Showing Original Post only (View all)Nance Greggs: ODS – Obama Derangement Syndrome [View all]

f you believe the following, you are probably suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS):
If Obama said it, its a lie. When its proven to be the truth, he got lucky because its just a crazy coincidence that his lie turned out to be the truth after all. If he knew it was the truth, he would never have said it in the first place.
If Obama makes a speech about a specific issue, hes just spewing pretty words. If Obama doesnt speak on a specific issue, hes trying to hide something. Or he should have spoken about something else entirely, because when he gets specific about one issue, that means hes ignoring all of the really important issues he should be speaking about those issues being whatever it was he didnt mention.
If Obama did it, it must have been the wrong thing to do. When it turns out to have been the right thing to do, then Obama never did it. And if he did do it, he did it the wrong way. It was too little, too late or it was too much, too soon. It went too far while, at the same time, it didnt go far enough. And even if it turns out to have been right, its still wrong...
