Some people are trying to find the truth about the freak in the WH, and some people support them. Others whine and snark.

The fact that I choose to live in the real world doesn't jeopardize your enjoyment of la-la land. You can just dream me out of existence.

By the same token, characterizing my position as "snark" does nothing to make your dream-world any more real.

But by all means use me as your boogie-man. Seems strange that you'd spend time and energy directing your criticism my way, but it helps to "vent," I suppose.

See, what you and the others who have taken out your frustrations on me in this thread don't seem to get is that I don't need to be convinced that Obama is not legitimate. I believe it. I don't need any more evidence than I get every day by watching his actions as "President."

I don't doubt his illegitimacy. I don't doubt that he's completely unsuited to the job.

What I do doubt is that we're going to see an opening of the flood-gates of MSM sentiment, and an ensuing rush of cleansing torrents. I don't see it coming, as it came with Nixon forty years ago.

The reason is that Nixon was hated by the MSM for a variety of reasons, going back to the manner in which he defeated Jerry Voorhis in his (Nixon's) first campaign for federal office. The fact that Nixon was - subliminally, anyway - tagged with the mantle of "the man who lost Vietnam" by the Silent Majority made it that much easier to take him down. Nixon (of course) handed his antagonists more than enough weaponry to take him down, and they did so with relish.

Obama is in the opposite situation. The MSM loves him, adores him... because not only do they want to love and adore him, they also want to be seen as loving and adoring him. By loving and adoring him, they identify themselves as non-bigots. Since most of them actually are bigots, this is a very important form of expiation for them.

This is why the "illegitimacy attack" has not worked and will not work.

Sorry if that seems snarky to you.

Startling aperçu. BTW, of course the documents are phonies. But no one in authority will look.
