HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
Today, President Barack Obama returns from a one day trip to Camp David - his daughter Malia turns 11 today and yesterday she had a party with twenty of her girl friends at the presidential retreat. Picnicking on the White House lawn with staff and military families is on the agenda tonight as well as watching the fireworks.
--------------------
Will Sanford follow Palin out the door? - yesterday, Governor Sarah Palin announced she would be resigning as Governor.
In case you missed it, you can watch her speech here.
I watched the entire announcement last night on MSNBC and it was totally disjointed and filled with poorly used basketball jargon and a ridiculous reference to a statement used by General MacArthur during WWII. Hard to see how this prepares her for a run for the Republican nomination for president in 2012. I also found myself laughing throughout as I was constantly reminded of Tina Fey. Reuters.com has more on her planned resignation here.
Another Republican presidential hopeful for 2012, S.C. Governor Mark Sanford is coming under intense pressure from colleagues to resign from office after his admission of a dalliance with a woman from Argentina. Politico.com has more here. "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" comes to mind.
--------------------
Yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden met with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Malicki in Baghdad - mostly a show of support of the U.S. government amid the withdraw of U.S. troops from cities and towns in Iraq. TheHill.com has more here.
--------------------
North Korea continues to tweak the West by test firing short range missiles - hard to figure the reason as the seven missiles fell into the Sea of Japan, less than 300 miles from where they were launched. Time.com has more here.
