123. I keep seeing statements like this and I am so ....
weary of them. Star Wars was a movie franchise. There are no Jedi Masters. They were a figment of someone's imagination. There are other smart people in this country. Obama does not have a monopoly on intelligence. He is responsible for what his actions produce. If you add one and one you will get two. It is his actions that produce the lack of public support. He says one thing and does another. He denies that he has made statements that have been caught on video tape and expects to be believed despite the evidence of our eyes and ears. That is not logical thinking.

There are no unicorns except in imagination. There is no rosy master plan. There is a politician who acts like a politician with people who had hope of better, reading all kinds of mystical symbolism into his every act. It doesn't exist. What exists is a man calling himself a Democrat while acting like and catering to Republicans and the people who make excuses for him while blaming everyone but him for his actions. There is a serious flaw in that chain of logic.

You're not at the movies now. You're in the world and it is cold and hard and can be very ugly at times. People who see where they are going are a lot less likely to fall flat on their faces. If you want to support Obama, go ahead and do it whole heartedly. But please stop with the movie symbolism because you are making some of us very tired and that makes us want to ignore your posts. If you want to reach only people who think as you do that will work out well. If you want to reach the people who disagree which will have to be done before the next election, you might want to stop blaming us for Obama's mistakes in judgment.
