And in President Bush's front yard ...
Some days, the White House must feel like a prison to those living there. But the bars displayed here are ...
... part of the barriers and fences being erected around a construction site:
Crews are about to begin work on the heated, security-enhanced reviewing stand from which the next president will watch the inaugural parade.
For the moment, though, the view of the White House from Lafayette Park is unobstructed, in this essay -- autumnal by hue and by political calendar -- by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Ron Edmonds.

Funny how that White House resembles a torture chamber at Guantanamo Bay, although Gitmo is reserved for non-American untermenschen.

John McCain still has NOT released HIS medical records for full review!
With the very high probability that his Melanoma could have returned his refusal to release his medical records is a cause to worry that he is hiding something.
Palin is unfit to lead this country if McCain were to die in his first term.
