		<description>No man I&#039;m pissed because the Obama crowd called RACISM on Hillary in order to defeat her.

THAT was unforgivable. The party is now run by these same slanderers. 

And yes, it was a real eye-opener to learn what caucuses were all about. I was aware of them but until C-SPAN showed us how completely fucked they were I never could figure out how Kerry won Iowa in 2004. Well now I know what an unrepresentative joke they really are and how a lame-ass candidate like Obama could game the system and &quot;win&quot;.</description>

		<description>Yes, mimicry is common in nature as a tactic. Behold Obama, the cuttlefish. The purpose of Obama&#039;s words is deception.</description>

		<description>Poor misundersood Obama now has to destroy the reputation of yet another woman. Ironically, his drooling surrogates will attack her for &quot;lack of experience&quot;. Meanwhile, the &quot;community organizer&quot; and best friend in the whole wide world of non-repentant terrorist William Ayers will pretend he is above the fray. Imagine the anger that the morally-compromised Obama supporters feel when they see a decent, loving,  caring AND competent person like Sarah Palin. Trust me on this: the attacks on Sarah Palin from the Obama camp are going tro make what they did to Hillary look like a love-fest.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Craig Della Penna &amp; Barack Obama share a similar wordsmith’s ability to construct lofty image intense arguments meant to inspire/persuade.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

MLK was a master with words; Oblahblah is a master of catch-phrases. All Oblahblah does is string together words and stolen catch phrases and rearrange them to sound clever. That they are meaningless and repetetive after the massaging is lost on the kool-aide drinking sippy-cup crowd,which never learned real English in the first place. Oblahblah is style over substance and format over content--he is a powerpoint presentation.</description>

		<description>You want oratory skill?  Rewatch Bills Speech at the Dem COnvention...now tht man knows how to give a speech.

I swear if i didn&#039;t know anything about barack obama i would have gone running to the polls right after he finished and waited in line till they opened.

Thank god i Know enough about Barack Obama to be able to say NO to Barack Obama.

I love Bill and Hill, but i know why they did what they had to do.  The only way to rescue Bill and Hill is to ensure Obama fails so the party can be reclaimed from the latte leftists and the Ofanatics.</description>

		<description>Craig, thank you for this wonderful article on leadership. I read your comments many times on TM before I left that site for good and they&#039;ve always been excellent. This one is especially appropriate given the Greco Roman example of overindulgence Thursday night presented by the non-Democratic Party.

The Greek and Roman Gods were overindulged and , at times, decadent. They wrought havoc on each other and their mortal victims because of their vanity. They were often vindictive and destructive. 

In the real world, the most lasting and beneficial  leadership came from humble men and women whose vision for the world demanded we be better members of our society, but asked nothing for themselves. Mahatma Gandhi, Mlk, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela all served time in jails, were beaten or gave their lives for convictions they held and the armies they led were held together by a common goal: To fight for the rights of others without taking up arms against those who opposed them. To my knowledge, none used any weapon greater than words spoken or written which touched the hearts and hopes of so many. 

The twenty fist century gods and goddesses are those with physical beauty or great wealth. American Idols who have become famous for non-accomplishments or because of soaring, empty retoric as you described. Dose this idicate the opposite of an advanced civilization; a reverse evolution to the time when it was all about what pleased the Gods and made their acolytes happy living a vicarious, empty life? 

Hasn&#039;t the end of those civilizations been marked by an  emptiness that only more excitement can satisfy until they, in indulgence, bring down the very thing they should cherish?</description>

Beats the pants off Baracks shitty made up life story.  And it took all of 1 minute 30 seconds to tell with incredible impact...

...Didnt require a temple or a 300 million dollar campaign designed to convince us of his greatness.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wrote my dissertation on Eurpides. &lt;/blockquote&gt;


For Barack&#039;s future read Lysistrata.  Her ambitions frustrated, a thoroughly pissed off Michelle will cut him off and Barack will end his days a prisoner of failure and on the down low.

I love a farce.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Elsewhere internationally they’ve already christened Sarah a “superwoman” and a “supermom”. It’s really amazing but in one day - and not by giving speeches but by people just studying her track record - she’s swept up more buzz than Obama’s been able to do in a year and a half.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, I&#039;m only half Svenska, (but I love your movies, Miss Garbo,) so I&#039;ll limit myself to half a smirk.  &lt;em&gt;Words matter, but Character matters more.&lt;/em&gt;</description>
