Words do indeed have context. In yours I find a supposed intellectual smugness that knows no depth. The American populace has been "told" that our new President is brilliant, we certainly would not know this for certain because all of his school records have been sealed as well as his birth certificate and health records.
No one has told me Obama is brilliant. I have read his books and speeches and come to that conclusion myself. I have listened to him speak in interviews on many complicate matters. As far as your crap about school, the man was President of the Harvard Law Review. HARVARD. And if you retort with affirmative action, you are truly ignorant of how that system works.

FWIW, the President doesn't make the laws. He DOES need (especially now) to bring people together to solve problems, and Obama has a history of that.
The Bill Ayers nonsense is not worthy of a response unless you want to put forth your "strong evidence."

THANKS! He DOES have clever people around him. Finally, something we can agree on!
Sonrise is a forum member on here who wanted to meet me at the auto show. He is a republican and i'm a democrat. He would have fainted if he met me and found out how liberal I am.
Congresses approval ratings were even lower, and yet people still went and re-elected those same people back in.
You are mixing apples and oranges. Those approval ratings are national, but the elections are not. Look at the morons in office from South Carolina - they couldn't win a national election to save their life.
The funny thing is I actually support Lindsey Graham, Bob Inglis, Knox White, and Mark Sanford. I don't like Andre Bauer or Jim Demint though. I'm a democrat but I do vote republican.
I want the country to succeed, I love America with all of my heart. Obama stands for everything that I am against, not to mention that he is the least experienced POTUS by far.
The tired cliche' that you resorted to is, "Agree with me or you're not a patriot". Not only is it smug and condescending, it reeks of fascism. As a Christian, I will pray for my president; pray that he sees how destructive his ideas are and what an abject failure they have been when tried in Europe. He said that he will sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which in essence will make abortion unconditionally legal. 3 million murdered pre-born babies a year is a deal breaker for me. Call me crazy.

Those guys are RINO's through and through, except for Sanford, he's the MAN! Keep in mind there's a HUGE difference between a Republican and a Conservative.
I told you he would faint. You owe me a Lexus Sonrise.
I worked in Hollywood as an actor/model for 9 years. Almost all of my co-workers were so far to the left, they would elect Fidel Castro if he were eligible to run. I have no problem with libs, I just abhor hypocrisy and the fact that civility seems to be a thing of the past. The hatred for Bush for the last 8 years was so pathological a term was coined: BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), just read some of the P & C posts for further proof. When hate becomes a persons dominant ideology, they've gone too far. Regardless of party affiliation.
