting theme for the lazier sunday evenings :) i like your zen, richtofen. in all though, if i didn't already know the care and consideration you lavish upon your disdain, i'd call you cynical naysayers :)
for me, though, for now, i'm glad to be naive. 'something' IS always happening, the question is only one of direction. the hope that it's towards dawn and not deepening darkness is the greatest hallmark of the perversely optimistic (read: childishly naive). But possibly infinitely better to hope for a better future than to give up on it completely? If I believed there was no possibility of that at all, I'd quit blogging, smoke one last fag and shoot myself square between the eyes.

The disdain is but energy conserved for a long haul.
Change we need, and change we must make.
But it is going to be a long, long run.

An excerpt feels apt here :-)

"Now you have peace Hamlet you accomplished what you had to
and you have peace The rest is not silence but belongs to me
you chose the easier part an elegant thrust
but what is heroic death compared with eternal watching
with a cold apple in one’s hand on a narrow chair
with a view of the ant-hill and the clock’s dial

Adieu prince I have tasks a sewer project
and a decree on prostitutes and beggars
I must also elaborate a better system of prisons
since as you justly said Denmark is a prison
I go to my affairs This night is born
a star named Hamlet We shall never meet
what I shall leave will not be worth a tragedy"
