If you look at this strictly as a hiring decision between 2 applicants

[cilla4progress]

really, how could you go with the smarmy, phony, out of touch white guy?

Looking at Pres. Obama's job performance over the past 4 years AND the past week - there is no comparison!!

1. Plus, the out of touch guy talks too fast and is nervous

Sure bet to blow the interview .

2. i would never hire a guy who evades direct questions

And I would never allow a question to drop away until he answered it, even if the answer is "I don't know." And "trust me"is NOT ananswer.

3. The guy who lied on his resume...

... gamed the application process to ensure himself an interview, lied in the interview, failed to demonstrate moral fiber, ethical practice, empathy, ability to judge character, knowledge of the necessary subjects, or basic competence, ...

...Or the guy who is already demonstrating the opposite of all those things by doing an exemplary job despite direct interference from his adversaries, while remaining personally and professionally above reproach?

The pick is more a judge of your character than it is one of the candidates. Either you care about honesty, competence, and the rights of your fellow Americans, or you don't.

4. Obama is a seasoned and respectable person who has held this position. rMoney's a fucking asshole.

I think the decision is pretty easy.
