Even outsiders can see

Obama Re-Elected by Illiterate Society Says Russian Newspaper

Looking from the outside, they see how Obama has constantly lied to the American people. They also see him for what he really is, a communist. And they see him repeating the same mistakes that other communist leaders made in the past. Yet, the 62 million Americans that voted for Obama are blind to what is happening to them. Pravda is the most popular Russian newspaper in their country.

What? You can't just says "it's" and expect me to know. I am not being purposely obtuse, I just do not know what you are referencing with more than one sentence.

Then read the thread. Don't just jump part way through and post as if you think you know what you are talking about.

Hahahaha.....

You people crack me up. You are actually going to post a link to some opinion piece out of a Russian newspaper???

99% of the time you don't give a rat's ass about what other countries say about us, but let someone in another country say something negative about President Obama and you can't quote them fast enough.

Seriously....the hypocrisy is so transparent, it's actually quite hilarious. Pathetic, but still hilarious.

I'll bet it wouldn't take much of a google search for me to find and post links to plenty of writers, citizens, and world leaders of other countries who thought our previous president was an idiot, as well as a war criminal.

And I'd bet dollars to donuts that I could find plenty negative about Saint Ronnie as well.

But, hey! we all get it - the opinions (and that is all they are) of people in other countries only matter when it's something negative about our current president.

How pathetically transparent.

That is not what Jesus taught, nor Martin Luther King, or any other great moral leader. To be infatuated with one's own achievements, rank, and position is to be a shallow person.


^^^ This. ^^^^

^^^^This. You'd either have to bias or ignorant to think otherwise.

Obviously this administration is transparent to everyone but it's followers.

It's bias.

I'm not big on the political angle but people are so self-absorbed they simply can't admit they aren't special, gifted, or "one in a million". That's why certain folks have this absurd mentality that they've overcome odds like no other. They've done something so special. They did it despite others not with the help of others.

I have a news flash for the guy on welfare working at a fast food joint and the owner of two pizzerias in Anytown, USA:

If you went to get a job in Albert Einstein's lab...you'd both sweep up after he was done for the day. No atom splitting for you.

If you went to get a job with Daniel Hillel (Nobel Prize winner for irrigation advancement)...you'd get his lunch at noon every day. No crop production analysis for you.

If you went to get a job for the legendary rock 'n roll band The Who you'd be a roadie in training. No Baba O'Riley for you.

But you know what? It's ok!!! You're a human being that deserves respect and the opportunity to do whatever you like. Your life deserves the same dignity that everyone else does.

Just please stop thinking you've done something remotely important for society.
