What is wrong with part time jobs at McDonald's particularly when his critics like you keep saying that people are lazy, do not want to work and instead only want to live on welfare. Besides, is this a reversal from the point where under Bush 500,000 jobs per month was being lost and the unemployment trolls were phenomenally high during Obama's first year? I assumed that what you claim about low paying jobs is true even though the situation on the ground is not.

Do you personally know of someone who is an engineer or a PhD who lost his/her job and is now doing a McDonald's job. I don't know of any and hence I do what any logical person would do: consider such talk as BS.

Now on 100% increase in healthcare costs. This year, we are only going to see a yearly inflation in healthcare cost of at most 4.5% and not the 12% plus that I saw for the last 10 years before Obamacare. With this inflationary rate, go figure out how much the rise in premiums will be in 5 years time and this would compensate for the initial rise in premiums.

It is too early to tell what the politics are about Hillary's comments. She certainly has to defend why she advised Obama against undertaking the mission to kill Osama. So it is more about posturing to answer that question than distancing from Obama.

Racism exists. Have you heard of the term "undercurrent"?

I thought hard whether I should spend any time to respond to something that is devoid of intellectual merit and instead is just political rhetoric.
