A Touch of Class???
Ms. Walsh, no comment on Sen. Obama's less than graceful silence in the face of defeat? Barack Obama reminds us of a petulant, irate adolescent playing "Daddy", and refusing to acknowledge defeat when confronted fully by it. You know something? It was fun watching W. Mitt Romney spinning the results of the day. He walked away with yet another "Gold" from Nevada (failed to mention that he was pretty much unopposed), and placed at a high "loser" rank in South Carolina. His smile never slipped; his manners didn't suffer, even though he must have felt crushed with the South Carolina results. That is the definition of grace under fire.
Decency is limitless and does not cost a penny; whenever necessary, one can reach within to summon it, both the poor and rich alike. Yet, here we have the Great Uniter, the Grand Thinker, the Visionary, our Obama the Wonderful, who so inspires people to act in a Godly manner, that he does not have to micromanage people around him - oh, the joy of his company!
He has the manners of a bovine, and is completely bereft of the spirit of sportsmanship. You wonder what kind of father he will make in the long run, leave alone what he will do to the country, were we to be foolish enough to hand it over to him. It is good that both Ms. Obama and the children are "above average", or else this would be a tragedy.
Also, for someone who loathes “surrogates” vilifying opponents, he did a fine job of sticking Axelrod and Co. in front of the camera today. His friendly “527”s vilified the Clintons, yet he took exception to the garbage that Mark Penn and Co. were hauling towards him. Apparently, he never heard it said, “What’s food for the goose” etc.
We hope Chris Mathews is watching and taking note – far from being the moving and inspiring leader that Mathews thinks Sen. Obama is, he is just a man, with the same shortcomings, pettiness and narcissistic inflated-ego, as George W. has – only the package is different, especially because the kinks have been taken out of the shrink-wrap!
