BARACK FREUD SPEAKS – AT 10:40 A.M. ET:  It is very important that you read this post in order to improve yourself, so you can be as good, decent, thoughtful and philosophical as our dear leader.   This is what we all strive to be, right?  From USA Today:

President Obama says Democrats tend to be self-critical -- and that can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

Ah yes, a good thing and a bad thing.  That is philosophy.  Did BUSH (!!) ever say anything so profound?

"One of the strengths of Democrats is that we don't march lockstep," Obama told New Jersey Democratic donors last night. "We like to have internal arguments and we're very self-critical. We tend to look at the glass as half empty. And that makes us better."

Pass that on.  Pass that on.  Make sure all your neighbors know. 

"But," he added, "that's also a weakness, particularly four weeks before an election."

Yes, a weakness.  Are you taking notes?  Are you applying this to your own life?  There'll be a pop quiz.

The president warned fellow Democrats against "losing sight of that long game, and we start sulking and sitting back and not doing everything we can do to make sure our folks turn out."

Remember that:  No sulking.  To sulk is to lose.  Obama said that.  Write, write.

Now do you understand why Barack Obama is king of the world?  We haven't had such a profound thinker in the White House since...since...Jimmah Carter.  And he won a Nobel Peace Prize, so he must be good.

We look forward to more wisdom from dear leader, and we will pass it on to you.
