“Who does Obama consistently celebrate? It’s not the money-men – it’s men and women of honor.”

And who has he associated with for decades? The men and women of honor? Or the money men?

“As DH Lawrence once said of American writers, Trust the tale not the teller.”

Well that’s certainly convenient when dealing with O! But then again, which “tale” do you trust? Today’s? Yesterday’s? Or tomorrow’s? Or, as in the case of most O-philes, whatever tale happens to float their boat.

And in regards to his patriotism speech, I like this line. “…that we could have the right to pursue our individual dreams but the obligation to help our fellow citizens pursue theirs.”

Obligation?? The obligation to help my fellow citizens pursue their dreams? Uh huh.
