Obama's support for this cretin is something that continues to give me pause... hlthe2b Sep 2013 #8
It is disconcerting that President Obama apparently didn't learn anything truebluegreen Sep 2013 #12

That makes no sense in the context of my point. n/t ProSense Sep 2013 #45
It absolutely does make sense. Maybe you're confused since your post was illogical. cui bono Sep 2013 #48
No, it was the response that was "illogical." n/t ProSense Sep 2013 #49
I added your quote to my earlier reply while you were responding. cui bono Sep 2013 #51
