Its Friday afternoon. I’m leaving in a bit to head to the mountains for the weekend with a friend and I don’t feel like posting today. That being said, I came across two good articles on RealClearPolitics that were written by two Washington authors (one from the WSJ one from the Post) which I thought were worth passing on for reading today.

The first by Kimberley Strassel of the WSJ, takes a look at the magic act of Barack Obama in an fun and enlightening way. Note that while her editorial is light and glib, ALL of what she’s talking about is verifiable and can be confirmed with a simple search on google. Its a fun read and it does subtly point out how often times Democrats say one thing and do another.

The second article by Charles Krauthammer (who is painful to watch on TV as he seems as stiff as the tinman) of the Washington post takes a look at the importance of Obama’s Character and his associations and calls in to question whether or not this should have been brought up earlier in the campaign process (like in 2006!).

Both are good and enlightening reads and should provide some entertainment in my absence….
