130. Who is "we?" You and who else?
I surely hope you are not insinuating that I believe something because somebody posts it. I don't believe what most politicians say when campaigning; why the fuck would I automatically believe what anyone says about them in support or opposition during the course of that campaign?

I'm fully capable of examining available information and coming to my own conclusions. I came to that conclusion about Obama a long time ago.

Popping in to note that I agree with what someone else has said is no indication of gullibility, lol.

As a matter of fact, I made this point quite clearly in the post you are responding to:

I"t doesn't matter how good his speeches are, or what he SAYS, however charismatic. It matters what he will do.

I think many people, after the last 7 years, are so hungry for hope and change that they don't look past the speeches. They want and need to trust, so they do."

I don't give a flying fuck if you are stupid enough to believe that Obama is a radical muslim that isn't patriotic because he doesn't wear a flag pin. I'm blunt enough to say that I am not patriotic in the least, and I wouldn't wear a flag pin on my lapel either. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm neither a christian, a muslim, or a jew.

Why would you be asking me for confirmation about the story? The OP provided a link. If you want confirmation, contact the press that published it.

Give Obama a chance to respond? Who's stopping him? Of course, since I don't automatically believe anything he says, his response doesn't carry more weight with me than the article at the link does. :shrug:
