THE OBAMA LOVE-FEST

Obama's 100 day mark is approaching rapidly. But don't you worry .. the lamestream media has already had their '100 day round-up' stories ready for months. In fact, they probably started writing them when Obama was inaugurated. To the statest media in this country, Obama really can't do wrong. No matter what he did or didn't accomplish in this first 100 days, he was going to be compared to the likes of Abraham Lincoln and FDR. He was going to be praised for bringing 'change' to Washington.

Did you happen to see the AP article written by Ron Fournier and Trevor Tompson? Apparently Americans are "high" on Barack Obama and the direction he is taking this country. What? Is PrezBO a controlled substance? Would that it be so!

Are you freaking kidding me? We are talking about a man who has spent trillions of dollars within the first months of his presidency, made America look weak on the world stage, grins at dictators, can't say good morning to his wife without a teleprompter and is over-seeing the largest expansion of the imperial federal government in the history of this nation. You want me to believe that most people out there are OK with this? The parasite/looter class, maybe. Unfortunately, they're making up a bigger and bigger percentage of the total as we go.

I know exactly why Americans are so high on Obama and on the direction of the United States. Government schools. No, seriously, folks. Government schools teach our children to love government. What else would you expect government schools to do? Preach the benefits of the private sector? The people that run these schools are government-trained government employees. What else are they going to do other than teach that government can be the solution to all your problems. That you can rely on the government when you fall on hard times or if you are one of those 'less fortunate' people in this country. Our students are being bred to become Democrat voters .. and Democrats typically adore government. So they don't recognize the hideous job Obama and Pelosi have done thus far.

The pro-Democrat media doesn't help, either. Take a look at some of the language of this AP article. The idolization is comical.

For the first time in years, more Americans than not say the country is headed in the right direction, a sign that Barack Obama has used the first 100 days of his presidency to lift the public's mood and inspire hopes for a brighter future.

Intensely worried about their personal finances and medical expenses, Americans nonetheless appear realistic about the time Obama might need to turn things around, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. It shows most Americans consider their new president to be a strong, ethical and empathetic leader who is working to change Washington.

Nobody knows how long the honeymoon will last, but Obama has clearly transformed the yes-we-can spirit of his candidacy into a tool of governance ...

So far, Obama has defied the odds by producing a sustained trend toward optimism. It began with his election.

Did you catch all of the words in there? Change ... inspire ... optimism ... yes-we-can spirit ... strong.

I shouldn't be too surprised, though, based on the level of intelligence of the average Obama voter.

What others are saying

  • Miss Austrailia
    She is not healthy. I should know. I was there for years. At 34 years old I was 46 pounds. I am now at 127 as I should. I am 5'5 1/2 inches. You can look at her and tell that she is not well. A lot of them looked Anorexic or Bulimic. I was diagnosed as both. It is a mental disease and requires a lot of therapy. I wish her well and hope I don't read of her dying. That is exactly what will happen if she doesn't wake up and soon.
  • Mhm.
    I read that yesterday. When I say read, I mean I got as far as I could before stopping in laughter and disgust.

    The government schools are the main culprit here. I know. I am in one. They daily are drenched in hidden bias and slant. They turn History and Government classes into boring snoozevilles. And then they expect students to enjoy it? While in science you do fun experiments? Of course not. Then students towards sciences and ignore important history. And it's a surprise we are so ignorant?

    It is a shame. But the media has just as much blame. Their 7 year attack on the Republican party and their Hollywood hysteria towards anything President Bush. And we are surprised that this guy was elected, and then gets away with what he does to an apathetic audience? Not at all. And the Republicans are not helping themselves much, either.

    We need a lot more tea parties.
  • Government Schools
    Want to improve the quality of government schools? Kill two sacred cows. First one is a liberal sacred cow - get the courts out of school discipline. Second is a conservative sacred cow - get rid of local school boards. When you have idiot parents dictating what gets taught in school and using the courts to intervene every time their l'il precious gets put in detention, well, you have the perfect storm of mediocrity. Teachers must call the shots. The job of parents, principals, superintendents, school boards and courts is to back them up. If one level refuses, the job of the next higher level is to smack them down - hard. Until that happens, nothing will improve. And if you think public schools are bad, just wait until voucher programs come along. We'll have schools with watered down programs kicking money back to parents and schools that hit the lowest common denominator just to bring in students.
  • Obama toast.
    Obama and the lib democrats are toast. They will be out in the mid-term elections. Obama can go sit on the porch until 2012 and then go be king of the acorns for the rest of his life.
  • History
    Just noticed this late so not sure if my post will go through but I LOVED The Jungle! Read it and the one about the railroads (blank mind) several times each. Very appropriate.
  • This poll only shows the division in our country...
    I noticed that the AP poll had a sampling error rate of 3.1%. This takes the 48% that think that America is going “in the right direction” and the 44% that think that America is going “in the wrong direction” and puts them in a statistical dead heat.

    Instead of showing how we are all rallying around the President, the only thing that this poll shows is how divided we are as a country.

    MSNBC had an unscientific poll (go figure) that showed the same thing. 52% of respondents give him either a “D” or an “F” with a sample size of almost three million people. Still statistically tied… more polarization of the country.

    (Give President Obama a grade
    Live Vote

    If you were grading Barack Obama on his performance as president, what would he get? * 2946123 responses

    He gets an A 36%
    He gets a B 6.9%
    He gets a C 4.9%
    He gets a D 13%
    He gets an F 39%

    *Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total 100% due to rounding.)

    However, it’s being reported that we all love the government as it is now.

    Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.
  • This is not going anywhere
    It's turned into a B*tch fest. No one is going to change anyone's mind.

    If you like Obama that's fine. Just don't say "he's the greatest president ever" like some have done. That's just stupid.
  • 100 Days
    "High" on Barack Obama. "controlled substance". I am glad the article did not say "Big on Barack Obama."
  • The Jungle
    A ton of people in this thread need to read it.
  • luvfest
    the only time osamabama need to be popular is 11/2010 and i don't like him now!!!

    DRIP don't return incumbent politicians
  • Re: Right Wing Fiction
    Ok, let's examine this.

    Those with advanced degrees are likely to be teaching, which, in turn, means they are in a union or are tenured living off of government grants. Clearly Obama supporters.

    Next, from experience, the more elderly rich tend to lean left due to guilt over their wealth. I assure you, however, when you suggest that they give up their social security because they have enough already or that they pay more in capital gains, they vehemently reject these proposals. Voting democrat makes them feel like they did the right thing so there is your fairness.

    Get out in the world and see how things really are before making such statements.
  • Leo's "Analysis" of AP poll internals
    Leo,

    Did it occur to you that the party affiliation profile of the poll participants reflects the way the nation is aligning itself these days with respect to party affiliation?

    The 26% independent (whcih includes me) and the 18% non-stated are composed primarily of ex-repoublicans who got sick and tired of the republican party's choice to continue aligning itself with the American Taliban (i.e., the hard-core evangelical right aiming to impose a theocracy on America).
  • Re: Overly sensitive Statists – like 'Ignorant'
    Seems like using the best terminology to describe many of those on the left really gets them upset.

    Makes you wonder why?
  • putting on media shoes
    for a moment or two makes you realize that what we see and have seen happening in the media is exactly as it should be - from a business point of view. As a conveyor of "the news", why would you do anything other than promote the means to the end of what "news" really is.
    When you get right down to it, news is bad things happening to good people. Do you report that 400 planes landed safely today at La Guardia or do you report that one crashed today at some other airport. News is coverage of unrest, tragedy, angst, pain, suffering, violence, and every other negative thing in the world, and we buy it. At its core it's a business that uses refutable but never to be refuted inaccuracies to enhance its power.
    Were I a newsperson, I would realize that in BO and his demonstrated inability to lead the country in the right direction exist the greatest potential to sell what will flourish in this situation. I would fan the flames by printing flawed or bogus polls to better sway the mindset of the sheeple, because I have that power. If it's my paper, my network, I can say anything I want, can't I? Even if I don't believe it myself, I have to sow the seeds of the news if I am to feed my family. I might even be hoping for a nice juicy civil war to someday erupt out of all of this - what a scoop that would be!

    Oh yeah, as a newsperson I would be all over promoting BO to the rank of a god. That's good stuff that can only mean trouble up the road, and a job for the media.
  • Love-Fest
    Thats OK the 'Right' Media called him a failure before he even got in office.
  • Obama love fest
    Obviously the people polled for that were only liberals.I think most of the country feels completely opposite about how well he is doing. Whoever wrote that article needs some serious wake up medicine.
  • Smart
    Don't make me type the rest of your ID, it makes me gag.

    Taking stock in exit polling ignores the "oo me oo me" factor. When I see one of these pollster I run.
  • Peggy Noonan's Observation in the WSJ
    In a previous column in the last three weeks, Ms. Noonan thought that Mr. Obama's popularity may be a mile wide but a foot deep.
  • Definintion of Tyranny?
    To quote Ignorence: "But then, accuracy in definition was never a strongpoint of the conservative wingnuts. This is why they use the term "Tyrany" to refer to the results of a democratically-elected president functioning in the same role the president always has, with a body of similarly-elected congresspeople who represent both major sides."

    Therefore, you are saying that Hitler was not guilty of tyranny, since he was "democratically elected", and his actions were approved by the Reichstag, right?
    Also,learn to spell yourself before you criticize others! The words are spelled "Tyranny" and "Fuehrer".
  • Mesmerized Obamuppets
    The popularity polls obviously reflect the output of our school system. In large part the idolizing,indigent and indoctrinated put him in office. President Obamuppet and company are the most dangerous administration we've ever had in place. I fear for my kids and grand children. I wonder what Mason\Dixon "2000" will look like. We're well on the way.
  • To the prior poster
    You redefined Conservative.

    A true conservative wants
    The less("conservative") use of government.Socially,economically or regulatory makes no difference. At the Fed level if it isn't in expressly in the Constitution then a true Conservative is weary of it and is generally against it.
    there are conservatives that a re socially liberal(liberal use of government to enforce their ideas) though.
  • Obama and Lincoln
    Hey Ignorance - before you start making fun of others' spelling - you might want to be sure you don't live in a glass house. Fuhrehr? Just what is that - or did you mean Führer? By the way the real Führer was a Fascist which is exactly what Obama will be if he nationalizes the banks and car companies - privately owned companies that are run by the government, that's Fascism.
  • Everyone note that Mr. Ignorant @ 04/24/09 10:31:57 AM
    In typical STATIST fashion, uses LIES, DOUBLE STANDARDS and DECEPTION.

    STATIST is an umbrella term designed to avoid all the idiotic distinction without a difference arguments.

    One could ask what “Ignorant” considers itself to be – Socialist, Communist,Marxist,Leninist,Maoist,Fascist, whatever.

    BUT this type of bomb throwing troll won't answer direct questions like that.
    “ignorant” can only throw unsubstantiated terminology and insults around, but that's typical of the Angry Leftists and Statists.
  • Obama's 100 day report card
    Wasn't Clinton's 100 day report card just as rosey? Then came Hillarycare. Stay involved and hopefully universal health care can shut down this hostile takeover.
  • Nuance...
    Nice phrasing..."more Americans than not". The actual result was that 48% said the country was on the right track. Putting aside questions of sampling and methodology, I think another (more) accurate headline would be "Majority does not think country is on right track" ... or "Majority has doubts about country's direction".
  • Of course they will praise him...
    The mainstream media will praise Obama and literally flat out lie about his accomplishments. Obama is the face of the New World Order. The elites will not be able to complete their objectives if the media tears apart their front man. Right now is when it is crucial to the NWO to force legislation through quickly and lay the final ground work for the planned collapse of the United States. The steps that are being taken have only one conclusion and that is to give the IMF and the World Bank control over the entire international community. The military industrial complex is the tool that enables the NWO. I am not saying that we should disarm. I am saying we need to completely cut out the influence that these powerful entities have within our government. The unholy alliances that have been made between our government officials and the financiers will be the destruction of this country. We have to wake up and use what is left of our once great system of government to stick it to these corrupt politicians and take back our country. Our children's children depend on the decisions we make. We are already on borrowed time we must do something soon or else our grandchildren will be reading about the collapse of the United States in history books written by the same people that destroyed our country.
  • speaking as a government-educated person...
    If there's one thing that'll make you hate the way the government runs things, it would be locking them in a government institution (of any sort) for fifteen years. Why would any government-educated anybody /like/ the government?
  • A new record
    Everyone will make a few mistakes in his life but PresBO has set new records for mistakes, stupid choices, lying to the public, over spending, fascist planning, deception, dividing our country and jeapordizing our future. We have never seen anyone so determined to destroy our prosperity and way of life. This is indeed change, but certainly not the kind of change that will help our country.
  • AP Poll Internals
    Make sure you look at the internals of this AP Poll. The sampling is heavily skewed to the left, on purpose.

    73% of the Democrats polled thought we were on the right track
    17% of Independents
    10% of Republicans

    It's rather suspicious as to how those numbers could result in a 48% overall 'we're on the right track' vote.

    Well, if you dive a little deeper in, it turns out:

    36% of those polled were Democrats
    18% Republican
    26% Independent
    18% None claimed

    So, this is how the AP inflates the Obama Love Fest to new heights. They are truly an extension of the Obama administration at this point. There is no credibility in journalism any longer...
  • Lincoln and Obama
    Can you picture Obama trying to debate Douglas the way Lincoln did. Oh, wait a minute - they didn't have teleprompters back then. Those debates went on for hours - Obama wouldn't have lasted ten minutes.
  • who are they talking too?
    I am not sure who they are talking to. When talking to people I know, I certainly do not see even 25% who agree with the direction. Now there are die hards that still support Obama reluctantly. But even they are weary of the massive massive spending even in liberal terms.
  • Before you start throwing around "Statist" ephithets...
    ...You might want to make sure you can spell it, and that you know what it means. Just because Levin tried to redefine "Statist" to mean "Anything not ultra-conservative" doesn't mean the meaning changed. He was wrong, and all the moronic sheep that parrot him are also wrong.

    Even this very morning, Neal, you were complaining that the Democrats wanted to let you do whatever you want socially, and take away your economic freedom. This is Liberal, not Statist. Just as much as Conservatives want to take away your social and personal freedoms, and give you total economic freedom. That is Conservative, not Statist.

    A Statist wants to control all of your economic AND social freedoms. This idea is not represented in any current major American political party.


    But then, accuracy in definition was never a strongpoint of the conservative wingnuts. This is why they use the term "Tyrany" to refer to the results of a democratically-elected president functioning in the same role the president always has, with a body of similarly-elected congresspeople who represent both major sides. They just use whatever nasty political term they can pull out of their rectums whenever they lose a democratic election process, because they hate having to actually abide by this nation's constitution. They'd much rather do away with the whole process and elect a conservative Fuhrehr For Life.
  • Hey Smartvoter for Obama
    He may have captured the most educated but he also captured the least educated and by a much higher margin. So we have college professors and government supported idiots that voted for Obama. What do they have in common- both are insulated from expectations or workplace competition. Wow, he must be so proud.
  • OBAMA LOVE-FEST
    Good for a lot of laughs.
  • Sorry, spelled doesn't incorrectly as in:
    The Statist trolls around here can make up whatever 'Facts' they want, but that doesn't change reality

    You can make statistics say whatever you want – just manipulate the numbers and the sampling and Viola! You've proved your point!!

    The fact is that these “Obama voters” support some form of Statism, an umbrella term for every type of collectivism FAILURE that has come down the pike.

    These people THINK they can get something for nothing, just by voting for the Demonrats.

    Statism has failed every time it's been tried, and it's failing now, you can make up any numbers and facts you want, but the bottom line is that these people support a STUPID SYSTEM that only leads to ruin.

    As they say, Stupid is and Stupid does



    Sorry for the mistake. should have run the spell checker again
  • Obama Blows
    The election of Obama proves once and for all that the stupid outweigh the reasonable by an all too wide margin.
    The USA is finished. Enjoy the rest of your freedom while it lasts. It's days are numbered.
  • Gov't Schools
    Neil: "I know exactly why Americans are so high on Obama and on the direction of the United States. Government schools. No, seriously, folks. Government schools teach our children to love government."

    No Neil, government schools teach our children that it is their right to have everything provided by the government not to love government (except when marxists are in control).

    PS. I am one of those folks mentioned in the DHS report. Christian; conservative; retired, disabled, special ops, veteran; etc. etc.
  • it cuts both ways..
    While Neal is probably correct that the MSM has had their stories written for a long time he fails to say so has the "other" side. Anyone who thinks Boortz, Fox, or most conservatives didn't have daggers out and ready is kidding themselves. It's the state of modern politics. Slash and burn or protect and shield. It just depends on what side you choose. The Boortz, Hannity's, and Schultz of the world like it that way because it equates to book sales. Divide the peoplem, make them hate the other side, and then sell books to your side. Gotta love it.
  • Who'd they poll, people at the local welfare office?
    Or was it GM UAW workers looking forward to getting paid for not working? Ya gotta be high on something to believe socialism is the right direction.

    Seeing what passes for straight news at the ap(associated propaganda), I'm not surprised at or impressed with their poll(Or any poll, for that matter). They came out of the advocacy closet with their "accountability journalism," but they really quit being reporters a long time ago.

    You wouldn't suspect the msm was against torture by what they do to numbers and news. Take out all the unattributed opinions and discriptive words(the 'reporter's' opinion, and there's not much story left. They used to at least find someone else to attribute their opinions to.
  • Abraham Lincoln??? Are you kidding me???
    Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built

    The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity

    We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny

    These are exact quotes from Abraham Lincoln. Obama is no Lincoln. By any means...

    Wait - maybe he is. Another quot

    I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain
    Wait
  • Black Lincoln?
    The only black Lincoln I ever saw was made by Ford. Chairman Zero is no Abraham Lincoln. Il Duce would be a better comparison.

  • i can't take it
    has anyone noticed how ridiculous this week has been on the cable news networks? even fox has been running stories not about his first 100 days but about the media's coverage of his first 100 days in office. i'm about ready to give them up entirely, i can read news for myself. all they do is make up news for themselves now. and if i have to sit through one more debate about how spongebob squarepants burger king commercials are bad for children i'm going to lose it.

  • Re: Only 100 days?
    You mean it's only been 100 days? Seems like it has been much, much, longer. Lord, how many more days of this can we take?


    Yeah and only 1367 Days, 03 Hours,....
    to go

    That's if the country survives
  • Yeah, Neal!!!! Great comments.....
    I would however like to point out that the term should be 'Statist' Media,
    or more accurately, Lying Statist Media
    Sorry to be a nitpicker on spelling
  • 100 days
    you've had you're '100 day round-up' stories stories ready for months, too. theirs was positive and yours was negative.
  • Speaking of "high"
    I'd like to know the email of these AP pollsters so I can ask what kind of crack they're smoking.
  • by the way
    for those who are interested, if BO was a regular guy on the street applying for a govt job that requires a clearance, do you realize he would not be able to get more than a Confidential level clearance - maybe not even that? This is based on self admitted substance abuse and associations with certain individuals in his past.
    How do I know? Let's just say I know firsthand what you can and cannot have done in your past to obtain different clearance levels and leave it at that.
  • Bogus
    The polls must be taking its numbers from those that are home and answer their land line..... That is to say those out of work, not looking for work and actually still have a wired telephone. Get the picture?
  • Schoolin'
    I'm confused, both my wife and I have been in gov't schools our whole lives and yet are staunch conservatives (I consider myself a libertarian).

    While you mentally wrestle with that one, these past couple days have scared the pants off of us as far as what do young couples like us (early-mid 20's) have to look forward to in the future? What incentives are left for us to continue our education and better ourselves in our careers if at some point the gov't decides, "ok, you're making too much now, time to pay your 'fair share.'"

    Ridiculous.
  • Was this a sampling of 1000 hackeysack players on the campus of Berkeley?
  • buyer's remorse is what gets me
    ticked off more than the people who still grovel and kiss the king's ring. They didn't get it then, don't get it now, and never will get it, so why waste the breath.
    But listening to what a caller had to say on Levin last night is what really frosts my a$$. "Oh, they're so disappointed, they're so disgusted, they voted for Obama because he sounded so promising. And now he's doing so much damage to the country! What was I thinking?"
    Well, you know what? There are enough of these people out there that, IF they had been listening before November, IF they had done their homework, IF they had voted with their brains and not their bleeding and naive hearts, we wouldn't be in quite the jam we are now, would we?
    I'm not saying McCain would've have turned things around, but I'm pretty sure al-quaida wouldn't be sitting there scratching their heads, wondering WTF this country is thinking by releasing classified doctrines for their enemies to see - probably thinking this has to be some kind of brilliant mouse trap tactic on our part - surely McCain would not have taken us in this direction.
    So you'll have to excuse me if I don't put my arms around all those 20/20 hindsight wonders and welcome them to the team, pat them on the back and say "there there, it's going to be all right".
    The magnitude of the mistake these people made out of sheer stupidity and willful ignorance of the facts as presented is beyond forgiveness, - for me anyway.
  • They went thatta way!
    Watching the media fawn over Obama is like watching my son and his girlfriend. It's actually not the President's fault,( I don't think )he is the byproduct of a clever marketing campaign and a PR machine. The media collectively didn't know jack about the guy before they heard his stirring speech at the 2004 convention, did they? But the DNC identified him as a 'Rockstar'( still trying to figure out how that makes him a leader...)and annointed him the savior of all those wonderful things the left stands for! People are high on him or just high? He's all about change allright, with all those Clinton castoffs and a mix of underqualified, underachievers( Geithner, Napolitano, Biden...). Yeah baby, we're high on something! I'll just keep working my butt off and get used to the idea that my efforts will pay off bigtime for someone other than my own kids. What flavor Koolaid are they serving at the Whitehouse Press Corps today?
  • Be Happy Neal
    Come on Neal, Why are you so mad? You are sounding like a crazy conservative who watches fox news all day while being angry at the world and waiting to protest an abortion clinic. Sit back Neal, relax with all the great things in your life, and just let the President do his job
  • Obama
    I hear that when Obama visits Normandy (I guess to pose for pics) in June, he's having the boat drop him off in the water and He's going to walk the last hundred yards or so to the beach. What a guy.
  • Right wing fiction
    The last sentence: "based on the level of intelligence of the average Obama voter". The right continues to perpetuate this myth.

    There are a lot of data that suggest that propensity to vote for democrats has been directly proportional to intelligence and economic standing in recent years.

    Nealz News on April 8, in a review of David Frum's book, "Comeback", acknowledges that those with advanced degrees are more likely to vote democrat.

    Edison Media Research/ Mitofsky International, which did the exit polling used by all major news sources (including Fox News), showed majorities of those with incomes of $200K voted for Obama (by 52%-46%; note this is a reversal of Bush-Kerry in 2004, in which this income group favored Bush 63%-35%; i.e., the high income group has been deserting the republican party). This reputable polling agency interviewed 17,836 voters at 300 polling places on election day, supplemented by 2,378 telephone interviews with early and absentee voters. Attack the source if you want, but would Fox News rely on this source to do its state-by-state projections (i.e., calling states red vs. blue on election night) if it were some illegitimate partisan polling agency? (For proof that this was the agency Fox used for its exit poll data, see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,447844,00.html [see methodology section at the end])
  • Sad but true
    I was having a conversation with a friend about this yesterday. I asked, "Since when is expediting the demise of our Union been considered a measure of success?" His reply, "Since FDR."
  • Only 100 days?
    You mean it's only been 100 days? Seems like it has been much, much, longer. Lord, how many more days of this can we take?
  • Statest?
    FWIW, I usually don't care about grammar errors on the nuze, but it should be "statist."
  • Amazing!!
    Managed to ready the medias "unbiased" comments AND keep my breakfast down.
  • I like to freebase Obama.
  • BO
    Its unreal how partisan these "news" organizations are. The difference in the way they treated GWB and BO is striking.
    They are clearly just an extension of the
    DNC.
  • Propaganda from the puppet press..
    I saw this article on the buzz list on yahoo. Everyone was calling BS on it, 10 -1 over those trying to defend it. The press would have actually lost credibility if it had any outside of the college faculty lounge and welfare office.
