2. Force is all they want to do

Use military force. It's their solution to everything. They are going so far as to call any diplomacy "weakness." Their fear of "weakness" is the cause of their evil views on the world.

6. McCain has to suspend his campaign, Obama stays cool and handles the economic crisis in stride.

Romney's looking down his nose at 47% isn't much different that GOP candidates and governors looking down their noses on refugees.

And Obama is so right. These guys talk tough but they're in fact frightened of darn near everything (media, refugees, gun laws, health care, abortion, gay marriage, non white races, Muslims, social security, unemployment insurance, etc) in part because of the inbred ignorance and hatred passed on from generation to generation in their isolated lives. It's one thing to have it go on in your own house but when it's out for all to see on the world stage, it's embarrassing.

‏@LOLGOP "If you think fertilized eggs are people but refugee kids aren't, you're going to have to stop pretending your concerns are religious."

@LOLGOP "you have to wonder about a political party that talks tough but quivers at the mention of "anchor babies" or Syrian orphans"

@LOLGOP "It's embarrassing how Republicans blame the liberal media when the most savage attacks on GOP candidates are coming from the GOP frontrunner"

@LOLGOP "I agree with Dr. Ben Carson. It's completely unfair to treat him as a serious candidate for president."
