Word of the day: Vague


1. a. Not clearly expressed: stated in indefinite terms

b. Not having a precise meaning

2. a. Not clearly defined, grasped or understood

b. Not clearly felt, or sensed, somewhat subconscious



If I had one word to describe President Obama, it would be vague. Especially after looking up the specific definition of vague, my opinion was solidified. He has been vague regarding the economy and his exact plan of action. He has been vague regarding the health care reform, leaving the details to the legislators. I believed it was intentional, because we wouldn't like the details. He has been vague about his "plan for withdrawl from Iraq" that he campaigned heavily on. And finally, we saw last night, that he was very vague on our plan of action regarding the oil spill in the Gulf Coast. And after the past 18 months, the oil slicked tide seems to be shifting. His public approval ratings have dramatically dropped over the past year, but now we catch a glimpse of his adoring news media faultering in their faith. And I believe it is because he is too vague. It is pitiful that it took a tragedy of this magnitude to show the inability in his vagueness.

And yes, it is MSNBC! You are NOT watching FoxNews.

Great Debate


Last night I clicked over to John Stewart's Daily Show, and saw him hashing it out with Arthur Brooks, the author of The Battle. They had a GREAT measured, well-informed debate, where I found myself with agreeing with both of them at different points through the conversation. It was very interesting, and thought I would put it out there. HERE is the link. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
