		<description>To all those who were out there getting a bit too upset...one of the many definitions of liberals found in google:

Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal. Liberalism has its roots in the Middle Ages and Age of Enlightenment.

		<description>Excellent point Joe, but buried in the banality of those questions I see an overlooked nugget of considerable substance, which applies universally to any politician of any party. The point of raising the nasty things Obama and Clinton said about each other during the primaries might just have been to ask, which I think the reporter in question was doing, and as I would in essence ask of any politician given the opportunity: 

Mr. President-elect, during the campaign you disparaged Sen. Clinton&#039;s foreign policy experience while now you are praising her capabilities for the primary foreign policy role in your administration- were you a) inaccurate in your remarks during the campaign or b) are you inaccurate in your remarks now or c) has something substantially changed between then and now and if so could you please elaborate on what has changed? And by the way, Mr. President elect, I don&#039;t see it as &quot;having fun&quot;, I see it as &quot;holding politicians accountable&quot; to the American people for apparently saying or doing what is politically expedient at one time and then saying or doing something completely contrary at another time, while dismissing the difference as &quot;things said in the heat of a campaign&quot; as if every speech and talking point in a campaign is not carefully crafted.</description>

		<description>Junius, I think it&#039;s clear that dignity and Derek have never met. I agree that we can&#039;t help the unhappy creature however. Maybe a good child psychologist could achieve something.</description>

		<description>Go back to the Free Republic and hang out with your own kind m@rons. The people who throw the troll line around freely are the real trolls. Your grammar gives you away.</description>

		<description>Basil, we can only hope the poor little thing sees the light in the end. I suggest we leave the creature to its unhappy ravings, and pray that it achieves a measure of dignty.</description>

		<description>Junius, it seems that the troll is getting grumpy. And it keeps talking to itself. Still, I suppose it now knows that it is lazy and needs to do some research. Anything could happen - it might even figure out the wonders of Google!</description>
