Gee cardiac, sex is always the first thought on my mind. If your first thought is the Clintons then you need some serious remedial therapy. My condolences are with you. I hope others here on sailnet will join me in praying for your quick recovery.

What can you learn if you don't have ideological glasses on? That event X led to event Y? That knowledge is useless unless you have some way of telling whether event Y was good or not, which I don't think you can do without some kind of value system.
You get the same thing in Canada, with people complaining about the Conservatives' being ideologues. Why is the left so uncomfortable with principles?

I'm not sure if I can take listening to the One for 4 years. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's like at the end of each sentence, he makes a paragraph stop, rather than a normal flow to the next sentence. What ever it is, it's starting to annoy the bejesus out of me.

At least he is speaking in whole sentences, unlike some recent presidents we could name. But hey I feel your pain. I know what it is like to have a President who annoys the living hell out of you every time he opens his mouth.

I'm agreeing with SCK, OMG.
Bush's speech patterns drive me crazy.
It's the media's sound bite timing that drives it. Politicians know they have 8 seconds to get the sentence out.

The Obamism that really grates on me is his interjection of "ya know" at every pause. When I graduated from college and went out into the grown-up world, I had to work hard to eliminate that from my speech. I'm reasonably certain that Harvard didn't teach him to do that, and his use of it legitimizes it for millions of young people entering the job market. I know it endears him to "the common folk," who like to think "he's just like us," but it's a practice that is best relegated to memory, along with one's teenage years, and such expressions as "whatever," and "whassup."

He only READS in whole sentences. Any time he has to SPEAK (not read) is speech is slow, stuttered and filled with, "Ummmm", and, "Uhhhh.." and the like.
Then he goes back to a prepared statement that he has memorized which has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
And the media acts like he is a miracle worker...he didn't do anything in the Senate in four years, what gives anyone an idea he will do anything now?
IOW he can't think on his own.

I've got nothing against the guy as a person. What bothers me is this fawning media bloviation that we've been treated to since his Speech in '04. To listen to them, you'd think even his farts are intelligent statements.
You can say Bush doesn't talk in full sentences, but at least he says something. Obama can talk for half an hour and you don't know any more when he's done than you did when he started.

I don't know or have an opinion on how well Obama is going to do.
I didn't support him because I wasn't really impressed by his record or his policies.
I do think that his success is in large part will be determined by events beyond his control. And his speech patterns are at least as annoying as GW's
But at this point, my attitude is this. I hope that in four years he will have convinced me to vote for his reelection. I truly wish him the best.
I could never bring myself to say that about Clinton. Hmm... I wonder if that means that I'm growing up... or growing senile?
