14. I can provide you a Hello Kitty icon for the flag.
I got a new icon...my 4 year old picked it out. She demanded Hello Kitty.
By the way, I had no idea VP's had their own flag. You learn something new everyday.

8. describes the chances for an energy bill as "excellent!"
... and then stops and smiles .... at which point Gibbs says, "Next question!" .... everyone laughs.

Biden goes on to say that "anyone who thinks they can predict whether or not the Senate can pass legislation has never worked in the Senate..." then goes on to say "there's a good chance we're gonna get a solid bill" thanks to John Kerry and others.

12. Weird that Obama and Biden praise Kerry, but their supporters
(not all) are so disappointed in Kerry and the bill (mainly because Lieberman's name is attached to it and there is a dislike of Kerry that goes back to a few years). JMO.

Unlike some who claim to care about this issue, here is hoping that Obama/Biden can help twist some arms in the Senate to get this passed. :)

9. lol after being begged to comment on Barton.....
.... he hesitates for a while as to whether he should say something .... smiles, rubs his forehead and says, "I think what he said was INCREDIBLY insensitive ..." goes on to say that an entire way of life is in jeopardy for the people in the Gulf .... says people should disassociate themselves with Barton's comment.

Then he starts to feel his oats and his voice rises saying the comments were OUTRAGEOUS! .... says BP was cooperative in the meeting ..... says the President told BP to take care of the people of the Gulf NOW! Because they needed help NOW!

"an astounding comment"

10. Thanks for the updates...
Clio, I'm not watching...my son is watching From Paris with Love, so I appreciate your updates.

Wouldn't it be great if the VP would speak his mind on Barton...uncensored. I think that would be great, and imagine the tee shirts that could/would be made. :-)

11. lol, when he was immediately asked.....
... Gibbs reached over to the mic and tapped it to (jokingly) remind him it was on .... as if to remind the VP to watch his mouth lol
