I stand with President Barack Obama

[Pab Sungenis]

102. Now on to the meat of the post....

The laughter is because only an idiot would equate support for President Obama with support for war criminals.

That was not clear from the context of the post.

And your comprehension still sucks. Please tell us how the fact that war criminals not being prosecuted means Obama is "standing" with them.

I did not make that claim. I made the statement that one of his worst betrayals was not prosecuting war criminals. That could be seen by some as Obama "standing with" them is a logical extrapolation of his actions; if he is not prosecuting their crimes he must support them.

I made a comment that your smilie implies that you find torture and other war crimes funny. If that is not the case, you might want to edit your post to clarify that.

Really, I get that you don't like Obama.

Actually, I quite like the man. But I dislike the way he governs. Especially when it's compared to the way he campaigns.

But to equate him with war criminals is something I expect from the right, not someone on a progressive website.

The same could be said for blind, unquestioning devotion. Obama is not a cult leader; we are the Democratic Party, not the Branch Barackians. Criticizing his actions is our right and our duty. And insulting people who disagree with his actions is a good way to divide the party. As I said elsewhere in this thread, please don't kick the sleepy dog.

Maybe you should stick to writing about the humor of Columbine. Oh, did I take away the wrong impression from the title? Guess someone was unclear!

Is Dreams of my Father a book transcribing dreams that the President had about his father? Of course not. The title is a literary device. If you want to know what the title of my book means, here's the back cover blurb:

Seeking revenge against a bunch of high school bullies, redress from an intransigent school system, and escape from their mundane lives, Jake and his friends Mick, Topher, and Whitey make plans to stage a mock Columbine-style school shooting, fake their deaths, and get out of the country. An audacious plan, but planned meticulously down to the last detail....

...except for one boy oversleeping, one stuck babysitting his 12 year-old brother, their getaway car being towed with the guns in the trunk, encounters with protesting mothers and bizarre cultists, and the annoying fact that no one bothered to bring any bullets.

As obstacle after obstacle is thrown in their path, the boys reassess their plans and their friendships. And when they finally make it to school, things really get interesting.

So now you can see why the title was chosen.
