What is happening to our country? (Update)
People are talking and lying. Some are talking and within that talk some people are lying but talking just the same. The statement as it stands is not to imply, idiomatically speaking, that talkers are “truth tellers” and liars are not.
It is a good thing people are talking. When people talk, you know where they stand. When a Black man decided to run for President of the United States, everybody was aware of it; tuning in big time and when you get that much tuning in and exposure, everybody has something to say, young and old alike.
The American population has not grown so significantly since Pres. Obama started running for President but rather it is the publicity of the event that has gotten people talking and when people start talking, liars are not far behind playing catch-up. They have their roles to play in a society. They are characters you simply can not write out of the script, try as you may. Even when they are not on stage, their presence is felt. Iago, if you will.
Many liars are just mesmerized, maybe even traumatized how the world is changing and how fast it is doing so. It is my opinion, the world is changing much to fast for them. They can not catch up. Left in the dust and tumbleweeds of an era that went by too swiftly for them they are literally embarrassed. Embarrassed with either their lack of appropriate education or due to confrontations with their own failures in their lives, some being very significant.
This group of liars are so boxed in by the bright light of sun-shine reality all around them they could be saying things like: “It is a matter of relevancy”; “I am somebody and do not want to lose my perceived status”; “I’m just as good as you are!” “Help me understand what is really going on!” and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered".
We see how Dick Cheney, poor man, is trying his damnest to drag Father Time back to the start line. He is being helped by Frank Caffney, Dr. Rice and, alas, even our own beloved “I’ll wait until the report comes out” Sec. Powell. I think I also see Richard Boehner and little Bobby Jidal, Ari Fletcher and a host of friends and relatives all pulling on the rope they have tied around the waist of Father Time whose only desire is to travel forward as painful as it is. Talking about stress! No “Smiley faces” here.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

* Obama Should Be Ashamed Only Two-Thirds Approve of Him
Excerpt:
So pity the poor media, especially those commenting from the right. Their frustration in not being able to control the storyline on Obama's presidency must be giving them fits. Their most recent attempt at finding the gloomy lining in Obama's silver cloud was that he is the "most polarizing president ever!" They focus in like a laser beam on a Pew Research poll which shows, in essence, that the Republican Party is shrinking down to its core base of very conservative people.
And
But Obama's polarizing approach challenges and changes the core of his political identity. His moderate manner and message appealed to a country weary of division and ambition -- a nation now asked to endure another round of both.
