My Republican friends are turning cartwheels [View all]

trying to explain the whole 47% thing. It's become entertainment for me.

One went through and re-wrote on Facebook what he said as what he SHOULD have said. (And what he wrote didn't sound much better to me and I explained why.)

One said his words were taken out of context and that whenever he's caught in a "gaffe" it's always out of context but when Obama says something like "you didn't build that" he really means it. (To which I asked how the 47% statement was out of context and gave the context of the "build that" thing.)

One said it's an example of how the media wants Obama in the White House. (I just laughed at that.)

They're standing behind him, but they're having to work hard at it. They're going nuts about this and they haven't gotten particularly upset about anything else he's done. This was it. This was the one that really got to them. They're backing him up but they know how bad it is.

I can't wait for Election Day. I plan to make it a holiday. We're going to order pizza (not Papa Johns ROFL but a local place) and watch the returns come in. I predict an enjoyable night.

But that doesn't mean you should stay home! No no no - go and vote and vote straight party. Let's get some coattails going here!
