Obama’s “Argument Techniques” Show That We Have A Child As President
Flopping Aces ^ | 02-21-15 | Warren Beatty

There are five reoccurring techniques that Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama uses when he wants to end an argument that he knows he cannot win with facts. Or if his argument responses are not on TelePrompter. They are:

Invoke a Straw Man - "They said nobody would sign up." Obama said that while celebrating the ACA sign-up numbers. But Obama neglected to specify who "they" were or are. Plus, no one said what Obama claimed. How does one intelligently argue against a totally fictitious straw man?

No intelligent disagreement - This is and has always been an Obama specialty. Obama said that opposition to the ACA is about him not two minutes after saying that arguments about the ACA "aren't about me." Obama also said "... states that have chosen not to expand Medicaid for no other reason than political spite" because expanding Medicaid involves "zero cost to these states." Obama is partially correct - the federal government does pay the full cost of expansion for the first three years. But (and there's always a 'but' when Obama is involved), after the first three years, states will pay up to 10 percent of expansion costs. And that 10 percent figure could increase as Congress deems more federal spending necessary by imposing more burdens on the states. How does one intelligently argue against someone who flip-flops, then ignores the entire reality by selectively choosing argument points?

Nothing to argue about, all going well - Obama insisted that the ACA is "working" on seven separate occasions. His definition of "working" is, at best, ambiguous. Sure, it's working because he said so. But the ACA is a net subtraction from the nation's well-being. How does one intelligently argue against an ambiguous definition?

That is why we have a straw shortage! bh0 has used it all up in his speeches/arguments because he doesn’t have truth or facts to put into them

Obama is pure Evil. Evil manifests itself in many devious ways.

This is about FAR more than immaturity. Obutthole hates everything good and supports anything evil. He hates the principles this country was founded on. But he LOVES himself.

I noticed, many years ago, than when B-HO really tries to press a point, he sounds almost like Napoleon Dynamite! “We can’t buy in to the notion that we’re somehow at war with Islam. Gahhhl! Sheeesh!”

Seriously, his vocal emphasis turns into that of a ten year old girl.

These are not the techniques of a child. These are the techniques of a hard core ideological leftist.

Obama was obviously not elected on the basis of his merits ... because HE HAS NONE!

Left out the one line he uses all the time. “I disagree with that decision” every time a court rules against him. Its a variation of the “it’s settled’ theme.

Are we surprised that a sexual deviant mind behaves in juvenile ways? LOL
