		<description>We&#039;re talking Politics, for gosh sakes.
Politics.
It&#039;s who you know not what you know.
Perception is reality. 
Politics, just spin the perception and you are the master of reality.
Politics.
And you are trying to fien an intelligent conversation???

The meaningful question is, what does this all mean for you and me?
Think back to the summer before every election that elected a new Administration in the Fall. 
Reflect on the outgoing Administration; did you feel optimistic about your future? Did you feel upwardly mobile? compared to how you felt at the start?

Escalate! It was Johnsons war.
Nixon ended it.
We couldn&#039;t wait to put Carter in. I remember Optimistic times.
Carter to Regan..........
Regan to Bush...........
Bush to Clinton.........
Clinton to Bush........
Bush to Obama........
Today........................</description>

		<description>I consider myself a constitutionalist and a proud Tea Party member.  I couldn&#039;t agree with you more.  It&#039;s self-defeating to originate or relay these inaccurate postings, as they harm credibility of our cause.  

There is more than enough honest, accurate information right in front of our nose to support our belief that all Americans, and yes, the rest of the world as well, will benefit from the liberty and the free market system that our forefathers laid out for us.  There is no reason to prevaricate.</description>

		<description>I think the real issue here is that the conservative, republican etc groups are using the same tactics that the Demoncrap/communist have been using for years and now they are crying foul. Two wrongs don&#039;t make a right, but this is Washington DC politics and they are all lying scum..... so what&#039;s the problem? At least the &quot;article&quot; speaks the truth unlike the typical Demoncrap propaganda, ya know republicans want to kill and murder anyone not a Demoncrap!!!! But the hypocrisy there is the Demoncraps support baby murder, muslim honor killings and are the most anti Christian and anti white people in America! Liberalism is a Severe Mental Disorder.</description>

		<description>I just received this article in my email today.  Although I agree with the sentiment of the piece, I too, have discovered it wise to check out the facts before forwarding on.  Like many Americans, I am curious as to Obama&#039;s academic standing, how he managed to enter and pay for his schooling, who his friends were as a student, his associates as an aspiring politico.  If there is no skeleton, why all of the secrecy?  Why the avoidance of the issues?   I suspect that his closeted background is as lack-luster and deceptive as his public performance.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a retired librarian.  I do like to see things cited correctly.  Matt Patterson does write opinion pieces that appear in conservative sources, like Washington Times, and Washington Examiner, but not Washington Post.  The Affirmative Action piece appeared in American Thinker, an on-line collection for conservative and libertarian writers, and someone started circulating the rumor it was in WaPo probably mistaking it for Washington Times.  That&#039;s a bit like saying Fox News is ABC News because they both have the word News in their name.</description>

		<description>Thank you Burgundy Bob for making this point. What you said is so true! Whenever I receive an email containing information such as this one, before I forward it to any of my contacts I always do some research to verify if it is true. Like you, I knew the contents to be valid, but if I had forwarded this on, all I would have &quot;heard&quot; was that the email was not true b/c the author did not work for The Washington Post. The citizens of this country need to educate themselves and realize that there can be a lot of truth in an email that has a slight error in it. Be willing to search for the truth and not wait for it to be spoon fed to you. If they don&#039;t one day we may lose the choice to vote for any President.</description>
