ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth I'm not "surrounded" by anyone other than beth; together we tend to avoid crowds. However when we are in the company of friends - the criteria is be able to take a position, think, and discuss. You may feel lost in such an environment, but most thrive and enjoy themselves. Right. Keep telling yourself that. Would love to meet this "company of friends" have the feeling they are all mentally bankrupt.. I see you reverted to your basic identity appropriate to your ability; confirming - once a Stooge - always a Stooge. Although not even as funny as 'Joe Besser' let alone Shemp,; you've provided my laugh of the day! THANKS! You've insulted more CM people than you know however I'll leave it to them to speak for themselves. There is one thing I will say for them, they don't hide behind a false persona. A fraud needs to cover up and hide - they don't. However, this is entirely disingenuous with the comments which were the catalysis of your astute observations. Where is the attack or misrepresentation of Obama, his accomplishments, or the position he finds himself? Obama could start shitting gold ingots to pay off the deficit and still face criticism if some of them need to have corn kernels picked out of them. The man is a product of his handlers. Even in the most neutral situations, outside their guiding influence and TelePrompTer delivered lines, the man has problems acting or talking without a script. Opening day of baseball - the most neutral of situations; made it through the scrutiny of the first pitch, up in the announces box, he discloses his lifelong association with the 'South Side' White Sox. "Great Mr. President, and who is your favorite White Sox?" The question stumps him! Hell - go with Steve Kemp, go with a traded guy - Tom Seaver, or the farm hand who got away - Sammy Sosa; instead another long winded answer referencing his Hawaiian roots!? Hilliary Clinton proclaimed herself a 'Yankee Fan' during the NY Senate primaries and it almost cost her the election. Obama never got the 'tough'; "who's your favorite player" questions during the campaign and now - with each one asked - it discloses him to be a placard image without substance. Same as Hilliary - same source of cause/effect - the handlers; but only distinct from the 'Red' linen by visibility and coverage for the time being. Regan may not have known as much or been half as intelligent as either, but he would have been able to chat and talk with the baseball announcers through a hour long rain delay and not made such poor representation of himself as Obama did in one question. This is what we have - this is what we deserve. Obama, like Carter before him, is an intelligent man totally miscast, over his head, and lost in the position he finds himself. Bowing, hand shaking, hugging, kissing, or misrepresenting the pragmatic immediate impact of the health care bill he just signed; the man can't do a damn thing right. I'm sure he's smarter than this - but we'll never see it or have the opportunity to benefit from it. Not now - when even his unquestioning apologists, watch, listen and shake their heads as the try to rationalize what happened to 'CHANGE!'. Should I have referred to him as stupid instead of "intelligent"? Should I have said he was dumber than this instead of "smarter"? Did he represent the Health Care Law correctly at the college speech or is everyone else mistaken about the 2014 delivery date?
