Right, because it is impossible to interpret what someone says. lols.

Only political hacks defend their hero by excusing this type of nonsense.

George Bush never said Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. Technically.

All depends on what the definition of is is, I reckon'.

The thread is about President Obama's speech.

Start a thread on Republican leadership if you so wish.

CHINA has already "boiled over" and I don't see hi dictating to them because he is afraid of them...Easy to tell poor and oppressed Africans they are getting nothing...So he wants to give them 7 billion to install power grids but the average African can not hook up an air conditioner? So what he insists that Africans can not have - is what he secretly believes Americans should not have.

Why is something so simple so hard for the simple minded?

Obama and his language of using the word allow shows me that Obama is ruler and he allows us to drive on the roads the government built.. we are allowed.. WE ARE ALLOWED to buy gas for our vehicles.

Obama forgets that those roads were built through capitalism and people paying taxes on the money they earned to be distributed to the needs of the people.. we needed roads.. and we the tax payer paid for them. NOT THE GOVERNMENT!

Why is intelligent and thoughtful disapproval seen or translated as HATE - The great catch word...Real hate is rare. No one hates Obama - they just can't bring themselves to enter into the delusion that he is brilliant...He's not ...but as liberals say about what used to be called retarded...is not "special"
