A tea bagger is also something else. Which is not in and of itself insulting. Unless you want it to be.

Obviously, she's seen his speech. I'm amazed how some people post things from their imagination as if they're facts.

Only one President was elected and even re-elected by acclimation. George Washington in 1789 and 1792!

Mocks and insults half the American people? Please, step away from Fox News. In the real world he has done no such thing.

An election where the EC margin is over 100 is one you can't get out the old monkey wrench like was done in in US Presidential elections like 1824,1840,1860,1876,1888,1960,1968, 2000 and 2004 and FIX the results!. Race fixing is alright at the race track but not in the race for the Presidency.

The comment about people clinging to their guns and religion was after he lost rural Democratic voters in the Democratic presidential primary.

In fact he was saying he had failed to reach those voters and they had a right to be skeptical.

Had nothing to do with conservatives or even republicans.

Reality is meaningless though.

"Reality is meaningless though." Apparently reality to liberals is much murkier than Independents and Conservatives.

Again, instead of dealing with being wrong....... Your proof that President Obama has attacked conservatives comes from a statement that in fact had nothing to do with conservatives.

He was talking about losing rural Democratic voters in the Democratic Presidential primary.


And he said he had to get those voters to trust him, they had a right to be skeptical and he had to do a better job of reaching out to them.

Reality is meaningless though.

Alright, I'll meet you half way and give you that point. My point was that the President is divisive in his rhetoric. He pits one group against another. Gun owners vs. people who do not own them. Small towns in Pennsylvania vs. more progressive urban areas. Portraying people of faith as small minded. Portraying people who believe in enforcing border law as being anti-immigration.

We should take numbers. How many minutes into Obama's speech will it take for Obama to attack republicans.

If you haven't heard it every time you're obviously too busy enjoying those tingles.

A lot of people fail to see how calling a football team the Redskins is offensive. Do you hold the same position with regard to that or are you just another liberal hypocrite?
