~WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama praised a comedian Wednesday for organizing a "Rally to Restore Sanity," saying it may help instill more "courtesy" in American political life.
The president, speaking in Richmond, Virginia, tacitly welcomed US comic Jon Stewart's plan for the rally, a thinly veiled dig at right-wing US icon Glenn Beck's "Restore America" march on Washington's grassy esplanade known as the National Mall last month.
I was amused," Obama said of The Daily Show host's rally, an all-day event scheduled for October 30, as an effort for people who expect common sense and courtesy in daily interactions.~
The SOG City Oracle will be in attendance. We wouldn't miss this one for anything. It will be interesting to see if a comedian can out draw a right wing hypocritical gasbag. Besides, D.C. has a plethora of delectable dining spots and we live to eat.
See you on the Mall!
