Has anyone seen at the Memorial Service of 9/11 when both Barack Obama and John McCain were approaching the tomb to render their respect to those who had lost their lives how each of them placed their flower on the tomb Obama by flicking it throwing it and McCain reverentially laying it on the tomb? This action in itself shows the difference in the gravitas of character between the two candidates and the degree of loyalty each has for America. The indifferent nonchalant attitude of Obama toward the fallen alone should cost him the election.
If one cannot show real empathy for the dead he has ever lost it for the living. Obama’s so called empathy for the poor and disadvantaged has the gravity of a flick.

You’ve got to be kidding me! McCain probably only has gravitas because his arthritis was acting up…
So you’re saying that from that one action, one has more loyalty to America than the other? What perspicacity! What analysis!

Cadwallon, to be a cynic standing close to the tub of Diogenes is a manifestation of intelligence. To be a SARCASTIC cynic is to disabuse yourself of the idea that you are intelligent.
It was Nietzsche who said that from ONE action alone in a critical situation one can make a judgment of a person’s character.
I would suggest to you that you “thin” out a bit your library and “burgeoning” it with the books of Nietzsche.
