Feel free to ignore me as well, but maybe you should stop a moment to consider whether anyone really ever pays any attention to _your_ yapping, other than to express amusement. I’m just sayin’. Whatever it is you think you’re doing when you post these threads, your blind partisanship routinely destroys any semblance of credibility you may seek to earn here, and you certainly don’t seem to be accomplishing anything else constructive. ---

Obama prefers orange juice to coffee. Clearly, he’s not American, because … … … … Americans don’t drink orange juice? ---

What gets me, is, when it’s something other than politics, he seems to have a decent head on his shoulders. ---

On the Leno show last night, Obama said some things that were amusing. He’s getting a new dog, a Portugese Waterhead. Never heard of those before. he was also bragging about his leet bowling skills. He’s been practicing and now can bowl a 129 (ooooooooooh aaaaaaaaah). 😃 ---

Yes, “our guy” can say dumb things too. Imagine that. I guess the “right” thing for all us rabid Obamunists to do, is to 1. Pretend it hever happened 2. Blame it all on being taken deliberately out of context by the vast conservative media conspiracy. 3. Attack you, for even bringing it up. ---

He said something that many others have likened themselves to, in a non insulting or derogatory fashion. He was making fun of himself and now those in his own party and staff are in panic mode. BFD. The gold medal Special Olympian in bowling could probably kick his ass and break a measly 129 FWIW. ---

It’s not that. How uniformed and stupid can a President be before it irritates the hell out of anyone here? Anyone with half a brain knows how stupid it is, but not Obama.
