		<description>Obama promised to bring us change, so why be surprised when you discover he has changed his mind.  A reliable &quot;agent of change&quot; is an oxymoron.  You can&#039;t have both, just like you can&#039;t be both liberal and conservative.  You can claim to be both but you will be one or the other. 

A conservative is safe, dependable, reliable, and predictable (or in other words, &lt;em&gt;boring&lt;/em&gt;.)
A liberal is uncertain, unreliable, unconventional, and unpredictable (or in other words, &lt;em&gt;exciting&lt;/em&gt;.)

Women who marry the steady, predictable type often find themselves bored to tears and wishing their man would step out of character and surprise them once in a while.  Women who hook up with the unpredictable &quot;bad boy&quot; eventually begin to envy women with dependable husbands and wish for a more conventional lifestyle.  But you can&#039;t have both.  There&#039;s just no such thing as a &quot;predictable surprise&quot;, and there can be no excitement without a risk of danger.

The young and discontented will almost always choose an exciting liar over a dependable bore, even when they have a clear choice between them.  As for me, I&#039;ve had enough excitement and surprises in my life that I&#039;ve come to appreciate a safe and boring politician.  But I&#039;m beginning to believe I&#039;m in the minority.  Obama roller coaster here we come...</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;As an Obama supporter, I keep trying to find a way to reconcile my admiration for Obama.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Try doing some schrooms and banging on a drum in the middle of the woods during a full moon; where you will experience the quickening of the ogling Obama force. This tends to work well for narcissists and border-line schizophrenics.</description>

		<description>A really aggravating thing is that he will get away with this and many other things just like it because he won’t let anyone close enough to him who has the stones to call him on it. Which means neither does he. 

We expect politicians to lie but this guy is a real piece o’work. The audacity of standing right in front of you, lying to your face, and knowing that you, you dummy, are to star struck and/or immoral to do anything about it. The arrogance of this one’s audacity.

Now Mrs. O has to stay away from the microphone and avoid questions, or follow along and lapse into moral degradation to uphold and not give away his lies and deceptions.

Yes, I love my wife and family and I would never put them on the spot. Of course, that depends on your definition of “Yes”, “I”, “love”, “my”, “wife” and “family.”</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He’s just another slick politician, and this election like all elections comes down to the lesser evil
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

mistress and chap - pretty much agree.  I probably am less concerned about candidates raising money - if 300 million people gave him $10 each, more power to him.  But he agreed to go with public financing, and if he had, I&#039;d be stunned, but would give him props for not being just another politician.  But the turnabout shows that his talk of change is meaningless.  Just another politician...

		<description>LGM, are we supposed to be impressed by your Dante refernce?  I read that when I was a freshman in high school which was a long time ago (it will be 30 years this fall to be exact).  I imagine then that you&#039;ll be seeing W there if that&#039;s where you believe he will be.  I think a road trip is in order to your classroom where I can put a sign above your door that says &quot;Abandon all hope, ye who enter here&quot;.  That about sums it up, you have hope in an empty suit, that&#039;s not hope, it&#039;s stupidity.</description>

		<description>Rusty, if you see no problem with being a liar, then you are a liar yourself.  I don&#039;t distrust Obama because he is a politician.  I distrust him because he is a democrat.  I distrust him because he is a liar, progressive, idiot (57 states (even if you&#039;re tired you can&#039;t be so stupid as to say that)), and the fact that you support him.

lgm, if he is a liar in this instance, then he is a liar always.  Poor judgement always, pathetic friends, satan for a priest and a loud mouth wife.  You&#039;re backing a real winner there dude.</description>
