A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Tonight 8pm EDT, the Prez is going to update us on how he’s earning that Nobel Peace Prize, one war at a time. Finally. Thank the Lord.
President Obama will address the nation from the Oval Office regarding the end of the U.S. combat mission in Iraq. Immediately following the President’s remarks, Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications will answer questions directly from Americans across the country. Ben speaks on Air Force One in the video above. He’s totally cute and cuddly like any guy who hangs out with tough, no-nonsense and no-sassback military dudes and dudettes all day long would be. Seriously though, he seems like the type of guy who will endeavor to answer your questions clearly and as forthrightly as possible. If you’re a vet or a military family member, I especially hope you will ask a question.
Consider this an Open Thread on the President’s Speech and Ben Rhodes’ response…
