One wonders why those on the right think that Obama -- a man most right-wingers feel is scarcely capable of tying his shoelaces -- would be able to generate enough competency to become a dictator. In addition, how would such an incapable person be able to turn the entire country into a socialist/communist/Islamic republic?

Not only do I think it's absurd that Obama would strive to be a dictator or turn the country into the aforementioned things (I'm sure he doesn't), I also don't think he's capable of it.

So, right-wingers, why do you give this man so much credit?

Right-wingers also believe the earth is 5000 years old, that Iraq attacked us on 911, that the government is fudging the unemployment numbers, and that Obama's birth certificate is fake.

They believe in many silly things, and I blame it on talk radio and the shrill crazies on Faux News.

It's odd, isn't it. One minute he's a stumblebum clown, next he's an evil genius.

Sometimes I wonder if these people really do see the world in comic-books terms - like, maybe when people talk, these RWNJs actually see dialog bubbles over their heads.

Precisely. The simplistic thinking of some is so easily discredited.

Right. Notice not one person from the right will answer my question?

We don't give him credit. He is a puppet and good at using hate speech. that is the only credit he gets... The unions own him too.

And the left believe they can spend their way out of Obama's economic mess. He says build from the middle class out. What he is leaving out is to build dependency from the middle class out.

If it was not for the left wing media Obama would be gone. The liberal left wing media will be sure to continue covering up his incompetence.

Why do you disbelieve the voters don't think for themselves?

After all, Fox news is the most popular on cable, and right wing talk dominates half of the radio. Newspapers and news magazines are split right and left, and the internet news is equally split. If there is some mysterious left wing media dominance, I can't see it.

News reportage is just that. People trust who they will when it comes to the media, and it was most evident that most pundits got it right as the election neared. Why did they get it right? Because they were more neutral than you are. And being accurate is what pays the bills in the long run for them all.

Choose to believe what you want, but blaming it all on the media has always been a weak excuse, and it's pitifully weak now. All it does is make you sound like a childish whiner who won't accept anything that you don't want to hear.

Face it, patch. You were one who bet the bank on anybody but Obama winning, and your bet was nothing but a pair of deuces. You failed to see how most of us actually thought and believed. As long as you remain an outlier, all you will get is perpetual disappointment, no matter who is elected.

Who is controlling him? Who is his puppeteer?

True, True, and Ture, cannot help stupidity when it comes around a second time. It will come around and bite them a goodd one.

If it were not for the GOP and RW media, willard might have had a chance too. After all, the mighty right did try to buy the election, didn't they? You'll lose the argument if you want to go down the pay to play path.
