Oh yeah he just quit for no apparent reason you're right. Oh wait, what's that? I am being told that actually Obama didn't quit he was what's the word...oh yeah promoted. He got a better job, not quite sure what that job could be though. I think it starts with a "P", perhaps he's the Principal of some school? Either way I'm sure his job is much less important than Sarah's new job. You know she um...talks a lot and uh has a reality show. Ground breaking stuff here.

And yet conservatives are the "elitists".
Really, I find it funny that some people believe that a woman who thinks North Korea is an ally of the United States is smarter than a Harvard graduate just because he is Black.

Oh, come on, you're not confused. You know the difference very well. If Sarah had ridden in on John McCain's coattails (I hesitate to say 'elected' when she never sought the office), she would have resigned her governorship and no one would have thought twice about it.

I see that there is a wide schism in the definition of intelligence. To those on the left, it it is defined of going to a prestigious college, attaining degrees, and succeeding in a prefession or in academia. I guess this is what they call the liberal elite. To the right, it is able to hunt, load guns, be able to answer pageant questions, and be able to refer to as many things socialist as possible. Until we can come to a consensus, we will have a divided America. This is of national importance that until this can be resolved, America can not move forward.

Yea. That's it. He's become unpopular because he's black.

Give it up already, [MOD CUT]

This post is another fine example of projection.

Quote:
In Freudian psychology, Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies their own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to the weather, or to other people. Thus, it involves imagining or projecting that others have those feelings.[1]

The race is one of information/disinformation, and with FOX News being pumped into every home in North America complimented by a compromised mainstream media, the rightwing is winning.

It's really that simple, at its core.

Obamas presidential aspirations were well known while he was acting senator.
You can continue to delude yourself that he was giving his constituency 100% of his efforts and not letting that cloud his decision making process all you want, but most of us adult age Illinois voters know different.

You mean the one who had visited all but one of the 57 states?

The one who congratulated a Navy "corpseman"?

As opposed to the VP who insisted a paraplegic man in a wheelchair stand up?

The North Korea statement is a major gaffe. That's all it is. Nothing to do with college.
And I stand by my disparagement comment. Especially when that disparagement comes from people who sometimes seem that they can't find their head with both hands if you gave them directions.
