Dear GfS:

It seems to me if you were being as keenly accurate as you say, it would produce less froth and more semantically substantive statements.
You and Bruce, in your claim to be observing facts, seem to always point at hypotheticals (as in Bruce's last copy-and-paste whose conclusion is "The administration won't meet that test if it allows negotiations to become a means of vindicating Mr. Ahmadinejad's radical agenda.") or windy opinions which you expect should be persuasive because you fill them with grandiose outrage or other emotion.

I don't see those things as "facts", and I don't quite understand why you see them as such, either. As for your statement "news items everyday coming out, as to the fraud, and 'hiding' of the TARP funds, and the shadiness of this administration, lies and deceit, broken promises" what I have seen is a lot of accusation and smoke, behind which there may or may not be some hard facts of wrong-doing; but one thiong I know plainly is that I do not have those hard facts, nor am I inclined to run around declaiming what are actually projections, or extrapolations colored by fear or hatred.

If you have some specific facts indicating Obama has done something wrong with TARP funds, by all means point them out to me. I am always ready to learn.
