And this sums everything up. I think Bill Clinton will go down in history as one of our best presidents. His charisma and compassion have been met only by Obama in recent U.S. political history. However, if he was anywhere near the presidency, even as the husband of the VP, his shadow would eclipse Obama's. A president cannot govern effectively when they're playing second fiddle to someone else.

how old were you when bill was in office? and according to you by asserting that bill knows how do be an 'effective leader', don't you think he would know when to stand down if his spouse were in office? don't great leaders know how do that, or does bill's out of control 'chrismo and compassion' supercede his leadership skills? <> |

I don't feel that Reagan was a great president. I find him highly overrated especially in his asinine trickle-down economics philosophy and his defense policies (i.e. the massive waste of money that was STAR WARS). I give him credit for helping to end the Cold War and standing firm to Gorbachev, but I don't feel he belongs on a list of our best presidents.

That "Palin mob" video is 100% scary. It looks like "small town America" has a bigger problem with drugs and alcohol than they'd like to admit...
![]() Here's John from yesterday, feeding the flames of senility: I love how his daughter (I'm assuming that's who the blonde is) makes half a grimace as she realizes her old man is exactly that. Again---do we really want a guy who spent years in a box, having his limbs broken, tortured--as the guy with his finger on every major button? Looks to me like it's constantly on his mind...

I can't even begin to tell you how disturbing I find it that so many Americans think that it's a bad thing to be smart. Learned about the world. Curious about learning new things. For pete's sake, why would you NOT want the leader of our country to be seen as an intelligent person?
Even if you're from modest backgrounds and modest means, and haven't had a lot of education, wouldn't you want the person running your country to be smarter than you? I do not understand it, and I never will. Is it that some people have the perception that anyone who has more education than they do looks down on them? If that's the case, kindly tell them to take the chip off their shoulders and GET OVER IT. (Yes, I realize that there are people who look down on those less educated. But you can't just assume that every educated person does.) Also, and somewhat related, Sarah Vowell was on The Daily Show a few nights ago and said something really interesting. Basically, she chided the Republican politicians for coming to New York and embracing them all in a big 9/11-we-will-never-forget-we-stand-by-our-New-Yorkers hug and as soon as they're gone, sneering at all those "east coast snooty elites." |

Factcheck.org hasn't been churning out as many analyses as they should be.
CNN.com, however, seems to have picked up the slack. Looking at the fact checks on CNN.com, it seems to me that in the last week or so, Obama's claims are getting more "True" or "True but incomplete" grades, while McCain's seem to be garnering many, many more "False" or "Misleading" grades. Obviously, this can be a result of which statements CNN.com chooses to factcheck. However, I believe that it's also a direct result of the strategies that each campaign has been using. Obama--talk the issues, point out contrast, and ride high. McCain--dirt and slime and twisted truths in order to plant seeds of doubt.

I completely blame George Bush & Karl Rove. During the 2000 and 2004 elections, they pointed out cultural differences within the United States and magnified them to cartoonish proportions in order to use them to their advantage.

Not this again.. Is John McCain an ANGRY man? Do you have the same standards for angry men and angry women? fyi, some of the "angriest" women are those who feel forced to internalize their anger and other emotions. Sometimes that's because of an angry man |
