Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry. “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner. Well. I guess he told that reporter. Didn’t he? But at what cost? Sphere: Related Content

Jill at Feministe explains: Oh for the love of God.  This is really beyond the pale. And really, if the “What election sexism?” Democrats can’t see how over-the-top this is, I don’t really know what to say. Progressives should be better than this.

In a recent interview with The Advocate, this is what Barack Obama had to say about a former professor of his: “He was a wonderful guy. He was the first openly gay professor that I had ever come in contact with, or openly gay person of authority that I had come in contact with. And he was just a terrific guy.

Discernment is the quality of being able to grasp what is obsure; the power to see what is not evident to the average mind; the act of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment; the keenness and accuracy of mental vision; the capacity of tracing out minute distinctions.
