Good God. I'm so glad life isn't that hard for me to figure out.
A stock photo of Obama, how dare he.

The quote is his, the picture could have been posted by anyone (most likely some college-aged intern). Nice picture, though, and probably the only one they had on-hand with stars/space included. I'm sorry, was there a rule that Presidents must do a photo shoot whenever somebody dies? Did any other Presidents have special photo-ops to honor the dead? What a strange thing to complain about - petty, to say the least.

P.S. Interesting website you've cited, LOL.
obama claimed to use all these technologies and slammed McCain for not using them and being linked up.

Once again something shows up on a zillion conservative web sites within minutes of each other. Same story. Same web sites.

Tiresome AND unimaginative.

It is called their "news" if every website is talking about it at the same time, then it must be news, not opinion.

Now that they've made it thru opinion and news, I wonder if they'll ever become familiar with fact?

Actually I believe in facts, I just don't believe in "Fox News facts."

Sometimes I am surprised by the amount of banality that seems to upset people.

I mean I guess its part of the endless possible niches that the internet provides us. If you want to find a group who are upset that some artistic photo of Obama looking at a star is bad. . .and that the decision to put it up there has anything to do with the president.

Its just insane.

First, not a conservative. A libertarian who, unlike liberals, makes a habit out of thinking for myself.

Your snarky (and wrong) assumption says a lot about you.

As for the point of this thread, it has been explained. Because you cannot understand or accept it does not make it meaningless.
