Obama's journalistic supporters live in a bizarre alternate reality in which a politician's actual words mean nothing. When the president says something foolish and offensive, he didn't say that. Meanwhile every comment from a Republican can be translated, through a process of free association, to: "We don't like black people."

When I listened to Romney's speech there was ONE thing that really stuck out and it and it was his RIDICULING of the rising of the oceans. I was thinking, "My God, we're in the 21st century and science is the mainstay of human existence, yet this guy is JOKING about global warming". It was like listening to a Pope in 1500 joking about the Earth NOT being the center of the solar system. I don't know enough science to know how serious global warming is or if it is serious at all, but I DO know that last summer was the HOTTEST summer I've seen in my lifetime and this is the first time I've ever seen tornadoes in Brooklyn, so I don't think it would be TOO much to ask that people that want to be President treat the subject as not a matter of ridicule at LEAST.
