Re: rational vs emotional?

If incidental or anecdotal data aggregation can't be made to correlate with overt facts or data, I discard the former, myself. YMMV... we simply place credence in different things.

hm... i've yet to meet somebody who can always do that, and who makes 100% pure rational decisions; even the most rational people i know have "hunches" and "instincts" and "gut reactions".

Obama does better with false-fronts and forced smiles

what's this then, other than your own gut talking?

how do any of us know when somebody's front is false, when zir smiles are forced? (i presume obama didn't personally tell you.) and even if we're quite certain they must be because we think that politicians all lie, few of them always lie -- and do we know why any particular smile is forced? is it because the person is lying about the issue, because zie's thinking about skirting some other more iffy issue, because zie's eager to get outta there cause the kid is sick at home, or maybe because zie's got gas at this very moment?
