Barack Obama urged Democratic party leaders to give the Florida and Michigan convention delegates full voting power at this month's convention. How hard to take must that be for Florida Dems like Congresswoman Corrine Brown? She has been yelling for just that from the get-go and whats more she was a Hillary Clinton supporter. Full Florida and Michigan delegations with full voting power could have changed the game. Ouch.
Happy birthday to Illinois Senator Barack Obama who turns 47 today (Aug. 4). He is in Boston where Harry Connick, Jr. sang "Happy Birthday" to him. For the senator's sake I hope it was from across the room and in front of many other people. Is there anything more awkward than being sung to?
Arizona Senator John McCain also has a birthday this month. Senator McCain turns 72 on August 29th. He spent part of his day today at the big motorcycle rally thing in Sturgis, SD. I know Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd and REO Speedwagon are performing there this week but have no knowledge if any of the bands sang an early "Happy Birthday" to him. If they did, I hope it was from across the room and in front of many other people.
McCain trolling for the tattoo and leather vote got me wondering: Would Americans vote for a president who had a tattoo? Has any US president ever had a tattoo?
The website vanishingtattoo.com claims Teddy Roosevelt had a tattoo of his family crest in an "unknown location."
The same page lists Portia De Rossi as having a small ring tattoo on her middle finger and Gavin Rossdale having the name of his dog "Winston" tattooed on the inside of his left wrist.
What would be the reaction if a sitting US president got his/her first tattoo while in office? For starters I guess it would technically be the "first tattoo". I think it might be kind of cool.
