12. I know what you mean, but I don't think so. If they had anything why'd they do such dumb stuff?

I mean, really. Birthers? It's a stupid and desperate as it sounds. Communist? Socialist? They'd have to find a copy of the Little Red Book under his pillow for it to be any more extreme than they've tried to imply.

I think that's one reason Obama's been so cautious this term. He's given them every opportunity to meet in some middle ground, hasn't given them any more ammo than it took to maintain his principles, and once they lose and go shrieking to Jeb Bush (I mean, really, who've they got?) he can wait for people to see how much better the economy and human rights are and let Hillary move on up and be the next ass kicking Democrat in the White House. Okay, I can dream, can't I?
