18. What really kills me is not so much that they are talking out of their a***s when they make comments

like that but that they are NEVER expected to elaborate or prove what they say (and they know it). It is just enough for them and their supporters that they said something mean and ugly about President Obama, which is what they know their audience wants.

Another thing that has started irritating me is that they seem to believe that everytime Obama talks about some thing he wants to do to help people (i.e. college), you'd think- the way right-wingers talk- Obama was making something mandatory.
