(4,775 posts)2 days ago, phone rings, car mechanic calling, my car is ready for pickup. I ask "how late will you be there?" He says till 4:45, got to get home to see O'Reilly, then proceeds to explain to me how he used to be a Democrat, but that this Obama, he really doesn't like him, he's just completely incompetent, goes on and on about how incompetent Obama is, complaining about how hard it is to hold his new awareness when he doesn't know any other Republicans (I live in a very blue area). I explain how I don't like Obama either, but I would never even consider going over to the dark side, and that the real problem is the corporate money behind these parties.
He had very clearly been programmed by Fox to see Obama as incompetent, a weak and ineffective leader. What B.S. We can ridicule it, I often do, but it is very effective and needs to be called out, all the time. Thanks for the OP. Now I need to find a new mechanic, this one is sadly FUBAR.
