		<description>the best politicians and ceos/managers have the same &quot;skill&quot; - to lie convincingly, to sincerely lie and flatter. they&#039;re all just distracting clowns, puppets and scarecrows of the real Powers That Be.</description>

		<description>I thought the same when I heard Dellums address the city council regarding the addition of 65 Police officers.  He used the words integrity, collaboration, honesty so many times you just know in your gut... he&#039;s lying or at least there&#039;s a difference of opinion that he&#039;s not mentioning and that you&#039;re not getting the whole story.</description>

		<description>I think people are so shocked when they see Dellums to the point that they don&#039;t comprehend what he&#039;s saying, much less question whether it&#039;s true or not.</description>

		<description>Why would anyone say such a thing?   Hmm.  Let&#039;s see.  

Could it be that Dellums thinks people will be impressed?  

Could it be that he thinks that people are so tired and busy trying to earn a living that they don&#039;t have time to evaluate what he says?  

Could it be that he thinks they don&#039;t understand enough English to understand the nuances?  

Could it be that he thinks they haven&#039;t learned critical thinking skills from the Oakland School system?

Could it be that he thinks it doesn&#039;t matter what he says, and it just pleases him to make things up for the humor of the situation?

Hmm.</description>
