You're right, I haven't read the Ayers's ghosted book (Dreams of My Father) nor have I read the one Obama wrote (Audacity of Hope). But pray tell, just what does reading a well-written book by a ghost writer and a not-so-well written book written by the author have to do with whether or not a person is a competent administrator or executive? And so far as my reading list, I'll put it up against yours any day. Have you read "Black Hole Wars"? Have you even heard of it? What makes you think the books by President Obama and his ghost (Ayers) are any the less propaganda than Glenn Beck's book? (Haven't read that either, by the way).

President Obama clearly is a gifted speaker so long as there is a teleprompter available– some might call that reading or acting . He's a very handsome man with lots of charisma. We haven't seen his SATs or his grades in college and/or law school so we don't know whether he was affirmative actioned into same, but if he was, he put those advantages over others to good use. He is an excellent role model as a husband and a father and clearly loves his family. He's a Marxist which is okay because in this country there are no prohibitions against political parties or religion (yet). (Christians and those practicing Judaism seem to be on the Left's Feces List). So far as snake-eyes (Couric) goes, she's a dimwit who ought to be worshiping at Sarah Palin's altar three times a day. She was dropping like a stone in jello until she snagged the Palin interview and burnished up her bonafides as a competent propagandist with her fellow travelers in the propaganda media.

Actually, I loved your post. You presented beautifully the liberal viewpoint — a lot of emotion, ad hominem attacks and accusations, not much substance. Keep it up. Independents on the fence reading your posts will most likely wonder what the hell they were doing voting for Obama.

(sound of crickets)

seems like most people here haven't even taken a peek, and are just parroting all the crap they hear on wingnut radio. which is incredibly trusting to me.
oh, yeah, reading. that takes a helluva lot more time than parking your @$$ in front of the propoganda channel. nevermind. palin didn't have time to read, either.

couric didn't seem terrified of palin in their interview. maybe it looked like terror to you… here you go people, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbQwAFobQxQ

quit the kool aid…it'll clear your vision.

get your guns holstered and hone your butter knives.. the slimy, nasty, creepy bleeding-heart liberals are going to suck you dry and leave your rotting husks by the roadside!! forget all that united we stand crap. KILL THE ENEMY!

and our own government in MY name and yours, too, has sent its military overseas resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths since 2003? you've got a bogeyman in your imagination, dude, and the real bogeyman has already caused so much grief that you fools are pinning on Obama, that listening to ya'll is like watching people stumble through the house-o-mirrors carnival freakshow, spinning and howling and seeing monsters everywhere but where they really are.

truly enlightening discussion here, it's made my friday.
