Barack Obama's Diary: SuperMitt
Dear Diary: Seldom do I have two diary entries for one day, but Mittman has suddenly become Supermitt. He cleverly called off a scheduled visit to Virginia and will fly in his new campaign plane to Louisiana to tour the disaster areas with Gov. Jindal. Awkwaard. I have had to make hasty arrangements to cancel events for Monday and visit Louisiana two days after Supermitt arrives. Woe is me, again looking as if I am leading from behind.

Mitt Romney will visit storm-affected areas in New Orleans today, skipping a previously scheduled joint rally with running mate Paul Ryan in the swing state of Virginia.
A Romney aide told ABC News that Romney will “join Gov. Jindal and will meet with first responders, thank them for their work and see areas impacted by the storm in LaFitte, La.”
Meantime, Barack Obama will be showing his sympathy for Louisiana by visiting Texas.

Barack Obama's Diary: electric shock
Dear Diary: A quiet day today after a busy few days campaigning. Apparently the parents of 37 troops who died in a helicopter crash in Aghanistan are unhappy that I sent them form letters of sympathy signed with an electric pen. Of course I am very sad for their loss. But I am surprised that they expect me, as leader of the free world, to personally sign such letters. At two seconds a letter, 37 letters would take up more than a minute of my time. People are so critical. Next they'll be saying that I record my personal diary on a digital recorder and it is transcribed later by an assistant. As if. [Brenda, that's it for now.

A Brief Love Story
A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, were assigned to the same sleeping compartment on a long-distance train. Though initially embarrassed, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying : "Ma'am, I'm so sorry to bother you, but would mind reaching into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm very cold."
"'I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight: let's pretend that we're married."
"That's a great idea!" he said.
"Good," she replied: "Get your own f**king blanket."
"'I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight: let's pretend that we're married."

Barack Obama's Diary: Ignored in VA
Dear Diary: I was extremely annoyed several days ago when that distinguished institution, the University of Virginia, refused to let me campaign on their campus. My campaign team instead arranged a rally at a stadium named for some redneck phone carrier. So it was that, on a hot and sticky afternoon, I flew into Charlottesville. And, can you believe it, I noticed on my way on the way to the stadium that people were going about their daily business seemingly oblivious to my majestic progress from Albemarle airport. Outrageous. If Virginia were not a swing state, I would likely avoid it, except for the DC suburbs where there are multitudinous Federal employees for whom I have created thousands jobs and who worship the very ground I walk upon. After a couple hours of campaigning I was back on board Taxpayer One, flying home to DC and dinner with M. and the kids. Now I am ready to slide into the Presidentopedic, to clutch my blankey Boo-boo... Barrry luv Boo-boo, um-num-num-um...zzzzz
Why journalists hate conventions
From The Columbia Journalism Review: "So why are so many journalists deriding the conventions as hours-long infomercials even as my fellow political scientists defend their merits? The problem, in short, is that the conventions undermine journalistic “voice.” In every other aspect of the campaign, the candidates and their messages are filtered through journalists who are reticent to allow them to speak or be quoted at any length without interpretation or analysis. While scrutinizing policy proposals and fact-checking their claims can be valuable exercises, far more coverage displaces the candidates’ messages in favor of ill-informed horse race analysis and theater critic-style analysis of the “optics” of the campaign. Unlike the debates, which are moderated by journalists, the conventions allow the parties and the candidate to speak to voters unfiltered in prime time. That may be threatening to the professional status of journalists, but it’s good for America." Read it all.

The Book of Mitt
As a prominent Mormon, I strive to be an exemplary in my personal conduct. But there are people who test my resolve to the limit. Todd Akin is such an individual. He is what a less temperate person might call a selfish b#*tard. Oops... I almost said the b-word. I am urged to use humor to project more warmth, so I made a passing joke yesterday about no-one ever asking for my birth certificate. All hell heck broke loose in the liberal media. Ann and I admire restraint and she wants me to save my best anti-Obama line for later in this week's Convention: "Give me liberty or give me debt." Pretty good, if I may say so myself, but since pride is a sin, I can't. Trump says he has a surprise in store for the convention. Let us pray that it has nothing to do with a hurricane and a comb-over. The convention now won't begin properly until Tuesday. Let us therefore be grateful that this has forced Obama to recall Biden from Florida, so Joe can't tell any of his excruciating Yo' mama so fat jokes aimed at attracting media attention away from the GOP.
Barack Obama's Diary: I'm in a snit
Dear Diary: I am in a snit. The University of Virginia has refused my request to use their campus for a campaign event. Refused me, one of the greatest figures of American history who will eventually completely eclipse UVA's founder, Thomas Jefferson. UVA say they don't want their schedule disrupted on the second day of their academic year. Hmmm. Another thing that is contributing to my agitation is Mittman's so-called "joke" that he has not ever being asked to show his birth certificate. Hah. Hah. The only thing keeping my spirits up is the hope that I will have to send FEMA in to rescue Mittman and Ryan from the wrath of Hurricane Isaac. How sweet would that be. I've asked Valerie Jarrett to add eye of newt and toe of frog to her cauldron and to begin incantations to the spirits of Wind and Rain.
Joe's Journal
Dear Journal: By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes. MacBarack and his coven of witches and warlocks gathered around their bubbling West Wing cauldron have told me to call off my Florida visit in case I disrupt emergency services when Hurricane Isaac arrives. So, alas, I'll never get to use the great soundbite I had prepared with which to chide Romney on the evening news, to wit: " Mitt, you think you so clever but Isaac's goin' to put y'all back in RAINS." Also I had hoped the weather would allow me to get to know Romney better so after November I could say I've been intimate with five presidents.

Barack Obama's Diary: Mittmare

But noooo. Dreams I had after all, and who should gatecrash them: Mittman and Ryan, prancing about, goading me with incorrect arithmetic and cackling as they did so. Michelle had to shake me awake, saying: "Barry wake-up you're having another Mittmare." I slept only fitfully after that, so I was truly grateful that Valerie Jarrett had the foresight to keep my schedule clear until around midday when I received the Presidential briefing. Same old, same old, with half the Middle East snarling at the other half. The only bright spot on the horizon is a hurricane that may be heading for the GOP convention to disrupt Mittman and Ryan's cozy double-act.

Dear Diary: Auugh! Someone has "leaked" the preposterous story that Valerie Jarrett proposed to Hillary that Hillary should consider running for VP, replacing Joe Biden. The rumor is that Bill liked the idea, but Hillary was worried that we might lose [as if] and that would brand her as a loser before she could run for President in 2016. So she declined the offer. Where do these tales come from? The Clinton camp? It's possible that they are laying false trails to keep Hillary in the spotlight while she readies for her big run in 2015. These shenanigans have done nothing to help or hinder my standing in the polls for the next election. Meantime I'm ready to slide in to the old Presidentopedic.

Dear Journal: At last! I finally realized who I am, when the men in dark suits and shades bundled me out of the black limo and into a large plane which they said was heading for D.C. and I was due to have lunch in the White House private dining room with the president. One of the Secret Service guys (for that is who they were) muttered something about me being taken to the woodshed and they all sniggered. It gradually dawned on me that I was not just any old vice-president but the Vice President. I discovered it was not 1998 but 2012 when I read the day's newspapers on the plane and they reported speculation that President Obama might replace me on his ticket with with Hillary Clinton. I was ushered into the private dining room after my arrival. Obama was perfectly cordial, though he frequently used the word y'all, combined with a knowing look. Strange man. Soon I'm traveling to Wilmington, Delaware, to reunite with my wife Jesse, Joan, Jill--that's her name.

Syria is still coming apart at the seams. "We need more smart diplomacy," I told Hillary. She replied: "Yes. It has worked so well." Was that sarcasm in her voice? Surely not.
Next I took poor old Joe Biden tothe woodshed private dining room for lunch. He ordered biscuits and gravy thinking he was in North Carolina/Georgia/1998 or whatever. "Unchain me! he pleaded, but I was unmoved and instead I asked the Secret Service guys to tighten his shackles.
