hillary won't challenge barack - she likes him too much, she's no backstabber, she doesn't even want to be president at this point. but i admit he's in trouble if the economy doesn't turn around although i don't see another worthy candidate. perry seems to be a tea partier, is that right? they've already been discredited by anyone with a sound mind.

These types of stories don't make the news unless someone has an agenda.

You've got that right. But let's not mischaracterize the most likely manipulators -- the right wing extremists (such as yourself). This is a red-herring, manufactured by the right, to sway public opinion. It is a yet another desperate attempt -- probably 'legitimized' by Fox News, lol -- to undermine one party for the benefit of the other. Fox has been throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks ever since Obama started to gain public favor during the pres. campaign. They have never accepted him as our pres., and have never stuck to real and current issues. They have become very trivial in their approach (Fox & Co., meaning the Far Right). To their credit, it has worked. They have manage to sway the gullible masses in Middle America and the south.

I don't agree with much of what Obama has done recently, but relinquishing control to a spoiled bunch of Republican babies would be far, far worse. Unfortunately, it is the lack of partisanship on the Right that has forced Obama to compromise his agenda, which has worsened things for the middle and working classes. Shame on all of them.

But make no mistake about it, Obama is no Pres. Carter. He has been forced to moderate his agenda to appease the right. That's politics. I welcome the Tea Party on some positions, like fiscally conservative policy, and despise them on others, like the desire to deregulate business and allow them to police themselves. I seriously question their ethics regarding the latter -- it would be the late 90's all over again.

Finally, don't assume you are smarter then Obama. You are not. He knows how to play the game -- he and his advisors are playing a championship chess match here. You are playing solitaire. I'm not happy with many of the outcomes, but he's surprisingly keeping shit together, something dimwitted 'W' could never do. He was a disgrace to this country like no other, not even Carter.

I enjoy your commentary, so keep it coming, but if you want some credibility in your opinions, take out the heavily exaggerated and embellished innuendo. Or leave it in, it's very entertaining.
