Just because “Obama is an idiot” doesn’t mean that “Sarah Palin is NOT an idiot,” logically speaking. There’s no association/relation between the objects “Obama” and “Sarah Palin.”
I didn't say there was or wasn't. I simply noted what a family member said. He didn't mention any change in view toward Palin, just toward Obama.
