		<description>Obama staff is just a bunch of Campaign Hacks:


NewsMax.com:

White House Staffers Called &#039;Campaign Hacks&#039;
The Barack Obama presidency is foundering because his White House is staffed with &quot;campaign hacks&quot; who are ill-equipped to govern effectively, Forbes magazine columnist Dan Gerstein declares. 

Gerstein said he was moved to write about the staffers after Obama&#039;s Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina was quoted as saying about his White House peers: &quot;We are all campaign hacks.&quot; 

The comment revealed &quot;the Obama White House&#039;s biggest weakness: The president&#039;s top advisers are not just overly political, they are almost totally political,&quot; writes Gerstein, Sen. Joe Lieberman&#039;s former communications director and senior adviser on his presidential and vice presidential campaigns. 

&quot;This West Wing is stacked with &#039;hacks&#039; — campaign professionals who are acculturated to think, act and win in the hothouse environments of elections, not to govern a bitterly divided country in extremely difficult times. . . 

&quot;Increasing evidence over the last several months — most notably the dramatic drop the president has suffered among independents — has indicated that this mindset is limiting, diminishing and potentially finishing to the Obama presidency.&quot; 

Gerstein cited, among others, senior adviser David Axelrod, a political consultant who never has worked in government; Communications Director Anita Dunn, who has been working on campaigns for three decades; and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, whose work has been as a &quot;flack&quot; for congressional and presidential campaigns. 

Even Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who served in the Clinton White House and six years in Congress, is a &quot;hard-charging politico&quot; who was the chief strategist behind the Democrats&#039; takeover of the House in 2006. 

What the White House needs, Gerstein suggests, is &quot;someone not ingrained or trained to think that the Republicans are the enemy.&quot;</description>

		<description>My daughter (15) does that emo shit... She just asked if she could get her lip pierced. I, being an habitual dumbass said &quot;I don&#039;t care, ask your mom&quot;. 

So.... mom comes un-fucking-glued that I told our 15 year old &quot;she could get a hole punched in her face&quot;! I have to note here, that I did tell her to ask her Mom... 

I didn&#039;t see the big deal, but I &quot;ALWAYS&quot; defer to the wife on matters of such import. 

Anywho... No holes in the face, and finally, after a year of pounding it into her thick skull, she no longer wears her bangs in her face... in front of us.</description>

		<description>Here is Emo according to the Urban Dictionary.  Just replace &quot;Emo Guy&quot; with &quot;Obama&quot; and &quot;Emo Girl&quot; with voters.

&lt;blockquote&gt;An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like &quot;sensitive guys&quot; (lie)

2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how &quot;nobody understands&quot;.

3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)

4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he&#039;s too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn&#039;t even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying &quot;It&#039;s not you, it&#039;s me.&quot; (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.

5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she&#039;ll definately go out with me!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>My Mom hated it when my bangs got too long and started covering my eyes.  She&#039;d threaten to put one of those hokey plastic barrettes in my hair.  Now, I can&#039;t stand the hair in the eyes look either.</description>

There is something in these emo types that just brings out my long dormant inner bully and makes me want to bitch slap them.</description>

		<description>Emo is a music subculture that means a lot of things.  It comes from the word &quot;emotional&quot; and when the kids use it, it is associated with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, angst-ridden and just very emotionally demonstrative.  The opposite of John Wayne type stoicism or Truman&#039;s &quot;the buck stops here&quot;   attitude.  It is the opposite of being tough and saying that you will take care of yourself and anyone else who comes along.  It is the opposite of saying, &quot;leave it to me there, hoss, I&#039;ll take care of it.&quot;

Basically it means that Obama is whining that the world is hard, isn&#039;t fair and that he is suffering because of things that, dammit, just aren&#039;t his fault.</description>

		<description>What I don&#039;t get with the blaming and excuse making is, he quadrupled the &quot;record deficit&quot; , continued &quot;the two wars&quot;, and though he has blown every tin-pot dictator on the planet... he has &quot;frayed relations with many of our allies&quot;, in his attempts to appease and apologize for America. 

So... it turns out that the old adage is true... when you point your finger at someone else, you&#039;ve got three more pointing right back at you!</description>
