					<description><![CDATA[neo,

Regarding John Adams and John Quincy Adams, I&#039;d just like to point out that both were of the Founding Fathers generation, and during their lifetime they would have been competing for the presidency in a politically much richer and more informed environment.

Intellectually speaking, Obama would have been a goldfish in a shark tank if placed in their company.

He just would not have the judgment, life experience, sense of history, coherent political philosophy, economic experience, etc., to even stand in their shadow.

Still, such shortcomings have never kept The Won from criticizing them anyway....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I too think Obama plans to use his State of the Union address to re-connect with the middle class and to try enticing them (us) with a species of bribery.  The question is, is it too late for him?  I don&#039;t know the answer to that.  We will see in a few days, or maybe a few weeks.  I kind of think it may be, but he &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; quite seductive--like the devil, who the Bible tells us will come disguised as an angel of light.  

I go back and forth much of the time (if that wasn&#039;t already obvious), but mostly I think Obama, with the Dems under him, is making moves to control this country in ways no one has ever even thought of before.  It&#039;s not clear that he&#039;ll succeed.  But it is almost certain that he is trying.  Artfldgr presents the case, for those who have the patience to read him and in a fashion not always easy to follow, but persuasive nevertheless--at least I find him so.  It&#039;s important to remember that, in many of the great battles of history (both military and political), the eventual victor was apparently defeated upon initial attempts.  But persistence sometimes pays, even though the results are not clear early on.  The Russians ran through a couple of post-Revolutionary governments, including hapless Kerensky, before Lenin and his tireless Bolsheviks at last prevailed.  Robert the Bruce was apparently defeated until he took inspiration from watching a spider attempt, repeatedly but initially futilely, to connect with the opposite wall to build a web.  Joshua marched around the city of Jericho seven times before the walls fell.  There are many other examples.  True, Obama has apparently lost some major battles.  But he has made it fairly clear, also, that he has no intention of giving up, of compromising, of doing anything but attempting to seduce the Republican opposition and their supporters.  He intends to give no quarter, not in any way that matters.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Wow! He’s bored already? &quot;

No, I think that somewhere in his mind there is a growing realization that the President has to *do something*, not just talk good. 

His old job, well he could have voted present, gave a few stump speeches, and fling invectives at the Republicans and he would have had a VERY long political career. He could have maintained the aura of being &quot;The Real Deal&quot; and people would have made all sorts of excuses for him not running - mainly how magnanimous he would have been for staying where he could do the most good.

As is he is going to go down in history as a one liner - first Black President and then hope that is the whole of his legacy.

I do think he is a fairly intelligent person. He is not knowledgeable or flexible, he is a pure product of leftist thought - indoctrinated and knowing nothing else. When it doesn&#039;t work his only choices are quit or do it more, too hard to quit now (after all he *knows* conservatism is just plain evil). I think he is smart enough to realize what is going on, doesn&#039;t want to admit it, and can&#039;t figure out what to do.

If it were not effecting me it would be a grand case of giving a leftist what they wanted and watch it crash and burn. Frankly it is going about how I figured it would. I guess it is still a grand case of it, but it has a bad edge to it that I would have rather avoided.]]></description>

I Can Has Cheezburger is a website that runs pictures of LOLcats (photos of cats with funny captions). The captions specialize in a lot of idiosyncratic spellings taken from text messaging. Hence

&lt;i&gt;Throw away that reset button. It was all a sham and a farce. A match needs to be placed on everything to do with START, which won’t be worth the paper it gets written on. Absolutely everything in every realm with the US needs to start from scratch.
