Take off your partisan glasses. Face it, if a Republican candidate had given the same answer, you'd be calling it brilliant...especially if Fred 'I Won't Dance To His Tune' Thompson had said it.
It moves Obama up +5 points in my book, but he still has an overall score of -2,500 points. So don't worry, I won't be voting for him.
Wrong...it's a terrible answer and it perfectly displays the difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives think this IS a great country...was well founded and is worth fighting for. Liberals think they need to fight to make this country great...with socialized medicine, entitlement programs, overtaxed upper class, open borders, public school indoctrination centers and the implementation of a radical anti-christian social agenda.
