Obama should visit Oklahoma

Obama should visit Oklahoma, talk to the CIA and woo more Republicans

As any new president takes office, attention is lavished on the question of what "tone" he will set in the capital city. George W Bush, you may recall, vowed to restore "honour and dignity" to the White House. He merely meant, of course, that he wouldn't be playing find-the-cigar with any interns on its premises, not that he would be truthful with the American people about matters like, oh, the grounds for starting a war.

Bush promised also that he would bring a new tenor of bipartisanship to the politically stricken capital. He would work across the aisle and govern from the compassionately conservative middle, which he did, perhaps two or three times in his entire eight years. For the most part, Bush's was the most remorselessly and extremely ideological administration in decades.

Barack Obama promised to change all that. They all do. But one senses that Obama actually believes it. Postpartisanship has been one of his calling cards ever since his famous keynote address at the Democratic convention in 2004, when he said there is no blue America or red America but a United States of America, a sentence he repeated often along the trail. In addition, he has given two very high-profile cabinet positions to men presumed to be Republicans, Robert Gates and James Jones.

He may be pretty, but his acting....tends to make you forget the dialog!

I think they are right - Obama SHOULD go to Oklahoma - and see if he can find any "waving wheat"!!!

Lou Gossett addressing one of the enlisted men:

Where you from, boy?

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, sir.

Only two things come out of Oklahoma.

Steers and queers.

Which one are you, boy?

I don’t see no horns.

You must be a #######.

No, sir.

Yes it was Texas, I think a seen that film a 100 times. Definitely a classic alright.. For some reason I can never get the wife to watch it with me?.. Then again my taste in films (movies) include Alien, Aliens, Predator, Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Terminator all of them but not 3.. the list go's on

It's Oklahoma in An Officeer and a Gentleman. I wonder if they copied the line from FMJ?
