Very fresh, Barack...only a girly-man would challenge a manly girl...

Are you people idiots, or are you just trying to act like one?

Actually, like everything else, she has more experience in basketball than the big O does (that would be Obama, not his #1 fan Oprah). At this point in the game, you gotta wonder if the dem leaders are scratching their heads wondering "what happened?" 1. They put Dean in charge. 2. THEY picked and pushed the wrong candidate for the ticket. Dems will once again lose. Why can't they pick a more moderate everyday kind of candidate. Why the most liberal superstars? It DOES NOT SELL!

He, (BHO), tries to come over as Mr Nice Guy, but, with that half-billion $ he has to spend, he has a team of 30 (!) lawyers up in Alaska right now trying to dig dirt on Palin. If he finds any flaws his pals in the mainstream media will gladly run with it to abstraction. They, the mainstream media, already KNOW that there is a TON of bad stuff out there on BHO, (Rezko, Kwame K, limousine sex, you name it) but they won't even go near it. That stuff only promulgates on the blogosphere and through people talking to each other in church on Sunday mornings, (a pretty inefficient way to distribute news, which works very well to BHO's advantage).

Isn't it absolutely glaring how the media is digging and picking up anything on Palin and running with it (as evidenced last week), but will not report anything negative about Obama (with the exception of Fox). For years and months there were rumors about Obama and his church, Willam Ayers and the whole Rezco thing. The slience was deafening coming out of the news media. They truly have made fools of themselves and have taken the word professionalism out of any description of themselves.

It's scary to think that some of those posting here may actually vote in the upcoming election.

I listened to the Palin's speech, all she described was that she is an average wooman with basket ball, target shooting, hunting, fishing... Do we need an such average woman to no 2 spot position to lead our country?

Palin couldn't raise her family to the christian values she preached. If she could not govern her family, how could she govern a big country?

SIGNS of the TIMES : The Dems better begin to worry ...

When their startlet Obama starts to talk about BASKETBALL instead his "CHANGE" agenda, it is a SIGN that his starting to lose HIS own direction.

Obama is starting to remind me more and more of Dukakis and Carter (that one lost the election)

Could we turn to the issues for just a minute?

Do you have health insurance provided by your employer? John McCain wants to start TAXING health insurance benefits.

Do you, or your parents receive a Social Security check every month? John McCain wants divert money currently paying for retirement checks to PRIVATE ACCOUNTS.

This means that Social Security will become insolvent FASTER under John McCain's plan.

Tough luck Mom and Dad. Too bad for my Grandmom. Too bad for America.

I mean with 58 days to go before the BIG DAY ...he starting to talk GIBBERISH ...

Just cannot picture negotiating with Putin.

Just cannot picture Obama negotiating with Putin ... I mean he's going to say that he can play ICE HOCKEY than the Russians ?

He is not even a HOCKEY MUM !!!

Obama is starting to suffer from "media-fatigue" ... much of what we saw since Feb 2008 was a clear case of media-circus around Obama at the expense of McCain (and too certain extent Hillary).

Now that McCain has stolen the headlines by naming Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin, with a tumultuous political and personal history, dominated the news, overshadowing efforts by Obama and his running mate, Biden, to tell their own political story.

This is definitely is reflected in the national polling numbers and could give McCain a lead when the next round of polls comes out next week. In swing state Ohio, the projection is for McCain to take the lead over Obama. Now they are tied at 42%.

HOw long do you suppose it will be before he throws Biden under the bus and comes out with a woman VP? I'm giving him two weeks max.

Putin is VERY well educated person, speaking several languages, Pit Bull can just bark after trying 6 collages in 5 years ( seems nothing can teach her anything with her mentality on 5th grade level).
barking is not the way to talk out of borders.
You need intellect to deal abroad and even to use Liebermann’s notes. Pit Bull has ZERO.
That is why just Idiots are following her.
Want to fool Yourself – Pick Pit Bull.

Dude is awesome, and the freaking intelligence of the guy. This country is lucky to have this guy as the next President of the United States of America.

So sad we have so many folks scared about a black man running the country. Awww… well, just curl up with your Fox News and suck your thumbs. Hate and fear ain’t winning you pathetic babies an election this year. Oooo, scary, ooooooo, black man for President.

Alaskan State Troopers call Wasilla the Meth Capital of Alaska & say the term Hockey Mom is code for "Artic Meth Princess".

SIGNS of the TIMES :

When "Presidential star qualities" is starting to lose its luster because McCain-Pailin is grapping all the headlines ... tells you that all this while, HE HAD IT EASY with the media behind him. Take him away from the spotlight and put him in KITCHEN, he starts to talk about BASKETBALL !!!

Very Visionary !!!

TheVapidRight: "Are you people idiots, or are you just trying to act like one?"

They're conservatives--it's part of their playbook. If they can turn every discussion into a obscene cesspool, or at least reduce it to the level of grunts and shouts, they've succeeded in stopping any progress or any meaningful discussion of issues.

McCain is trying to show you people how stupid you really are. He picks what is the most absurd choise for his VP running mate in an attempt to say I'll run with an Idiot an still win. The Lemmings immediatly lined up to jump the cliff along with him.

You Lemmings know who you are. The same ones who started to wear the mustash and goatee after Mark McGuire hit all the home runs. Like trying to look like him gave them some kind of power from him, how dumb can you get.......?

This is an excellent article . Thanks a lot . I am grateful to you .

How can so many Americans be so Stupid and believe, support and follow this man?

How can they let their minds be persuaded, manipulated, conditioned to submitting to this man?

How can they be so naive and gullible to let their minds be tricked into believing this known proven liars words?

Is it weakness or desperation or is it the program and techniques that are used on them so strong they can not resist?

It is far past the time for someone to investigate the use of these programs and techniques, being used on the American people.

It is the right and the responsibility for someone in a position to do something about this problem of national security. For the good of the country and the people Of America.

Where is Big Brother when they are needed the most.

Where are the government Watch dogs and Protectors of this Nation?

There is a peaceful coup taking over the Government, Who is Responsible from letting it happen.

This Man Obama is the Single Most Threat to National Security this nation has ever came up upon us.

God Bless America

God Bless the People of America, keep them from harm.

The Time is now to protect America

How dumb can you get?? Answer you elected George Bush twice, the idiot from Crawford Texas, which is in the middle of no where Texas, so far from anything Laura told chimpy she wasn't going to stay there when they left office. At least one of the Bushes has some sence.

6 colleges in 5 years? Just to get a degree? This woman must be a dunce.

Remember when Obama said he got his best experience for foreign policy by living in Indonesia between the ages of 6 and 10, and then Joe Biden, tongue-in-cheek agreed with him that that was actually the best experience he could tout? Yep, America should feel safe and secure.

Gus, you simply do not want to go there with your 57 states !

If the American people think taxes will not be raised they are kidding themselves how do you think we are going to get out of the debt we are in and pay China back? I for one would rather a president and vp that are repectful of the people they are serving and know the constituation because they have studied it and taught it. No one has the exprience to be president unless you have served in that office, but you have to have the temperment be president. Watching the RNC was very disappointing there was no respect for the least of us.

Can the super-rich former governor of Massachusetts — the son of a Fortune 500 C.E.O. who made a vast fortune in the leveraged-buyout business — really keep a straight face while denouncing “Eastern elites”?

Can the former mayor of New York City, a man who, as USA Today put it, “marched in gay pride parades, dressed up in drag and lived temporarily with a gay couple and their Shih Tzu” — that was between his second and third marriages — really get away with saying that Barack Obama doesn’t think small towns are sufficiently “cosmopolitan”?

Can the vice-presidential candidate of a party that has controlled the White House, Congress or both for 26 of the past 28 years, a party that, Borg-like, assimilated much of the D.C. lobbying industry into itself — until Congress changed hands, high-paying lobbying jobs were reserved for loyal Republicans — really portray herself as running against the “Washington elite”?

Yes, they can.

On Tuesday, He Who Must Not Be Named — Mitt Romney mentioned him just once, Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin not at all — gave a video address to the Republican National Convention. John McCain, promised President Bush, would stand up to the “angry left.” That’s no doubt true. But don’t be fooled either by Mr. McCain’s long-ago reputation as a maverick or by Ms. Palin’s appealing persona: the Republican Party, now more than ever, is firmly in the hands of the angry right, which has always been much bigger, much more influential and much angrier than its counterpart on the other side.

What’s the source of all that anger?

Some of it, of course, is driven by cultural and religious conflict: fundamentalist Christians are sincerely dismayed by Roe v. Wade and evolution in the curriculum. What struck me as I watched the convention speeches, however, is how much of the anger on the right is based not on the claim that Democrats have done bad things, but on the perception — generally based on no evidence whatsoever — that Democrats look down their noses at regular people.

Thus Mr. Giuliani asserted that Wasilla, Alaska, isn’t “flashy enough” for Mr. Obama, who never said any such thing. And Ms. Palin asserted that Democrats “look down” on small-town mayors — again, without any evidence.

What the G.O.P. is selling, in other words, is the pure politics of resentment; you’re supposed to vote Republican to stick it to an elite that thinks it’s better than you. Or to put it another way, the G.O.P. is still the party of Nixon.

One of the key insights in “Nixonland,” the new book by the historian Rick Perlstein, is that Nixon’s political strategy throughout his career was inspired by his college experience, in which he got himself elected student body president by exploiting his classmates’ resentment against the Franklins, the school’s elite social club. There’s a direct line from that student election to Spiro Agnew’s attacks on the “nattering nabobs of negativism” as “an effete corps of impudent snobs,” and from there to the peculiar cult of personality that not long ago surrounded George W. Bush — a cult that celebrated his anti-intellectualism and made much of the supposed fact that the “misunderestimated” C-average student had proved himself smarter than all the fancy-pants experts.

And when Mr. Bush turned out not to be that smart after all, and his presidency crashed and burned, the angry right — the raging rajas of resentment? — became, if anything, even angrier. Humiliation will do that.

Can Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin really ride Nixonian resentment into an upset election victory in what should be an overwhelmingly Democratic year? The answer is a definite maybe.

By selecting Barack Obama as their nominee, the Democrats may have given Republicans an opening: the very qualities that inspire many fervent Obama supporters — the candidate’s high-flown eloquence, his coolness factor — have also laid him open to a Nixonian backlash. Unlike many observers, I wasn’t surprised at the effectiveness of the McCain “celebrity” ad. It didn’t make much sense intellectually, but it skillfully exploited the resentment some voters feel toward Mr. Obama’s star quality.

That said, the experience of the years since 2000 — the memory of what happened to working Americans when faux-populist Republicans controlled the government — is still fairly fresh in voters’ minds. Furthermore, while Democrats’ supposed contempt for ordinary people is mainly a figment of Republican imagination, the G.O.P. really is the Gramm Old Party — it really does believe that the economy is just fine, and the fact that most Americans disagree just shows that we’re a nation of whiners.

But the Democrats can’t afford to be complacent. Resentment, no matter how contrived, is a powerful force, and it’s one that Republicans are very, very good at exploiting.

Hey Jim, you are 100% correct. Hacks like Kieth Olbermann have infested the media and as a result completely detroyed its credibility. Good riddance to it.

How quickly minds forget, especially ones that hate Obama

Wasn't it Stephanopoulos who spent 45 minutes of a democratic debate ABC sponsored to hammer Obama?

You must remember that debate where Obama got peppered with questions about Reverend Wright, and Bill Ayers.

You can't have it both ways, unless your Faux News in which case you just make things up.

Turning to the issues for a minute, the federal government is spending HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on prescription drugs.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that we use the purchasing power, just like when private companies like McDonald's order their potatoes, and negotiate the price with the big drug companies.

EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIAL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD SAVES THEIR TAX PAYERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY NEGOTIATING ON THE PRICE OF PRESCRIPTIONS.

Why does John McCain favor wasting the American taxpayer money?

Racist!!! this is no Oprah's show, dude!

AND TO THOSE WHO WONDER WHY THE CANDIDATES DON'T TALK ABOUT ISSUES - THE PRESS NEVER ASKS OBAMA ABOUT THE ISSUES. THEY THROW HIM SOFTBALL QUESTIONS ABOUT BASKETBALL. MCCAIN & PALIN TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES ALL THE TIME, BUT THE MEDIA DOESN'T REPORT IT. THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH HER KIDS. AS FAR AS THEIR OBAMESSIAH, THEY KNOW HE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES BECAUSE HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE, AND THAT JOE "I'M FROM SCRANTON" BIDEN IS AN ISSUE ALL BY HIMSELF.

Jazboy it took her 5 Colleges to find a Professor who would trade grades for, well you know.

"AS IF SHE COULDN'T PLAY A REAL GAME OF BASKETBALL"

OBama is not insulting Palin. Obama is afriad to drive to the hoop. While Palin was called Barracuda for her aggressive play Obama stands outside shooting avioding contact lest someone sends his skinny girlish figure flying.

Voter in PA can the novel legnth posts, or we will ship you out to Iran.

geevil outside shooter do so because they have that ability and are talanted with hand eye cordination as opposed to one who stretches the rules when talent alone can't do the job.

Ordinary people can do extra-ordinary things. Cliche or not, history is about to repeat istself.

"Dude is awesome, and the freaking intelligence of the guy. This country is lucky to have this guy as the next President of the United States of America"

HOW SO? I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE SMARTER THAN HIM DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN. HE HAS NO BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT I CAN THINK OF.

"Do you have health insurance provided by your employer? John McCain wants to start TAXING health insurance benefits."

HE IS ACTUALLY PROVIDING A $2500/$5000 TAX CREDIT ALSO. YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE ENTIRE STORY (SOMETHING DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS DON'T USUALLY DO!)

"Do you, or your parents receive a Social Security check every month? John McCain wants divert money currently paying for retirement checks to PRIVATE ACCOUNTS."

THE PEOPLE RECEIVING SOCIAL SECURITY WILL STILL GET THEIR CHECKS. THIS IS ANOTHER DEMOCRAT SCARE TACTIC. AGAIN DEMOCRATS DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO MATH AND DON'T WANT TO LOOK THE BIG PICTURE. FACT IS THAT ALL OF THESE RETIRED PEOPLE ARE TAKING MANY TIMES THE MONEY THEY PUT IN THE SYSTEM OUT OF IT. OUR YOUNG GENERATIONS ARE GETTING SCREWED. WHATS WRONG WITH GIVING THEM PRIVATE ACCOUNTS LIKE 401KS?
IT MAY ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE THEM TO SAVE MORE. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND DON'T BE STUPID. WHEN YOUR GRANDPARENTS ONLY MADE $20,000 / YEAR AND THE RECEIVE $20,000/YEAR IN BENEFITS. YOU'VE GOT TO
THINK TO YOURSELF THAT SOMETHING IS NOT FAIR.

Obama has become pathetic!

Having been a coach for years I've known a great many athletes, and I have observed that the most aggressive players were the least physicaly talanted ones. They would make up for their lack of physical ability by aggression on the field. That in its self is not bad but a great many find unethical ways to foul others when they know they are blocked from the officals views. That I would never put up with if it was one of my players, they would be asked to clean up their act or quit the team.

Did anyone else hear Obama defend his Muslim faith? He quickly tried to cover it up by refering to his Christian faith. Obama tries hard but can't hide that lie

I have seen Obama play basketball...my Yorkie is better at hoops than he is! Probably all that Cocaine he admittedly used in college!

Yes, my employer provides health insurance, however, if Obama gets elected and we go under his healthcare plan, I fully expected my employer to drop this perk. Their thoughts are that the government is now providing it and we can get it that way. I'll be paying even more monthly now with higher co-pays and deductibles. And how are we going to pay for this new healthcare - why higher taxes of course. I can already calculate the "economic relief" Obama has planned for us. Oh yeah, and my very small nest egg, I'll get to pay three times as much taxes on any growth in those. Obama is not going to help out this very middle of the road middle class worker, he's going to harm my family more economically.

I mean with 58 days to go before the BIG DAY ...he starting to talk GIBBERISH ...

Just cannot picture negotiating with Putin.

I agree! THAT is ALL OBAMA does, is speak in riddles, if I want that I can go listen to the Hustler on the corner with his girls on the street! HE is just not capable of being President unless its in Kenya....

Did anyone posting on here actually WATCH the interview this morning? Obama was ANSWERING a question posed to him by a listener, he did NOT bring the subject of basketball up. I can't believe how hateful many comments are on so many of these discussion boards. Is there ANY discussion board out there in cyberspace in which INTELLIGENT political discussion is taking place?

Kenya, Is it another state of the USA as like Georgia? Hell, Pretjene, you confused the hell out of me. I will need to consult with Biden before I anticipate any further discussion with you.

Obama and George bonded in that interview this morning. The interview showed the contrast between the Democrats and Republicans. In a way George and Obama played a friendly game of basketball!

McCain't 26 years in Congress & Senate and aal to show for it is McCain FeinGold Bill. Never made anyone famous for outing them on ear marks as of this date so what was his problem in getting started on that issue say 25 years ago. Oh, thats right he wasn't runniig for President then.

This is about the most biased interview I have heard from George S.
Surely we all miss Tim Russert. He did a great job of staying in the middle and reporting the facts.

McCain should be making his good old buddy Phil Gramm famous as the Blossem who caused so much damage to our banking industry with his oh so great legiaslation opening up the markets to crooked speculators. And sitting on the board of the Swiss bank that helped Americans set up secret accounts to hide money from the IRS.

Missed the interview with George. My measure of a good Obama interview/speech is strictly on the basis of "Would this send tingles up Chris Matthews legs?" Was it a Matthews-worthy interview?

IUf you want unbiased news reporting go to FOX news or Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh they rep[ort the same things daily as if from the same page.

Lets hear from the "Songbird" today what does Johnny have to say??? Is he still getting his economic advice from Phil Gramm the thief?

""She looks like she’s got some game."

but he doesn't... unless the other players are told to lay off the runty guy

Georgie thinks it is racist to comment on "community organizer"?

How about putting aside name-calling. Maybe it's a subliminal message that he is in over his head and really should be the VP nominee. Why else does he feel compelled to compare himself to Palin?

What a hypocrite! I believed in Senator Obama! My six voting members of my democratic party family believed in Obama. Four of my family members are females and devoted supporters of Senator Clinton. We all thought that he was going to be the change that this country needed. I was so pysched up for my democratic convention, but Obama picked Biden, who is not a change but one of the big problems. Now look at Senator McCain who picked an outsider, and most of all, a hard working professional woman who believes in America. I may not agree with everything that Senator McCain stands for, but he's a better choice that wishy-washy, back-sliding, bend at every blow of the wind, change your stance, and big time HYPOCRITE OBAMA! HE REALLY LET US DOWN! WHAT OTHER LIES IS HE GOING TO SPREAD NOW? HE PROMISED CHANGE, BUT WHO REALLY LOOKED OUT OF THE BOX? SENATOR CLINTON DEMOCRATS FOR CHANGE AND FOR SENATOR MCCAIN!

Palin is better than you on every count. You Chicago politician, tell us about ACORN, hospital deal, etc. Biden and Obama are OL BOYS CLUB, OBAMA brings NO CHANGE.

The more he try to SPIN it, the more his polls numbers are falling ...

Even before the full effect of RNC Convention Bounce is kicking in, the average of all polls (CNN, CBS, Gallup, Ramussen, Hotline) is showing Obama leading by a wafer thin margin of 1.8%. McCain is now 44.6% snapping away at Obama 46.4%

I know a lot of Obama supporters are going to say they do not believe in polls....they are afterall .... JUST POLLS !!!

Do we need an "average woman"? Well, if you think Sarah Palin is "average" because she's a mother and hasn't been working her way up the political food chain for nearly three decades like Obama, the answer is "yes, we do".

Palin's not "average" in regards to ideas and management. She actually knows how to get things done and has been doing it in Alaska in every position she's held. Tell me, besides floating a billion dollars to his political backers in ear marks, what has Obama done?

I'll ask again: What has Obama done? What has he done to prove that he can put his ideas into actions?

Comment:"He might mention to Palin that Jesus was a community organizer"

We might emind you that Jesus was the Messiah. Obama is NO Messiah.

It's amazing to me that people are willing to trust government to provide all the services Obama is promising. Take healthcare.
Ever have a good time at your state motor vehicle license place? Or try to get answers from the IRS? Ever consider Amtrak, who's been building debt for 30 years? Social Security?

What makes you think that it won't be different, and that lifetime appointed bureaucrats would give two craps about your health problems?
The architect of Canada's govt. healthcare recently said that privatization was the only good solution to the problem of long lines and people waiting for treatment.

As far as the Obama "plan" to revitalize the economy, he fails to understand that only business growth provides jobs, not taxing businesses! How can you talk about job creation in the same breath as discussing a massive tax increase...as if we'll all be working on wind farms, for God's sake.
Oh yeah-it takes 175,000 acres of windmills to equal one nuclear power plant...but Obama is against nuclear, right?
Can somebody explain to me what provides power when windmills are inactive?

So he could take Palin in hoops?

Wow.

Senator Obama,

Please give us some examples of when you stood up to your own party in the Senate.

Include Senator Biden's examples in your answers.

If we used a pencil, would we have to sharpen it after your answers?

I'm more concerned about Obama's comment about his MUSLIN faith, which George had to say you mean Christian faith. I wonder if Obama would have even realized that he said his Muslin faith if George hadn't corrected him. What a slip up for Obama his true colors are coming out.

Wow. Obama was terrible in that interview.

Sadly, Palin would show up ready to go and Obama would simply say "present."

I returned, and saw under the sun,
that the race is not to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong,
Neither yet bread to the wise
Nor yet riches to men of understanding
Nor yet favor to men of skill
But Time and Chance happens to them all

Ecclesiastes 9:11

It is not John McCains time to be President and it is not Sarah Palin's chance to be Vice President

It is Barack Obama's Divine Time and Barack Obama's divine chance to be President of the United States of America.

THE OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW!

Even in basketball, Sarah Palin is more experienced than Obama. As a underdog, Sarah Palin won the state title with a clutch free throw. Obama won nothing. Obama is nothing but words.

Beyond the basketball nonsense, which BTW is a joke simply because Palin could out play him blindfolded wearing stilettos, one would ask themselves why ABC has Obama on for a 20 minute interview AFTER the Republican convention. AND all Obama all the time after the Democratic convention. hummmm.... I guess they aren't getting the "bias" message.

He obviously will defer against bowling against her....

Like the townhall debates - he would have his clock cleaned.

Quote from Mamajama:

"You have some of the most blatantly racist crap I've ever seen on here....If you guys are repping McCain/Palin, you might want to at least try to pretend to be middle-of-the-road Americans instead of a KKK lynch mob."

Mamajama;
You talk to yourself!! The fact that many people reject Obama is NOT because of his race, but because of his controversial background and friends as well his very very little experience.

The best line to describe Obama's candidacy is: some politicians use change to promote their careers, some use their careers to promote change. Obama is in the former!

Got it??

All the way from Africa
That old sweet land of Kenya
called from up out of a thousands oceans and seas
Walking on the waters of Faith
A Child was born in Hawaii
Predestined by God Almighty
The Outstretch arm of God
And his Mighty hand upon his back
He traveled from nations to nations
With a Holy supernatural purpose
Courage to show compassion to little
people in the valley
Although he has a Mountaintop
Education
A sealed destiny
Critics by the thousands
Smear campaigns with serpents tongues
in black suits, white robs, moose skin shoes
He has rightfully earned his time and his place for where stands today
He has sacrificed, suffered and has struggled
Because of him, We the American People Will Rise Again!
"We Have Overcomed"

I love how this article glosses over the fact that Obama admits "my muslim faith" when defending himself.

Horse? Non-contact basketball is the best metro-boy is willing to risk?
Yeah, better not try target shooting, she'll gut and clean you before you begin.

Sarah Palin was NOT discussing Jesus' credentials as a community organizer in her speech, she was discussing OBAMA'S.

As much as his supporters like to think he is the new Messiah, his community organizing skills were nowhere near on the same level as Jesus' were..........

So let me get this straight: Sarah went out and actually competed on a team for a state championship, while Obama shoots some hoops on the half court.

Another telling contrast between the two: One talks a good game, the other takes the court and plays a good game.
