(2,104 posts)the conservatives and right wing extremists. You see it is too much for them that a smart black man is the president of the United States, more than that a Black Man beat out an old White Man. Furthermore they are so incensed by their racist hatred they need to believe he is some kind of evil mastermind bent on their very destruction. So deluded they are they don't see what he actually has done or wants to do but what their own fear addled minds conjure up from coming after their guns to turning the country into a socialist state.
Mayor Booker is being 'attacked' because he stabbed the president in the back while wearing a 2012 Obama pin on his lapel. Supposedly he was working to re-elect President Obama and he just became part of attacking the president's re-election strategy calling Romney out on his record.
I can understand the mayor feeling sympathy/pressure from equity firms that might invest in his city or pay him money or whatever he's into but to say the the valid criticism of Romeny's 'experience' as a 'job creator' while at Bain is 'too much' and 'enough is enough' is asinine.
