Or else you're giving too much credence to what your idols are telling you to think. Obama doesn't confine his nasty remarks to "actions or positions." Nor do the lefties in his party or their minions in the media. Remember all the juvenile jokes and remarks about "teabagging"?youtube.com huffingtonpost.com More recently, the Democrats have referred to health care opponents as "Nazis," and "unAmerican."blogs.usatoday.com Obama told supporters to go out and "get in the face" of opponents. Here's a good collection of background:hotair.com This one was from the campaign and a good illustration of the real Obama style and POV. [He's never stopped being a community organizer.]youtube.com Yet, Obama went on 60 Minutes this weekend and blamed the opposition for making the public discourse "coarse." [He was alluding to Wilson's "you lie" comment.] This from a guy who has no respect for the office he holds. He called the Cambridge cops "stupid" wrt the Cambridge/Gates incident, admittedly without knowing the facts. He also accused them of racism. [Wasn't he supposed to be a Uniter?]youtube.com He accused doctors of unnecessarily removing tonsils for money:youtube.com At the same time, the Lefties fell all over themselves about Van Jones, thinking nothing of him calling Republicans a-holes. [Not that I thought those remarks were a big deal, except for the fact that the man was foolish to say so on camera. The point is that this was not objectifying some position. It was just name calling.]:huffingtonpost.com The truth is that Obama doesn't want---and frankly, can't take---any opposition. He told us so:youtube.com And that is the story of how Mr. Hope and Change is largely responsible for the "coarse discourse" he allegedly dislikes. He only knows how to lead in community organizer fashion, which has not a thing to do with productive and honest discourse, and which should not be anywhere near the Oval Office. But Obama sure can't take opposition. Just look at how Sarah Palin's columns on Facebook send him into orbit....lol. We will never have a real conversation as long as a man with Obama's views and background is in the Oval Office. He is simply unable to lead the discussion in a positive manner. He also knows that the public really doesn't want what he's selling so that he must go about getting it through subterfuge. That is why he thwarts real debate and encourages his minions to shout down the opposition.
