AP has a glowing report on Bill Burton, deputy White House Press Secretary standing in for Gibbs, highlighting, among other attributes, his racial heritage ("Burton - like Obama, the son of a black father and white mother - appears to be the first African-American to take the podium and speak on behalf of the president").
And this is one of the remarks he told the reporters yesterday of our dear leader and his family and entourages vacationing on Martha's Vineyard:
"This will probably get me fired, but I know that Valerie (Jarrett, a senior presidential adviser) did not do so well in Scrabble against the president."
And the reporters must have laughed or chuckled, an obligatory gesture. Scrabble.
Dow Jones Industrial Average is breaching the psychological support of 10,000 today. New home sales hit the record low in July.

I believe Biden's comment was out of context:
"No doubt that we're moving in the right (GOP) direction come November!"
Haha, funny, Mr. VP.
But alas, he was talking about the economy.
From the link in my post:
Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was "no doubt we're moving in the right direction."
I gotta believe he is speaking the truth, and the right direction for him and the ruling class is very much different from that for the rest of us. Like 180-degree different.
