Obama tends to stutter when he's put on the spot, but is more inspiring rhetorically in controlled settings. Whether that's because of Obama's higher sense of civil discourse is debatable. I prefer to not waste my time thinking about Obama.Rosalyn C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05868527120018363058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73578241104561333212017-10-21T04:30:49.339-05:002017-10-21T04:30:49.339-05:00It is all brand protection, ala Thomas Jefferson.

However I am guessing that a lot of the bare knuckle brawlers swinging at Trump in the media are, if not under his direction, certainly being given absolution by St. Obama.<br /><br />Please note: under Obama, our economy STUNK. Our recovery was horrible because of him. Now it is humming.<br /> <br />He honestly dare not get into that kind of scuffle. Between Uranium deals, having to actually take a stand on campus riots, and a comparison of his actions re Syria, Iran, and NK, he really can't stand the comparison unless you are a Kool-Aid Drinking Dem.FIDOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768886981584556497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-80437902302206112422017-10-20T23:13:13.028-05:002017-10-20T23:13:13.028-05:00I must tell you that at least we're trying to ...I must tell you that at least we're trying to flush our turds.

All men are not created equal, but obviously he did more, apparently with less. At least in quantity if not in quality. And afterall I haven't checked my source, treat it as a factoid. And on the other hand, men's brains average heavier than women's, so I'm happy to conclude either way, haha. <br /><br />The only real stat I remember on these things is that higher birth weight corresponds to higher IQ. Of course, kids are being born bigger and bigger these days, with C-sections and all, so perhaps the correct answer to everything is in fact just to kick things down the road until another generation or two with enlarged craniums like those guys on the old Star Trek Ken figure everything out.<br /><br />Have you been to Paris yet? We just celebrated hitting a big milestone today. A lovely, lightly sodden company luncheon, at a lovely place in Tribeca God knows why, lovely strip loin roast that was I must admit as good as I can make myself, but I hope you have the time to dine even better when you get there. <br /><br />Shall I confess that after champagne, rye Sazerac with absinthe, sancerre, grenache, and Irish coffee, I was very glad to take a nap when I got home.Bad Lieutenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091901464339059169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-77654255125344128912017-10-20T19:04:22.178-05:002017-10-20T19:04:22.178-05:00He was quite a presence.

He's a full participant in the left's belief they can say anything they want without regard to reality and also whine about others criticizing them. This is left wing privilege. <br /><br />If Obama believed in civility he had his Sista Soulja opportunity to tell Biden his comment that Republicans (led by Romney of all people) want to put blacks back in chains (returning them to slavery) was out of line. He didn't for the simple reason that he doesn't believe in extending any level of respect to those he disagrees with. Fearmongering and stoking hate is his electoral strategy as learned from his pastor as it is for essentially every Democrat and leftwinger.

Ralph Nader is fun to read and listen to because he says what he believes. Obama is the opposite, and set a world record for doing the opposite of what he said.<br />There was a film in the sixties, a very bad film, that was something like "how to cheat on your wife." In it, a wife walks into the bedroom to find her husband in bed with another woman. While she accuses him and demands to know what is going on, he calmly gets dressed while saying that nothing is going on, then walks out.
