You are eloquent and sharp

What Obama said during and just after his campaign were highly laudable. It's to bad that so many tuned into him too late. It was a very well run campaign by a lot of savvy people.

Those same people listened only to what Obama campaigned and not to who Obama has been and still is. It was a smartly lead campaign based on the knowledge that most of the American population had no clue who he was until he started running. Obama and his staff knew and banked on that.

Him as a shining star of our founding fathers?? No. No. No. He and his staff knew that the common American was clueless and lied their way into a very successful win. He was a smarter and better liar than Hillary. I trust she will have learned. We can expect a much better liar out of her in the future. I think even the Pelosis and Reids learned a few lessons in how to delude a nation of clueless saps.

No, I'm not a Republican or a staumch Bush fan. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Bush had a fair amount of credit and a certain level of not. He has been smeared to the point of absolute idiocy.

I give you your eloquence and sharpness. I don't know if you bought into the mass delusion and lie or if you are cleverly feeding it.
