Nah. never did. the guy has been peeing in the republican cup... really annoyed the hell outta the base. he's about as much of a republican as ron paul is.
for me, that's a good thing. for the old republican base.. not so good.
now back to the question!
Given that Obama is not supporting a local reform initiative to clean up corrupt political practice in his constituents back yard, why should americans trust him with stewardship of politics in our front yards?
Well, lets say... if I had a dog ...and if that dog would get an electric shock everytime he tried to go past the edge of my property, and he would continue to trot right up to that property line and jump back in shock and pain,,,, well i would think that dog was not very wise... where as you... might think that dog was adventurous.... and needed to explore new avenues ....
where as I would think that if you know that it is a futile endeavor and refrain from any prodding to go ahead and get that shock because someone wants to see you suffer a little and go ahead... Now i would think that dog is one wise animal... whereas you... would be frustrated and determined to find a way for that dog to try something else -because it is important to you to prove a point about how wise that dog really is....
Now me, I understand the whole point of your arguing for that dog go there to that extreme... but I also understand that that particular dog actually doesn't run in that pack to where he is the top dog... he is a member of the pack to some extent.. but if he bit the heels of any of the dogs in front of that pack... the dogs behind him would not be very amused... so to keep from having the pack attack him ...or leave him alone to fend for himself... he wisely stays in the yard and enjoys the bones that are thrown to him, he might one day be promoted to one of the top dog positions ... that then is a whole bigger yard, with lots of guard dogs ... then that dog might be able to shut down some of that power grid and venture past that fence line...if he chooses to do so... There are dog packs in Arizona and Alaska too......
