No one was a better "Wordsmith" than the late Lewis Carroll.  And no one better questioned the meaning and accuracy of the English language.  President Barack Obama is unquestionably a great orator.  But how far can words alone take us?  What does labeling achieve?  And where does hyperbole end and meaning begin?

Lana Mully and Jox Suldaur, Special Agents who work on the periphery of the FBI with so-called “XX” Files have passed along the following partial transcript from John McCain’s hotel suite. Recorded the night before John McCain announced his choice for a running mate, it reveals McCain and his closest advisors involved in an “XX” episode . . .

Mr. Rove observes that "Stripped of his mystique [Obama] could become just another liberal politician – only one who parses, evades, dissembles and condescends. That narrative is beginning to take hold. If those impressions harden into firm judgments, Mr. Obama will have a very difficult time in November."

Barack Obama still has time to ensure that he does NOT have a difficult time in November.  Hopefully he will use his time wisely.

As Karl Rove so aptly stated in the Wall Street Journal:

"Mr. Obama's problem is a campaign that's personality-driven rather than idea-driven. Thus incidents calling into question his persona and character can have especially devastating consequences."
