POPSI REALLY want to like this guy.
Going more on general "feeling" and a lack of research on my own part, I "sense"(?), hope(?) that Obama does turn out to be more of a real-world, moderate with common-sense, goodwill, and strength when necessary, than some have declared him to be. Not a good basis for my decision is it? I know. Still, after McCain's disgusting display of dishonesty in the debates (smearing Romney) on one hand,...and the distasteful (putting it mildly) notion of the Clintons on the other, there is a lot to like about Barack Obama. Here is his chance to show what his stuff is. Most troublesome,however, are some of the aides and advisors, not to mention the radical leftists of the population who could over-react with a disproportionate sense of inflated power and grandeur, were he to be elected. At this, for me still, somewhat ignore-ant point in my insight into the man, I have found myself hoping Barak Obama survives the process, and comes through CLEANLY. One huge measure is how he responds to

POPSLack of Leadership @ MessNBC Leftist Professionalism = Oxymoron? I contend it IS possible, although by and large, the two don't arise mutually without some marked effort. But by placing less radical minds in charge who will deliberately allow their lefties to follow their political inclinations as a conscious alternative to FOX/RIGHT and CNN/CENTER , while constantly demanding professionalism and guiding them through all the predictable adolescent rebellion, pouting, and resistance to authority, The "Mess" can clean it up,take some pride in who they are and express their leftiness responsibly, not just in behavior. I believe it can be done. db.

POPSThis Guy Ain't No Bill Clinton. Obama will be good for America. And if you are still hankering for Hillary because of notions you've been holding onto for some time now, or some revival of the '90's......STOP......and really LOOK at the candidates. LOOK at the difference.Look in their eyes. Listen to their voices. Watch their mannerisms. Look at whether they are hiding something or not. You can tell. If you have come to believe that Hillary has plans and goals that have so convinced you and that are so important to you that you are willing to overlook the proven track record of deceit and the obvious disdain she feels for people and the phony front she uses to mask it, then I think it is time you re-examine your understanding of those goals and plans you think she has for America. Then re-adjust them back down to reality. Then, after that, compare them to Obama's. As thin as they've been, he has a philosophy - which is more than just hope. He will do things because they are the correct thing to do rather than who

POPSHillary Admits Fox News Is Fair No adults,however, anchoring MessNBC. Election coverage is an abomination in terms of professionalism. K.O. is pre-occupied fantasizing himself to be one of journalism's historical figures (gag me) and now sidekick Matthews flounders with no guidance or structure, as Williams, Russert, and Brokaw - each capable in their own right - are alternately amused, to uninspired, to disgruntled. MessNBC has always been a mess but rather than finding solutions and seeking professional levels and standards, the ideology remains the priority as it drifts further left. As it falls completely off the leftist edge, it manifests in new ways. As disrespect for authority and disdain for responsible behavior become more the order of the day on the set one sees the inevitable lack of respect they have for each other, dripping mostly from Olbermann's rude sideways glances to belittle his peers. This is the inside glimpse of classic leftist/liberal mindset as it is evident in common scenarios beyond strict

POPSWho's Voting For This Guy????? Proof (?) the OLD-media still runs the show? It seems that the web and talk radio are quite aware of the Hillary-style contempt J.Mc has for the voters, and the similar ability and willingness to speak a lie directly to a man's face, in front of the world, maintain that lie, and scoff contemptuously at the truth then - AS IF IT WAS THE LIE.!!! Who is it that observes this behavior, in light of the OBVIOUS REAL TRUTH - yet says: "Yes. This is a guy I can trust." WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR PEOPLE? *Two pair of candidates. *In each set one who lies in the face of the truth, plays a childish psychology of blaming, contemptuous rationalizing, storytelling, and manipulation, who wobble from stance to stance revealing an inner core standing for nothing. *And alternatives who are, well, a little better than that, anyway, but who are less connected to the old machinery and can each exude an honest sense of success WITHOUT the puppet strings and the backing of the same power gangs. *W

POPSRomney Buys No ADs in Feb.5 States With Mitt against the rest, he's through. He's got the money. The little gang of wimps have ganged up on him and the masses aren't going to see them for who they are . I'm already accepting that it is probably MCCain and Hillary. Should I have more faith in the intelligence of our citizenry? The trending makes me doubt it.

POPSDishonest?....or.....Stupid? Take a good hard look at the antics of John McCain and don't let the "hero" card get in your way. I ask America: Why do we put as frontrunners two smug, manipulating, LYING, backstabbers like Hillary Clinton and John McCain? Ask yourself! Ask your friends! Ask your family! Why do we flock to these people. Is it a reflection of our own collective self-imagery? Then let's admit we ourselves may be scoundrels at times ~~ AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER IN OUR LEADERS!

POPSCalculated "straight-talk" LIAR I agree with the author of this post ~ WORD FOR WORD. How could one miss this? And having seen it, what then does it say about one who saw it, yet supports McCain still? It says that that person supports a liar, a childish smirking, unjustifiably self-important emotional adolescent who has to LIE to get over on others.

POPSJohn McCain - Hero, Emotional BABY. Can anyone, after watching this display and the impish smirk, support the guy come Jan.31st. Let alone Feb 5th. If you were not against his political deception in the past, you have to despise his disgusting display of his inner personality in this debate. I thought Mitt might have chucked it all for the chance to pop him in the mouth a good one. What a little punk.

POPSThe Ghost of Lawrence Welk "Stop the bubble machine." It takes an amateur sometimes to sense a concept in their soul without a bunch of technical knowledge to get in the way and cloud a person's insights. There just seemed something fake, artificial "built on sand" about the tech and housing markets. And to fit the evolving puzzle, the next piece had to be global in scale; had to have emotional and convincing sponsorship; and had to step up the stakes in terms of a sense of necessity if not desperation -- and that piece -- that new bubble -- is YOU GUESSED IT -- GLOBAL WARMING. If you haven't been suspicious of the promotion of this thing your head is....well, you've been played. Or something. The growth of the tech industry was not the way business grows in a healthy manner; people's squandering of every new dollar of their wildly inflated, on-loan home equity was as self-destructive as a cocaine addict blowin' the month's pay in one night; and -- NOW -- the corporate world being in an unnatural perverse int

POPSAnd The Wink Says,"I Just Lied" "...and I'm a true conservative" WINK,WINK! With a sly grin. Right in front of the world. Review the victory speech in Florida. ....also.....Mitt has to inject some fresh catch phrases and become more spontaneous and touch some hearts and minds in the next week or he is TOAST.

POPSTo Celebrate Jack LaLanne Great example of "why we're here." Maybe start a list of people like Jack who overcome, excel, serve, and educate while keeping their soul. Use it for reference when the kids wonder why we're here ~ and so they don't wander while they're here.

POPSRacist Agitates Failed HomeBuyers Having actually benefited from the largest lowering of the financial bar - in terms of qualifying for home loans - certain low-income groups have found in the demographics a reason to pretend it's racism that they have failed to make their payments and/or the due-diligence required to refinance or understand what they had entered into contractually. We know that there is no white t-shirt, musclebound, gold earring guy who jumps out of the Mr.Clean bottle That's marketing. It should be clear that a $250,000 home will never give you equity at the rate of $250 a month. Let alone ever get paid for. It was never a secret that these payments would jump after an introductory period. It was on news, talk shows, T.V., radio, print, web, etc. What part of "interest only" makes you think that is an arrangement one should relax with? Now suddenly the Rev.Suckup inflames people into thinking they're being targeted because they are black. Democrats would freeze rates for years thereby putting th

POPSSlime Can't Touch Integrity Obama standing strong. What is wrong with people who can't see what that woman is made of? Drop the dynasty in its tracks. You think there hasn't been a partnership of the Bushes and Clintons? I'd vote for Barack if for nothing more than to put that woman in her place. It just so happens it's a win/win. Barack deserves the vote. That is a straight-up guy even if I don't agree with some of his ideals. Not very far from McCain now, is he?!

POPS$$$ = MONEY 101 = $$$ Start listening to Financial radio shows. Not to take every voice on faith but, alternately, to begin learning to weed out the B.S.'ers from the educators and the range in between.The great mysterious machine called the economy has so many variables and you start to see things above and apart from the politically charged blaming and overly simplistic "explanations" and theories. To the extremist types - the radically anti-business - you can get back to learning what makes for good economic function, and dysfunction, and be relieved FINALLY - of the yoke of your political oppositions, freeing you to accept principles your politics may have restricted you from acknowledging. It can be like that WAMU ad where the old bankers are naked and reveling in their new-found freedom. And it works in the philosophical reverse just as easily. The primary goal being to empower those of us who need to remember that there is so much available out there to build our $ future upon. The expectations

POPSRomney Ahead More Than 2:1 What wins is number of delegates. Put to the side all the B.S. from the idiots trying to sway things. There are STILL - as of Jan.19th - people saying Romney doesn't have the support to keep going. Mostly those are the ones who believe the "sway" artists really control the campaigns and that the thing is won by mindless voters who will change their votes according to who won the previous primary. RIDICULOUS.

POPSFred Thompson in Glimpses Olbermann embarrasses the news business with his complete un-professionalism. "MessNBC" with their intentional audio inclusion of the unseen production crew, saw it acceptable to loudly razz an inspiring speech by Fred Thompson from So.Carolina early Saturday evening. K.O.along with Chris Matthews, come off like a pair of drop-outs sharing a 40 oz.'er and a joint - guys like Joe Scarborough have to be completely embarrassed having to appear with "The Most Disgusting News Fraud IN THE W-O-R-L-D! ! !" Matthews, having been relegated to sidekick to squinty-eyed Keith, asks the most absurd questions of each analyst and reporter that they don't even try to answer, wondering if he's actually even serious or not. There's nothing more disgusting than taking personalities like those two, making them feel self-important, and fueling that with alcohol. They are clearly drunk, resulting in a vulgar display of adolescent political analysis and childish disrespect for those that are the adult

POPSSupreme Dirty Spirit Clear to See. "Clinton herself fanned the fumes of patronization when she reached clumsily for an analogy that appeared to link Obama and King to simplistic hopers and dreamers, while it took a white man, President Johnson, to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964." "Up to now, the Democratic race has been a victorious story of Americans saying they found it hard to choose between Obama, Clinton, and John Edwards, with issues and personality mattering more than gender or race. Let us hope the candidates, particularly Hillary Clinton, remember that, before they divide the Democrats into a bitter, weakened bunch for November."
