Sometimes our memories get confused – or confusing!
In this situation Mr. Obama’s memory is apparently working overtime and falling off the rails – thus mistaking what ‘he might have *wished* was so for what really *is* so.
The polling done with real election results is ‘confused’ with the ‘what *might have been* in his mental configuration. It’s a rather common mistake – at least according to that famous story teller Mr. O’Henry who managed to sell many a short story with that kind of ‘surprise ending. I think he’s the one who got me really interested in seeing what could be done with the *written* word when it is spoken in hurried ways or under the pressure of dire circumstances.
So… perhaps we should cut Mr. Obama a ‘little slack’ once he’s safely out of office and we are not engaged in running up another 5 trillion dollar debt in a three year span – at least we can pray to that end.
I’m hoping and praying the ingenuity of businessmen, bankers, retailers and honest wizards of Wall Street (If there are enough of them left.) to give us a boost out of the fiscal and economic hole [more like a Grand Canyon] which the trusting American public has dug for ourselves being mesmerized by the smooth talking Senator and community organizer who managed to talk his way into the White House in the election of 2009. Thus he joins the ranks of Jimmy Carter, exceeding his conquest by 300% or more and fooling the American electorate into falling for the efficacious double-talk and rainbow-land expectations that you can make something out of nothing.
It’s something learned at the slight of hand shell games and magicians’ ability to pluck quarters out of the ears of astonished six year olds. Or the fever that makes one think he can always throw the hoops over the right figurines to win the giant Teddy Bear on the Midway. Best cure for that is a good cold glass of lemonade – but you pay dearly for it. (So my Father used to tell me!)
Glad to have you with us…
Cordially, IN HIM

MARC THIESSEN SAYS WOMAN PROBLEM IS OBAMA’S
Just a Minute: Marc A. Thiessen – Washington POST/AEI fellow -- ‘opinion writer’ – says the ‘woman problem’ is on Obama’s plate not Romney’s.
Last week the POST writer said (QUOTE):”With polls showing Mitt Romney losing ground with women voters, many in
(quoting again)“When he took office in 2009, Obama’s job approval rating with women had reached 70 percent; today it has slipped to 49 percent — a precipitous decline of 21 points. This is why the President has been working overtime to court the women’s vote — weighing in on whether women should be admitted to the Augusta National Golf Club; publicly taking the side of a female Georgetown University law student in her spat with Rush Limbaugh; and forcing religious employers to provide [medical coverage] for contraception and abortion-inducing drugs.”
I must admit… I’m surprised to see such an opinion appear on the pages of the POST. <I’m Jack Buttram.> (END)
