Obama shakes the hand of Sara Jessica Parker?

Quite a resemblance.

VP 2016 & 2020, President 2024?

Senate Confirms Julian Castro As Housing Secretary

http://publicradiotulsa.org/post/senate-confirms-julian-castro-housing-secretary



Quote
The Senate voted 71-26 on Wednesday to confirm San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

All 26 no votes came from Republicans.

"Julian has lived the American dream in his own life, and I'm confident he will help Americans across our country seize their own piece of that dream for themselves and their children," President Obama said in a statement after the vote.

Obama nominated Castro, a Hispanic and a rising star in the Democratic Party, to the job in May. As NPR's Scott Horley reported, he takes over the department at a time "when the nation's housing market has been treading water."

Castro, 39, succeeds Shaun Donovan, who was tapped to White House budget chief. He rose to national prominence as the keynote speaker at the Democratic convention in 2012.

NPR's Frank James noted at the time:

"A graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School (like his twin brother, Joaquin, a Texas state representative), Castro became the youngest mayor of a top 50 U.S. city in 2009.

"That, among other achievements, long ago put Castro on the radar of some of the keenest political observers as a local politician with national potential."

That’s right.  Per “the script” for future Dem President’s since 1988, didn’t he deliver the key note address at the DNC in 2012?

Yes. It was a very good speech too.  Full of real life experience without any hopey changy stuff.  He is absolutely being groomed.

Some embarrassing news for Hillary. Her latest book about herself only sold 161,000 copies so far.  Well short of any amount necessary to cover her $14 million dollar advance she was given, and far short of the million copies shipped on consignment to booksellers.  This is disturbing, since the primary qualification for a liberal politician is to write and sell as many books about yourself as possible.

Perhaps she can turn things around and energize her base to go out and buy multiple copies, or perhaps get universities to start requiring it as a text.

Sales will pick up during the campaign and when she takes office.

He was in Tulsa last year and gave a speech at the downtown Hyatt. He was great and is a rising star in American politics. His twin brother is a state representative from Texas.
