My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, What day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time; Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. . . .
You're getting tedious BBS, and more than a little mad.

Since this has shockingly degenerated into intellectual flaming... I'm gonna sum up:
Symmetry: Obama is an awesome diplomat. Romney would be a failure (shambles). BBS: Here are all the bad things that have happened involving the US, diplomatically, since Obama became president. Symmetry: Dodge.

Bit unfair, no? Obama is a pretty good diplomat, and certainly better than Romney. Where's the dodge in that? I'm pretty sure I never said Obama was awesome.
I have a limited amount of awe, but a fair amount of ire. Romney is irritating.

I'm waiting for Lootifer to drop by and once again be embarrassed by his friend on the left.

BBS, can we incorporate this into your 2012 campaign as well? We've already got you a #1 Slogan ("Stop crying and get logical.), but we need a good #2 Slogan that can play in the Midwest and Rustbelt.

I was summing up. Summing up involves taking liberties with the details. BBS provided a rather lengthy, although partial, list of Obama's diplomatic faults. You've failed to address them. So I think the word "awesome" is acceptable.

Because I didn't address BBS adequately, my position is now changed? Taking liberties with the details is one thing, simply being dishonest is another.

Sym, you steadfastly think Obama is diplomatic. Obviously, that was shown to not be the case, but it doesn't matter if someone offers criticism which contradicts your previously held notions. You're not here to learn but rather to launch into monologues and berate people with excuses and logical fallacies whenever they object.
You're getting tedious, Symmetry, and more than a little mad.

He's not diplomatic now? That he's poor on his diplomacy or not is a different issue. Arguing that he isn't diplomatic is a pretty radical take,

Symmetry, I know that a scale between diplomatic and hawkish may seem to nuanced of a concept for you, but I can only pray that you'll recover from your fallacious thinking.

Too, you meant to write too.
I have no idea of the scale between diplomatic and hawkish.
I suspect it's not an actual scale.
Provisionally let's put me at a 5 (assuming your scale is out of ten).

Not a big deal on the national level, but it's a huge deal locally. People have been on tv talking about how they've torn down their own Romney support signs because he's profiting from the removal of jobs from the area. Our unemployment rate is already well above national average, and the plant is profitable, but they're still shipping the factory itself to China. Part of the labor force was sent to China to train their replacements and still another portion has been living in tents downtown in protest. Our local government has written several useless letters to Bain and to Romney, though they're just as well off saving paper for all the good it's doing. It's a huge deal in my community. As Sarah Thompson said, she's 'pretty disgusted that a person can make a profit from the suffering of other people, then say that they have no knowledge of where that profit is coming from.' She's right, that doesn't make it good. But that's what Romney said, that he doesn't know anything about the closing of the Freeport plant, though he's making money off of it.
