I think that’s one thing wives tend to do, at least in theory that is.

I guess they took a look at the average American and realized that they are idiots and make decisions with thier (ever expanding) guts. Most Amricans can’t be bothered to listen to and figure out issues. if it’s not a 5 second sound byte, they can’t keep it in their heads. Sadly, that’s the sort of up-hill battl rational and thoughtful folks have before them.

I suppose the Republicans are masters of this sort of thing because they actually do think that way?

Bullshit! He looks and acts like the kinda guy that’d be first to get his lights punched out in a bar! A spoiled ignoramus… a punk.

Why must they set the bar so high for someone with the verbal communication abilities of a two-year-old?

On the bright side, even though I disagree with Obama’s overreaching compromises, I can at least listen to him without getting a headache…
