Obama's Debt Crisis Speech

That’s silly. Anger creates energy. It fires up the base. It works with people who can’t think logically to save their life, because they will listen to emotion. If you can get the crowd to get angry with you, you can be completely illogical, and it doesn’t matter.

Heck, that’s pretty much how the Republicans get votes.

It’s bullshit, and the people who buy into it are idiots. Passion=good. Anger=stupid.

Well I do hope that when he Reagowned them someone short circuited.

Even if I grant that, Obama had neither. He’s playing Brutus to Boehner’s Mark Antony.

Yep, more of the “98% of Americans don’t have to pay more taxes. Its just $250,000+” rhetoric.

I don’t understand what’s rhetorical about this - it’s true, isn’t it?
