Super quote for consideration- H.L. Mencken
Mar 2, 2014 15:33:36 #
H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and
a Democrat. He wrote this editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening
Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."

I guess that makes me NON-plain, because I never wanted my equal running the greatest nation on earth ! I Knew it was WAY beyond most people's capabilities. So many people saw through the fast-talking 'narcissistic moron', but the machine was in place. Now--those that v**ed for him refuse to back down, even though they've GOT to see how awful he is for the country.

We somehow avoided some of the problem: The wars are still going on, the economy hasn't recovered, but the moron has retired to Texas and can cause no further harm to America.

Another original, thoughtful contribution from a great thinker. Give it up. Pres. Bush has been retired from office for 5 years. Dredge up something flattering to say about YOUR guy instead. Oh...you can't find anything flattering ? I thought not.....

The Granadians have retaken Granada since the Reagan invasion.
The Taliban is different from Al Queda (sp). They are separate groups. The Taliban has not retaken anything, but it is possible they could if we withdraw.

Old Gringo don't thunk at all, he just emotes when he gets a flair up of his rhoids. I have to hear people call our American president a Cretin, it is un-American as well as stupid.

You call our president a fast-talking 'narcissistic moron? That is an insult to all Americans. You talk nonsense, he didn't tank the economy, start two wars and not only borrow money from China to fight them, but reduced taxes to support the. Get real. You obviously don't h**e the guy because he is black. I am sure you will say that and that you have black friends and anyone with any sense at all will know our are totally FOS. Don't bad mouth my president.

You are partially correct. Obama is more intelligent than a cretin, such as yourself, he is more akin to a moron.
