Jennifer: Too many of your readers are terminal cases of the OIV (Obama Idolatry Virus)

1) They truly believe that Obama, PERSONALLY, initiated, planned, organized and managed his campaign, when it clearly was totally orchestrated by the Chicago Democrat machine,, strategy by David Axelrod.

2) They truly believe that dawdling, pushing back decisions, internal squabbling, and confused and confusing communications are evidence of gravitas and statesmanship.

3) They truly believe that infantile prattle, potty-mouthed insults and nonsequitor constitutes “commentary” and apparently spend all their time seeking targets for their inane invective.

As for those “behind the throne”, is it not interesting to note that, once Obama cinched the election, Uncle Jerry and Neighbor Bill, who had been very much under cover, have now emerged and become quite chatty?

This column is a classic case of not letting the facts get in the way of your opinion. If I were an English teacher and this came to me, I would grade it a D

Considering the fact that he has talked more than once about his second term since before he even got the nomination, I would have expected him to have all of this already figured out.

Someone who votes “present” or not at all as often as he has (even on issues he ostensibly holds a position on) will not be in any way decisive or principled.

He has never demonstrated any leadership qualities and has no record of accomplishment. Even so, he has published two … count ‘em … two memoirs with nothing more to write about than his own stream of consciousness.

The only thing he seems to do well is to read off a teleprompter convincingly — it is the only time he displays any real feeling. He will be as he always has been — in his own words, “… a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripe project their own views.”

Dragonfly nails it — Obama is a zero sum.

While Pres.-elect Obama wisely consults with Georgie Soros about which Cabinet picks will facilitate the establishment of the glorious new corporate state and one world initiative, we have the poop on the process of choosing the politically correct Obama family dog at:http://lumpsfromtheleft.blogspot.com/

The choice is made and we have the pic!

First, voting “present” in the Illinois state legislature doesn’t mean you’re not taking a stand.

What complete and utter bs – which flavor Kool-Aid is best? Take another swig. Down with all who criticize Obama the Empty!

George Soros has not decided yet just who will be in the Obama Cabinet.

@ #56 momof3

When are all the people who do not agree with my views going to leave the country?

Why don’t I just fly off into space and start a new country?
