JM,

No, they are not “statements of fact.” You really need to look up the definition of the word fact. What YOU just relayed are your FEELINGS of McCain’s and Obama’s smile. There was no “fact” in it. Just emotion and assumption.

I could just as easily say that Obama’s smile is that of a snake about to bite, or the smile of the cat that ate the canary! He is a snake oil salesman and his easy smile hides his lies.

But, could I say that is all “fact” as you did above? Hardly. It is what I “feel” about him. It is not “fact.”

Do get some education on definitions of common words, won’t you?

Barack Obama is gifted in birth by a wonderful smile…

John McCain, when he smiles, has a somewhat menacing quality. It may not be purposeful, but when he smiles, you wonder what he’s really thinking.

Barack Obama, for whatever reason, comes off as debonaire, even under attack.

I am beginning to wonder about Matthews. I really dont care for him as he is loud, but what is his real gender? Something seems strange – or did he have the Dem chip installed during his sleep that goes off when Obama stutters. I know debonair, and Obama is not debonair – and the President does not need to be deboniar or full of hot air. He needs to be pragmatic with values and not a tool beholden to leftist billionaires.

Ya know, if law enforcement ever needs Obama’s DNA, they just need to scrape the crust off Matthews’ chin.
