27. You're looking for acts that he has committed -
in short, things he's done.

I'm looking at what he hasn't done. That video leaves an awful lot of room for interpretation, and that's exactly how campaigning should be done. It's an exercise in raising expectations without specificity.

My mind is hardly made up. That would be stupid. If anyone can explain to me why it's not feasible or reasonable or even legal to pursue the alleged crimes of the previous administration, I would be very interested in hearing them. So, let's not make this personal, shall we?

Did he stop the torture? I thought it had already stopped. How do you know he stopped it? In either event, that's good, but I don't trust the CIA or any of the other agencies, so if it's been stopped, that's a good thing.

Your interpretation of what I think is charming. Inaccurate, full of assumptions, and desperate for a conclusion, but the fact is that my perceptions are mine, and they are just as valid as yours. Your announcement of your superior "truth" is amusing, but, hey, you do what you have to do to make it all right for you.

President Obama is doing, I honestly believe, what will make it all right for us, but I also honestly believe that he's inherited a mess that is beyond fixing. When the realization sinks in that we're economically terminal, that to keep printing money without anything to back it up, we're all going to be seeing an America we never could have foreseen.

In the meantime, as I said, going on the personal is an utter waste of time for me, and, really, you're better than that, I am certain.

We all want it to be fixed, and if President Obama can't do it, I don't know who can....................
