190. Please forgive me, I'm just another one of those addle-brained
Baby Boomers who mebbe took one too many baton blows to the head back in the day, inspired by TOM HAYDEN to put my body on the line as he did. My eyesight and hearing ain't what they used to be. But I tell you what, I can still spit enough tacks to upholster a divan and I ain't senile jes' yet. So when someone tells me they're a "uniter, not a divider" and then proceeds to appeal to DIVISIONS it sorta does get my attention...

Look, JD, all snark aside now. Barack Obama is a GOOD MAN. His voting record is stellar. He's an OUTSTANDING orator. The Beltway is a cloistered and sick system in which many are chewed up and spit out. The view from INSIDE is distorted. The Democrats have alienated their base and Obama is following suit by decimating his potentially INCREDIBLE cross-over appeal.

Rather than "interpreting" and "explaining" what he really meant while taking potshots at li'l ol' librul black aunties like me, you might do well to get back to your candidate and EXPLAIN TO HIM HOW his tactics of polarisation are hurting him. That is, IF you GET IT. Because CLEARLY he doesn't.
