In the town where I was born
I was movin' to a beat
That I'd never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written 'cross the sky
The revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:00:35 -0500Apparently HBO is removing all those video excerpts of yesterday’s concert at the Lincoln Memorial. I’m no copyright expert, but I really wish someone would go ahead and post clips on their blog or other website, then get HBO to defend the idea that they own a public concert given on federal property in the [...]

To that end, we have created interim email addresses where you will be able to email us, which can be found below. Any message sent to these accounts could be forwarded to White House accounts and subject to the Presidential Records Act."
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:31:11 -0500Jill Biden told Oprah Winfrey that her husband "had his pick of being Barack Obama's running mate or the secretary of state nomination that eventually went to Hillary Rodham Clinton, a slip that the vice president-elect immediately tried to shush," the AP reports.
"'Joe had the choice to be secretary of state or vice president,' she said. Her husband turned to his wife with his finger to his lips and a 'Shhhh!' that sent the audience into laughter. 'OK, he did,' Jill Biden said in her defense."
"The vice president-elect blushed, grimaced and gave his wife a hug while the audience continued to erupt in laughter. 'That's right,' he finally said to his wife. 'Go ahead.'"
A Biden spokesman later denied he was offered any job other than vice president.
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:02:52 -0500At some points there will be stuff to make fun of about Obama. There always is, when it comes to presidents.
