mgdrmom! You are a sad, pitiful, uninformed media puppet looking for ways to condemn a man based on heresay and one time events that may or may nor have taken place. An entire life on the record overwhelmingly putting his country first in ways that you coukd not name a single American as his equal. You condemn an American hero for surviving captivity for 5 yeears putting "his men" before his option for release an the basis of honor. To this you call the man a danger? In the mirror you no doubt see a fool, led by the nose by fools of fools. You can change if you release your hate. We are routing for you.

Why is anyone trying to dish up some dirt on this woman???? I am sure that it's because Michelle oBAMA CAN'T keep her big mouth shut...that's typical black women..Women who are raised with social skills tend to keep their mouths shut while raising a solid, well educated, and secure family!!! Michelle is NO LADY!!! And to attempt to compare the two is ridiculous and assnine...

How long have you been black? I ask only because you seem to know so much about us. I fully understand what Michelle Obama was saying and it doesn't have anything to do with how her family raised her. It is very hard to be really proud of a country that can't bring itself to be proud of you. I, like Michelle, was a good student, obtained college degrees and went on to a professional that was honorable and worthwhile. Yet, most of my life I have been aware that some of white America considered me inferior and was bound and determined to let me know it. As a child, I refused to join my family when they visited the South because I could not bear having to sit on the back of the bus, or drink out of colored only fountains, Nevertheless, even then the "Star Spangled Banner" filled me with pride. However, I can't say I was really proud of my country. I couldn't be because my country was not proud of me.

Even your screen name indicates a personal preoccupation with being a victim!
Why should your country be proud of you, when you won't even strive to be the best that you can be?
Instead you appear to want pride to be served to you on a silver platter.
It just doesn't "work" that way -you have to WORK to achieve that pride by helping others and thereby elevating your own worth!
Hopefully you're not deluding yourself by expecting the government to give you that pride without you doing anything to achieve it yourself.
Slavery, blacks being relegated to riding in the back of the bus, and blacks being expected to use the black segregated fountains ended many years ago - don't rely on that convenient crutch - get with the times, and contribute to society!
Yes, I admit that I have been forthright in my reply to you.
Hopefully you will take my suggestion to heart - I will pray for you in that regard!
But it all has to start with you!-

OMG - "Michelle is no lady" -- since when do Bourgeois Bigots tell the rest of us ladies how to behave? They're the shrews of our history books, the witch burners, the pious saints stabbing other women in the back, the Puritans promoting their piety while sinning in secret beyond anyone's wildest imagination....
McCain - Insanely Rich, yet still collecting Social Security.
Out of touch, but not out of money.
$600 Gucci tassled loafers with his dockes to see the Dalai Lama. Haute Couture of the Country Club Class.
Celebrities are apparently disdained, looked down upon by the super-elitists like Bushes and McCains (and ROMNEYS) who are worth, individually, at least $100 million a year in personal wealth. But not social security from the Government - that is definitely worth pocketing - it's about milking the country for all it's worth.-

Enter Your Comment How sad and racist you are. You are why this country is seen as so backwards. The color of someones skin does not dictate their actions. Michelle is a highly educated, family oriented and classy woman. Let me guess, if the Obamas were white and named the Petersons you would love her then. Get your head out the past and realize that times are changing and your kind are fazing out quickly!

You seem to fixate on those "$600 Gucci tassled loafers" - are you jealous?
Then get off your behind and work to afford a pair.
Oh, by the way, they do seem to be quite a worthwhile financial investment - just last week, another jealous obamabot said that they were worth $500. So that's a $100 appreciation in one week. Fantastic!

Check out this link as to who the real John McCain is:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html
Not discussed much that John was having other girl friends when he was married. Also the article makes it sound like Cindy was a Navy wife when she was not married to John until after he left the Navy.-

Enter Your CommentFirst of all Johnny boy called his wife one of the worst words you can call a woman. He said it in front of three Arizona reporters. He is a scary and over the edge man. Imagine spending over five years being tortured, what does that do to your emotional state?......oh yes I know you pick someone like Palin.....he is crazy and I would be frightened to know that he has his finger on the button! look at the October issue of Rolling Stone...it sums up McNasty's life.

At the Republican convention a man talked about how Cindy McCain went to Mother Teresa's orphanage and was given 2 almost dying infants, one with a clef palate, to take home and she carried them in her arms and gave his family one and kept the other. Can someone explain to me how she could get these two infants home without diapers, bottles, etc, how she carried them herself all that time, and how did she get them into the United State and by what authority give one away and keep one? Private airplane? Were these children legally adopted? The young girl on stage apears to be frozen there, trying to smile but looking pretty blank, altho quite pretty, as though she didn't know what was going on. I saw no scars on either girls' mouth to indicate clef palate. It's a great story, but how did she do it?

Hi, Snooger,
Please look at my comment a bit after yours. I have newspaper clippings showing Cindy holding Bridget and my mom holding Leela (now Kimberly). The photo I have shows a very deformed baby Bridget - cleft lip and pallate. In Bangladesh, these two infants had the great misfortune of being girls (strike #1), very dark (strike #2), and Bridget with a cleft lip (very obvious strike #3 from which she probably would have died if left in the orphanage due to lack of the special type of medical care she would need). It turned out that Leela (Kimberly) had to have heart surgery when she got to the United States (her strike #3). Cindy didn't carry both little girls at a time but she carried Bridget at times and my mom carried her at others. There were other women on the teams, as well as men, who could and would have taken turns carrying the little girls. They were ORPHANS being lovingly cared for by the nuns so this adoption was probably most welcome. The babies and Cindy traveled by regular commercial airplanes since there was a good-sized medical team accompanying Cindy - the team that traveled to these foreign countries to help underserved people with their health issues.
As for Kimberly, I thought she spoke with great composure on the stage (picture yourself at 17 in front of a large audience besides the huge one viewing her on TV), acknowledging her adoptive family and her gratitude for the life she has by being adopted into such a loving family.
As I stated earlier, the McCain's are a family much to be admired. If only we all were so servant-hearted.

Cindy and John like to talk about how they believe in family values and the importance of marriage, yet they met when John was still married to another woman and began an affair. Once John dumped his crippled wife, he married the very rich and insecure Cindy. They both saw the opportunity in one another, her father's money and power and his family history. As parents they are equally as rotten. As a resident of Arizona, I have a relative that was the head of nursing when Cindy and John delivered their babies. She had a planned c-section at 32 weeeks, which left the baby in the hospital for two months for care. As soon as Cindy delivered the baby she left the hospital and did not return. The nannies were given all the instructions for care and the baby was discharged to the nanny. Cindy and John did not have anything to do with the kids. In the case of the second child, being born at 32 weeks as a PLANNED c-section, the baby was very ill and could have potentially cause lasting damage to the baby. Cindy is a self-serving and horrible human being. She wants the white house more than John. Any woman who would wear a 300 thousand dollar outfit, while most of the US is struggling to eat and save their homes and families makes me sick. This couple is so fake and untrustworthy. Cindy is evil...pure and simple.

I would like to offer a small positive contribution about Cindy McCain. Cindy led medical teams to foreign countries from approximately 1988 to 1995 (somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 trips.) The team members paid their own way and many of the volunteers returned for several trips to different countries. My mother was one of these volunteers, assisting on 5 of these trips. My mom went to Bangladesh with Cindy when the McCain's found their little abandoned baby girl, Bridget. Cindy fell in love with Bridget. My mom was given the privilege of carrying Bridget on the plane from Bangladesh to Arizona and every time John McCain would see my mom after the trips she went on with Cindy and the teams, he told her they wouldn't have their little Bridget if it hadn't been for her. She knew she wasn't really responsible for their having their little girl, but it sure warmed her heart to receive that recognition from John McCain.
This family is so interested in helping others. They offer of themselves and their blessings from God. They sure have MY vote!

Cindy McCain is under a lot more scrutiny than Michelle Obama, and my heart goes out to her. My heart goes out to Mrs. Obama as well because she has suffered attacks too. When will we, the American people, and the media, begin respecting these women and focusing on the ISSUES rather than vicious gossip? I believe everyone has made a few mistakes, concentrate on fixing your own problems before attacking these women.

Psychoanalytic Dialogues,
Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy: The Dark Side of Charisma
By Sue Erikson Bloland, C.S.W.
Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy are both exceptionally charismatic figures who achieved enormous popularity as U.S. Presidents. And both have been revealed (one posthumously and one while still in office) as compulsive womanizers who risked their political careers (if not the welfare of the country) in the addictive pursuit of sexual gratification. Should we be shocked to learn that these well-loved leaders???or that Mao Ze-dong, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King???qualify as sexual addicts?
What we have come to know posthumously about the personal conduct of many of history's most extraordinary political leaders suggests that a combination of charismatic personality, a drive to attain power, and sexual compulsivity is a common pattern among heads of state.

Oh please, Clinton and JFK were screwning around on their wive's before the ink dried on thier marriage license. Becoming President didn't turn them into skirt chasers, they were years before they were elected. McCain is the one that belongs in that group since he is the one that has a history of cheating on his wife.

No, not at all. I have been a moderate Republican my entire voting life, and have always voted Republican, but not any longer. I am now Independent. There is no way I would ever vote for McCain. The last 3 years of W's Presidency have become unbearable to watch, it's become an embarrassment. I travel all over the world, and I have never seen such hatred for this country because of his strong arm cowboy tactics. Even he admits now he was wrong and would do things differently. I am from Texas, and he was a great Governor, but a lousy President. I know his intentions were good, and I believe he is a decent man, but his bad decisions have just about ruined this country. I used to watch Fox News for years, but stopped after months and months of Hannity's obsession with Obama. He hasn't reported one new thing on the man, just continues to rehash the same thing each and every show. I am all for equal coverage on all the candidates, but if they are going to call their show "fair and balanced" then they should treat each candidate with the same scrutiny, which they don't. This will be my first year voting for a Democrat, and I still can't believe I am, but I truly believe he is the best one for the job. There are some things he wants to do that will affect me, like raising the capital gain tax, but it will be well worth it if he can get this country back on track, and find a way to end a war that should never of been in the first place, that is costing us billions.

What is costing us billions is our congress and their ever existent attitude of NOT allowing the US to use our own resources. The war is just one of many issues. You can not blame one side for it. Congress chose to let the President send in the troops. Yet now, many years later we want to play armchair quarterback second guessing - using information that was NOT present at the time the rest of the world felt the threat (remember the UN pressure on Iraq). It is amazing how very quickly Americans forget history.

Posted By: Isabella38 @ 06/29/2008 11:00:41 AM
I haven't forgotten a thing. I have always been against sending hundreds of thousands of troops into Iraq to begin with. They had nothing to do with 9/11. There were other ways to of handled the situation. If our intelligence was so great, we could of easily made bombing missions to destroy the locations where these non-existent weapons of mass destruction were located. I just pray that we don't repeat that same mistake with Iran. I simply don't trust our faulty intelligence anymore. Israel has their own agenda. If they want to wage war on Iran, then that's their choice, but we don't have the resources or soldier numbers to wage another all out war. I simply don't trust anything coming out of the White House anymore. Trust me, I fully support those brave young men and women who are giving their lives, and I honor your service to this country. I just don't want to see anymore maimed or killed on a war that we can't win. That is what I hope for with someone new in the White House, someone willing to use diplomacy instead of strong armed tactics, because they sure aren't working, just making us more unsafe. We both have our opinions, and differences, and I respect yours.

Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 06/30/2008 12:26:37 AM
Reasons for the war are irrelevant at this point. But there was some good out of it. You should talk to some of the people on the streets in Iraq. They are extremely happy to be liberated from a tyrant. Think how happy you would be in the same situation. As for Weapons of mass destruction, Saddam had used them in the past - some on his own people. WMD's aren't only nuclear - Chemical and biological weapons are part of it as well. The war on terrorism isn't one that is worthless. Granted, people die in war, but I am more fed up with our administration of the past who allowed civilians to be killed by not responding to terrorism. Either way someone dies which is just a part of war. But doing something rather than doing nothing at least gives us something to be proud of. Should we gie up the war on terror, terror will find its way to our homes. 9/11 was a very small example. Many who argue against us doing anything have never been to or seen countries that live it all of the time. Immagine allowing your children to go to school, never knowing if they will make it back because some a$$hole coward decided to attack the streets. There are some countries who deal with this daily. So like the reason or not, we are there and should not give up. To give it up now would have been a waste of time, money, effort and lives. At that point SHAME would be on us. Yes, I sound like a warmonger, and do support killing every last terrorist we can get the opportunity to kill. Had you seen children blown apart by cowards, you would most likely think that way as well. So call me a warmonger because I say if the animal is a terrorist, kill them all and let God sort them out.

Posted By: Isabella38 @ 06/30/2008 4:39:11 AM
I am completely in agreement with you in our fight against terrorism. I was and am all for the war in Afghanistan, and any other country that attacks us. If we had taken the first World Trade Center attack seriously, and taken action then, the second would of never happened. Iraq did not attack us. The only terrorist there was Saddam before we invaded. I know that some of the people are better off without him, but for every one Iraqi you ask if they are better off now than before the occupation, you will find five more that say they are not. I doubt the millions who have fled their country would feel they are better off. They used to not have to worry about letting their children out to play, or to attend school without the fear of a suicide bomber. We created the chaos it's in today. I have traveled all over the Middle East, and live part of the year in Egypt. I have seen the aftermath of a suicide bomber (Sharm). I do volunteer work in the West Bank at a school that was formed by a Palestinian and Israeli. We teach the children tolerance for one another, among other things, to find a better way than killing each other, to live in peace side by side. Yes, we do owe it to the Iraqis to help rebuild their country, but their government also needs to step up, which they won't, if we continue a never ending occupation. I really don't know the answer to the mess there, no one does, but twenty years from now, nothing will change. Look at the Israel/Palestinian conflict which has been going on 60 years, and will continue another 60 years. Occupation simply won't bring about peace. No, I do not think you are a war monger, you love this country as I do, and we both want what's best for it. We just have a difference of opinion on some things, but in the end, we both want it safe.

Did anyone really believe Bill when he said it either? His body language and wording practically screamed "I'm lying" when it occurred. Next point... how many POTUS lost their license to practice law while still in office for the offense of PERJURY? See the distinctions? Bill was in a (low)class all of his own!

Gutsy of this reporter to refer to the perpetrators of the 2000 smear campaign simply as McCain's "opponents": why are you afraid to name them Ms. Bailey? It was George W. Bush and his chief political advisor Karl Rove, working with Marvin "Compassionate Conservative" Olasky of God's World Publications of Asheville, NC who engineered the smear campaign against Cindy, calling her a drug-addict and darkly suggesting her adopted daughter was a mulatto "love child" of an illicit affair with a black woman.
In other words, a blatant, demagogic appeal to the basest instincts of South Carolina's hardcore Republican bigots.
And, it worked -- beautifully. Bush overtook McCain's lead and went on to victory.
Did John McCain defend his wife and child's honor in a manner befitting a decorated soldier -- a punch in the face to Mr. Bush and / or Mr. Rove would have been entirely justified. No, he took the smear without fighting back and then, after Bush stole the election, McCain cozied up to the new Commander-in-Chief to advance his own political career.
Shame on you John McCain...
Shame on anyone who would vote for a party that uses such tactics.

Dems choose Obama in thunderous acclamation
Yahoo News by David Espo, AP Special Correspondent Wed Aug 27, 7:18 PM ET
Clinton's call for Obama to be approved by acclamation ??? midway through the traditional roll call of the states ??? was the culmination of a painstaking agreement worked out between the two camps to present a unified front.
My commentary:
So, democrats, in order to portray a false unification, schemed to allow politics to trump the democratic process.
And they are insulted when people don???t refer to them as the democrat(ic) party!
Yes, the truth is offensive to the democrat party!

McCain uses Vietnam ordeal against jibes over wealth
REUTERS by Andrew Gray Aug. 25, 2008
BURBANK, California (Reuters) - John McCain, who often invokes his ordeal as a Vietnam war prisoner to show his devotion to his country as he runs for U.S. president, drew on the experience again on Monday -- this time to deflect sniping over the number of houses he owns.
McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama last week accused the Republican senator of being out of touch with ordinary people after he was unable to say in an interview how many houses were owned by him and his wife Cindy, a wealthy heiress to a beer distributorship.
In an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, McCain, 71, said his priority was to keep Americans in their homes in tough economic times.
Then he recalled his Vietnam experience.
"I spent 5 1/2 years in a prison cell without -- I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair," he said.
"I spent those 5 1/2 years ... not because I wanted to get a house when I got out."
U.S. HOUSING WOES
Rising energy prices and the faltering economy have become central issues in the race for the White House. The next president will inherit problems including a mortgage crisis that has cost many Americans their homes.
McCain said he was prepared to deal with that and sought to play down the controversy over his family's assets.
"I'm proud of my record of service to this country and it has nothing to do with houses. What it has to do with (is) putting Americans in houses and keeping them in their homes. And that's what I know how to do," he said to loud cheers from the studio audience.
On the show the Arizona senator listed four homes he and his wife have -- one in the Washington area, two in Arizona and one in California. Media reports and Democrats have said the couple have at least seven properties when investments are included.
McCain said he was proud of the way his wife's father had built up a large business after fighting in World War Two.
With the Democrats engaged in their convention in Denver this week that will formally nominate Obama and the Republicans due to meet next week, polls show the two candidates locked in a dead heat in the popular vote. McCain predicted a tight finish in the November 4 election
Obama's house in the affluent Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park is worth more than $1.5 million, and he has made millions from the publication of two autobiographical books.

Davole,
You would like us all to believe and follow your thought process, well thank GOD that he gave me a brain and common sense to use it. No thank you. I love my right to make my own choices about my body. I do not make 5 million dollars a year, so therefore I guess I am screwed. Say what you want, McCain is not the answer to my prayers. He has no respect for women and if they vote for him, they will deserve whatever he dishes out to them. I strongly believe that if Obama was of another nationality, he would be getting much KUDOS!!! You speak of 9/11, what about Hurricane Katrina and how he deserted those poor people. No one dare to speak of that.-

I like your screen name - sounds very humble!
Since you have posted your comment to me as a new topic to discuss, I don't know which post or reply of mine you are criticizing.
Yes, God has given you a free will, and a conscience, and will hold you accountable for your actions in life.
I believe that He considers all life to be sacred, and worthy of protection.
When the time comes, I hope that you will be in His "good book"!

Senior Dems Concerned Over McCain Gains
The Hill by Alexander Bolton Aug. 25, 2008
DENVER ??? Senior Democratic politicians are signaling concern about Sen. Barack Obama???s (Ill.) slip in the polls and are urging him to regain his edge against GOP rival Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).
Rep. John Dingell (Mich.), the longest-serving House Democrat, said Obama must realize the primary season is behind him and Republicans will ???run a very rough campaign against him.???
Dingell???s critique comes in the wake of polls showing that McCain has gained ground on Obama since the Democratic senator left the campaign trail for a family vacation in Hawaii. A CNN poll released Monday showed McCain and Obama in a dead heat.
???The campaign has not yet taken off,??? said Dingell in a telephone interview. ???He???s got to address things that go into a presidential campaign as opposed to a primary campaign. They???re very different campaigns.???
Even Obama???s allies, including Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the co-chairman of Obama???s campaign, acknowledge McCain has gained ground. Durbin said Obama???s absence from the news cycle during his Hawaii vacation, combined with Russia???s invasion of Georgia, gave McCain a chance to dominate the race over the last 10 days.
???We realize over the last week or 10 days that John McCain has had a 12-0 run in this basketball game,??? said Durbin, who hastened to add: ???We know the momentum can shift.
???My observation is, and I talked a little bit about it with Barack after [his] tour overseas with dramatic positive results, that we expected an evening of the playing field,??? he said.
Dingell said Obama can regain momentum if he addresses substantive issues such as a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, rebuilding of the nation???s roads and infrastructure, and the lack of health insurance for an estimated 47 million Americans, including 1 million in Michigan.
Dingell???s words carry weight because of his seniority in the House and his knowledge of Michigan politics. The AFL-CIO, an important ally of the Democratic Party, has identified Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania as the three most important battleground states of the campaign.
Durbin said Obama???s family vacation was ???well-deserved,??? but blamed Russia???s invasion of Georgia for focused media attention on McCain???s national security credentials. McCain is a former prisoner of war and senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
???All those things came together in a moment giving McCain the field ??? I mean, a stronger position than he might have otherwise have had,??? Durbin said.

Obama camp downplays Clinton backers at convention
MyWay by Darlene Superville Aug 25, 2008
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama's campaign dismissed concerns about the impact of die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton on the choreographed show of unity Democrats were opening Monday at their nominating convention.
Opening night at the Pepsi Center, the main venue for the four-day Democratic National Convention, aimed to tell the Illinois senator's personal story to the millions of voters nationwide who will begin tuning in to the presidential campaign. Obama's wife, Michelle, was the evening's keynote speaker.
An emotional highlight was expected to come with a video tribute to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The liberal stalwart was diagnosed in May with a malignant brain tumor and has had surgery and a six-week course of chemotherapy and radiation.
Behind the scenes, however, polls showing significant Clinton support still being denied to Obama and pro-Clinton demonstrations at offsite venues were creating a different kind of anticipation. Clinton has backed Obama and was scheduled to speak Tuesday night.
"There are a lot of delegates here who had passionate choices in an extended primary season," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Today" on NBC. "We feel confidant that if we can demonstrate a record of change, a record of vision ... a team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden can convince Democrats, Republicans and independents to support a ticket of change in November."
Republican candidate John McCain tried to widen any schism remaining between primary-season rivals with a TV ad featuring a Clinton supporter who now backs McCain over Obama.
"She had the experience and judgment to be president," says Debra Bartoshevich, identified by the McCain campaign as a former Clinton delegate. Of McCain, she says: "I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really!"

A vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of Bush... same failed policies on tax, foreign policy, the economy, education ... every single thing Bush touched turned to ashes, and with McCain it will be more of the same. Even his so-called "environmentalism" turns out to be a sham (he didn't even show up for the VOTE on the latest bill to lower greenhouse gas emissions) Plus he didn't support the latest bill for veteran's benefits -- that killed it. Finally any man who snaps out at his wife in public is way too angry for my taste. I think McCain will put the final nails into the coffin that Bush has built for America -- if we elect him, the downward trend becomes a death spiral.

Bush and McCain are two different leaders with two different platforms.
You naively claim that "every single thing Bush touched turned to ashes, and with McCain it will be more of the same."
Are you forgetting that after 9/11, Bush ensured that there would not be a repeat assault of that magnitude on American soil for the close to 8 years of his presidency?
And McCain is much more capable than the wet-behind-the-ears novice Obama of continuing that same degree of security!
Then you criticize McCain for not showing up "for the VOTE on the latest bill to lower greenhouse gas emissions." Have you ever bothered to think that maybe forest fires and volcanic activity contribute much more pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions than mankind does? Why won't the nefarious con man Al Gore agree to debate this issue with any scientists who oppose his unfounded allegations which would cripple the American economy?
And with reference to your comment that ???any man who snaps out at his wife in public is way too angry for my taste??? - when did that happen, what were the circumstances, did he apologize, and was the apology accepted? Has he repeated that disrespect, is he still married to his wife, and for how many years have they been married? Besides, have you never said anything to anyone which you later regretted?
And can you forgive?
Open up your mind, and THINK in a rational manner, instead of blindly following the same pathetic obamabot talking points which seem to ridiculously permeate this website!

Are you trying to be catty by your comment - "Nice family"?
I've noticed that you have been blogging on this website longer than I have, so I doubt the honesty of your quip - "I have never heard that Cindy McCain had a sister". How pathetic!
I must have seen at least 10 obomabot bloggers attempts to focus attention on Cindy McClean's sisters, and here you have the gall to suggest that you have never heard that she had a sister.
Oh, now I "get it" - you're merely doing a "Bill Clinton" concerning what the meaning of the word "is" is, except now you are playing freely with the word "heard," to the exclusion of the word "learned."
But I never really expect that any honesty would be displayed by an obamabot!
