I just finished reading a mystery by Richard Lockridge copyright 1974 I found in a second hand bookstore in Vermont. The story is still good and the politics, about Nixon area communications regulations are surprisingly relevant. I am amazed at how casually everyone smokes (even thought there are references to how bad it is for you) and drinks (mostly gin martinis. And the news comes one once a day on TV. No 24 hour coverage. A tiny glimpse into a time passed. I have always liked Lockridge (at one time the Lockridges because he wrote with his wife, Frances, in the beginning. Maybe before she died?) in part because there are always cats around.

So I join the millions of bloggers out there. It is July 26, the Red Sox lost last night and I’m thinking about politics.
Can anyone explain why Obama is getting grief from some for not being specific enough during his recent Middle East and Eurpopean trip? If he had offered specific solutions, he would be accused of making foreign policy. There is a fine line between acting like a President and acting Presidential. He needed to avoid the former and do the latter and I think he succeeded.
