Why are you insulting us ? Do you really think anyone
here is stupid enough to believe that nonsense ?

Sheesh.


Hmmm...I asked every Obama supporter I know, and I know a fair amount,
to give me a pitch, and to a person, including those here on ROFF, I got
nothing but parroting of Obama's claims. No numbers, no facts, nothing.
And any criticism or even questioning of The Cult of St. Obama is met
with charges of partisanship, ignorance or worse. A fair amount of
folks here are involved in the sciences, and I can't imagine any would
accept such, well, purely subjective anecdotally-generated opinion that
must be accepted without question as evidence of anything.

I said well before Obama was, er, fully anointed that I thought that a
McCain-Obama ticket would not only be a slam-dunk winner, but the best
possible thing for US politics and the US overall. As it turns out, it
appears he's nothing but yet another self-absorbed white-trash limo
"liberal" lying hypocrite with a **** on wheels for a wife and spoiled,
bratty kids that are "off-limits" until they need to drag 'em out in
front of the public to prove what a special family they are...and the
only real "jobs" he's ever had involve sucking on the public tit...IOW,
the Obamas are the Clintons with a spare Chelsea.

And to top it off, the guy who claims to able to put the financial
system back on track just spent !!__600 mil__!! of OPM to attempt to win
a job that, had he been anything remotely close to "the real deal," he
should have been able to have for the asking. Plus, given his positive
media coverage, even a "sorta-kinda deal" should have had this thing
completely sewn up 15 minutes after the GOP convention.

Hope and change, my ass,
