What is utterly astounding is the complete and total ignorance or worse, brainwashing of the libs I hear about Obama. There is simply no negative fact they can know or can ignore as far as its’ implications. None. Everything about Obama is tweaked into a positive! If he’s not helping poor people he’s helping us to get off Mideast-based energy! If he’s not developing wind-farms in the Midwest he’s helping us to achieve a better relationship with Iran. The only time he’s not working for a better world is when he’s visting his dying grandmother. The associations with Ayers, Wright, et al, he has apparently atoned for those by apparently jettisoning those folks, which transcends any poor judgement he may have shown by being their associates/ allies for decades.
If a man wants to believe something, no amount of evidence or argumentation will change his mind.
It seems that the vast majority of Obama voters are wishful thinkers. Wishful thinking can't survive for very long in the work-a-day world, but it can survive in the hothouse environments of universities, government employment, and government subsidy.
This tells us something about the state of our society that isn't very good.
