		<description>Michael says:  &quot;I&#039;m just saying that if you&#039;re going to complain about everything he does, no matter what it is he actually does, don&#039;t expect anybody to take your criticisms seriously.&quot;

Bit retorts:

&quot;Perhaps the problem isn&#039;t that I&#039;m being overly partisan, it&#039;s that he&#039;s not done anything worth praising, yet.&quot;

Indeed, a man who ran a campaign devoid of any substance, but just &quot;hope,&quot; &quot;change&quot; and &quot;Vote for me and I&#039;ll give you free stuff&quot; hasn&#039;t really earned any praise yet.

And currently, all I am hearing is his sychophants telling us what a great job he is doing as PE.  PE?  PE? 

Professional golfers don&#039;t get judged on the driving range while they warm up, people.  They all hit it pure then.  Flat damn pure.  

Show me what you got when its the 18th hole on day four.....205 uphill to a tight pin up on the right quadrant of the green.....with a short side bunker that you can&#039;t get up and down from.  Oh, by the way, your playing partner, tied with you for the lead, is on the left hand side of the fairway with 6 iron in his hand, and he&#039;s a natural fader.  Watcha gonna do, pal?????

Hammas?  Israel??  Iran???  Chinese investment???   Medicare???  Afghanistan??

Get off the driving range, finish your pre-round &quot;puff&quot; interview and tee the effin ball up, Barack.  (Oh, and that OB left........don&#039;t look at it.)</description>

		<description>Tell you what;

When he does something praiseworthy, he&#039;ll get some from me. So far, he hasn&#039;t managed to do that.

Translation: Perhaps the problem isn&#039;t that I&#039;m being overly partisan, it&#039;s that he&#039;s not done anything worth praising, yet.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh... wait. I see now.
I&#039;m supposed to be saying nice things about Obama.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Hey, I&#039;m not saying what you should or should not be doing.  

I&#039;m just saying that if you&#039;re going to complain about everything he does, no matter what it is he actually does, don&#039;t expect anybody to take your criticisms seriously.</description>

Well, he&#039;s very clean.
Oh, wait.. that one&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/31/biden.obama/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;already been covered.&lt;/a&gt; Heh... maybe that&#039;s how Biden got to be VP, huh?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;m not saying you can&#039;t, I&#039;m saying you can&#039;t seem to do anything else.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But that&#039;s the topic.
You&#039;d rather, perhaps I started discussing beermaking instead?</description>

		<description>&quot;After all, Surgeon General is primarily a communication and education role. We have history on Gupta doing that, without (to my knowledge) the gaffes.&quot;

Seems to me odo got it right, in a neat and concise fashion.

But whatup with charles j&#039;s silly rant about &quot;Obama showing the country what is can be....&quot; ??

I must live in alternative universe; maybe former minority appointees/choices (to weightier positions) like Secys. Rice and Powell, Gov. Palin or Justice Thomas, just to name a few, were just a dream.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Perhaps, but considering who named him to the position, and the number of Clintonistas he&#039;s named to various positions, how would you say that&#039;ll fall out, hmmm?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You can add comment-547984 to yesterday&#039;s list.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yeah, Triumph is a fun troll. Problem is, he&#039;s not dumb enough. His faux-crazy ramblings are still 15 iq points higher than bithead&#039;s &#039;analysis&#039;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

The best indication I could get that I&#039;m on the right path, is when you start in with lame crap like this.... thank you.</description>

		<description>I recall that Gupta got into some minor trouble with his honchos at CNN for the surgeries he performed in Iraq--you know, he became part of the story, etc. I recall thinking the CNN folks were idiots for that. Then I thought of Michael Herr in &lt;em&gt;Dispatches&lt;/em&gt;, when he wrote that one night he got on the wrong side of the story when he had to help repel a VC attack. If his honchos at &lt;em&gt;Esquire&lt;/em&gt; ever knew about this, they never said a word that I know of.</description>
