All has been quiet in the world of Moby. Recently, he posted a blog on his website on his opinions of President Obama:
"Someone asked me recently, ‘after 18 months, how do you feel about Obama as president?’
My answer was, and is, ‘eh, he’s ok’. He’s not a great president, but nor is he a bad president. He seems like an ok president.
The problem really is not what type of president he is, but rather that we live in an age of 24 hour news cycles and myriad news sources and they live off of drama. Saying ‘President Obama is doing an ok job’ isn’t dramatic. Saying ‘THE BP OIL SPILL!! IS THIS OBAMA’S KATRINA???’ or ‘IS OBAMA A MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER???’ is dramatic. And so the cable news networks report the news in a way that is egregiously distorted and overly dramatic. Again, saying ‘politicians in Washington are working on health care reform’ isn’t dramatic. Saying ‘IS OBAMA A SOCIALIST??? IS OBAMA GOING TO KILL SENIOR CITIZENS????’ is dramatic."
Yes President Obama may have inherited a war (among other things) from President Cheney and his retarded flunky Bush, but what he should have done is focus on jobs and helping the poor and middle class instead of focusing on the banks first. Also with Rahm Emmanuel stepping down yesterday, it's about to get worse for the democrats. I don't want to get into my political views on here at the moment, but I'll get more into that on the "Whores of Avalon" radio show.
