Feelings....whoa whoa whoa Feelings...

Something I noticed last night when pundits were interviewing "Undecided Voters" was how many people when asked how Obama did in the debate gave an emotional answer. He made me "feel"_____. Excuse me ya'll....how does "feelings" play into anything.

This is like voting for someone because they are the best looking person (which would be Sarah Palin). I have heard people say they were going to vote for Obama because "he had a nice smile." I understand voting for Obama if you are black, you are making a statement, our skin color sort of matches, and even though my family has been in America for 300 years and worked hard for their American dream it doesn't matter Obama's father is a Muslim Kenyan, and Obama grew up mostly abroad in Muslim schools, I will vote for him because we look alike. There is a scream of insanity here you can't quite put your finger on. It is pulsing.....can't you feel it?

This election is not about how you feel, this is the Presidency not who is going to be King of the Prom. Heck life is not even about how you feel. I do not feel like getting up every morning and going to work, but I do because if I don't there is less money for the household. That is a fact. Not a feeling. Feelings are not allowed to operate in the day to day of the normal American. Of course you can feel like having dessert, however if you want to shed a few extra pounds you should pass on your feelings and skip dessert.

Life is about facts, not feelings. You don't work, you don't eat. You cheat on your taxes you get audited, you steal from your boss you get fired. Facts. Elections are fact. Did you check your facts? They say knowledge is power, however I know of many in academia they absorb the written word and concepts thereof with brillance, however many of them have never once applied their knowledge to everyday practical wisdoms. They don't even know when to come out of the rain. Step outside folks, take a look around..... it is raining!

Fact check, knowledge of an application is not the same as applying said knowledge into action. I know how a nuclear power plant operates (thanks to my type A husband who gave me an A+ lecture while I was reading a book on Chernobyl) however do I think for one minute I can waltz into a nuclear power plant and operate it? Nope, not for a damn minute.

No one can doubt that Mr. Obama has an excellent grasp on political knowledge, not to mention an attractive style and does not stutter as much when he has his teleprompter to refer to, however he has not, not one single time while he has been a member of the Senate shown any action to serve the people of this country. Serve, not siphon.

Obama wants American's to look into his "nice eyes" as one lady put it, put on their rose colored glasses so the glare from his pearly whites doesn't blind us, toss in some ear plugs and vote for him cause he makes us "feel good". Close your eyes, Obama is dancing with you right now......

Remember is feels so good to dance, eventually though you have to pay the fiddler and trust me Obama is going to make you pay, then you all you will be able to sing is "Hurts So Good."
