I am impressed.... really very impressed..... I watched Obama last nite ( Friday 2011m07d22 ) talk about the US debt negotiations. Obama is smoother than Clinton.... he is the smoothest talker I have ever seen. This does not mean I buy his arguments. Still.... it is rather disconcerting to start to slip under the spell of Obama's rhetoric .... then suddenly jerk awake as I detect one of his falsehoods or one of his sophomoric paradigms regarding economics, ethics or freedom.
