“If you haven’t read the entire article...”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!! Why would I post a short article (only 1,500 words) I haven’t read?
Obviously, there are a slew of nimbnodes who read the headline, the excert and then come to some knuckleheaded conclusion.
I did read the entire article, but I have to say your excerpt WAS misleading. Not everyone wants to click through to the article. Sometimes I don’t—sometimes I WON’T depending on what the site is (I sometimes get bad things on my computer at Drudge, for instance). Your excerpt, combined with the title, definitely makes it seem like that was an Obama quote. Don’t shoot the messenger—you could have made it more clear and avoided all of this.
But for the record, while that wasn’t a direct Obama quote, I have NO doubt that it expresses his mindset.
