All of us are guilty of mood swings from time to time, and punditry has its good days and bad days. I attribute today’s change of attitude to sensitivity training and a willingness to see things from the perspective of a mattress. Imagine having slumbering creatures flop on you, insomniacs twist and turn on you, snore on you, and copulate on you. Oh, the indignities! So, on Thanksgiving Day, I decided to cut them some slack and change the sheets.<br />(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-27282912287679538092014-11-26T10:59:51.462-05:002014-11-26T10:59:51.462-05:00Octo...yupperz, dis is serious......see, the way I...Octo...yupperz, dis is serious......see, the way I feel it, most of Zem has noz idea who they are.....and no interest what so ever in who WE all are.

"...not ready for political prime-time, that's for sure.......Not that that's necessarily an awful thing, mind you."<br /><br />Except that a chorus of people who opposed Mr. Obama's candidacy said that not being ready (i.e. having executive or political experience) was a huge liability for him. I've read many bloggers who are enamoured of Carson and who blithely ignore the fact that he has NO executive/political experience (at least Obama had served in his state legislature and was elected to the U.S. Senate), but in his case, that's a good thing. Can someone explain how that was a liability for Obama, but an asset for Carson?
