[It’s a stupid phrase, but it’s an old one.](http://snarkmarket.com/blog/snarkives/societyculture/blood_and_treasure_genealogy_and_contexts/) While some people do drool over Obama and it can be annoying to read, **Jimmy Joe Meager** shows once again that satire should be left to professionals - or at least to people who are somewhat intelligent and not blindly partisan. ---

As far as I’m concerned, G W Bush was a gross incomepent, a colossal fuck up, a little boy playing at being president, possibly one of the worst presidents we ever had. As to Obama, I consider him to be less fucked up. How’s that for total adoration? I hope I wasn’t gushing too much. ---

I guess technically one group could be stupider than another. Kind of like the question: Who was stupider, Einstein or Hawking? ---

This is a weak pitting and tweaking of hyper-sensitive lefties who’s chins quiver at anything other than fawning adulation of their precious One. This is neither an attempt at nor invitation to serious debate. Oh. It’s a troll. Well, thanks for being so candid about it. I know you’re not serious about debating, but could you please demonstrate the existence of “Obama-worshipers”? Sasha and Malia don’t count, btw. They’re entitled. 😛 ---

They’re entitled. 😛 You fail, miserably, on several counts. Allow me to un-stupidest you. (1) No, it’s not. Just because I make you mad doesn’t make me a troll, and I’m not posting inflammatory comments solely to get a rise out of people. I’m Pitting those who blindly follow Obama. (2) “I know you’re not serious about debating, but could you please (debate)?” What part of “I know you’re not serious about debating” don’t you understand? OK, OK… would you accept the ineffable proof of none other **Marley23** , esteemed Moderator? > [@Marley23](#): > > While some people do drool over Obama and it can be annoying to read… “Drool”. “Annoying”. His words, not mine. (3) “Entitled”? “_ENTITLED_”? There you go again! Liberal left-wing kooks offering yet another entitlement! And don’t EVEN get me started about THEIR birth certificates!! ---

So apparently you don’t fall into the category of “Obama worshiper”. Thank you. ---

> [@bup](#): > > What country was Obama born in? God’s country. Fool. Actually, there is some serious, legitimate debate, which I believe merits thorough examination, over whether or not he was born in the country, or in the city. I will not stop until the truth is revealed. ---

I think this line of thought leads the “other side” to believe that you, in fact, don’t care who runs the office as long as it isn’t Bush. False, sir. Money spent is money spent, regardless of how or who spends it. Someone has to pay for that lost money, somehow someway. Yes, yes, we can get into a moral dilemma of what was spent for whom. Honestly a case could be made for either candidate to who will do/did best for the country. People have a hard time believing that the “other guy” could do better, regardless of who the other guy is. btw, I voted for Ron Paul as hopeless as that was. ---

With all due respect, thinking someone a “pretty decent fellow” and “abject adoration” are nowhere near synonymous. It’s the fools who drool over Him in an annoying fashion that I pity. I pity them. I pity the fools. ---
