The power of rhetoric to make the worse cause appear the better cause has been well-known for at least 2500 years.<BR/><BR/>I once had a lady friend who confided that she voted for Clinton because she just loved his speeches. "Give me some more speech, baby," she said. It was at that moment that I realized what a complete idiot she was.<BR/><BR/>You should not be voting for Presidents of the United States because they are cute, or make great speeches. Isn't this like...really obvious?Jaafarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553047762480716388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-30010266675462535502009-03-23T09:41:00.000-04:002009-03-23T09:41:00.000-04:00It's times like this I wish we had a colony on mar...It's times like this I wish we had a colony on mars, so I could kick back, and watch it on the big screen with a bowl of popcorn.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-25628441713811444912009-03-23T06:59:00.000-04:002009-03-23T06:59:00.000-04:00He says: There has to be a little gallows humor wh...He says: There has to be a little gallows humor when talking about the economy.<BR/><BR/>I say : The buck stops there. Me and Mr Jacobson can have a little gallows humor, but your job is to FIX it not joke about it. That is why you are being paid top level compensation, that is why you are living rent free at the WH, that is why you don't have to go through cavity searches at the airport. And don't even get me started at the Wagyu beef !!!

Every time I hear his voice these days, I cringe. He's a poseur, and doesn't know it. <BR/><BR/>To me, he has became the first Postmodern President, when it was clear that he was speaking in contradictions with apparently no idea that's what they were. It's Orwell's "doublethink" at the White House.ASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591247136037620408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-57734060703992090582009-03-22T21:24:00.000-04:002009-03-22T21:24:00.000-04:00I missed that.
