Legacy Journal:  Thursday Thoughts: Twitter, Triathlons for Horses, and Obama One on Tour

Section:

Commentary

Summary:

“Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend itself”  D. Cal. Senator, Dianne Feinstein.

*  Twitter seems to be a kind of miniblog for quick social networking for device packing mobile professionals who expect instant access to ....?

**  Eventing at venues like the recent Stewart Equestrian Trials in western upstate New York, on the other hand, is basic athletic competition.  Dressage, Cross Country, and Stadium Jumping are the three classic events spread over three days.  That level of horse and rider interaction is the real deal. Animated mustang cartoon fantasy fiction like Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron out of Dream Works by Hollywood, is at best misleading, at worst, childish. The stock characterization of pure wild mustangs,  pristine noble natives, and profoundly evil wranglers, cavalrymen and railroad builders is standard drivel.

***  Stock characterization and standardized drivel has been the story of the early U.S. national campaign to date.  The pace will quicken after the party conventions.

Main:

The Obama camp may use Twitter, but do not expect to see the campaign abandon the jet, O one , for time on horse back any time soon.  Meanwhile, the candidate is taking a quickie course in geopolitics , international security, and global trade.  Attempts to correct and clarify misstatements ( “poor choice of words) on Jerusalem, the recent success of the U.S. military in Iraq, and an over simplification of American interests in the Middle East are not reassuring to those who have long worked these and other issues.
