Oooookay, someone on Twitter just told me:
"You are the most biased, delusional person I've seen to date regarding O." This was after I said that some people would still find fault with Obama if he handed them a million dollars on a silver platter. Then she proceeded to tell me that I am acting like a crazy when the Beatles came to town.

Oy.

The crazies are everywhere!

1. Tell her you are just being fair.......
and allowing this President to govern,
just like you would allow any others.
Bush blew it when he stole the election,
and we still gave Clinton benefit of the Doubt,
even after he was caught...well, doing you know what!


That should hush her for a while. :rofl:

2. If she responds to my latest tweet to her, I will.
Man, she just really went off the rails over what I said about the million bucks and silver platter. :rofl:

4. Exactly!
As I've said before, I just do not understand all these people screaming and yelling about Obama not waving his magic wand and making them all better.

He's a human being, not a magical being from another galaxy far far away, fer freak sake!

5. Probably called you what SHE is.
She is probably projecting onto you what she is, delusional regarding the President and his powers. That's usually the way it works.

6. I think a big part of the problem is the attacks on Obama have been over the top
it's like nothing he does is right. As a result many reasonable people are forced into a constant position of defense. It's not like we agree with the President on everything or think he has not made any mistakes, rather it's a matter of trying to give the man a fair break.


It's like if a crazy neighbor rang your doorbell and started ranting and raving to you about how horrible you mailbox was and how it was ruining the neighborhood. When you then tried to explain that you don't see your mailbox in that light, the same person accuses you of worshiping your mailbox.

9. No doubt that plays a role in all of this
too many people became emotionally invested in his failure (or staked their perceived reputations on it).

11. Freakin' Right! I love my country THAT MUCH..
and no one is going to tell me how to feel.

I had to step way back at work today bc a new volunteer was talking about Global Climate Change and he brought up Al Gore which I knew was mistake. I don't talk politics in the back with the volunteers bc I know some of them are fauxsn00zers..sure enough the next thing I knew one was going on and on about how we pay for "Michelle's dresses".

They say they're Christians but it wasn't very nice the pissy way she was dumping on the First Lady bc she thought we paid for her clothes.

(Best I could find on it)

12. Sheesh, even the Mafia have better manners than that!
They might go after the boss, but families are out of bounds.
