Obama meant to say it 100%, and would say it again.

Politicians at this level never ever “mis-speak.” EVERYTHING that comes out of their mouths is spoken exactly as it is meant.

Che Obama is a walking stereotype encyclopedia, it’s fascinating, almost like Obama really has taken Wright’s message to heart and that is how he views the world.

Obama was drawn to Wright because he heard what he already believed, being validated from the pulpit. Obama has been a dyed in the wool marxist at least since college, and Wright was speaking his language from the start. Wright's message is what drew Obama to him in the first place.

If the republicans are smart enough to connect all the dots he's leaving around, he should be complete toast by election day.

“Whenever someone is rude by cutting in line—or any of that type of thing—I loudly use Socratic irony in exclaiming with obviously-faked shock, “Oh, dear! Sometimes I forget that some people are better than others!””

That just happened to me last week.
When the line started moving, my 5 yr. old daughter said loudly “mommy why aren’t you moving? We’re supposed to be next!”

I replied loudly “we can’t honey! It seems we must be invisible to that nice couple who just stepped right in front of us!”

Obama WILL have a Britney moment. George HW Bush had it too at the end of the 1992 campaign. He could maintain his temper and would rant that his new name for Algore was Ozone because that’s how high you had to be to understand him or something like that.

Obama KNOWS what he wants to say, he also knows damn well that he cannot say THAT. So he has to conceal it, generally. But every now and then he slips.

Hillary is a bit more in your face about saying things like “we” are going to take things away from you on behalf of the greater good.

Welcome to flyover country. Nation of "you people"

Remember how "they" redrew the map of North America when Jean Kerry lost???

"they" don't like you OR your superstious beliefs and morals.

Now then, when Obama is done, be sure to edumacate the American populace that Hillary TOO espouses Marxism. And when they are defeated in the arena of ideas, let's make short order of the Marxists indoctrinating in our schools and serving in our Government.

Their fifth column was never dismantled even though older generations knew it was there and that it was harmful to the American way.

Let's be over that remnant of the Cold War for once and for all.

“McCain is old and out-of-touch (like Dole “was” and notice how Dole’s own campaign pitch actually re-inforced the Clinton’s negative meme against him.)”

I sure hope McCain deals with the age issue more like Reagan did....saying he won’t dwell on his opponents youth and inexperience in a lighthearted way.

Because really - it’s true.
When Bill ran against Dole he actually did have executive experience as governor.

Hill and Barry don’t have experience.
McCain should use his age and experience to his advantage.

Just how liberals think about life outside the big cities where they congregate. As far they're concerned, Flyover Country doesn't exist.

Abstractly, they know we exist. They just wish we didn't. Because we're so friggin' dumb we can't pull the "D" lever in the voting booth...once we find our way there.

It would an, oh, so much better world if we didn't have the vote. And if wheat, corn and rice could grow and be harvested by elves. And cattle, hogs, etc. could fend for (and butcher) themselves. And if oil somehow spurted from the ground like spring water (right next to a refinery, of course). And all this produce and commerce could get to their homes without benefit of a nasty dirty truck or a noisy train.

They are ignorant -- yet arrogant -- bastards, aren't they?

“Husband gave him MY standard speech on how The Second Amendment has nothing to do with ‘guns’ but everything to do with the PEOPLE arming themselves against the abuses of GOVERNMENT!”

He’s right except that arming ourselves with Pitchforks and axes isn’t going to work, I prefer guns!

...or maybe a Tank or two!

Oh, wow! That's even better!! You're my new hero.

And I hope that you bought your daughter something very nice.
