"Don't tell me words don't matter," Obama said.

"Don't tell me words don't matter," Obama said to Wisconsin Democrats. "'I have a dream' -- just words. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' -- just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself' -- just words. Just speeches." Now, about those pesky little words.......

Did you know that Audacity has TWO dictionary definitions? -- Just words? But, it is telling of a man's true demeanor especially as it reflects on his character.

1. The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, a book by Senator Obama boasted of his daring or willingness to challenge assumptions or conventions or tackle something difficult or dangerous. A book written with all talk, no walk as they say.

2. The
Audacity of Impudence: Lack of Respect in One's behavior towards Other Persons. Witnessing the shoddy respect that the President of the United States has for anyone who opposes him by negatively labeling them as misfits and worse, Obama has earned this title for Audacity.

I propose a third definition:

3. The Audacity of Irrogance: Attitude of Superiority manifested in an overbearing manner. There is the other side of the coin, the other side of the street, the other guy's opinion and in Obama's Playbook for Life the other side doesn't count in the least.

Case in point: Obama listened to Republican responses about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders in January 2009 - but he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. Obama's answer back? "I won", Obama noted matter-of-factly. How Presidential was that? End of discussion, game over.

So, do you really think that Obama and the Democrats are going to look for any bi-partisanship support for their Healthcare Bill? They better look for new jobs come next election and, by the way, has term limits legislation reared its ugly head again? LOL!
