I was wondering what you could possibly say to try to pee on Obama's big day. You sound kind of like somebody who lost the election for class President and is now denying he ever wanted it in the first place. "Class President's just a popularity contest, and I don't care about being popular!" (thanks for that recent glimpse into your high school daze, Tom)

Or maybe you really do think that an American President who isn't hated by a goodly fraction of the world isn't doing a good job. That's the impression I got from your attempt the other day to try to amplify McCain's "Hamas endorses Obama!" smear. I can't for the life of me figure out why any rational person would think it's bad that a Palestinian has a high opinion of the leading contender to be the next President. After more than seven long years of George W. Bush, I find the prospect of a President who isn't hateful, on many levels, to be a distinctly encouraging one.

And yet it has been said that Conservatives define themselves by their enemies and by what they hate. Care to comment on the canard in light of your recent testimony?
