Obama: The conservative in 2012

We didn’t know John-boy was in the barn, so we were surprised when we went in for milking and saw Bossie having a cigarette and Gilda the goat in black fishnet stockings. Then we heard John-boy’s voice coming from the hen house.

And the smarmy Axelrod & crew are compiling enough baggage of his scummy behavior while married in the 70’s(at least)to fill volumes.

Would those for whom Obama’s life story inclined them to vote for Obama also say that Gingrich’s life story would increase their possibility of voting for Gingrich?

I think not.

I was wrong about Vaclav Havel; I kind of saw a similarity between him and Newt and other politicians who rely on their political accomplishments for a character assessment. And with Newt, I don’t know whether or not he is genuine. He, like Vaclav, writes and says the right things, but, who defines the line that demarcates good from bad.

Perhaps, like King David and King Solomon, the trappings of power and command magnify one’s shortcomings and one’s strengths.

Hypocrisy is a poor measure of a person’s value. He deserves credit for recognizing his faults and, ostensibly, for attempting to overcome his shortcomings. Many people are not even aware of the former and make no effort to confront the latter.

I’m impressed that he survived and excelled following a harsh childhood.

He is right on many positions and he has the character to persevere. The revelations of his childhood only serve to humanize him, and his marginal failures as an adult are not sufficient to dismiss his candidacy.
