Obama’s Poker Face
I’ve noticed a few folks mentioning how Obama has one heck of a poker face. After looking at the events of the past few days in hindsight, I find it very hard to disagree. The best example came last Saturday night, as he sat through this joke by SNL’s Seth Myers… Note that laughing smile [...]

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2010/04/obama-the-democats-and-gop-at-odds-over-financial-regs/1 Looks like it’s time for the next round of “Whats actually in the bill?” UPDATE: We’ll get to what’s in the bill later. One other news story that fits into this agenda (and it ain’t an accident) is the recent news of the prosecution of Goldman Sachs. Wall Street’s preeminent investment bank, Goldman Sachs, [...]
