Jeez, meow, ladies. How hateful.

Chef Zee, McCain’s cheek is puffy from where a skin cancer was removed. I love watching the Obamas together too, and watching either of them. Can’t hurt to have some beautiful people in the White House again.

I meant to say: Pairing a very extrovert man with an extrovert woman, often does not mesh well in a relationship. Extroverts and introverts can both be very “strong” character wise, and both can be highly effective first ladies. This is from wikipedia but gives a pretty accurate overview of the two traits: Extraversion Extraverts typically thrive in large groups. Extraversion is “the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self”.[3] Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve large social gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Acting, teaching, directing, managing, brokering are fields that favor extraversion. An extraverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They enjoy risk-taking and often show leadership abilities.[4] An extravert is energized when around other people. Extraverts tend to “fade” when alone and can easily become bored without other people around. Extraverts tend to think as they speak. When given the chance, an extravert will talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think. [edit]Introversion Introverts often enjoy solitary activities like reading. Introversion is “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life”.[3] Introverts tend to be low-key, deliberate, and relatively less engaged in social situations. They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer and inventor are all highly introverted. An introverted person is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people (although they tend to enjoy interactions with close friends). They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate.[5] Introversion is not the same as shyness. Introverts choose solitary over social activities by preference, whereas shy people avoid social encounters out of fear.[6] An introvert is energized when alone. Introverts tend to “fade” when with people and can easily become overstimulated with too many others around. Introverts tend to think before speaking.[7] [edit]Ambiversion Although many people view being introverted or extraverted as a question with only two possible answers, most contemporary trait theories (e.g. the Big Five) measure levels of extraversion as part of a single, continuous dimension of personality, with some scores near one end, and others near the half-way mark.[8] Ambiversion is a term used to describe people who fall more or less directly in the middle and exhibit tendencies of both groups.[3][9] An ambivert is normally comfortable with groups and enjoys social interaction, but also relishes time alone and away from the crowd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extroversion Our society greatly values extroversion, and sometimes assigns unflattering traits to introversion, like “cold.” But as another poster commented when Cindy McCain was on the View she seemed warm and friendly, but she was in, what was for her, a preferred small group discussion.

Let’s not psycho babble our way into the election. Mrs. Reagan was a useless, superstitious, manipulating broad who cajoled, stomped, and wielded much power over her hunk. What do you know about Cindy except her public image? They’ve lived apart during most of their marriage, she with domestic help and children, and he remained in Washington all these years. What does she have to say? What in heaven’s name do you know about her heart or personality. Michelle is educated, has a profession, supported herself, is responsible, and certainly, the Obamas’ body language reveals lots. Depending on media to psychoanalyze is playing games.

P. S. Has anyone else noticed that ‘something’ is going on in the ‘he/she’ world. Look at the longer, almost long curl hair styles seen on CNN as well as in town more and more. I shop via catalog and so many of the clothes are blouses with short, puffy sleeves, or little ties or bows in the back, tops with peplums. As far as I can see, many of the dresses are the ‘decent dresses’ that women wore a Jackie Kennedy ago or they look like dresses housewives wore in the ’30s. Sumthin is going on he/she wise! Does anyone else have any observations or comments on this?
