Pants On Fire......

Now that the initial dust has settled, the confetti has fallen to the ground, and the circus people are pushing brooms, cleaning up the park....Barak Obama is finally squaring off against some of the outrageous untruths spouted by the Republican VP candidate.

"I know the governor of Alaska has been saying she's change, and that's great," Obama said. "She's a skillful politician. But, you know, when you've been taking all these earmarks when it's convenient, and then suddenly you're the champion anti-earmark person, that's not change. Come on! I mean, words mean something, you can't just make stuff up."

It seems the lady likes to talk out of both sides of her lip-sticked mouth, and when the cheering stops, it's time to look at facts. This is absolutely correct. You cannot say "I told them thanks, but no thanks" with self-congratulatory glee in the voice, if the statement simply isn't true. You cannot say you refused earmarked money (but kept it anyway, to spend on discretionary projects)-- that's a lie, lady.

Many may love your style and strut, but they should be 'watchin' them shells in the game being shifted around the table, because it appears that's the only 'change' you're accustomed to-- and we've had enough lies out of Washinton to last into the TWENTY-SECOND century, thank you very much.

Senator Obama will call you out every time-- remaining a gentleman throughout, so your supporters need not scream "bully!" like panicked patrons screaming "Fire!" in a crowded auditorium.

Facts are quiet things, like truth.

They need no megaphone or cheer-leading, because they speak for themselves in a reasonable tone of voice.

Unlike yourself, Sarah, they are never shrill, and they need no cue cards from speech-writers. Only designated hitters need those things.
