		<description>DLS- What would you recommend that Obama do to get his agenda through? Should he continue the poisonous partisanship that has paralyzed Washington for the last 20 years?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Was he naive because he addressed us as Americans and not blue or red staters? Was he out of touch when he asked Republicans to work in his administration, or had Congressional Republicans over to the WH? Maybe he needs to hire Karl Rove or the Democrat&#039;s equivalent because he isn&#039;t playing dirty enough. What he has restored is decency and humility in place of imperialism and arrogance.</description>

		<description>Ahhh.. you undervalue president Obama&#039;s contributions.  His greatest ones are behind closed doors.  His assumption of the Whitehouse and all that Obama represents is akin to the good cops moving into Chicago in the 1930s and busting up the mob.  Cheney&#039;$ gang didn&#039;t/doesn&#039;t want to let go.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama deserved that Nobel Prize, like I said, more than you will ever be allowed to know..</description>

		<description>&quot;He would have done what was necessary to pass his agenda&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agreed with the word &quot;frail&quot; earlier, and maybe I should say I might use &quot;feeble&quot; instead.  What would he have done, and tried how hard?  And, what agenda?  Less lefty than a lib Dem agenda, but what else?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Obama is almost too nice and humble sometimes to deal with the partisan rancor that still dominates inside the Beltway.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If he seems outdone, assuming he actually is, I would ascribe instead to being naive or out of touch.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t vote for him, but I do think McCain would have worried a lot less about treating everyone fairly. He would have done what was necessary to pass his agenda, and would have run into a lot of opposition from  the base of his own party- who really didn&#039;t want him in the first place. Obama is almost too nice and humble sometimes to deal with the partisan rancor that still dominates inside the Beltway.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Palin would have looked lovely in her designer suits traveling to state funerals.</description>

		<description>In McCain&#039;s defense, style (and substance) demerits and all, he was far better than Stabenow and Casey, two Dim-wit members of Congress who blathered like crazy rather than simply and directly answer the question they were asked, &quot;Do you support gay marriage?&quot;</description>

		<description>It is very difficult to judge what a politician will do by their words alone.  It is hard to know someone&#039;s true position when they are &quot;at work&quot; for the party or for a position they support.  According to McCain&#039;s voting record, I think he would have been much more of a bipartisan president than Obama has proven out to be.  All politicians lie, Obama lied, McCain lied...we&#039;d have to see McCain as president to really have any idea of what kind of President he would have been.  But that won&#039;t happen.</description>

		<description>As one who voted for Sen. McCain, in retrospect, I&#039;m not sorry he lost. President Obama is proving himself up for the challenge.</description>

		<description>OK, Sil, you&#039;ve actually scored this time when you said &quot;frail.&quot;  I did the rare thing yesterday, watched some CNN -- usually CNN is lightweight and worse, but yesterday was different.  (Not so much for the appearance of McCain on King&#039;s show, but with the appearance of Haass and Biddle on &quot;Global Public Square&quot; and later, a dual interview with Secs. Clinton and Gates with Christine Amanpour and a co-host.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain&#039;s speaking style indeed is frail, and it&#039;s painful or irritating to listen to him strain to say little.</description>

		<description>The demands of this particular administration could not have been met by the frail and bombastic McCain.  If you leave his ignorance of finances aside, his cancerous condition combined with stress the much younger Obama seems to be withering from would make the title of this article instead: The Passion of President Palin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*shudder*  And of course either option would&#039;ve actually been &quot;The Passion Of President Cheney&quot; from an operative sense..</description>
