					<description><![CDATA[I think you&#039;re note that he has no intention of abandoning his agenda may be the most telling point.  This man is not a politician.  Certainly not in the classic sense--no.  He is an activist.  

He even told us who he was.   We didn&#039;t need to unseal school records or find a missing birth certificate.  Just as Dewey and the secular humanists laid out their plan to take over the school system in plain sight, Obama&#039;s record, &quot;work&quot; history, voting record and who he hung with scream at us. 

But too many of us didn&#039;t listen.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And &lt;strike&gt;the country&lt;/strike&gt; Obama’s scared.”…

					<description><![CDATA[‘Bob from Virginia’ asks the question, “Why is Obama still so popular?” 

 I have a different take. I think the admission of an Obama epic failure by his initial supporters has hit a snag. The snag being lots of them connect his failure to them personally as failures also. 

 Look at candidate Obama compared to President Obama. His initial supporters judgement wasn&#039;t just a little off. It was grotesquely off. Monumentally off with the very fabric of society at stake.

 He sits at 45% because 20% of his approvers are trying desperately to not seriously consider what they were a part of. The shame upon self reflection would be overwhelming and they&#039;re avoiding it like the plague.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[rickl:  I don&#039;t know, but my guess is that the photo is real.  As Heinlein pointed out more than sixty years ago, taking bad photographs of a politician is not difficult.  (His suggested method: get one photographer to flash a flashbulb in the politician&#039;s face, and then a second photographer takes a picture right away, before the victim can recover from the reflex; then throw the first photo away.)  These days it&#039;s even easier; in any film clip, you&#039;ll catch weird split-seconds here and there.  Freeze &#039;em and print &#039;em.

In re President Urkel:  I love it!  (Apparently I&#039;m &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/images?q=president%20urkel&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;not the only one&lt;/a&gt;.)

That imagery just brings a different comparison to mind: pictures of &lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DhF64eIu3Qc/THjoNtqcRgI/AAAAAAAAAoo/7AOxoyBHL9E/s1600/r1653491488.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;two&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/images/2007/05/01/bush_in_flight_suit_at_air_base.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Presidents&lt;/a&gt;.    One of them looks a lot more like a wartime leader than the other, at least to me!

					<description><![CDATA[&#039;Bob from Virginia&#039; asks the question, &quot;Why is Obama still so popular?&quot; 

The first thing to remember (to combat the intended frustration and hence battle capability) is that we are in a war to defeat our will to resist. 

Next:  Take his popularity numbers with a healthy, dose of scepticism. Ignore the state media polls as they are merely tools of propaganda. Remember that Obama&#039;s policies poll about 10% less than he does. 

Last: Give them their due. They won many minds while we slept. They won a significant minority and coupled with their power have attempted &quot;a transformation.&quot; We won&#039;t win most of the minds back. Their emphasis on education, on &quot;critical thinking&quot; was well placed. The duped think with their emotions and their programming.  

You are mostly right in your analysis: Obama is still popular. Wrong in your conclusion: Obama is going to prevail. 

Our battle should not concentrate on the duped, but on removing the leaders from their positions of influence and control. This is happening: In media, in politics, in education. The last, in my opinion, should be where we should particularly place our focus. In twenty years, if we can teach the new generations correctly, the battle will be something else. And we will have answered the call to preserve liberty and freedom.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Keep it up there, Cap&#039;n Wonnerfull, keep it up.  Most of us are no longer listening to you--you&#039;ve become so whiney even Bo has a hard time hearing you, but that might be because he&#039;s got the good sense to stop listening as well.  How does it feel, Perfesser, to be dumber than than your pooch?  Now, just because I&#039;m a nice guy (really, I am--trust me on this), I&#039;m gonna clue you in on something your partner in this dog act would call a &quot;really big f&#039;ng deal&quot;.

The only people listening to and hearing you are members of your own party, and they&#039;re the ones who are scared.  They&#039;re the ones running away from you like you&#039;re radioactive toxic medical waste.  They&#039;ve got your number, Jugears, and so do the rest of us.  But keep on jacking your jaws--at least until November 2nd.  After that take all of the tee times you want, just keep in mind that you&#039;ll be paying your own greens fees after January 2013.  Let your VEEP do the heavy lifting--he&#039;s just as effective and inspirational as you are but with better comedic timing.

Scared, Urkel?  Of YOU?  Please, you&#039;re embarrassing yourself so badly you&#039;re embarrassing me, and I don&#039;t even like you....]]></description>
