					<description><![CDATA[Neo, for someone with such commanding political talent, after following all the lack of action on the spill, I was reminded of this scene from the movie, GHOSTBUSTERS. The boys are in the mayor&#039;s office and everyone is flailing. The politicians have overlooked the most obvious reason to do something on the Gulf, ... that is about the ghosts, quickly:

    Dr. Peter Venkman: Or you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

    Mayor: What do you mean, &quot;biblical&quot;?

    Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!

    Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

    Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!

    Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

    Mayor: Enough! I get the point! And what if you&#039;re wrong?

    Dr. Peter Venkman: If we&#039;re wrong, then nothing happens. We go to jail. Peacefully. Quietly. We&#039;ll enjoy it. But if we&#039;re right, and we can stop this thing, Lenny... [The mayor looks at him incredulously.] you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bob From Virginia 
&lt;b&gt;The crux of it that he seems incapable of learning from or even acknowledging his mistakes.&lt;/b&gt;


Good point. I recall âˆ…bama&#039;s absurd off-the teleprompter claim from the 2008 campaign&lt;a href=&quot;http://deanesmay.com/2008/08/04/inflated-claims/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; “But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling  if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much.”&lt;/a&gt;    

Not only was this an absurd claim, he refused to admit he was wrong.

So, it isn&#039;t as if we weren&#039;t warned about this trait of our POTUS.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;Hasn’t the MSM been sweeping O’s dirty laundry under the rug from day one? Why should this get different treatment from the rest of his unethical acts.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, the MSN has and they will certainly protest that its a tempest in a teapot and that its a partisan witchhunt. The radical behavior of the Democrats however has swung the pendulum and the Republicans will now consider actions that previously they wouldn&#039;t have considered. That&#039;s why they hung tough on health care. 

If, after the mid-terms the Republicans allow themselves to be intimidated by the MSM, then things will become grim indeed. Radicalism among the public will increase because the perception will increasingly grow that we are living under tyranny. 

The Sestak scandal is different however because its a felony with an accusation of unlawful exercise of Executive favors. It can&#039;t be defended, only asserted that it didn&#039;t happen and if Sestak has evidence that it did happen, it takes on a life of its own. 

If a Special Prosecutor is appointed, Sestak has to submit any and all evidence he possesses or be found guilty of obstruction of justice, a very serious offense.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Geoffrey, Pew Research would suggest that your guess is a great off-the-cuff estimate.  They say 19% for a closely overlapping group:  http://people-press.org/report/?pageid=949

Subtract from that some liberal-issue true believers who are abandoning Obama, add it some folks from Pew&#039;s other categories who would be loyal for reasons other than liberalism, and it may be a wash.

I&#039;m with Bob, however, about sweeping things under the rug.  Conservatives railed about Clinton&#039;s requisitioned FBI files of his enemies, Whitewater, the travel office, forbidding the FBI access to Vince Foster&#039;s office, the Lincoln Bedroom rental, and a dozen other things.  Not until sex was involved did the general public get interested (and then, of course, the defense was that it was we who were obsessed with sex).

Something may eventually kick this rotten door in, but what that would be may depend more on chance (or salaciousness) than on reason and law.

Not that we shouldn&#039;t keep trying...]]></description>
