yet George Zimmerman isn't white but the KKK loved him. Blacks liked less than Hispanics. thats ironic. Don't worry I'm an outcast. Been there done that screw it.

the editorial in my town's weekly Republican paper..
Blames "Pres. Barack Obama" ( they love to use the Barack thing)
for that Texas Hospital not being on the Ebola ball.

Yep....was Obama's fault, from the get go, according to them.

Problem is, people down here are just stupid enough to swallow it. Logic is not their strong point.

From the NYT story ( that repeatedly stated that what they found was not WMD and was known about) from last week. Heard it on Rush. Apparently Rove made the decision not to disclose the MAIN REASON FOR THE WAR.

"Obama said 'I', he's a NARCISSIST!"

"Obama said 'uh', he's not qualified, he doesn't have a plan!1!"

It's getting to the point where if Obama had a flake of dandruff on his shoulder, there would be 24 hour coverage of 'FLAKEGATE!' on Fox News.

Wed Oct 22, 2014, 01:51 PM

...but it would be a stupid criticism even if it were true.

Using the word "I" is normal.

This sentence contains the word "I:"
"I spent 20 years in India feeding the hungry."

Someone who says that sentence isn't showing a lack of concern for others.

and Chicken Shit.

Why that name I'm still perplexed.
Anyway it was about what Bush said when Saddam was captured, vs what Obama said when bin Landen was captured/killed.
It focused on Obama's "I's" vs Bush's "we"

My old friend who was once a liberal is now so brainwashed she didn't see that Saddam didn't need to be captured in the first place. I wouldn't have said I either.

He made most Americans feel like he understood their needs and was fighting for their interests. It is reported that after his death a man was asked if he knew FDR and the man's reply was, "I didn't know him, but he knew me."
