Gosh, just imagine if the MSM had parsed *'s words as assiduously as they do Obama's?

And I'm not talking the malapropisms, I mean the stuff he says in earnest.

"Just a goddamned piece of paper!"

"I'm the decider!"

"Heck of a lot easier if this were a dictatorship, so long as I'm the dictator!"

Etc.

Obama makes a few flubs (if you could even call them that) about people being "bitter" and now something about American people eating too much and they are going nuts. Or he says something about talking to our enemies; something that practically like every past leader has done, in one capacity or another. Of course they're not subjecting McAngerIssues to the same scrutiny, either.

I know IOKIYAR. :grr:

1. He is too dumb for it to be effective

[2rth2pwr]

2. Obama has made a big deal about the power of words.

4. Of course you would defend Bush

:eyes:

8. Hey, when does the 2rth thing kick in with you?

We've been waiting for some time now. :shrug:

[2rth2pwr]

10. Am I wrong about "Just words"?

[Webster Green]

11. From what I've seen, you are wrong about everything..

However, in Opposite World everything you say is true. :smoke:

[2rth2pwr]

14. No examples?

[Webster Green]

15. I said everything!

Simply subtract everything you haven't said. The rest is all bullshit.

Mmm-kay? B-)

3. Aren't we the fattest country in the world?

I think we do eat too much.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

7. I don't get the sense that's what he was referring to.

It seemed to be about our use of resources and feelings of being entitled to have food shipped in from all over the world to keep up with our tastes. I don't care how much you weigh, it's a good idea to think about how far that Caesar's Salad traveled to get to your plate. Ultimately, observing a healthier, and more local, diet might be good for our waistlines, but I don't think that's the larger point he was making in that statement.

5. It's all about the "Melanin" count.....The more you have, the better

you must be. That's the simple fact. :(

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. Definitely a major factor, but just being a Dem hurts too.

Look what they did to John Kerry for botching a joke. :(

[sandnsea]

6. The amount we spend to suck fat out

could feed whole countries. It's something to think about. We're hurting our own health and we're hurting the world.

[smalll]

12. In other words, "White folks' greed runs a world in need"? Is that what you're saying?

;)

[me b zola]

13. Your decoder ring is broken

That's what I'm saying.

[wowimthere]

16. And they're never going to scrutinize McCain because people expect low standards from the GOP
