	<description>President Obama’s real problem was that he ran his mouth, and issued an empty threat. Now, actually doing the right thing in Syria looks like weakness, and the President’s word cannot be either trusted or even taken seriously.</description>

		<description>Bill Clinton, or Nancy Pelosi, or John Kerry, or Barack Obama could talk from now till the second coming and it wouldn&#039;t make a bit of difference to me, not one bit.

If you don&#039;t agree, watch what they do and compare that to what they said they intended. You&#039;ll soon come to the inescapable conclusion: What they do is frequently the opposite of what they say, sometimes it&#039;s even the exact opposite.

In other words, they can&#039;t be trusted to tell the truth, and the last few days provided several contemporary examples, laughable examples.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Which is roughly the mandate which the Dems earned in the 2008 elections, which your party refused to honor with your massive obfuscation tactics in Congress.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Obama started things on a sour note by saying &quot;I won&quot;. He attacked the Supreme Court to their faces during a SOTU speech. He insulted Paul Ryan in a similar fashion. Obama is an egomaniac who doesn&#039;t play well with others. There&#039;s a new book by Bob Woodward that details just what a dick Obama really is. That, no doubt comes from being raised a foreigner with a drunken Marxist bigamist for a &lt;strike&gt;sperm donor&lt;/strike&gt; Daddy.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But these are far from normal circumstances. Now the anonymous Super PACs will begin their screaming, yelling, and lying, thanks to the Citizens United ruling permitting unlimited spending by anonymous donors.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Obama has his SuperPACs, too, including one that got a million dollars from Bill Maher, who called Sarah Palin a cunt. How&#039;s that for class? How&#039;s that for a War on Women?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Too bad you two missed Bill Clinton’s speech, because you would not have liked it, but you would have learned a thing or two from it. You would have learned more about the Obama record than President Obama himself advertises, but should, because put in perspective, which is what Bill Clinton did, it has been a good one for our country. Moreover, you would have learned in detail the Romney/Ryan lies, of which you folks are well aware, because you all repeat them time and again, mostly in ignorance. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


There&#039;s a reason Clinton earned the nickname Slick Willie, because he is basically Sir Lie-A-Lot. In addition to being a liar, he is also a rapist. How well does that sit in a Party who claims there&#039;s a &quot;War on Women&quot;.</description>

		<description>Of course, as expected, ropelight and Eric attack the messenger instead of listening to the message and critiquing it with some degree of honesty.  However, I&#039;m sure there will be more like the two named commenters on this blog.

Too bad you two missed Bill Clinton&#039;s speech, because you would not have liked it, but you would have learned a thing or two from it.  You would have learned more about the Obama record than President Obama himself advertises, but should, because put in perspective, which is what Bill Clinton did, it has been a good one for our country.  Moreover, you would have learned in detail the Romney/Ryan lies, of which you folks are well aware, because you all repeat them time and again, mostly in ignorance.  

But that is the way ideologues are; they don&#039;t wish to be swayed from their message, indicating no trust in themselves to make independent judgments.

Under normal circumstances, Bill Clinton&#039;s facts and figures would seal the deal for President Obama in a second term.

But these are far from normal circumstances.  Now the anonymous Super PACs will begin their screaming, yelling, and lying, thanks to the Citizens United ruling  permitting unlimited spending by anonymous donors.

Moreover, we have unprecedented voter suppression taking place in the red states, allegedly solving a problem, a problem which does not exist.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict an outcome in an election which on principle should see a second term for our President.  However, I remain optimistic, boosted by the Clinton speech last evening, and by the lies I heard spoken night after night the week before.

Now I look forward to President Obama&#039;s speech tonight.  All concerned Americans should be watching tonight, whether for or against his reelection.  

PS: Mr Editor, I&#039;m curious whether you watched the Clinton speech, and what your thoughts are, because of all the regulars, my hope is that you would at least give it a more honest assessment than I&#039;ve read so far on here.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And by the way, Jerusalem is supposed to be the joint capital of the State of Israel and the Palestinian State, need I remind you? 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


What a stupid idea. That would work about as well as a divided Berlin during the Cold War. But what a farce to have the convention leader rig the election on the wording of their platform. What a ship of fools!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We have tried both, the aforementioned principles giving our nation success in the Clinton second term, and the latter trickle down producing for our nation a disaster during the Bush-43 terms. 


The economy was great under Reagan and much better under Bush than what we have now.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It is a sign of our times in America, and not a good one, that a football game or some other TV show will keep us from watching important events at the very center of our lives as Americans, Dems and Repubs alike.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


I watched the football game and cheered for Dallas. Much more important than that old rapist, Bill Clinton or the fake Indian and her class warfare spiel. And then there was Sandra Fluck, who probably wanted to fluck every male in the room, including the rapist Bill Clinton. If you really wanted to make Miss Fluck happy, drop free rubbers from the ceiling on her instead of balloons</description>

		<description>Rather than wallow in self-indulgence and mindless idolatry last night I opted for the more important, reality-based entertainment choice, the Cowboy/Giants opener, but during commercial time outs I do acknowledge  indulging in channel switching to catch a few snippets of Slick Willie&#039;s performance. It was the same old song-n-dance act, Slick with his well practiced serious and forthright look, smiling and talking like door to door salesman, wagging his left index finger and hawking snake oil. Some thing never change.

But, it was ol&#039; Slick himself alright, a little older, more gray, less contrite and not quite as shifty-eyed than back when he was caught like a rat in a trap, a rat that is with his pants down, and lying like a dog on national TV about &lt;em&gt;that woman, Ms Lewinsky.&lt;/em&gt; 

Yep, it was just like old times. Same guy selling the same lies and the same damn fools lapping it up. I couldn&#039;t help thinking that even though yesterday was gone there&#039;re still lots of true believing Jackasses who would willingly sell Uncle Sam down the river if only they could relive the thrill of Old Bill&#039;s days in the Oval Office complete with the questions about Vince Foster&#039;s murder, Travelgate, Watergate, Filegate, Zippergate, Monica&#039;s blue dress, Bill&#039;s assault on Paula Jones, the rape of Juanita Broderick, etc., etc., etc.</description>
