Week of Dramz

It's been a controversial week for Obama. He's remained silent on the whole Gay Marriage thing. Though he has previously stated he is against it (as a christian) the fact he is now being repeatedly and solidly quoted by the 'opposite marriage' community is making his position both awkward and uncomfortable as it is kinda unclear what his, well, current stance really is.

The prez has also had various troubles nominating his cabinet and administrative posts, with obvious examples of obstructionism getting in the way. The latest? His pick to run the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel - Dawn Johnsen. The system is so backlogged with blocks to Obama's nominations that the Seante Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has suggested he simply cannot push through Johnsen's nomination.

Final controversy is possibly the worst. Obama has done a total 180 on the release of Iraq abuse pictures, choosing to block the release of the photos of abuse of prisoners in Iraq by US soldiers. The issue here, btw, is not that this is the wrong thing to do but the fact that it is the second time in a week Obama has gone against his own policy.

On a lighter note the Correspondents Dinner took place in DC this week with the great and good of Hollywood making the pilgrimage to attend the first of these dinners to be held by Obama. The man himself garnered giggles when commenting on Michelles 'right to bare arms'. She looked fabulous on the night
