		<description><![CDATA[My co-workers who no doubt voted for him the first time are distressed over BO&#039;s proclamation last week. They even discussed, at length, where in the bible such things are prohibited. But when I asked if they would now be voting for Romney, they laughed, Heartily. They said there was NO WAY they could vote for Romney. So, although they are not pleased with what BO said he now approves of, after he said he didn&#039;t, after he said he did....  They will still vote for him, again, no doubt.]]></description>

If you have stories of Obama blocking release of his transcripts or other historical records, let me know.  The burden&#039;s on you to prove your claim.  When you do I&#039;ll shout it to the mountaintops.  Until you do, you&#039;re just spreading unsubstantiated rumor.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Peter Principle represents it&#039;s highest level of incompetence in the person of Obama.  Every day the news reflects another botched plan.  His latest today is to tell the womaen of Barnard College in his graduation speech his opinion on how they should dress and spend their money.  A lot of the bright women at Barnard did not take it too well.  I think Romney&#039;s capital among women just skyrocketed.  I can&#039;t even imagine him  attempting to tell Ann how to dress.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[it&#039;s been my long held belief that McCain is seen as a loser because he has invested in a meta-narrative of himself as a selfless, subservient underdog - a self-effacing profile Mac believes makes folks naturally want to love and respect him.    

That&#039;s not what people are looking for in a national leader, however.  They want somebody they can look up to and admire.  If McCain had shown some spunk and played up his heroism, life wisdom, and statesmanship, instead of going in as some noble and gentlemanly sacrificial lamb,  he might have developed some traction.  But I&#039;m not sure the man had it in him to take the role of warhorse any longer.  As we&#039;ve found, you really need an unrelenting, merciless fighter to beat a team like Obama&#039;s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He is a clinical compulsive liar.  This is an interesting malady.  Mental health professionals dearly want to study this not uncommon personality disorder, as it is called, but they are frustrated by the lack of research in the area.

The major problem is that compulsive liars (or mythomaniacs, as they are called) rarely seek treatment, and on the rare occasions they do, they often tell stories to the therapist.  Lately, there are studies that indicate that there may be some neurological abnormalities in the frontal lobe with such people, and I am reminded that Joe had the brain aneurysm in &#039;88 or &#039;89.  Perhaps damage had been done for years as that vessel damaged some tissue?  Who knows?

During his &#039;88 run for POTUS, he stood in front of a crowd in IIRC, Scranton, Pa and told the crowd that he came from a long line of miners--then he specified some relative that was a miner.  When reporters began delving into what they thought to be a very interesting human story, they discovered it wasn&#039;t true at all.

Then, further investigation shows a Joe Biden who is liked by his friends for his affability, but who is known to tell whoppers, not just to friends, but to the press, on the stump, etc.  God knows what he has said to foreign leaders and diplomats.  People had to have told Obama about this proclivity, and when he choose him, I was saddened by the media&#039;s silence.

Because I have a friend with this affliction, I&#039;ve done a lot of reading about it. They think, but aren&#039;t sure, that it may be a manifestation of obsessive compulsive disorder.]]></description>

When reporters began delving into what they thought to be a very interesting human story, they discovered it wasn&#8217;t true at all.</p>
<p>Then, further investigation shows a Joe Biden who is liked by his friends for his affability, but who is known to tell whoppers, not just to friends, but to the press, on the stump, etc.  God knows what he has said to foreign leaders and diplomats.  People had to have told Obama about this proclivity, and when he choose him, I was saddened by the media&#8217;s silence.</p>
<p>Because I have a friend with this affliction, I&#8217;ve done a lot of reading about it. They think, but aren&#8217;t sure, that it may be a manifestation of obsessive compulsive disorder.</p>
